Forgive my ignorance but out of curiosity...
The Jewish religion has the Mitzvah, the commandments given by God. Is the covenant to obey each commandment and if in failing to follow the commandment, to pay a sin sacrifice as recompense?
Is following the Mitzvah the only thing that is required by God per the covenant?
With Christianity, there is a concept of evil, temptation, Satan, the corrupted nature of man. We have Satan going about putting bad thoughts in your head to do bad things. Is there anything like this in Judaism? Any correlation to these Christian concepts.
Maybe Christianity and Judaism have more in common than I think but often I find, rightly or wrongly they actually have very little in common. Other than the New Testament where in Matthew where a lot of effort is made to make this connection between Judaism and Christianity I'd think they were totally different religions.
It was implied that Judaism was Christianity without Jesus as the Messiah when I was growing up a Christian. So it comes as a surprise as I start to see how dissimilar they are.
