What are the differences between Islam, Christianity and Judaism?

Question

They are all one good religions, with profets and wise men, books of holy information, and certain rules how to live. But what are the fundamental differences? What are the differences in them that matter so much that people are prepared to kill/ die for them?

Answer 1

Judaism believes the Messiah has not come, but will come.
Christianity believes the Messiah has already come.
Islam does not believe there is a need for a Messiah, all was complete when God revealed what He revealed to the Prophet Muhammad.

Each religion has many similarities and few differences, however it is those differences that make all the difference. The adherants to each of these three major world religions believe whole heartedly and are steadfast and immoveable in their belief that their chosen religion (regardless of denomination or sect) is the only religion God sees as correct. Because of this belief, two of these religions have adopted (by a large minority) the attitude of "convert or die". The other, Judaism, has adopted the attitude of "defend, retaliate, and wait".

Those who are willing to kill and die for their respected religious beliefs are generally considered fanatics within their own religion because all three faiths consider peace to be preferable to war.



On a totally unrelated note, JesusFreak, please learn to spell. It's Isaac, not Isac, and accept, not except. Accept means to agree with, condone, or agree to. Except generally means the opposite of accept.

Answer 2

"the jews are the nicest" - wow, that really is a stupid statement to make. try studying history, and stop making generalisations. i know some people have gone into how their teachings are different so i'll write a bit about history, political views, way of life etc.

islam - definitely the most volatile (but you know that, right?) the qu'ran is very strict, as are most muslims. most religions claim that there way is right and all others are wrong but islam takes this to extremes. they can't handle any criticism of their religion. very protective and very prone to anger. this is the religion people are most likely to die for. if there is a world war 3 then islam will be the cause of it

jews - traditionally pretty greedy. they have a long history of persecution (the romans evicted them, and europe wasn't very tolerant of them). certainly the most rational of the 3 - politically they're pretty centrist and willing to move forward; pretty easygoing usually, fundamentalism is virtually non-existent when compared with islam (or even christianity). israel exists basically because they decided that's where they wanted a jewish state, immigrated there, and forced the palestinians out through intimidation. i can't understand the logic behind it. probably the worst thing they've done. they generally garner a lot of sympathy because of the holocaust

christians - fundamentalism is rife in the deep south of the USA but not in too many other places. christianity has the most different demonitions of the 3, and they can range from strict right-wingers to free-living lefties. most christians, when i've heard them speaking about their faith, are pretty condescending. catholicism is the most popular demonination and quite right-wing but doesn't have the political pulling power or control over its people like islam does. jews and christians are really quite innocuous when compared with islam

Answer 3

Islam and Christianity differ on three main points:
1. The Divinity of Christ where Christians believe that Jesus was the incarnate son of God and Muslims believe that, while Jesus was imaaculately concieved, he was not necessarily divine.
(This is because of the word "Begotten" in the KJV of the Bible John 3:16)
2. The Holy Trinity where Christians believe that God is three in one, the Father, the son and the Holy Spirit and Muslims believe that God is one being, not many.
3. The Crucifixtion of Christ where Christians believe that Jesus actually suffered through the pain of being hung on the cross and Muslims believe that The act of willingness to go through with it was enough and that when Jesus cried upon the father "Eligh, Elgih why have you forsaken me" that his soul descended into heaven without having to suffer.

Judaism bears no resemblance to the other two religions as it denys that Jesus was anything other than an ordinary man. Islam and Christianity are far more alike than Islam and Judaism or Christianity and Judaism.

The points at which people are willing to die for their religion are not because of their differences but because of their similarities, fighting for which one is more accurate, which one is correct. People are completely unwilling to see the good in each religion and to stop fighting over them.

Answer 4

It's not the specific differences that cause people to fight and kill. It's much simpler than that. There will always be power-hungry people who want everyone to only believe the same thing they believe. The fact that there are different beliefs (regardless of what those differences are) is what causes the power hungry to fight and kill others who are different. It's called fear of the unknown or the misunderstood. It's been going on for centuries and probably will continue until the end of time as long as there is ignorance and fear and people who need to have power over others, these struggles will continue.

Answer 5

Judaism is some norms of disciplines. Example Ten Commandments and related doctrines. It was intended at keeping the people under control.

Christianity is a step ahead - from carnal discipline to spirituality. In fact Christianity is birth of spirituality.

Islam - a stolen version of Judaism. The same old commandments and carnal orders to keep people under one umbrella.

Answer 6

There is no difference as they are all monetary based...

Money is the GOD of their religions, and their people will kill for their money (and their other shiny objects - jewels, gold, etc).

The days of the Bible ended in 1999, and the Christians Jesus Christ did not return to them...

As such, we are now entering the Mouth of Madness...

Note: I do not follow any religion, and I am NOT an atheist.

Answer 7

Christianity and Judaism follow a real God, Jehovah, the God of Abraham, Isac, and Jacob, and the God of the Laws of Moses. Islam, however, follows an ancient Babylonian god, allah, god of the moon and the stars. Christianity defers from Judaism in that we Christians follow the complete God and except his one and only Son, Jesus Christ as our savior and our sacrifice for our sins.

Answer 8

Most religions seem to have set aside their blood lust hundreds of years ago. Now it would seem only Muslims like to kill everyone not Muslim, thus they have proved themselves to be uncivilized savages.

Answer 10

There is no need for religion. As long as you live harmoniously then you will be rewarded in the after life.
It's as simple as that!
