Answer 1

As a muslim i think not only there is no contradiction among religions,but also they confirm each other.Its the followeres and the leaders of religions who raise problems among people.
since the religions have taken an evolutionary way one after the other,and considering the time and cultural differences,the minor differences are inevitable.but according to our holly book(koran), god has created people with some differences,physically culturally,... . so i think all the problems between followers is because of incomplete and immature knowledge of humen about religions and God.

Answer 2

Differences:

Standpoint on Jesus:
Islam: Jesus is just a prophet.
Judaism: Jesus might be a good guy, but not a prophet. God will send a messiah someday in the future.
Christianity: Jesus was the sufferring messiah who died for mankind's sins.

Standpoint on Old Testament:
Judaism: God's word
Christianity: God's word, old covenant replaced by new covenant though.
Islam: was God's word when revealed, but was corrupted and that is why it contradicts the Quran.

Standpoint on Quran:
Judaism: not God's word
Christianity: not God's word
Quran: only uncorrupted God's word, the final message from the final prophet.

Marriage:
Judaism: 1 man, 1 woman
Christianity: 1 man, 1 woman
Islam: 1 man, can have up to 4 wives.

When someone steals from a believer:
Judaism: kind of, an eye for an eye. The person must give back what is stolen.
Christianity: If someone steals your shirt, give him your cloak also.
Islam: If someone steals from you, cut off their hand (not sure if just one or two).

Answer 3

there is one major contradiction and the Catholic Church will state it very plainly what that is. It is the worship issue and which day is the one Christians should worship on, the first day as the Catholic Church says, or the Seventh Day as God says to do? the Catholic Church states it is them that changed the day from God's seventh day to the first day of the week, the venerable day of the sun, and that there is no biblical authority for that act, that it is their MARK of their authority as most major churches follow them claiming the bible and the bible only but yet keeping Sunday when there is no biblical support for it.
If anyone can show just one scripture from the bible that changes the day from Saturday the seventh day to Sunday, the first day, i will personally give them one million dollars cash. this has been on the table for a very long time and to date nobody has claimed it. Not important you say? the MARK of the beast is coming soon and you will be forced to worship the way the beast says to do it so if you do not go with the beast you will not be able to buy or sell and will be put in prison and killed. It is not here yet but not far in the future either.

Answer 4

Sure. In Islam the Qur'an is filled with "revelations" from the mind of Muhammad, which he in turn told his followers, who in turn wrote it down. No documented miracles were attributed to Muhammad until the Hadiths were written a thousand years later. In Christianity, Christ's miracles were documented by his followers, the Hebrew Talmud grants the fact that Jesus did miracles, and the New Testament scriptures were written so that they required eye-witness verifiability. For instance in Acts 2:22 Peter says, "Men of Israel, listen to this: Jesus of Nazareth was a man accredited by God to you by miracles, wonders and signs, WHICH GOD DID AMONG YOU THROUGH HIM, AS YOU YOURSELVES KNOW.... God has raised this Jesus to live, and we are all witnesses of the fact."

If the people of Jerusalem never saw Jesus, and never witnessed his miracles, Peter's entire argument would utterly collapse right there. But what ultimately happened? "Those who accepted his message were baptized, and about three thousand were added to their number that day".

Simply put, the New Testament is not full of "revelations" in someone's mind, except for the book of Revelation which does not hold any critical doctrines anyway. However the Qur'an is exclusively the visions Muhammad saw in his head, hardly something that one should consider trustworthy.

So thats the contradiction: While Christianity is largely historically and spiritually based, Islam is more based on revelation.

Answer 5

Religion is a way to achieve something which nobody can prove that is in existense. So basically its a path in a dark world which leads one towards light. Now, Nobody can prove if mohammed wrote the kuran, or that jesus turned water into wine and so on and so forth but what matters in the end is faith!
And for god sakes,, Hinduism Is a major religion too ma friend!!!!!! baszdmegy

Answer 6

Yes.

They all have God, or Allah as he is referred to in Islam, a huge fundemental correlation.

They differ though, when it comes to Jesus.

Christianities focus is Jesus, being God in the flesh, the end all, the way to Heaven.

Islamics believe Jesus was a prophet, did not finish his work, and hence God sent Muhammed, so his word is the final one, and the way unto heaven.

Judaism believes Christ was not the son of God, they are still waiting for the prophesied Savior, so hold to the Old Testament only, on their way to heaven.

BIG difference when it comes to that.

Answer 7

well islam, its not the same 'god', that god is supposedly angry and is making all islamic ppl want to kill the 'infadel' so its really not a good religion and its not a true one, either. in judaism, they don't follow jesus, therefore cannot go to heaven because they don't believe. its sad, but true. anyway, in christianity, you will go to heaven if you 'believe in your heart and confess w/ your mouth' that jesus is Lord. and, if you read the Christian Bible, you have a good feeling inside of you, and you KNOW its true. Napoleon Bonaparte actually found Christianity through reading the Bible and said, something along the lines of 'this is like no other religion; it must be true.' try the book(i have no idea who wrote it) Why So Many Gods?

Answer 8

Jesus is a main source of contention. Jewish people don`t recognise Him as the Messiah. Muslims see Him as a prophet but inferior to Muhammed. Only Christians recognise him as the Lamb of God, slain on the cross for our sins.

Answer 9

The major difference between the major religions is who is the Son of God, the messiah.
Christians believe Him to be Jesus Christ
Muslims believe Him to be Mohommad
Jews are still waiting for HIm to come.

In His Holy and Precious Name, Jesus Christ
