Jesus: The Bible consists of the Old and New Testament. The Old Testament is the complete Hebrew Bible. The New Testament tells of the lessons and journey of Jesus Christ while on Earth.
Muhammad: The Qur’an is 144 chapters of my pure word. I sent the angel Gabriel to tell Muhammad and he did just that. There is no relation between the Qur’an and the Bible or Torah.
Moses: Judaism is similar to Christianity because our holy books consist of the same 39 books, the bible is just extended beyond those books. Also they were both descended from Isaac.
Jesus: Christianity is similar to both Islam and Judaism because we all developed around the same area

Moses: Judaism has three divisions: Reform, Conservative, and Orthodox. Each is divided by the ways they practice their faith.
Jesus: there are several divisions to Christianity but the major three are: Catholicism, Protestantism, and Eastern Orthodoxy. They are split due to practices and other beliefs, one example being the use of birth control.

Jesus: I am very happy with the spread of Christianity! 33% of the world follow me and my teachings. It spreads over 4.5 continents.
Muhammad: I am pleased with the spread of Islam. Although it is not as vast as Christianity, it has still spread

    The ‘Mishneh Torah’ consisted of fourteen books written in Hebrew in a style easily accessible to lay Jews. The ‘Mishneh Torah’ made Jewish law more relevant to the average Jew without extensive study of the Talmud. Many people from the rabbinic world felt threatened by the ‘Mishneh Torah’ because for the first time lay Jews would be able to understand the laws of Judaism without the assistance of the Rabbis. The fourteen books deal with belief in one God, Jewish ritual and civil laws for example blessings, circumcision, holy days, relationships, dietary laws and ethics. The ‘Mishneh Torah’ also deals with the interpretation of the notion of the Messiah. Although the ‘Mishneh Torah’ was an excellent source of spiritual knowledge and understanding for the Jewish community it also received a great deal of…

    The five books included in the Torah are, Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Deuteronomy, and numbers all serve for different purposes and all include different information. The Torah is equivalent to the Old Testament of the Bible. Judaism is solely dependent on structure from the Torah and take everything that is written as a teaching or an instruction. Judaism use to believe that the Torah was to be translated as law, meaning everything written in it had to be followed. The Torah’s primary work is to focus on “righteous living” for Jewish people, moreover there are texts that can vary depending on what sect you are in.…

The “Father of Nations”, Abraham, develops an undivided, and unwavering relation to God, contrasting with Moses, whose covenant began with doubt but progressed to become as faithful as that of Abraham. Each Israelite leader is his own, and one may come to conceive the idea that the differing relationships served a purpose in teaching the peoples of Israel and their future generations vital lessons in both faith and religious law.…
