Some Jewish people, such as Messianic Jews, believe in both the OT, and the NT that Jesus revealed to humanity. They still keep their Jewish religious and cultural traditions, while believing in the New Testament. However, most Jewish people reject Jesus and view him as a false prophet, deny what the New Testament says about the nature of God (such as the Holy Spirit and the Trinity-which are all implied in the Torah, which is both the Christian and Jewish Old Testament.)
Even though the OT (the Torah) speaks of Jesus being the coming Messiah to pay the price for the sins of humanity, many Jews not only reject Jesus being the Messiah, but they reject the doctrine of the Messiah being God in the flesh who dies for the sins of the world. They view the Messiah as a political figure, a doctrine not in the Bible. They dont just believe in the Old Testament-they also believe in extrabibical writings like the Talmud and the writings and traditions of rabbis, etc. The Jewish Talmud contains writings of hatred against Jesus, the God that Christians worship.
Moses and Abraham and the other OT people didnt know directly about the Holy Spirit, the Trinity, or Jesus the Messiah dying for their sins, but they didnt deny it after it was revealed to them, like most Jews do now.
Here is the reason some people view the God of Judaism as the same as the God of Christianity. Mohler says Jews worship different God
Yes, Jews believe in the Old Testament, but Muslims also believe in Adam and Even, Noah, King David, Solomon, and the other OT prophets, etc.
The Jewish OT, is of course, much more similar to the Christian OT than what Islam believes. The Jewish OT is part of God's revelation to humanity, while the Islamic belief of Judeo Christian OT prophets is simply Mohammad copying and pasting stories from the Bible, changing it a bit (Islam believes extrabibical things like Abraham building religious monuments in Arabia, among many other things). That's what makes the topic of this thread a bit tricky. Jews dont just believe in the same OT prophets Christians believe in-they also believe in the Old Testament, which is God's revelation to humanity. But they also deny the other half of God's revelation to humanity-and even key doctrines relating to God, which the OT mentions.

___Mohler's assessment that Muslims worship a different God than Christians is not likely to draw protest from Baptists, but his distinction between the God of Judaism and Christianity could. Many Baptists--conservatives and moderates alike--see Christianity as a fulfillment or extension of Judaism and have sought to build bridges between the two religions.
