Hinduism, Christianity, Judaism, And Islam

Throughout the course we have established that all religions are not one and the same. Major religions such as Judaism, Islam, and Christianity share some similarities. All three religions believe in God, have a Holy book, and each have a central prayer. Judaism has the Shema, Islam has the Shahada, and Christianity has the “Lord’s Prayer”. Ultimately, each prayer is a reaffirmation of faith and the fundamental values of their religion.

Often times in our society we take one another for granted and treat each other with cruelty. Some of the times our best communication with one another is constant war, fights, and brutality to one another. Religion on the other gives us the opportunity to set aside our differences and come together as one. In order to do that we must believe religion works and set all concerns to the god or gods. Religions have become beneficial because it make things certain but also to put our uncertainty to the superior. Which means god will provide. Another way you or others can see this being affective is putting trust in the god and god’s. Back in the Early Middle Ages moving to the Dark Middle Ages, life was brutal and not choosing what religion you belong to makes it even harder for the individual. You had to believe and set aside your difference with religion.

The three different Monotheistic religions Christianity, Judaism, and Islam have gradually developed into exceedingly divergent faiths. They vary in many concepts and differ from each other in a multitude of ways, such as all having different characteristics/customs, different beliefs, and different origins.

All three religions believe and worship the same God but they do it in different ways. Judaism happens to be the oldest religion today but they don’t have an official creed. They aim to teach you about God, the Messiah, human beings, and the universe which makes Jewish beliefs very important to them. But it is important to understand that being Jewish is more of a race and culture than it is a religion. Some Jewish people may have no interest in Judaism. Judaism has some similar beliefs with Islam and Christianity but they are more different then similar. Islam is the second largest religion in the world and they have 1.2 billion adherents. All of the adherents know about the “five pillars “of Islam which represent the framework for a responsible and good life. Islamic people believe that they are here on earth as God’s servants to create a moral social order. They believe it’s all a test for humans to prove if they can choose from right and wrong and make good decisions. There isn’t a certain sin not to do, it’s just trying not to fall under the temptations of all the bad things in life and God will be with you as long as you are attempting to be good and stay on the correct path. Christianity shows their faith differently than the other 2, they like to do baptisms when you are a baby or when you become Christian and become a believer. They like to have Sunday gatherings and read scriptures from the bible and have group prayer and singing.

Hinduism, Buddhism Jainism, and Sikhism are all Eastern religions with similar philosophical beliefs. In Hinduism you embrace a great diversity of different beliefs, a fact that can be easy confusing to western religions which are accustomed to creeds, confessions, and carefully-worded beliefs of statements. In Hinduism you can believe a wide variety of things about God, and the universe. There are some beliefs common to nearly all forms of Hinduism that can be shown, and these common beliefs are generally regarded as boundaries outside which they are considered to be heresy or non-Hindu religion. The

Many times people got into fights, end friendships, and become even violence because of some disagreements on matters of faith or religious. Sometimes knowing more about other religions might help people avoid conflicts between each other, and eventually might lead to living together peacefully. The most famous three religions -People of the book- are Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. Judaism is the oldest organized religion in the world; however, it only has 14 million followers around the world most of them centered in North America and Israel. Christianity, came after Judaism and have two billion believers around the world, and that’s about one third of the world population. Finally, Islam came after Judaism and Christianity. Even though Islam came afterwards, it spread quickly around the world, and today there are around 1.3 billion Muslims around the world. Although those three religions might look very different on the outside, they have much more in common than people might think.

Religion is a very intellectual topic in the world. There are so many different types of religions such as Christianity, Hinduism, Buddhism, Judaism, Islam, Jainism, and many more. So many people in this world believe in numerous different religions. Some believe in one god, and others believe in hundreds. Hinduism and Buddhism are popular religions that are practiced around the world.

Those who are raised within one religious tradition may find it difficult to understand the traditions of another religion. It is not until one is educated in the basics of the other major world religions, that it is possible to see the many similarities between them. Just as there are many similarities between the countries culturally, the major religions share more things than they are different. In viewing Hinduism, Buddhism, and Sikhism with an open mind, it is easy to see the differences, similarities and ideals that make these religions as widespread as they are.

The traditions of Islam, Christianity, and Judaism do have their teachings and ideas about justice and charity that are very similar but also distinctive in some ways. Each of these religious traditions feature the same One God, who is said to have created the entire Universe, and everything in it, and is omniscient and omnipotent, and has chosen to intervene in life’s history on Earth as well as humanity’s history. In the traditions of Judaism, God chose the offspring of the original Patriarch, Abraham, who would provide this Earth with God’s Chosen, Blessed People, the Jews or Hebrews, who would be given special status and enjoy a special covenant with God. This covenant included the Promised Land and the Torah, which is the holy book of Judaism. All the laws, instructions, and guidelines for God’s vision for His Chosen People is contained in the Torah. Justice is primarily originated and served by God in Heaven. He is the final arbiter and final judge on humans. As the Judaic tradition reveals, at times, God gets very angry with the Chosen People, the Jews, and these Jews are severely punished and horrifically brutalized as evident in the Torah version of the Great Flood as well as the wanderings in the Sinai Desert for forty years due to lack of faith. Justice is served by God in a punishing, cruel way at times in order to teach the Jews harsh lessons about disobedience and unfaithfulness. On the other hand, when the Jews display strong faith and love for

A: Hinduism is unique among the major world religions because the religion doesn’t have a single founder, a single theology, or agreement on its origins.

Throughout the class we have learned about four different religions. Judaism, Hinduism, Buddhism and Christianity are all very complex and interesting religions, but all of them are very different from each other. Hinduism and Buddhism are very similar while Christianity and Judaism are similar. The two with the most differences would be Buddhism and Christianity. There are many differences between the two religions, but when a person puts them side by side there are three major differences that pop out at them. Those differences are, who each religion worships, the sacred text of the two, and finally the idea of life after death or the afterlife. Yes, almost all religions have commonalties between them, like prayer or meditation, or even the idea of a human messiah sent by their deity, but at the core of these two religions are very different from each other. In order to understand these differences in greater detail one must look at the origins of the two religions and look at the little differences before you can explore the three larger ones.

Religion plays a huge role in today’s day and age. In fact, religion has been of huge importance since cavemen were, well, cavemen. Religion is the factor that keeps many people going in life but at the same time, the same reason our world has so many problems and has been torn apart. Through studying the main tenets in call, Judaism, Christianity and Islam were analyzed for weeks. Christianity and Islam take the cake for the two biggest religions in today’s population however, Judaism plays the smallest role. These three religions, although different, are easily able to be compared and contrasted because of all of the history and information we have attained towards these separate beliefs. I think it is crucial that these religions be studied by people all around the world so that we can be understanding towards other religions, not just our own. Through religious beliefs, things we can learn through teachings and comparing and contrasting we can learn more about Judaism, Islam and Christianity.

Monotheistic religions can range from all types of extremities from around the world. Monotheistic religion refers to the belief in a single, universal God. Common examples are Judaism, Christianity, and Islam (answers.com). There are different types ranging from different regions yet; some could be so similar at the same time in their teachings. Islamic and Christianity religions are two of the biggest religions in the world and are so different and in some aspects the same. The two religions also share some rivalries that have been displayed in the media because of the view that Islam has on the Christianity culture. I will be further exploring the beginnings of both religions and the teachings that it has passed down to generations. First of all, I will be discussing Christianity and its humble beginnings. I will explore the views of anthropologist and the teachings of this religion. Second, I will be exploring the Islamic religion and its humble beginnings. I will be discussing anthropologist points of view of the Islamic religion and its teachings. Finally, I will be closing with the differences that these two religions have and how it has affected people around the world with the disagreements that both sides have in their style of teachings and its implemented actions that one has to follow.

These religions all share one aspect of not being understood. They are either viewed as devil activities or seen as curses like the Haitians. The atheist community was seen negatively, as if they turned to the devil just as the Maria Lionza or spiritualist who feels they are not understood by other cultures even though it has found its way into popular religions like Catholicism. In some way these five religions have been viewed as differently and hurt in a way either by criticism or the earthquake that hit Haiti. Because of this they are automatically related to the devil’s work in some fashion yet they all relate to positive aspects, for example, healing and cleansing.

God to the people of the big three monotheist religions (Judaism, Christianity, Islam) see god as an all-knowing, all-seeing, and all-powerful being.
