Best Answer

To make it brief, Christianity and Judaism both believe in the Old Testament. Christians believe that the Messiah has already come. Jews are still waiting for the Messiah.

Answer

Since Christianity is based on the rejection of Judaism, they aren't the same. The Jewish Bible is called the Tanach and is made up of three section: Torah (Teachings), Nevi'im (Prophets), K'tuvim (Writings). The Christian Old Testament is based on the Tanach but was altered to support the teachings of Christianity.

The word messiah is the anglicised version of the Hebrew 'moshiach'. Moshiach literally means anointed and was a title given to any person who was properly anointed with oil as part of their initiation to their service of HaShem (The Creator). Historically, we had many valid moshiachim (pl): kings, priests, prophets, judges. There is a prophecy of a future moshiach, however, there is nothing supernatural about him, he'll be a religious Jew who will lead the country of Israel. The idea of the moshiach is a relatively minor subject in Judaism.
Christianity and judism are the same because both religions believe that Jesus is Gods son and that The Bible is his word-but Jews don't believe on the new testimate. they they think that Jesus hasn't come yet and that he hasn't died on the cross like christians believe.
