Religion Of Christianity, Judaism, And The Existence Of The Bible

Monotheism: The basic definition of monotheism is the belief in one God. The opposite of polytheism, which is the belief in many Gods, who each serve a different purpose. However, for a monotheistic religion, the God is all-knowing, all-seeing and all-powerful; this God would be the sole creator and provider. There are three major religions associated with monotheism, Judaism, Christianity and Islam.

However, opinions vary from person to person. Some may believe in one God (theism), some may believe in many gods (polytheism), believe that the universe is God (pantheism) and the belief that there is no God (atheism). I do believe in only one God, and that he exists. Atheists have long argued on the existence of God, they have constantly asked the questions about the evidences and proofs of the existence of God. First of all, they deserve to be congratulated because they have shunned blindly accepting a faith; rather going on to a reason based on logic and evidence. How I would establish an argument would be based

Both Jews and Christians belief there is one god whose name is Jehovah, thus describing them as monotheistic religions. Furthermore, both believe in the same god. However,

The creation myths of these religions indicates that they are all monotheistic. In the Judeo-Christian account of creation, God created heaven and earth and separated the light from the darkness, on the first day . On the second day, He separated the waters from the sky. On the third day, He created the land and vegetation. On the fourth day he made the Sun, Moon and stars. On the fifth day He created the creatures of the seas and the birds. On the sixth day

In modern times when one thinks of Monotheism, the first religion that comes to mind is Christianity. But what is Monotheism? Monotheism is the belief that there is only one god. But is Christianity the first group of people to believe in one god? The answer is no, monotheism comes a long way. Zoroastrianism was the first monotheistic religion approximately 3500 years ago. The religion was founded by Prophet Zoroaster in ancient Iran. The second monotheistic religion known to man kind is Atenism founded by the Pharaoh Akhenaten. And the third Monotheistic religion is Judaism.

Jesus is the fulfillment of Judaic prophecies; he is the new Moses imparting the new Law of Love.

The context of this will be showing how Judaism and Christianity more similar than most people think. Three ways these two religions are the same are, both are monotheistic, how both share same holy city, and their beliefs to the “Good Life.”

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.

For many religions, there exists a thin line for the individual people balancing what their faith requires and influences of the outside world. Judaism is deeply rooted and rich with traditions, many of which are fundamental to the religion itself. Sometimes these cultural traditions appear to create difference and conflict with those outside the faith. Fortunately, to live in America means that we citizens of this nation by law are granted individual rights and liberties to conduct our lives as we see fit. The free exercise of religious is protected expressly under the first amendment, so long as they do not infringe on the rights and liberties of others. These rights extend to all races, ethnic groups, religions, and cultures in America, a protected melting pot of ways to live out our lives. Including the liberty to integrate and connect with a closed community, like Hasidic Judaism, which from the outside may appear alien.

The monotheistic belief of Judaism recognises that God is omnipotent, omnipresent and pure spirit. The concept of the oneness of God, is expressed through the Shema which is an affirmation of faith Jews proclaim, commencing with “Hear O Israel, the Lord is our God, the Lord is one.”- Deuteronomy 6:4. This

Judaism originated a very long time ago, it is a part of the Bronze Age Polytheistic Ancient Semitic religions. The Jewish calendar goes back more than 5000 years, most scholars date the beginning of the religion of the Israelites to the known founder, Abraham, whose life is generally dated around 2000 to 1800 B.C.E. Abraham came to believe that the universe was the works of a single creator, and taught this to other believers. Therefore, Judaism is the first recorded religion to advocate monotheism, meaning there is only one God. Both Christianity and Islam found some of their roots in Judaism, about 2,000 years after Abraham, Jesus was born into Judaism. Then after Jesus, Muhammad could trace his ancestry back to Abraham. Judaism has three essential parts the written Torah, the recognition of Israel, which are the descendants of Abraham, as uniquely holy people chosen by God, and also it is a requirement that Israel lives in accordance with God's laws as it’s said in the Torah.

There can not be hostility between Christians and Jews for multiple reasons. One reason being the fact that both groups study the Old Testament. However, Christians typically study the New Testament as well, unlike Jews. Within Judaism, the concept of a Messiah is heavily spoken. Judaism also contains different laws than Christianity.

The rise, development, and spread of monotheism (the belief in one God), is one of the most significant and fascinating dimensions of human civilization. The three major monotheistic faiths are Judaism, Christianity and Islam, these religions have spread to other kingdoms throughout the world by use of missionaries.

The Abrahamic religions, Judaism, Christianity, and Islam are the three key Western Religions that all emphasize monotheism, achieving peace though justice, God’s love and mercy, all three trace their lineage back to Abraham in some way, even though he was first mentioned in the Hebrew Bible. These three religions are very closely unified because they share many common beliefs and thoughts, and they all rely on holy books or scriptures as a life-guided tool. While these religions do have a lot of the same beliefs, some are conflicting, which is what makes them their own unique religions.

Judaism, which is made up of a few separate groups, was very common at the originating of Christianity. The common ground (shared beliefs) for these sects was the belief in One God and that this One God had made a covenant with the people of Israel. The foundation of this covenant was called “The Torah.” The Pharisees and Sadducees were the two main groups the Bible focuses on around the time of Jesus, along with the Zealots, the Hellenists, the Lawyers, and the Essenes, who we only read about in sources outside of the New Testament.
