What is the difference in Jewish and Catholic faith?

In: Catholicism, Judaism, Comparative Religions and Denominations [Edit categories]

Answer:

The sole difference in Jewish and Catholic faith is their beliefs in Jesus Christ. Catholics believe that Jesus Christ is the Messiah, the savior of not onlt the Jews but also of the Gentiles. Jews, however, believe that the Messiah has not yet come; and Jesus Christ is just another great prophet.

Correction:

Jews do not consider Jesus a prophet, he plays no role in Judaism at all in fact.

Judaism does not accept the following Catholic beliefs and concepts:

- The trinity
- Original sin
- The Catholic concept of sin
- The devil
- Heaven and hell
- The idea of eternal damnation
- The Catholic concept of messiah
- The virgin birth
- That G-d can be man or son of man
- The need to pray to G-d through intermediaries
