If Christianity and Islam stem from Judiasm ?

Question

If Christianity and Islam stem from Judiasm then why is there all this commotion, dont they all stem from the same religeon ?

I see that most people dont seem to know enogh about these religeons to know that they all stemed from judiasm, i suggest a simple google search, instead of responding with dumb questions .

Answer 1

It's like this,
Christianity = Judaism 1.2
Islam = Judaism 2.0
They both have their own "improvements" and changes.

Answer 2

Common roots don't mean that they get along together.

Islam holds the Torah to be canonical. The Q'ran states that one may eat Camel. Judaism holds that Camel is 'unclean", not clean.

Islam holds the Gospels to be Canonical. It holds that Jesus was not the Messiah, but merely a Prophet. Christianity holds that Jesus is the Messiah, not a Prophet.

Thus, Islam, despite claiming that both the Torah, and the Gospels are canonical, does not adhere to what is written in them. This leads to a number of issues where Islam and Judaism, or Islam, and Christianity differ.

Christianity claims that the Messiah prophesied in the Tanakh, is Jesus. Judaism claims otherwise. This leads to number of disagreements between those two groups.

They do, in theory, share the same Covenant --- that of Noah.

That brings up Noachides.

Historically, Rabbinical Judaism has considered Noachides to be merely on the path towards full conversion as an Orthodox Jew.

Historically, Karaite Judaism has treated Noachides as a creation of Rabbinical Judaism, and yet another example of how Rabbinical Judaism consistently violates the Torah.

Noachides and Christianity take issue over whether or not Jesus was the Messiah. Noachides say no. Christians say yes. [I'm ignoring "Christian Noachides" because that group is so small, as to be insignificant, and uses some faulty logic, to arrive at their beliefs.]

In theory, Islam could be treated as a sect of Noachides, because it _usually_ adheres to the Covenant with Noah. One big stumbling block is that Islam adheres to the Q'ran, which advocates worship of both a God, and Goddess. [53:19-20]

Answer 3

Isaac and Ishmael are both sons of Abraham. Ishmael and Hagar were cast out when Sarah had Isaac. Ishmael and Abraham built the Kabah in Mecca. Abraham was called upon by God to sacrifice his son. The stories are different but Judo-Christian world believes Isaac was to be the sacrifice, Muslim world believes Ishmael. It's not so much that Islam stems from Judaism but Islam has a common ancestor as Judaism. The reason there is so much commotion is because too many people think "My God can beat up your God". By the way Allah is just Arabic for God.

Answer 4

They do, but it's a LOT more complicated than that. They are all called "Abrahamic" faiths, which mean that all of them trace their roots to the prophet Abraham.
However, Abraham had two sons - one by his wife Sarah, which he named Isaac, and one by his concubine Hagar, who he named Ishmael. When Isaac was born, he cast Ishmael and Hagar out into the desert. Christians and Jews believe that they are decended from Isaac, and Muslims believe they are decended from Ishmael.
So you can see that right there that there would be some trouble. This was only complicated when Mohammed (peace be upon him, if you're Muslim) recieved the word of Allah, or God, from the angel Gabriel in the 800s. The Christians already believed that Jesus, the son of God, had decended to earth and died on the cross. So Jersalem was holy to all three faiths - three faiths who all thought that the other two were wrong.
But the real conflict comes not from religion, but from land. The British government controlled the region known as Palestine until just after WWII, and since no one knew what to do with all the Jews displaced by Hitler, the British government "gave" that land to them in the Balfour Declaration. In a typically colonial fashion, no one really thought about what to do with the people who were already living there (AKA the Muslims). Those prior residents were displaced by the flood of Jewish immigrants, and they became refugees, known as the Palestinians.
So the whole argument is really about the atrocities each group alleges the other side has committed - Israel says the Muslims want to "wipe them off the map" and "push them into the sea"; many Arabs claim that the Israels have displaced their kindred and murder and abuse the Palestinians.
This is a fairly bare bones account, so if you want to learn more, check out "Israel" on wikipedia.

Answer 5

It is not which faith is rooted in which. Abraham was the first true monotheist. He had two sons, Ishmael and Issac. Since the covenant was with Abraham and his decendants, the decendants of Ishmael include Mohammad and the decendants of Issac include Moses and Jesus. And therefore the root is Abraham, not Moses not Jesus. Moses received the Torah and Jesus had the Gospel. Mohammad was revealed the Quran. These books were all words of God.

So they don't stem from a religion, they stem from Abraham, the "father of monotheism".

And stop calling "Allah" as the moon god.

Islam did not come from a concept of a "moon god". The word "ALLAH" simply means "the God". It is basically "AL" and "ILLA" combined. "AL" in Arabic means "the" and "ILLA" means "God". So it is "The God". This word comes from the original (Jesus' language) Aramaic. The word in Aramaic is "EL".

The Arabic word, "Allah" is probably the most apropriate for God. It is gender neutral and singular in nature. It does not have a plural at all. Since God is one and is unique and does not have a partner, this word "Allah" is the best choice for addressing the Almighty God.

As far as the story of the moon god is concerned, yes there were many gods that the pagans worshiped in the Arabian Desert. The word "Allah" may have been used by pagans also (since it only means "god"), after all, it was the prophet Abraham who started the worship of one God. Here is what the Quran says about what to worship and what not to worship:

"And among His signs are the night and the day and the sun and the moon; do not prostrate to the sun nor to the moon; and prostrate to God Who created them, if Him it is that you serve" (Quran 41:37)

"And He has made subservient for you the night and the day and the sun and the moon, and the stars are made subservient by His commandment; most surely there are signs in this for a people who ponder;" (Quran 16:12)

"It is He Who created the Night and the Day, and the sun and the moon: all (the celestial bodies) swim along, each in its rounded course."(Quran 21:33)

Here it is clear that the God addressing you in these verses is not the moon god.

A note for the Christian fellas, please show me in your New Testament, where Jesus says "He is God" as clearly as I have shown you in the Quran just above. I can also show you this in the Torah just as clearly. Because when God speaks he is not afraid of anyone, so you don't have to search for any hidden meaning in his words. He does not imply that he is God, he says it clearly as below in the Torah:

"I am the LORD, and there is none else, beside Me there is no God; I have girded thee, though thou hast not known Me" (Isaiah 45:5)

Always remember, God speaks clearly, like this:

Say: He, God is One.
God is He on Whom all depend.
He begets not, nor is He begotten;
And none is like Him. (Quran 112:1-4)

My source is Islam for all this understanding.

Answer 6

Where did you get the premise that they stem from a common religion? I'm curious.

My interpretation is that they came about in parallel, with no real inter-relationships.

It is a natural tendancy for people to think that similarities imply cause and effect - but that isn't really part of nature.

A simple "Google" search turns up these facts.....

The old testament mentions Mohammed. But - that does not imply that Mohammed recognized the old testament.

Rather than consider the questions ignorant - consider that the asker may have some misconceptions.

Answer 7

The original, unchanged revelations given to Abraham and other prophets(like Moses and Jesus ) reaching back to Adam all came from the One True God(The Creator). This common origin explains their similarities in many beliefs and values

However, over time the teachings of the various religions, due to a variety of reasons, have become distorted and mixed with made-man ideas.

The last Prophet and Messenger of God, Muhammad , who is a direct descendant of Abraham through his first born son, Ishmael, was sent with the Last Guidance, Revelation and Testament, the Holy Qur'an(koran) to amend and correct the changes and corruption made to the the "Torah" which was sent to Moses and theTrue Gospel of Jesus.To say the truth ,God preserved all the other Holy Books plainly by preserving His Last Book the Holy Qur'an(koran)which contains the right and the truth of all that was changed in those other Books.

God promised that since Muhammad is the last of the series of the Prophets and Messengers and since the Holy Qur'an is His last Book of Guidance to humanity, He Himself will guard it from any changes or corruptions till the Day of Judgment. This is why this last Revelation which was sent 1423 years ago has remained unchanged, not even a word or a letter has been altered.

There is not even one word of difference between two Arabic Qur'ans, anywhere in the world. There has been no disagreements in history among Muslims as to what should and should not be in the Qur'an.

Islam teaches us that we must pray directly to God without an intermediary and no soul can bear the burden of another and that the nature of humanity is good, and we did not inherit sin from Adam. Each soul comes into being free of sin.

The oneness and universality of God's message requires that people accept all the messengers of God. Rejecting one of them amounts to rejecting them all. The Jews reject Jesus's mission and Muhammad's mission; the Christians reject Muhammad's mission; whereas the Muslims accept them all, but reject incorrect historical interpretations and human elements in these missions.



The Final Prophet Muhammad said: "Whoever believes there is no god but God, alone without partner, that Muhammad is His messenger, that Jesus is messenger of God, and that Paradise and Hell are true, shall be received by God into Heaven."

Answer 8

You are quite right, of course. Allah is the same old jealous, petty, mass-murdering psychopathic Abrahamic diety of desert monotheism that is described in the Old Testament. Christians seem to think that around 2,000 years ago, this diety developed some kind of Multiple Personality Disorder (MPD), in which it manifested a hippie-like personality (which spent some time on earth, and can now be eaten in the form of a cracker), and some Casper the Ghost-like character with pedophilic tendencies (suspected of having impregnated a 12 or 13 year-old virgin... and being honored for it). The Moslems, however, do not share that belief; they see it as its same-old psychopathic self, essentially unchanged since its old-testament days... except that it seems to have updated its reward system about 1,500 years ago, when he started handing over virgins, in heaven, to be defiled by insane zealots, as a show of gratitude for them having carried out mass-murder in its name. ( I think that's what happens to Catholic nuns, after they die. Where else would they find enough virgins?)

Sweet.

I find it very interesting to note that most Christians... including Christian preachers... haven't got the slightest clue about the historical roots of their own religion, let alone any other religion.

Answer 9

Islam is a religion filled with hatred. All throughout the koran it encourages people to murder people, blow stuff up, and even gives the hope of meeting 72 virgins in heaven "if you die a martyr in a holy jihad" The one thing not mentioned in the koran is that those 72 virgins have AIDS and that the heaven the koran speaks about is actually hell.

Christianity is not religion, it is a personal relationship with God and if you rfead the books of Matthew, Mark, John, and Luke in the Holy BIBLE (Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth) you will know that Christianity is all about LOVE.

Answer 10

No, you have your facts mixed up.
Christianity is the New Covenant with God, Judaism is the Old Covenant-they are connected.
Islam or Mohammedanism is a murderous cult that copied some of the other two, along with paganism.

Answer 11

No Islam does not stem from Judaism. Christinaty is rooted in Judaism, as Christ came from the root of Jesse. Abraham had 2 children, Ishmael, who was illegitimate and Isaac. Palestinians are descended of Ishmael, whereas the Jews are descendants of Isaac.
Abraham believed God and it was counted to him as being righteous in God's eyes. Now everyone who believes God and believes In Christ as Saviour and sent from God becomes righteous in God's eyes. Islam does not recognize this even though they claim Abraham as their forefather. If you read the Bible you will notice it is always the people who believe God that God call his people.
