War and terrorist bombings, attacks and crusades: these conflicts are all over three main regions whose religious text that hold a similar idea? The Bible, The Torah, and the Koran share similar ideas about religion; however, they seem so...antipode. If they are so similar, why not accept their differences and peacefully coexist? Humans always feel the need for their daemon to be on top; one alpha, one god. Christianity, Judaism and Islam pronounces that their “god” is supreme to all other gods of different religions; in some cases they even claim there is only one god. The Torah, the Bible and the Quran all share similar works and scriptures in their own religious texts. Monotheism is the belief that there is only one god; Christianity, Judaism and Islam all share that belief that their god is the only god. Islam’s “god” is allocated the name “Allah”;
“Allah” is a word that had been used before Islam was formed. Christianity and Judaism share the belief that Jesus was a real person; however, Christianity believes that Jesus is the Messiah but Judaism believes that he is not. All three of these religions believe that their god is the only god; which religion is right if there can be only one god? “Who among the gods is like you, lord?” this quote is found in the Torah and the Old Testament from the bible both in Exodus 15:11. Credence that there is only one god is a wide concept across the subject of the religion; of course, this is just a belief and manifesting the

Christians view Jesus Christ as the second the trinity who was born of the Virgin Mary. He was also known for being the reconcile man of God through his death as a sacrifice for the sin of all mankind.
Judaism, Islam, and Christianity are some of the religions that most individuals can relate to, being the three largest religions in the world. Like many religions they share many differences and also some similarities. One difference that these religions hold is their view of Jesus Christ. Similarities are surprisingly common to find among some religions because of the basis they put on one another. Some similarities between these religions include: belief of monotheism and the influence of Zoroastrianism had on each religion. Also another similarity carried out by these three religions would be the significance of Abraham. Some other differences include: religious texts and also how they approach God in prayer.

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,
In reviewing the scripture readings presented for this lesson, each religion has one intrinsic similarity; that is the belief in God. Where both Islam and Judaism view God as one entity, Christians believe in the Trinity (Father, Son and Holy Spirit), ("Islam, Judaism and," 2004-2013). Review of the scripture
Christianity, Judaism, and Islam are the three major religions in the world with fourteen million followers for Judaism, 2.1 billion for Christianity, and 1.5 billion for Islam.

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.

In order to see and understand their similarities, it is important to look back to the birth and rise of both religions.

Islam is a monotheistic faith centered around one God (Allah). It has many prophets that preach the same message of belief in one God. Muhammad was the last and greatest prophet and felt that since the people were worshipping many gods that they had forgotten the original message of the prophet Abraham – worship one God. Muhammad received messages throughout his life from God through the angel Gabriel, so he dedicated the rest of his life spreading the message that there was no other God but Allah and that Muslims should lead their lives in a way to please Allah.
Judaism as well as its offshoot and formation into the Christian religion both place great emphasis on the notion of their monotheistic God as revealed in the early scriptures. To them God has revealed Himself as the one Lord of all. Evident in the first Commandment that was
