The Christian God and the Jewish God of the Old Testament are indeed the same God, and He is Jesus Christ, the Messiah, the Savior of mankind, who was foretold from the beginning of creation. He is the seed spoken of in Genesis 3 who would crush the serpent's head. He is the Angel of the Lord who spoke to Abraham and promised the birth of Isaac. He is whom Jacob wrestled with before Jacob was known as Israel. He is the LORD of David written about throughout the Psalms. He is the savior foretold in Isaiah 9 and Isaiah 53 and 54, and many, many other parts of the Old Testament. Christ is the fulfillment of the Old Testament scripture (Matthew 5:17) and the final revelation of God to all of mankind. (Hebrews 1) Jesus said to the Jewish leaders of His day, "You search the Scriptures (the Old Testament) because you think that in them you have eternal life; and it is they that bear witness about me." (John 5:39). Those who truly followed God in the Old Testament were looking forward in faith (this is the entire chapter of Hebrews 11) to the coming of Christ, and they would have recognized the Messiah when he came. Indeed, Christ said of Abraham, "Your father Abraham rejoiced that he would see my day. He saw it and was glad.” (John 8:56) Abraham knew in faith that God and Christ were one and the same, because Christ was promised to Abraham as the blessing to the whole world through Isaac. So yes, Christians and Old Testament Jews worship the same eternal God, who is Jesus Christ. But those Jews who rejected and now reject Christ (or anyone else) do not worship the same God as Christians (or Muslims). You can have it no other way. Jesus Christ is God. If Christ is God (which He showed by his many miracles and His resurrection), how can you reject Him and say you'll find your own pathway to God? It makes no logical sense. If you don't want to believe Christ is God, I suppose that's your prerogative, but there's no coherent way you can reject the exclusive claims of Christ to His own divinity and say there are other ways to come to know God than just through Jesus Christ. If I rejected knowing you, there's no other way to get to know you. Same with God.[/quote]
