In the last few weeks‚ we have been discussing Judaism and Christianity. Many people including myself have lumped Judaism and Christianity as one religion on many occasions due to their very similar set of beliefs.

Between Judaism and Christianity‚ there are many differences. The distinctions chiefly rotate around the figure of Christ‚ and the fulfillment of prophecy in scripture‚ of which the figure of Christ is a central character. This point of contention is at the center of disagreements‚ but conflict spirals from this theological difference and will continue to do so.
