Differences Between The Three Monotheistic Religions
All three of the monotheistic religions are very distinct in their differences. In Christianity, Jesus was the son of God. This is very different compared to Islam and Judaism. Christians also believe that if you have sinned in your life too much and not pleaded for forgiveness, you will go to hell. With that said, another unique difference is that they believe that the prophet Jesus was the messiah. However, when it comes to Judaism, they believe that the messiah will come in the future. They don’t believe in the resurrection of Jesus because they don’t believe him to be a prophet of God. Jews have a set of dietary laws (kashrut) comprising of permitted and forbidden animals. Islam is also fairly different compared to Judaism and Christianity.

    Compare And Contrast Out Line: Judaism And Christianity

    Although these religions are in constant dispute with one another, they have more in common than most people know about. Both of these religions trace the genealogy of their beliefs, and the foundation of their beliefs back to Abraham. He is their physical common denominator. Both Judaism and Christianity tell the story of Abraham. During a time when the majority of society was worshipping many gods, Abraham believed that he had heard the voice of the one true living God; who call Abraham to worship Him and Him alone. That is why Abraham is considered by theologians and scholars in Judaism and Christianity to be the father of monotheism; thus the next common denominator between the two religions, the belief in one true and more importantly living God. According to http://www.essortment.com/all/callabraham_rssf.htm Abraham was 75 when he first heard the voice of God. According to www.jewfaq.org/origins.htm he was born in 1800 BC, if there information is correct this would roughly place the start of monotheism at about 1725…

    Jewish Monotheistic Religions

    Judaism is the oldest of the monotheistic religions, and its history is heavily connected to the history of the Jewish people themselves. Its story begins with the original agreement made between Abraham and God, circa 1900 BCE, when Abraham was called to leave his home in Ur and migrate to Cannan (later known as Palestine and Israel), a land God promised to give to his descendants. The second and chief agreement was made 450 years later when Moses led the Jews out of slavery in Egypt (the exodus) back to the lands of Canaan. At Mt Horeb (Sinai), God gave the Jewish people the 10 Commandants and other rules to live by (contained in the Torah, the first five books of the Bible), marking the beginning of Judaism as a structured religion. Jewish civilisation after the mass migration thrived in the kingdoms of Israel and Judah, initially headed by effective lords like Saul, David and Solomon, who built the first great temple in Jerusalem.…
