one of the differences, yes The Christians believe that Jesus was the Messiah, and the Jews do not. That he was a prophet, yes. I've never learned when/why they decided he had gone astray.
Also, Islam teaches that Jesus was born of a virgin ad was an important prophet, but that his followers were somehow turned from the true path.
So, Questions that need answering: 1) Jesus as prophet in Judaism, when did he go astray, and how does the faith deal with ordering a prophet executed? 2) Jesus as prophet in Islam, when were his followers turned astray, and how, ad by whom?

I'm trying a personal experiment: I'm being an optimist.... maybe flaming can be avoided, but I don't have the power to enforce the ban, so I can only hope other people TRY to be civil.
Usually my realist/cynical streak takes over... I'm by far not a good person, and I'm at a crossroads in my own faith, partially because I can't believe in what I don't understand. The whole faith thing is a challenge.
I do so much research in the vain hope that someday I'll understand something. I currently identify as Christian merely because that's what I was raised as, not particularly because its what I ascribe to. I perhaps should have put down No Clue.
I'm personally seeking something to believe in, and bits and pieces from different religions make sense to me. I don't like to pick and choose cafeteria-style, it seems inconsistent to me somehow. I hate being told to "Take it on faith."
Who knows, maybe this thread will answer some of my questions and help me personally. Plus, even if it doesn't, academically it can't hurt to talk to practitioners of different religions. I like knowing things.
