2. Jews recognize christianity but as something inferior, and that's pretty much all they recognize

1. Muslim's recognize Jews as "the peaople of the book" and have actually been, historically, some of the more benevolent rulers, where Jews are concerned, current fanatical Arab rejectionism not-withstanding.
2. Jews don't recognize Christianity as anything diferent from any other non-Jewish belief system. It isn't "inferior" it is just "else".

There isn't even a well-defined "Hell" in a properly-translated Bible; King James really fucked that book up good.

There's no Devil in the Jewish bible either.
When it comes to christianity, that has always been one of my biggest confusions, after Jesus. If God is supposed to be both benevolent and all powerful, then how could the devil exist? Either God isn't all powerful, god isn't so benevolent, of the devil is just as powerful as god, meaning that there are multiple gods in the Christian religion.
It's just one of those things I could never parse.
Jackie Blue:
In the New Testament, God isn't a chap in the sky with a beard; he is a way of thinking/living that was personified by a radical anti-establishment nutjob, so looking to the actual New Testament isn't going to give you any easy answers about the God of the Old Testament, who allegedly said and did some really wacky things, like that it's okay to sell your excess daughters off and that incest is totally cool, but jerking off is a sin punishable by death.
