Both believe in the same God. Abraham, recognized by both Jews and Christians, spoke with God and followed his commands. Therefore, Christianity and Judaism are one in the same since they can trace their origins back to a single person. I believe this would be the main point of contention in regards to this class. However, while the origins are the same, the other beliefs that are part of these two religious traditions separate them. While I do admit I have a lack of knowledge about Judaism, I think of this example when showing that the two faiths are different. In Christianity, Jesus is the Messiah and came to save us from sins. For those in the Jewish tradition, the Messiah has not arrived
