Islam, Christianity and Judaism.
These three religions are very closely related to one another, and they even believe in the same God and the same Prophets. But how well do we know each other? I myself am a Muslim, and I didn't know until about five years ago that as Muslims, we had to believe in Jesus as a Prophet of God, not a son of God or his reincarnate. But I still don't know much about Christianity or Judaism, and I would really like to find out about them. So, post the similarities and differences between the three religions and find out more about them.

We don't believe in the same God, what are you talking about?
|
Actually, we do, just in different ways. Christians believe in The Father,The Son and The Holy Spirit, while Muslims just believe in God alone. Jews do the same, but they believe that another prophet, whose Arabic name is Uzair, is the son of God. So we believe in the same God, but in different ways. Otherwise, we wouldn't have the same prophets. We believe in Jesus, Moses, Abraham, Jonah and all of them. So, yes, we do believe in the same God.

The three religions actually do have the same base and background but there are major differences and thats where Gaga got that from.

I said that we all believe in the same God, but its our idea of how to believe in God that makes us different. Like I said, we believe in the same Prophets, and God tells Muslims in the Qur'an to believe in the other books, like the Bible, the Torah and the Psalms. So, we do believe in the same God. |

Well, yes. It's true. The sad thing is people in the US are led to believe that Islam is well to put it mildly "bad."
More people should be aware of this similarity and theological root since it means that about half of the World's population believe in the same God...=/ |
I agree with gaga, like I said in a older post all off the religions are so a like but yet so different, like Þór and Hercules, Seifur and Óðin, Urður, Verðandi og Skuld and the three witches of faith,
All religion so that the end of the world will happen, in ástrú it's called Ragnarrök, and after that life will start over, it's a circle just like in Budishm, All these religions are so a like so there must be some truth in it, because the religion in the old days were all in different parts of the world yet they are so alike so there must be some truth. Mount Olimpush Ásgarður, and Gaga is right there is always one prime ruler: God, Óðin, Seifur and the others. |

The faiths have the same origin, similar beliefs, customs and practices due to developing in the same region and from one another, but that doesn't mean that they share the same God. That's not even relevant when you consider the differences. |
We, the Christians, Jews, and Muslims do all believe on the same God. And what's this about Christianity being polytheistic? o_0. We aren't. The trinity is basically one God with three bodies if I'm remembering correctly.
|
Christianity isn't polytheistic, I know. But it'd certainly seem that way to other religions.
|
Hey! To Myself im a Muslim! There is also another Religion Called Hindusim That Only in India. They Believe that theres many god. And when someone die. they burn the dead Person.
to me as a Muslim. I Believe that theres only 1 God |

Hey, don't get flaming other religions, people. Jews have more in common with Muslims than Christians do, then again, they actually follow their religion better than Christians do. Apparently, Christians, Jews and Muslims are not allowed to eat the meat of a pig. A long time ago, Jews were being persecuted, and when they were pretending to be Christians to get out of persecution, the Christians began to eat pork to differentiate themselves from the Jews. The Jews would not eat pork.
That's why we have Christians eating pork while Muslims and Jews don't. And to answer ray's comments, we do believe that the Christians and Jews believe in God, but they associate partners with him. We still believe that you share the belief of one God, but you have different ideas of how to worship him. We never said you are polytheists, just that you made claims that God has a son. Now, if you think that these three religions believe in different Gods, how did Christianity and Judaism get into the Qur'an? Aren't they totally different religions? I think not. They have the same roots, but the Bible, the Torah and the Psalms were changed, and parts of them were lost. And furthermore, how could all three religions have almost all the Prophets of God associated with them? Sure, Judaism rejects Jesus ad Mohammed, while Christianity rejects Mohammed, but before those two, we all share the belief of the Prophets. Also, the Prophet Abraham built the Ka'bah, the oldest mosque in the world. That must mean that he was a believer in God. And if he was the ancestor of all the Prophets to come, then they must've been believing in the same God as he did. I think of Christianity as an 'upgrade' of Judaism. After all, Jesus was sent to the Jews to establish their religion when they were swerving to evil. And when the rest of the world began to go wrong, the Prophet Muhammad attempted to change it. He did succeed in changing the Arabs from cold-hearted barbarians to real humans with plenty of decency in their hearts. So, Islam was esssentially an 'upgrade' to Christianity. It was brought to the world. If you were already a Christian at the time, you should've been racing to Islam. The mere similarity of the prophet Jesus (Arabic: Isa) should've had Christians converting to Islam on the double. After all, it was a change for the better. So, I think we should begin to highlight the similarities between the three religions now. |

Jews cant eat pig? I didnt know that... Even though were all connected in some way, we still happen to fight all the time. (People in my school call Muslims Hindu! I am going to give them a piece of my mind. Racists!*Spits*) |
Yes the consumption of pork is such a major issue >.>
Hey I know we're not polytheists, but I know well and true that you do not believe that Jesus is divine, so our beliefs are at least incompatible there. The trinity is more than just "God with partners", and since Judaism or Islam doesn't believe in a holy trinity, then our God is different. Um yeah. Of course Christianity follows Judaism. Those who practice the faith believe that Jesus is the messiah foretold by the Jewish prophets. Quote:
Frankly I want to know why you're so insistent on this? Is it because you think ~if everyone is the same then we can all be friends~? |
^To much to handle at once. >___>
Anyway, I heard (and its probably wrong) that one day, these groups will clash. True or False? |
Umm...

As For the Trinity. It was only the Council of Nicaea which reconciled the various Christian beliefs under Emperor Constantine who established it. If you check out things before the Council of Nicaea, Christianities belief's was very diverse. =/ Yes Christianity would appear as polytheistic, but Christians would argue that the Trinity is the same God of Islam and Judaism. As for the reason, I still can't understand. I don't have the time to research.D= |
They will clash, actually. There will be a final all-out clash between Islam and the rest of the world. One of the signs of the Day of Judgment. The Day of Judgment is the day when everyone will be judged for what they have done on Earth, according to Islamic teachings. Forewarnings of the day are known as signs.

I'm a Christian, we don't believe in the same God, we have different Gods
