According to Judaism, Jesus is not the promised Moshiach.
According to Christianity, Judaism misunderstood God’s law and misidentified the nature of the Messiah.
So what?
According to the Roman Catholic Church, all Protestants were once heretics, lost outside the true Church, until Vatican II began softening the language.
To this day, many Southern Baptists consider Pentecostal practices dangerously unbiblical, even bordering on paganism.
Some Messianic Jews reject the Trinity.
Some Jews reject the Talmud altogether.
Calvinists believe Arminians preach a false gospel.
Orthodox Jews see Reconstructionist Jews as heretics.
Just because someone shares your label, Jew or Christian, doesn’t mean they’re closer to you than someone who doesn’t.
Sometimes, the deeper divide exists within the label, not across it.
What truly matters, especially in the public square, is this:
Do we believe that God is good, and that His goodness must be pursued and manifested in the world?
Both Jews and Christians answer that with a resounding yes.
I’m not talking about soteriology here.
What I’m talking about is what shapes the world we live in, the laws we make, the culture we build, the values we defend.
And on that level, Judaism and Christianity stand shoulder to shoulder.
We believe in human dignity because man is made in the image of God. We believe in truth because God is not a liar.
We believe in justice because God is just.
We believe in mercy because God is merciful.
These shared convictions have built civilizations, shaped legal systems, inspired art and science, and sustained human rights movements across centuries.
This is why we’re fighting Islamic expansion, not because we hate Muslims, but because Islam introduces an entirely different moral structure built on a different view of God.
Islam does not see God as a loving Father, but as an unapproachable master.
It does not see humans as bearers of divine image, but as subjects of law whose worth depends on religious affiliation.
It does not honor freedom of conscience, or the concept of grace, or the sanctity of individual thought.
It brings with it a system of conquest, not covenant. Fear, not relationship. Power, not redemption.
I don’t care if someone calls themselves a Christian if their God does not resemble the God of Scripture.
And I don’t automatically see a Jew as “other” because he doesn’t accept Jesus as the jewish Moshiach.
I care whether we are worshiping the God whose character is good, whose justice is righteous, and whose mercy lifts the broken.
Because that God builds civilizations.
And the god of Islam dismantles them.
