well many denominations believe that. the whole thing is that "everyone is a sinner by nature and by choice."
the difference between the 2 is that christians believe Jesus was the masiah who brought salvation to the world and Jews do not. also note christianity doesn't take anything away from the jewish faith, it just adds on. hygene laws are replaced with up to date hygene methods, and the sabbath is not as closely followed by christians (if followed at all) but all the laws still apply. notice Jesus added onto the laws by saying things like it is said do not murder but i say unto you if you hate your brother (means neighbor) you have already committed murder.
Oh! thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand
Between their loved home and the war's desolation!
Blest with victory and peace, may the heav'n rescued land
Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation.
Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,
And this be our motto: "In God is our trust."
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!
-4th verse of the american national anthem
