Question

If the practitioners of these five principal religions of today were asked to sum up the main message - or teaching - of their religion in one sentence, what would it be??

Answer 1

Christianity: Accept Jesus and escape Hell.
Judaism: Do unto others as you would have them do unto you
Islam: There is no God but God
Hinduism: Good deeds, good thoughts, good actions
Buddhism: Life is pain. Nirvana is salvation.

Answer 2

You're asking quite a lot and that can not be fully answered in a place like this. I'll have to agree with another post that you should really do your own homework. Come here if you have questions about your research or don't quite understand something that you find. I will, however, explain something about the three Abrahamic religions that may help you. Judaism, Christianity, and Islam all worship and believe in the same god and they all come from the same place or have the same roots so to speak. An easy way to think of it is you begin with Judaism which begins with Abraham, the father of Judaism. Christianity broke off from Judaism with the belief of Jesus of Nazareth being the son of god. "Christ" is really a title that is applied to Jesus. The idea is that Jesus, being the son of god, died for our sins. If you believe this, you don't need to continue to follow many of the beliefs and practices of Judaism. For Islam, Muhammad is the prophet of God and they often see Jesus as another prophet but not as "the" prophet and certainly not as the son of God. Imagine a tree, the stump being Judaism. From there it breaks off to Christianity, Islam, as well as continuing to grow as Judaism. These three in turn also break off into several different sects, all who believe slightly different things.

Answer 3

First of all Abdul Hassan is wrong in the Hinduism part. Good words, good thoughts and good deed is the message of the Zoroastrian religion.
Christianity, Judaism, and Islam fall in the same category.
As for Hinduism and Buddhism they are not in any way close to the other three.

Answer 4

Hassan see to have Judaism, Christianity and Islam summed up well, Samantha Has Zoroastrianism, and I cant say for the rest, as I do not know enough to be sure of them.. Yes folks, it's better to say you dont know something that to talk out of your rectum, as some people here have done when they badmouth other religions...

Answer 5

Buddhism and Hinduism couldn't. They are a journey. The semitic ones could because they are just orders. Their sum would be "Do as I say or go to hell, and help your fellows every now and then."

Answer 6

As Muslims, we were created to worship Allah, believe in Mohammed, love all God's prophets, spread peace and respect regardless of race or religion, and develop the world through science and research.

Answer 7

Buddhism: Life's suffering is caused by yearning for the temporal, and by letting go of all yearning, you can overcome suffering.

The rest is of the teaching is simply a commentary on how to achieve this.

Answer 8

can't answer for others, just as a Jew....and it's a fact that no two Jews will ever have the same answer but....

a pretty universal belief in the Jewish religion is that G-d is One

and then moving on, the next pretty universal belief of Jews is this

they tried to kill us, they failed, let's eat

Answer 9

Love each other like brothers and spread kindness in the world.

Answer 10
