| | Judaism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Judaism claims that it is expressed directly in Torah (the Hebrew Bible), from the first word of Genesis to the last of Deuteronomy, and specifically where God incorporates it into the Ten Commandments: | | | Despite this, Judaism in all its variations has remained tightly bound to a number of religious principles, the most important of which is the belief in a single, omniscient, omnipotent, omnibenevolent, transcendent God, who created the universe and continues to be involved in its governance. | | | Although monotheism is fundamental to Rabbinic Judaism, many critical Bible scholars claim that certain verses in the Torah imply that the early Israelites accepted the existence of other gods, while viewing their God as the sole Creator, whose worship is obligated (a henotheistic point of view). |

| | Judaism was the first religion to teach Monotheism, or belief in one God. | | | But with the lengthy development of Judaism and its many changes it is incorrect to posit, as some have done, that Jewish history produced two separate religions: an OT religion of Israel and the postexilic religion of Judaism. | | | Deprived of land, temple, and cultic priestly ministrations, Judaism began to adopt a nonsacrificial religion. |

While Christianity thus asserted itself as the new Kingdom of God, the Jewish theocracy, guided by leaders unable "to know the signs of the times", was hastening to its total destruction. | | | With regard to creed, worship, and morality, the Jews felt themselves far superior to their pagan fellow-citizens, and the works of their leading writers of the time were in the main those of apologists bent on convincing pagans of this superiority and on attracting them to the service of the sole living God. |

| | Jewish Belief - Questions and Answers |
| | Messianic Judaism differs from Judaism in its belief in a tripartite God, its application of physicality to God (or part of God), its rejection of the binding nature of the commandments, and its redefinition of the Messiah. | | | Reform Judaism differs from Judaism in its rejection of the concept of prophecy (as defined by Jewish tradition), the Divine origin of the Torah, the authority of the commandments, the concept of reward and punishment, the Messiah, and the resurrection of the dead. | | | The belief in one G-d is the core belief in Judaism, and it is this that the messianics abjure through their acceptance of Christ as a divine Messiah. |
