Wouldn't the term "right-wing fundamentalist christian values" be more appropriate?
The way they say "judeo-christian values" you'd think jews shared the values and politics of the religious right.
THEY LARGELY DO NOT.
Over 90% of jews in congress are Democrats or side with Democrats. 87% of jews in America voted for Democrats in the last election

Is it because jews and christians both believe in Old Testament stories? That makes no sense either. Muslims believe in the same stories too. They believe in Abraham, and Noah, and Cain, Adam and Eve, and even Jesus. Muslims in fact believe Jesus was the messiah and a prophet. Jews don't even believe that.
Might as well use the term "judeo-christian-islamic" values.

fruity,
Muslims believe jesus was the messiah and a prophet. They don't believe he was god.
Jews don't even believe Jesus was the messiah. If jews believe jesus was the son of god and the whole trinity thing, they wouldn't be jews.

I would use the term "Judeo-Christian Values" to describe things like the ten commandments or the rules set in books like Leviticus for how to properly live your life. There are some basic ideals and principles which are common to both Judaism and Christianity. You are correct that Islam also shares some of these basic ideals.
I agree with you that the term is often over used and used out of context.

Another high scool popularity contest eh? It's all about affirmation, not about correct answers. When will you grow up?
It IS because the Old Testiment is incorporated with the New Testiment. And as for Islam...
Christ warned that he was the last Prophet from God. That anyone after Him would be a lier and a deceiver. He also taught the Two Commandments, "Love thy God" and "Love thy Neighbor." That from these the other eight Commandments are based.
Sure enough, some 600 years later, Mohammad came along. Have you read chapter 9 of the Qu'ran? It's only60 some odd verses long. It instructs his followers to demand conversion by sword,and to kill all Jews and Christians. It's amazing how much he plagerized the Holy Bible.
Perhaps you should do a bit more stuying before you ask any more questions. Especially if you are attempting to point a condemning finger at others. You only make yourself look silly.

"A cult is a non secular perversion. it extremely is a theory and prepare in the international of religion which demands devotion to a non secular view or chief favourite in fake doctrine. it extremely is an prepared heresy. A cult could take many varieties, even regardless of the undeniable fact that it extremely is in fact a non secular pass which distorts or warps orthodox faith to the factor the place reality turns into perverted right into a lie." That sounds like a great definition to me. So what's your issue? Any church that denies that Jesus is the Son of God or preaches the different plan of salvation than is written in the Holy Bible might greater healthful that definition, because of fact the be conscious Christian ability "follower of Christ". how are you able to be a follower of Christ and deny Him because of fact the Son of God, or coach and prepare basic doctrine that's clearly opposite to the be attentive to God on such important doctrines as salvation by utilizing grace via faith? by utilizing YOUR definition, Jehovah's Witnesses, Mormons, seventh Day Adventists, and in all likelihood some greater offshoots are "cults", as they in all likelihood evaluate mainstream Protestant faiths a cult. What church particularly are you pertaining to, and why is it bothering you?

Read the bible. Really. Try it. You are in for a shock.
Just a brief intro:
Christ Jesus is the foretold Messiah of the Jewish faith. Islam denies the deity of Christ.
It was to the Jewish nation that God (The One and Only True Living God) revealed himself. Islam teaches hatred for both the Jew and the Christian. Search it out.

The whole judeo-christian nation silliness is just a way to push a particular agenda. Funny how those religious peoples values almost always coincide with their personal goals.
Oh look - my troll is back.

I agree with you. As a non-religious individual, I resent the thinking that somehow, those with "Judeo-Christian" values have values that are superior to my own.
I don't need a GOD to tell me to do the right thing; I'm capable of doing so on my own, thanks very much!

It's because values like "Thou Shalt not Kill" and Homosexuality being immoral are both biblical.
