Nature of God (200)
From the Jewish point-of-view, God is the unique supreme authority, the creator of the world and the father of all people and nations. This opinion is quite different from the Christian point-of-view that considers that besides the creator God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit form the religious pedestal than rule their spiritual life. Jews stress the unique character of God, saying that He is the sole creative force within the universe. Jesus, the son of God in the eyes of Christians, is considered by Jews as being an ethical man that challenged and fought the religious authorities of that time. Another interesting opinion is the Islamic view that indicates Jesus as being a simple prophet, in contrast with Mohamed who was chosen by God to distribute the real faith, belief in divinity, all not modified by human intervention.
Satan is the contrast of God, according to Christian religion. Ruler of Hell, Satan is the one trying to alienate people from the religion in God. The continuous struggle between Good and Evil, and respectively between God and Satan is not present in the Judaic belief and culture.
Human nature (200)
The common belief of Christians and Jews is that people are in close resemblance with the image God. Even if it not the physical side, but on the fact...
The idea that people have to answer for their deeds in front of God relies solely on the fact that people can take rational decisions according to their free will. Jews consider that people are equal in the eyes of God, the love of God being spread in equal terms among all individuals. Muslin believers consider man to be superior to women, having more cultural, political or social rights - for example, women in Arabic countries are not allowed to vote, participate to social events unaccompanied by their husbands.
Other differences which arouse between the religions is the perception of the original sin. Jews do not perceive the original sin of Adam and Eve as the reason for the human leaving the Gardens of Eden. On the contrary, Christianity regards the original sin as the starting point for the human condition, the first exam failed by the human kind within their relationship with the divinity.
Conclusion (50)
As we could see from the text, there are differences and similar things among the religions of the world. The way people perceive religion depends greatly on human and theological interpretation, as well as on cultural differences.

Thus, the question continues to rise: "How can one know if a person is Jewish or not?" The Israeli Knesset and court system must decide who does or does not receive Israeli citizenship under the Law of Return. Likewise, for the Messianic Jew, there are numerous commands in Scripture to treat Jews differently than non-Jews. For example, "the Gospel....to the Jew first and foremost." At the time of Yom Kippur, the
