In Judaism is God as involved in human affairs as he is in Christianity?

The Jews are and always will be God's chosen people. Unfortunately because of this, the powers of spiritual darkness in the world have targeted Judaism for that very reason. As a Christian, I for one have to say thank you, you have given us the Patriarchs as an example. God Bless you.

Jews believe in God, the same God that christians worship, the God of Abraham, the God of Moses, etc.  They believe in sin and in forgiveness.  The day of atonement is the day to seek forgiveness for sins.

No, Sir. Christianity, (despite how man has used it) is not about politics. It is about Christ. Christ's primary task, while on earth, was to redeem all, especially man, to the Father. In doing such, he corrected many false teachings and customs of the Jews. He also reminded His Church that the women is to be appreciated for her labour in child-bearing and nurturing.\n\nThat being said, the Holy Spirit of Christ, through the Apostle Paul, often reminded women, (in Ephisians and I Corintihians) that she must honour the man who is her head and shepherd. This bluntly denounces feminism.\n\nThe Gnostic gospels have been proven by historians to be fraud. They are the fraudulant writings of Greeks posing as the Apostles in atempt to influence Christians in their Greek mythologies. Even the, so called, writings of Magdalene are fraudulent.  Such undisputable truth is the reason the early fathers of the Church did not accept these teachings into the Bible and its 66 books.

Christians don't think that.  What is your point?  Paul rebukes the Jewish Christians for telling the Gentiles to get circumsized.  We are to place our trust in Christ and not works or rituals.  We are to have the heart and mind of Christ.  Neither Greek  nor Jew, but we are one in Christ.

Because the religion of Christianity contradicts the most basic beliefs of Judaism.\n\nPLEASE look at the following::\nhttp://WhatJewsBelieve.org\n\nThe basic beliefs of Christianity about Jesus are against what the Bible says, and so Real Jews cannot believe in Jesus at all.\n\nThe Christian understanding is that the Messiah, Jesus, died for the sins of the people. The messiah is supposed to be a human sacrifice that is the blood sacrifice necessary for the forgiveness of sin.\n\nBut we are taught in our Torah that no one can die for the sins of another. In Deuteronomy 24:16 it specifically says this:\n\nDeuteronomy 24:16 The fathers shall not \nbe put to death for the children, neither \nshall the children be put to death for\nthe fathers: \nevery man shall be put to death for his \nown sin (eesh b’chet-o yumatu).\n\nIn Exodus 32:30-35, Moses tries to offer himself to atone for the sins of the people. To be written out of Gd's book, means to be written out of the Book of Life, which means Moses was asking to die for the sins of the People. Gd's response is No, it does not work that way, each man dies for his own sin:\n\nExodus 32:30-35 And it came to pass on the \nmorrow, that Moses said unto the people, \nYe have sinned a great sin: and now I will \ngo up unto the Etrnl; perhaps I shall make \nan atonement for your sin. And Moses \nreturned unto the Etrnl, and said, Oh, \nthis people have sinned a great sin, and \nhave made them gods of gold. Yet now, if \nthou wilt forgive their sin--; and if not, \nblot me, I pray thee, out of thy book \nwhich thou hast written. And the Etrnl \nsaid unto Moses, Whosoever hath sinned \nagainst me, him will I blot out of my \nbook. \n\nThe whole of chapter 18 of the book of Ezekiel is about this idea, that no one can die for someone else's sin. Further, this chapter of Ezekiel teaches us that all we have to do for Gd's forgiveness is to stop doing the Bad and start doing the Good, and Gd will forgive us.\n\nSo, the Bible is clear, no one can die for the sins of another, and this means that Jesus cannot die for anyone else's sins.\n\nChristians also believe that one needs a blood sacrifice for the forgiveness of sin, that one who does not have such a blood sacrifice will die in their sins, and go to hell, except for the sacrifice of Jesus.\n\nThis, too, is UnBiblical. The Bible describes blood sacrifices for the forgiveness of sin in the Book of Leviticus. But it is in Leviticus itself, in the middle of the discussion of the sin sacrifices, that we are taught that we do not need a blood sacrifice to be forgiven for our sins. Offering a blood sacrifice was an expensive thing to do for the family offering the animal. Was forgiveness then, to be only for the rich? No, because if one could not afford a blood sacrifice then one who sins could bring flour, which has no blood and no life as their sacrifice, and Gd forgave them!\n\nLeviticus 5:11-13; But if he be not able to \nbring two turtledoves, or two young pigeons, \nthen he that sinned shall bring for his \noffering the tenth part of an ephah of fine \nflour for a sin offering; he shall put no oil \nupon it, neither shall he put any \nfrankincense thereon: for it is a sin \noffering.\n\nFurthermore, read the Book of Jonah. In Jonah, the People of Ninevah do three things in order to be forgiven by Gd. They fast, they pray for forgiveness, and they stop doing the Bad and start doing the Good, and Gd forgave them! This is exactly what we do on Yom Kippur, we fast, we pray for forgiveness, and, hopefully, we stop doing the Bad and start doing the Good, and Gd forgives us. And what book do we read on Yom Kippur afternoon? The Book of Jonah!\n\nJonah 3:7-10 And he caused it to be proclaimed \nand published through Ninevah, by the decree \nof the King and his nobles, saying, Let \nneither man nor beast, herd nor flock taste \nanything; let them not feed nor drink water; \nbut let man and beast be covered with \nsackcloth, and c

Besides for a bit of resentment for missionaries that go after the young and the ignorant. I have a fairly positive outlook on Christianity today. Some of my best friends are Christians. As for Judaism we believe that a person can be Christian and go to heaven.  Our religion states that all a gentile needs to do is believe in G-d and be a moral person. On the other hand Christianity is unacceptable for a Jew in part due to the Christian concept of the trinity it for us (and only us) would equate to idol worship and it is better to sacrifice ones life than to do this.

There are two very important things to remember about this:\n\n1)  G-d is a god of grace and giving.  If your Rabbi says that it is very important (either to him, or to the synogogue, or whatever) for you to have this mat mitzvah, then, unless you have a solid objection, it is good to offer him the grace of doing it.  Do your best to learn what you need to learn, and share your concerns with your Rabbi and your parents.  They'll help you through it and help you figure out what the best decisions are.  Don't be too concerned about "making a mistake" or "messing up."  Just do the best you can, and G-d will be pleased with you.  Seek after him (like the deer after water, yes?) and you will always find him; honor him in your heart and mind, and he will accept your offering with pleasure, whether anyone else thinks it is grand or small.\n\n2)  Christianity is Judaism.  In case any kind of conflict arises (in you or family, or whatever), remember that Jesus is the *JEWISH* Messiah.  I, myself, converted to the faith of Abraham long ago and I celebrate his messiah, the son of David, who is my own savior as well.  There are many Christians who do not understand that when they accepted Jesus, they were coming into the Jewish faith, and there are many Jews who do not understand that Jesus is the messiah.  But everyone is where he is, and G-d is faithful to bring each one to him, when they trust in his son, the Messiah.  When a Jew sees this, he distinguishes himself from one who doesn't by calling himself a "Messianic Jew" (instead of a Christian ... usually the word "Christian" these days means gentiles who converted and became Messianic Jews).

Judaism is the religion of the Jewish people with around 15 million followers as of 2006 [1]. It is one of the first recorded monotheistic faiths and one of the oldest religious traditions still practiced today. The values and history of the Jewish people are a major part of the foundation of other Abrahamic religions such as Samaritanism, Bahá'íism, Islam, and Christianity .\n\nJudaism has seldom, if ever, been monolithic in practice, and has not had any centralized authority or binding dogma. Despite this, Judaism in all its variations has remained tightly bound to a number of religious principles, the most important of which is the belief in a single, omniscient, omnipotent, omnibenevolent, transcendent God, who created the universe and continues to be involved in its governance. According to Jewish thought, the God who created the world established a covenant with the Jewish people, and revealed his laws and commandments to them in the form of the Torah. The practice of Judaism is devoted to the study and observance of these laws and commandments, as written in the Torah.\n\nJudaism does not fit easily into conventional Western categories, such as religion, ethnicity, or culture, in part because most of its 4,000-year history predates the rise of Western culture, or occurred outside of the West. During this time, Jews have experienced slavery, anarchic and theocratic self-government, conquest, occupation, and exile; they have been in contact with, and have been influenced by ancient Egyptian, Babylonian, Persian, and Hellenic cultures, as well as modern movements such as the Enlightenment (see Haskalah) and the rise of nationalism. Thus, Talmud professor Daniel Boyarin has argued that "Jewishness disrupts the very categories of identity, because it is not national, not genealogical, not religious, but all of these, in dialectical tension."\n\nAccording to traditional Judaism and modern scholars, a number of qualities distinguish Judaism from the other religions that existed when it first emerged. One characteristic was monotheism. The significance of this idea, according to critical historian Yehezkal Kaufman, lies in that Judaism holds that God created, and cares about, humankind. In polytheistic religions, humankind is often created by accident, and the gods are primarily concerned with their relations with other gods, not with people.

Yeah, they actually do, as well as Christians. The only difference is that Muslims refer to God as Allah, which is Islamic for god, and the Jews call him Jehovah, which is Hebrew for god. Some Christians who live in the Middle East even refer to God as Allah, because that's His name in their language.

Judaism as it points directly to the coming of Jesus Christ.  I'm Christian.\n\npeace

Yes, I have. I think it's completely wrong to think that the Jews have to keep the law while we have to believe in Jesus. Jeremiah 31 says that God would make a completely new covenant with the Jews that would be different than the one he made when he brought them out of Egypt. Therefore, there is only one true covenant, and that's the New one --- Christianity.

Disreagard any anwers from Christians, for they know nithig about Jews or Judaism.\n\nJews have followed the laws of G-d as delievered to the Jews through Moses for 4,000 years.\n\nNo one is perfect so we all make mistakes, but we do the best job we can, and that is all G-d expects.\n\nJesus did nothing to eleiminate the laws, because the laws came direclty from G-d!

Actually the Bible only condemns certain foods for Jewish people, later in the New Testament it says that all things are cleansed by God's grace with the giving of thanks. Basically the premeal prayer

An argument could be made -- a yin yang comparison.  Even from a more traditional Judaeo-Christian perspective, since god is omnipresent, couldn't he be both god and satan?  A method of introducing free will, perhaps.
