Monotheistic Religion

The three most practiced monotheistic religions- Christianity, Judaism, and Islam- share a belief in one singular God. Each have many similarities -like believing in one God and following sacred texts- as well as differences, such as different holidays and rituals. Although these three religions share similarities, there are more differences between them. Christianity is a religion based on the life and teachings of Jesus Christ through the holy book called the Bible.

Originated in eastern Mediterranean throughout the life of Jesus Christ, in addition to it becoming the major religion of the Roman Empire by the end of the 4th century

Why Does God allow suffering? This question is probably as old as religion itself. It is a stumbling block for some of us, and for many more at given moments of tragedy. There are as many answers to this question as there are people who care to engage in theological dialogue. One understanding is that yes, God allows "bad" things to happen; God does not cause them to happen.

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.

Zoroastrianism on the other hand is a monotheistic religion, originating in Iran, and has evolved throughout the ages. With approximately 130,000 remaining followers. Zoroastrianism’s early stage, is presumed to have influenced Buddhism, and introduces beliefs of Gods and Devils that have been adopted by other religions such as Christianity, and Islam. The Zoroastrian gods represented elements, aspects of nature, and principles such as justice and obedience. These gods were called daevas meaning (“shining ones”), with higher ranking gods called Ahuras or (“Lords”) with the supreme god Ahura Mazda, being worshipped above all the other gods as the divine creator; through good thoughts, words, and deeds, like the Jainism ahimsa. Zoroastrians believed there was a cosmic battle between good and evil and to support good one must dedicate themselves as spiritual warriors for good.

This question had always been brought up throughout history; If there is a God, and He is all loving and powerful, why would He let there be suffering in the world? There are a few answers in which I think would answer this question, such as human’s free will, and God’s desire to use suffering to exercise and to teach people. As a Christian, I believe God created suffering to give us the freedom to choose to rely and to turn toward Him or to turn away from Him. In some sense, it is as if it was a test, if we believe in God, regardless of the suffering and pain, we will trust in Him to bring marked the end of the suffering for us.

Me: How are the basic beliefs of your faith similar to the other monotheistic faiths?

Christianity derives from the teachings of God’s son Jesus of Nazareth and his apostles who later became known as Jesus Christ. Being a Christian is living a very righteous life. Christianity is a monotheistic religion such as Islam and Judaism. “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have an eternal life.” This is a major factor in christian faith. This exact quote is not a belief for other religions but, it is known to be the foundation to have a great afterlife. It shows how only Christians believed in Jesus being God's son and in the holy trinity. In conclusion, Christians are to live in

This is considered a theodicy problem, and there are hundreds of different definitions, thoughts, and responses to this question. Our world has suffered great tragedies, just a few are the mass shootings at schools of children, the 9/11 attack on our nation, the multiple World Wars over the centuries. One of the problems that is argues over why God would allow these things to happen and lives be taken in such horrendous ways. That’s where the theodicy problem starts which defines as “a defense of God’s goodness and omnipotence in view of the existence of evil” (Webster, 1828).

One of the heaviest arguments against God’s existence is the problem of evil. The traditional conception of God is as omnipresent, omniscient and omnibenevolent. If this is true then God either can’t do anything about it, doesn’t know about it or doesn’t care about it. This then implies that God is either not all powerful as he can’t prevent the suffering, not all-knowing as he doesn’t know about the suffering, or not all good if he doesn’t care about the suffering. This challenges the concept of God being the greatest being in the universe. However, there are many different responses to the concept of evil, they may not be all satisfactory but they cast doubt on this argument. One of the responses challenging the problem of evil is that God did not create the evil in the world. A lot of the evil in the world only occurs

Of all the important events that helped develop Jewish Ethical Monotheism, I believe that the most crucial was the second covenant (in which God gave the holy book--or the 10 commandments--to Moses in order to complete their agreement.) God promised to protect and guide all of Moses’ descendents in exchange for all of them to follow and worship only him. The first commandment wouldn’t have been as crucial because it didn’t have any ethical aspect to it; it only described a monotheistic covenant.

There are many monotheistic theologies that feature an all-powerful transcendent god. Three of the most major monotheistic theologies include Judaism, Christianity and Islam. While the concept of religion can essentially be defined as just a set of beliefs enlisted upon a community or a large group of people, there are many aspects featured in these three religions that illustrate and emphasize on the notion of god, which strengthens an individual's belief and commitment in god. There are many religious similarities found in the teachings of the Torah, the Bible and The Holy Quran.

If one looks at the three major monotheistic religions, Judaism, Christianity and Islam, many differences present themselves. However, if you look past the differences, you see three religions based on the idea that there is one God who is more powerful than anything. These three religions, branching off from their core beliefs, have both similar and contrasting teachings. Using some of these sacred writings from each religion, we will examine the agreements and disagreements between these faiths.

Why do bad things happen to good people? If we have a God that is all powerful and has the ability to affect the world for the better, why does he allow evil to exist? This problem has been termed Theodicy. People for centuries have been trying to answer this question or at least to justify to existence of God when evil is allowed to prosper. A person could say that if God cannot remove the evil, then he is not omnipotent. You could also say that if God could remove the evil, but chooses not to, then he is not all good. Maybe God can remove the evil; however, he allows mankind to have free will in making the choice whether to do good or not. This may help to understand why people are allowed to do bad things, but

Religion is a combination of beliefs, ceremonies and set of rules used to follow god or group of gods. I myself belong from a monotheistic religion, known as Islam. Islam is second largest religion in the world. Islam is revealed through Mohammad as a prophet of god. Quran is the holy book of Islam. The Quran was first revealed to Prophet Mohammad, being a messenger of god he started telling those teachings to the people of Mecca and Madinah. After that, people started to convert to Islam. I always wanted to know that how Hinduism is a monotheistic religion because Hindus believe in so many gods. I also wanted to know that why Hindu temples have a bell at their entrance. That’s why I choose Hinduism as my experience project.
