Christianity? Aside from Jesus and: keeping Kosher, the way/day the Sabbath is observed, what are other MAJOR differences between Christianity and Judaism? For example deal breaker level differences.

Christians consider Christ a deity (God). Jews do not. They and Muslims consider him a prophet from God. That's the only MAJOR diff. I see.

Jews do believe in a Hell (Sheol) and the Devil (ha-Satan).

Jews practice the Shabbot on the actual day, Friday at dusk to Saturday at dawn, whereas the Christians changed it to Sunday from midnight to midnight.

Jews do not believe that Jesus was a prophet nor a messenger of God, but a false prophet; it is only Muslims and Christians that honor Jesus as the Messiah, but Muslims don't regard Jesus as God, nor the son of God.

Jews don't have the concept of original sin since Adam and Eve repented and were forgiven, mankind are born without sin but turn to sin afterward, but have the chance to repent for their sins. Christianity believes that everybody is born of sin and have to believe in the blood atonement of Jesus.

Jesus (a Jew) stated that he was sent only to the lost sheep of Israel, not the Gentiles, that Jews must still abide by the Ten Commandments [see Matt 15:21-24]; whereas, the Christians stated that Jesus was sent for mankind, and that the Law doesn't have to be followed, no longer valid. [see Ephesians 2:8-9; Romans 3:20, 3:27-28]

Judaism has some cultural influence from ancient Greek and Babylon; whereas, Christianity is a retrospect of Roman and Germanic paganism.

Judaism doesn't believe in hell or a devil. Judaism believes virtually everyone will go to heaven after a limited time of purification. Keeping kosher is a way to please God, not a requirement for heaven.

Judaism believes that the Messiah will be a mortal man who will usher in an era of peace on Earth. He will have absolutely nothing to do with getting people into heaven and he is not to be worshipped.

Judaism believes the suffering servant in Isaiah 53 is a metaphor for Israel and has nothing to do with describing the Messiah.
