Although these religions are in constant dispute with one another, they have more in common than most people know about. Both of these religions trace the genealogy of their beliefs, and the foundation of their beliefs back to Abraham. He is their physical common denominator. Both Judaism and Christianity tell the story of Abraham. During a time when the majority of society was worshipping many gods, Abraham believed that he had heard the voice of the one true living God; who call Abraham to worship Him and Him alone.

But how they are different is that there is no images in Jewish worship to avoid any possible form of idolatry and because they want to prevent temptation to worship something other than the ultimate reality. In Christianity there might not be images of God to say but there are many of Jesus the son and God is three persons: God the father, God the son, and God the holy spirit.
