Not at all, however of the three, Judaism and Christianity are closest. After all, Jesus was a Jew. It has been said that Judaism is the mother and Christianity is the child. That's not particularly correct however. The Judaism practiced today, among the Orthodox, follows rules [commandments] that are often not found in the Hebrew Scriptures [what Christians refer to as the Old Testament]. This "extra-biblical" authority, known as the Talmud, is a collection of wisdom sayings and other comments made by rabbis, but nonetheless, mortal men. All three religions do refer back to Abraham as their spiritual father, but only Jews and Christians acknowledge his son offered on the altar [Genesis chapter 22] as Isaac, and not Ishamael as the Muslims believe. After all, Isaac is the decendent of Abraham and his wife Sara, leading to the Jewish people and Ishamael [Abraham's son by a woman to whom he was not married] resulting in the Arab people. Christians would acknowledge worshipping the God of Abraham, [the God of the Jewish people] but not the Muslim god Allah. After all, Islam denies the crucifixion of Christ and his resurrection from the dead. This fact is absolutely essential in embracing Christianity. While rare, a Jew by birth can subscribe to such a teaching from the New Testament, and such Jews are generally referred to as "Messianic Jews". Some Jews find such a term offensive though and do not believe in Jesus as the Messiah. As you can see, a Jew can believe in Jesus and still be a Jew, but if a Muslim were to believe in Jesus as Savior, it would require that he or she give up their confidence in Islam as their hope of eternal life. Many differences remain between the 3 and no living person practices any one of them perfectly. But in the final analysis, it isn't a religion that makes an eternal difference anyway, but in whether or not you have a "right" to enter when the time comes. Jesus, the Jew said that he was the one who gave you that right [ticket?] as a free gift when you believe his words and believe in what he did for us. See the New Testament, the book of John, chapter one, and verse 12. All other religions just expect you to conform to a system. I prefer following a person.

This is an excellent question. They all originated from the same God. That is why they have so many parables that coincide with each other. If they have the same prophets and a lot of the same stories, almost to the letter in some cases, then they must be from the same God. There is no other explanation. So yes, they are more similar than most people realize.

Christianity confesses Jesus Christ LORD, the Son of God, the Lamb of God & so much more.

Judaism believe the Torah but doesn't believe that Yeshua was the promised Messiah. Jesus came from the Jews. Yet His own didn't receive Him. Some did and they wrote the New Testament inspired by God. The whole bible was written by Jews, inspired by God. Judaism has some additinal writings that deny Yeshuah the Messiah.

Islam denied Jesus Christ the Son of God, Lamb of God, and called it great blasphemy. Who is He that denies the Father & the Son? An antichrist.

So different religions. The God of the Torah & Prophets is the same God as Jesus Christ. The Allah of Islam is probably Lucifer.

(NO)They are all religious beliefs,but it stops there,for Jesus Him self has said "l am the way, the truth, the life, no one comes to the Father except through the Son".
So unless the other 2 except that, they are not the same at all.
One day it will happen for many people in both these religions!,all religions.All those that call on the name of the lord shall be saved,
and Christ is the name they will cry, as it is written,so shall it be

I think they all have the same creationism myth (Adam and Eve) and also share several myths from what Christians consider the Old Testament, like Noah's ark, Abraham stuff etc. So they come from the same beginning, Judaism. They probably have more ethnic and cultural differences that have been picked through time though.

Each and every God is one and the same, so are the religion.

The God had to take various Avatar just to make us understand, what is life about.
The politicians just make a issue out of it and creates a split between religion. Some religious leaders are also politicians who say that their religion is better then the other, and get them converted

They are similar in many ways. The difference is that we Christians recognize that Jesus is the ONLY way to salvation. For that reason they all may be smiliar, but they cant be right alltogether. Either Christianity is right and the rest is wrong, or Christianity is wrong and the rest is right. Why?, because the rest of religions doesnt accept Jesus, and the bible is clear in that point: "...I am the only way...", says Jesus.

There is another big difference too, but i dont want to bother you.

I'm not sure about Islam, but Judaism is almost exactly the same christianity. Islam probably is too.

No. Christianity was birthed through Judaism and the manifestation of the Son of God...the Messiah...Islam came from taking figures from the Torrah or the Old Testament in the Christian bible and corrupting them to make Mu jammed Allah's Chief prophet and voice.
