While I can't tell you much about Islam or Christianity, I can tell you about Judaism. For one, Jews are allowed to drink wine, and we don't follow the Prophet. Wine is a part of most of our rituals - circumcision, Shabbat, Passover, marriage...
We were victorious against G-d? Who one earth were you talking to? Jews serve G-d, and it is IMPOSSIBLE to tie G-d up. It would be ridiculous to make war on the Hoy One, Blessed be He (HaKadosh Baruch Hu, in Hebrew) You are very wrong in what you believ of Jews, and I suspect you may be wrong regarding the others.
Re: Angels. They serve G-d and do his bidding. The only "bad" angel was Satan, and was cast out. I'm not quite sure what you mean by "other beings," but man has good and bad inclination.

First, Jews do drink alcohol. To become "drunk" is the part that is frowned upon by their religion, with the exception of one holiday - Purim - wherein they are commanded to drink until so intoxicated that they cannot tell their friends from their enemies. Most Jews drink wine every Friday night, at a special meal that is a celebration of their Sabbath. It is said that Jesus was born to a Jewish woman, which would make him Jewish, and this is why wine is offered at ceremonies and special occasions that he is said to have attended. From an historical standpoint, nearly every Jew and Christian would have drank wine or beer at one point in ancient times, as clean water for drinking was not always available, but beer & wine making processes would have killed any germ or bacteria that would be harmful to them. I am assuming that Muslims would drink only fruit juices or milk for the same purpose.
I did read a story that Jacob wrestles with a "demon" all night, that turns out to have been God testing him, and there Jacob wins the name of Israel. It is in the book of Genesis in the Torah (Jewish Bible).
I think that some Christians believe in Angels and Demons, and that Demons can sin and can cause humans to sin, but traditionally, most Jews do not - as that type of belief may be mistaken for Idolatry, and also Jews believe that every person is responsible and accountable for their own behavior (good or bad). However, there are many schools of thought on this, in both Christianity and Judaism, so it is hard to give a concrete answer to this question from the standpoint of those religions.
I am uncertain with regard to the punnishment/forgiveness of any acts under the Islamic tradition. As an outsider and a woman, my research has been limited. I apologise for my ignorance.

From the Jewish standpoint. Yes- we will be precise that the textual content of the Torah now we have at present is the identical as that of 3500 years in the past. There have continually been very strict laws for copying it- that means that if a letter was once simply the unsuitable form the entire Torah was once deemed unkosher and now not have compatibility to be used till it was once repaired. On best of that, there have been continually more than one copies which have been learn in public in each and every village and the town on each and every shabbat and marketplace day making potential of the torahuniversal and average, stopping decay of its textual content considering the fact that there have been many individuals that might have recognized the mistake. Additionally, the books recovered from the useless sea scrolls fit the ones now we have at present, the entire guide of Isaiah from the Dead Sea scrolls a phrase for phrase fit for our present day versions. Don't overlook that the Torah, Nevi'im and Ketuvim (Tanach- what non-Jews confer with because the Old Testament) was once continually studied and disseminated in hebrew, with translations into the vernacualr of the day average susch because the Targum Onkelos and targum Yohonasan (Targum being translation, and Onkelos and Yohonasan the authors) into Aramaic, the day-to-day vernacular of the Jews after the Babylonian exile. Additionally, whilst the Torah was once learn in public to individuals that weren't found out, a translator translated because it was once learn. The oral regulation is a nother tale. We understand that ingredients of the Midrash (causes and further expertise) at the Torah are misplaced- we handiest the sifrei for 3 of the 5 books. The oral regulation itself is good preserved within the Mishnah- however the lack of 2 books of the sifrei implies that our Rabbis at present don't have the whole photo in the back of probably the most Rabbinical enactments of the Sanhedrin or the interpretations of them as introduced within the Gemorra. (The Mishnah and Gemorra in combination incorporate the Talmud). It was once because of the worry that additional expertise might be misplaced that The oral regulation was once written all the way down to keep it.

That's a bunch of questions, brother. I'll answer what I can.
I think it's important to say that Christians' dietary code should be the same as that of Jews, because they use the same book, but I'll leave that to one of them to explain.
Maybe you're talking about the weird notion of Isaac beating an angel or some foolishness like that? Again, I'll leave that be.
Finally, if someone leaves Islam and returns again, I don't think they deserve death because Abu Bakr let all the Murtadeen (those who converted from Islam then reverted) live, but he made sure that they were not allowed to spread Islam or defend Muslims in battle until his death. Omar, however did allow them to join in the ranks, but that's because the enemies were so many and so powerful: the Roman and Persian empires, the two superpowers of the time, in addition to tribal infighting. So, maybe this was out of desperation. But, to answer your question, what Abu Bakr did proves that you can't kill people who do this heinous act, but you can humiliate them before allowing them to be treated as they were before they converted.
Peace to those who use their intellect.

I didn't think that Jews were forbidden to drink alcohol. There are many references in the Torah (Old Testament) of Israelites drinking wine, e.g. Abraham getting drunk and his son seeing him naked. And in the New Testament, one of the miracles performed by Jesus Christ was to turn water into wine at a wedding. Jesus is Jewish and without double checking the Bible, I believe the wedding was a Jewish wedding.
I've never heard of the story of Humans being victorious against God and tying him up. However, God did sacrifice himself to be crucified to redeem us from our sins.
As for angels, there is the story in the Old Testament where the angels were tempted by the daughters of man. Then there is Lucifer.
I am Roman Catholic.

I agree, break the question down,
Christians, and Jews drink Alcohol, Jesus made wine, and by all accounts it was really wine he made not Juice. Read the story in the bible. We are not to engage in drunkenness, or abuse it.
Muhammad had several different passages regarding alcohol as well, his views changed over the years, I have no idea why an angel would tell him different things.....
Christians also believe in one wife.

Dude,where are you getting your info?Nothing and no one can defeat God in anything.Besides,drinking enough to be drunk is foolish.To be A drunkard is foolish.To let alcohol dictate you is foolish.Regardless of what the bible says,if you are sitting on a bar stool on any given night of the week,and in the quire on Sunday,that makes a person a hypocrite.Read what Jesus says about hypocrites in the bible.
If you accept Jesus as your personal savior,you wont need alcohol in your life any longer.
Guess what else?You just gave up the truth about Islam in your statement above.A jinn is a demon of the devil,and is incapable of good acts or deeds.That statement alone kills the credibility of Islam,because no demon of the devil is good.
Allah is not a healer.Jesus is the only one that can forgive you of your sins and past transgressions.

The good Saudi Princes drink alcohol when they visit Las Vegas and blow all the money that they deny the poor Saudi people. The AlQuidda bombers went to strip clubs and drank alcohol and slept with whores before they became martyers, seems like the poor who follow Islam are led by the same kind of phoney con-men that the funnymental Christians are taken by. Only difference is that Oral Roberts hasn't asked anyone to blow themselves up.... yet!!!!

Please, check your "facts" BEFORE you post a question. Jews drink alcohol. Purim is one example. Jesus' first miracle was turning water into wine. How many questions do you think you pack into "one" and get an answer? Get a Christian Bible. Start by reading the gospel of John. Then go back to the beginning and read the whole thing, slowly, in order to understand. God loves you.
