Judaism, Christianity, and Islam

Judaism being the oldest out of these three dominant religions was developed in the “third millennium BCE” (130). Canaan is where the Hebrews first prospered, until around 1500 BCE. At this time a famine struck, and influenced the Jewish people to move to Egypt. Egypt was lead by the Hyksos, which shared languages and cultural beliefs with the Hebrews. In Egypt “the Hebrews thrived over the next few centuries, until the Egyptian overthrew the Hyksos and enslaved the Hebrews” (130). At that time Moses (a man lead by God), rallied the Hebrews and helped them escape the slavery they endured in Egypt.

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.

Two of the three major world religions is Judaism and Christianity. They are two of the most influential world religions in history. Each religion has its own characteristics. When comparing these two religions, they’re both very different, but also very similar.

Between the 3 of the religions, Christianity, Judaism, and Islam are all known to be monotheistic which means they all believe in only one god. As for each of them they all believe that they’re “God” is the origin and source of all that exists. In the religious views of the Jews, each of them believes that there is to be one God who cannot be made up of parts. Muslims believe in an “invisible God,” a god to be intensely feared through his supremacy. This God was not able to have children in which to the Muslims he is described as an “Ultimate God.” Christians hold fast to the trinity of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. To Christians, God gave exposure of himself through the body of Jesus Christ, the man who was considered to be incarnated from God. Although each of the religions has their own founders,

This week our class has been learning about three major monotheistic religions. Judaism, Christianity, and Islam have a lot of things in common with each other, but they also have their differences. So I am going to tell you what those differences are, and also what they have that is alike. So get ready to learn about the religions that pretty much take over the world.

Although Christianity, Islam and Judaism are all religions that grew from the same central idea of one divine god named Abraham in the general time zone of 2500 BC, and in the holy city of Jerusalem, they are all very different from each other. Christianity, Islam and Judaism are all similar religions in some ways but are also very different from each other in other ways.

Judaism, Christianity, and Islam are three of the most well known and most influential religions in the world today. There are many similarities among these religions. All three religions originated in the Middle East tracing their history back to Abraham. Each of these religions believes that there is only one god therefore they are all considered to be a monotheistic religion. Another important similarity is the belief that their god created everything and that it is possible to have an individual and personal relationship with him.

World today shares many religions and beliefs with tracing back to different historical events, however, three most important monotheistic religions known as the Abrahamic religions share remarkably similarities and could be trace through similar historical events. They are known as Christianity, Islam and Judaism.

Christianity and Islam both have deep roots in Judaism. Therefore, they do share the equal amount of similarities as well as differences with Judaism. One of the most common belief among the three religions is to believe in one God as a creator of the universe. On the other hand, each religion complies with its laws in different Holy books. The Jews follow the teachings of the Torah and call their God as Yahweh. The Christians refer to the Bible (also called the New Testament) as their Word of God, and believe in the Trinity

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.

Christianity, Islam, and Judaism are called the Abraham religions. They share common history and traditions, a strong faith that there is one God, a firm belief in revelation and prophets, among other things. However,

Christianity, Judaism and Islamic have many difference and similarities between them. The three top things they all have in common is Supreme Being, Person of Jesus Christ, Ethics, and life after death, they all believe that when you die you go to heaven or hell. but even though they all believe in that, they believe in different ways of getting to heaven and how to get to hell. Christianity began in 33 CE and was created out of the religion of Judaism. Christianity was founded on the life, and teaching of Jesus Christ and the people who follow his belief are “Christians”. Judaism began in 7th century BCE and was founded in the Middle East. Many Jews believe that Abraham was seen as the father of the Jews and Moses was the founder of Judaism.

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.

Islam comes from an Arabic word (Salam) meaning peace, and that is exactly what this religion is all about. In Islam, ultimate reality is Allah (God); it is an Abrahamic religion as like Christianity and Judaism, and represents the third model of ultimate reality. Islam, Christianity, and Judaism are the religions of the Book. The profession of Islam says: “I bear witness that there is no God worthy of worship except Allah and I bear witness that Muhammad is his servant and messenger.” This is called Shahada; saying it and meaning with praying to Allah 5 times a day, is what makes one a Muslim. When one converts to Islam from any other religion, they must say this Shahada in order to become a Muslim. The meaning of it is that Allah is the only God and that you will not worship anyone or anything but Him. Nor will you believe that anyone or anything will take his place. He does not have a father, mother, or any kids. He was not bred and does not breed. No one knows what God looks like but God knows how everyone looks like. He created us from clay, and made us the way we are. He built our strong bodies in such an extravagant way and can destroy our bodies any day. He gives us life and at the same time can take it away. God is watching over us at all times no matter where we are or what we are doing; God is always watching and hearing. God knows the future; He made the future. When God gave you life he put out your whole life; you have a destiny that you cannot change. He

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.
