Jewish beliefs versus Christianity in General:

1)Man is born as a pure soul and can return to his creator the same. Christians say man is born with the Original Sin of Adam and must be saved from sin by the sacrifice of Jesus.

2)Judaism allows for evolution as the way God created the Universe. Many Christians believe God created everything as described in Genesis.

3)Jewish belief suggests the Garden of Eden story is a parable. Christians believe it was literal and actually happened.

4)The Messiah or Moshiach will come to establish God's Kingdom on Earth and he will be a man, not part of God. Christians believe Jesus the Son of God was the Messiah and came to sacrifice himself to placate God for man's Original Sin.

In order for Christianity to have basis from the founding religion of Judaism there must be errors the Jews made in interpreting God's will. As these beliefs go back to the origins or the Torah then the patriarchs must have incorrectly have understood God. Moses and those who wrote these books as well as the prophets must have incorrectly understood their relationship with Yahweh. This must be so in order to have Original Sin transferred to Adam's descendants instead of being born a pure soul. My challenge to Christian theists is where are these errors of understanding and why?

 

It looks to me like you're comparing fundy xians to moderate Jews.  Both religions have multiple interpretations.

(Joshua 10:12)It was nice of God to stop the sun for the Israelites, as no one wants to slaughter Amorites in the dark.
