It also depends on whether you believe God would send a son, born as a peasant to live among peasants and raise them to the same status as every human on earth who accepts God - and would in essence live among us to save us

If God Sending His Son to come to earth is a test of similarity, then how can we as Christians say that we worship the same God as the Jews who REFUSE to recognize this ?

Yet, inspite of this dissimilarity, I do not believe Christians would say that Jews worship a different God.

I would say that the Jews worship a pagan diety named Jehovah.
If one doesn't have the Son; one doesn't have the Father.

I don't know any Jews who think Jesus is the son of God, and would worship Jesus.

It is a fundamental for a Christian to believe Jesus is the son of God.

The Muslims don't believe that, and neither do the Jews, so different Gods are involved. - tom

I said a God who would do so, not a God who did.

The Jews fully expect a Messiah to come from our God, the gentiles believe he already did.

The muslims piously assure us they worship the same God, but wriggle out of the question of whether they believe "the prophet Jesus" to have been a liar, a con man, or mentally ill.

The Jews worship the God depicted in the same scriptures that Jesus himself read and interpreted. The New Testament is commentary on ther Torah, a prefection of it. The Koran is supposed to replace both and to give a picture of God that is at odds with both. Mormonism is somewhat like this, but gives much greater importance to Jesus.
