Three Most Popular Monotheistic Religions

Jesus was the son of God, who was created by God and the second person within the trinity. God is viewed as the father, the son, and the holy spirit, according to the Christian worldview. Jesus was created from God planting a seed in Virgin Mary. Jesus was thus born to spread the word about God and all the gospel. Jesus lived a life as a human as all of us do now. He experienced a lot of things we as human’s experience. Jesus sacrificed himself for our sins where he died on the cross. Jesus is important to the Christian worldview because he is the ultimate reason we are who we are today. “God is both holy and just, so although he created humanity to be immortal, he could not accept them into his holy kingdom in their sinful state (Lecture 5). After Jesus sacrificed himself on the cross, this served as redemption and it was then that god allowed them into the

For example, Christians think that Jesus was given to Mary by God while she was a virgin, therefore he was a kind of miracle child. This, however, was rendered false by Jews studying the original hebrew text. Rabbi Michael Skobac states: “Isaiah 7:14 is describing an "alma" as giving birth. The word ‘alma’ has always meant a young woman, but Christian theologians came centuries later and translated it as ‘virgin’” (Jews for Judaism, 2004, par. 18). Also, the crucifiction of Jesus, according to Judaism, is mistranslated, along with the “suffering servant”. Lastly, the importance of Jesus in Judaism and Christianity are very different. In Judaism, it is regarded that “the reality is that Judaism doesn't regard Jesus as particularly important. He's not a big subject” (Jared Klinghoffer, 2005, par.3). The fact that Jews don’t view Jesus as the Messiah, plays an important role in the identity of Judaism. In Christianity, though, people believe that Jesus is very important, and the need to obey his wishes and fulfill his needs are great. In Fact, Christians believe in Jesus for about six main reasons: “Christ Came into the world (to reconcile humans), Christ brings Hope, Christ will Return again to the Earth,Christ founded an Institution (The Church), Christ understands human Suffering, Christ enables men and women to Triumph over sin” (2014, p.6). Christians love Jesus because he

Christianity, Judaism, and Islam all have similar origins, development, beliefs, and sacred texts. Contrary to popular belief all three of these religions share more common ground than one would think. The differences are present of course, but the similarities help one understand where all three were derived from and why. All of the religions share the common ground as to the knowledge of Jesus Christ, the belief of monotheism, and “ethical standards required social justice for individuals and for the community” (144). Judaism is the oldest religion out of the three, then falls Christianity, and lastly Islam.

On the surface, Islam and Christianity appear to have very little in common, however, as you get deeper into areas such as rituals, beliefs, ethics, founders, and sacred objects, the two show strong mutual similarities, particularly in the fundamental areas, while being totally different.

The Middle East is home to the creation of so many different cultures and religions. It is the home to the most prominent monotheistic faiths of this lifetime. Those faiths are Christianity, essentially Catholicism, and Islam. They do not only share a similar origin, but share the same ancestors and stories of prophets and people. There is a connection between the profound values of truth, love, and mercy that Catholics and Muslims hold dear. Although there are a great many commonalities between Catholicism and Islam, it is important to note the key foundations that make both religions special.

Jesus Christ is the central figure of Christianity, the only way of salvation and the second person of the Trinity. (Funk & Wagnalls, 2015) The Gospels Matthew and Luke introduce the birth and childhood of God’s one and only Son, Jesus. His story began when the Angel Gabriel visited His virgin mother, announcing that she would give birth to a son, and that she was to call Him Jesus, for He would be called the Son of God. (Luke 1:30-35) The incarnation of the Messiah, was the Word
