When Jews think of Chrstianity or Chrstians think of Judaism (if they think of Judaism at all) they think that the religions are very similar with one big difference. Jews don't accept Jsus as the messiah and Chrstians do.
This myth probably stems from the term "Judeo Chrstian" or perhaps even because Chrstians accept the Jewish holy texts as "true" even though they call them old and replaced with the "new" and improved testament.
In reality Judaism and Chrstianity are very different religions. We have little in common -- and that includes how we view the messiah.
For the past eight years or so I've moderated and administered a number of counter-missionary forums. I've answered tens of thousands (or so it seems) questions from Chrstians, Muslims and Jews about Judaism in general, the suffering servant in Isaiah 53, virgin births and more.
One of those forums is now defunct (Jews for Judaism) but you can visit me at the Messiah Truth forum (http://p069.ezboard.com/bmessiahtruth) or Kosher Judaism (http://www.kosherjudaism.org/forum/)
This blog is my little shtetl on the internet to write my thoughts on these and other subjects. A shtetl for those of you unfamiliar with the term was the name given to Jewish towns in Eastern Europe prior to the Holocaust.
