If Muhammed Said "You want to Love Allah, love thy creation first" and
"Shall I not inform you of a better act than fasting, alms, and prayers? Making peace between one another: enmity and malice tear up heavenly rewards by the roots. " And
"Do not say, that if the people do good to us, we will do good to them; and if the people oppress us, we will oppress them; but determine that if people do you good, you will do good to them; and if they oppress you, you will not oppress them."
Jesus Christ Said "Do not judge, and you will not be judge yourselves; do not condemn, and you will not be condemned yourselves; grant pardon, and you will be pardoned."
What did they mean , when they said all that, Please decode and help me understand how all of you are practicing these?

There is a depth of meaning beneath the obvious call to love and respect your fellow human beings.
WE are the cause of our experience of repression or oppression. At the superficial psychological level we project our defects on to others and our attributes onto governments or gods and reap what we sow. But, still deeper our learned beliefs about self and others which are rarely accurate and mostly subconscious - the conflicted contents of the ego - are causative of our experience of reality individually and en masse.
This is why every religion calls for purification of the learned identity.

You are absolutely right to question every organized religion adhering to these words. Speaking as a Christian, many other Christians, Muslims and Jews do not live up to the tenets that they profess they believe in, and even worse, those that sit back and say, "well all Christians/Muslims/Jews don't believe that that behavior is right" instead of doing something to change these things within their perspective faiths are worse than those who believe in nothing at all. Sometimes I feel that it should all be called "dis-organized" religion instead. These prophets speaking for God meant exactly what they said. We, the faithful, choose to ignore them for our own means, or because we are sheep following a bad shepherd (i.e. our faulty religious leaders). We need to use our minds as well as our hearts, and not trust everything that has religions name on it; whether we are Christians, Muslims or Jews, we are bound by God's covenant. It's time we stopped acting like teenagers when their parents are out of town.

Well to me, it means that no matter how bad or good someone treats you, you should always do your best to treat them with respect, kindness, and charity. Even if they try to oppress you or make you feel inferior. The best revenge is none at all and to show them that they can not hurt you like they want and that you will not stoop to their level. We are all human and we should all love eachother and work for a more united world.

Religion is for Humans.
Be a human being to adapt a religion.
Being a human treat every one humanly.
Want to attain a better status being a human?
Love every one and do good to others without any expectations from them.
Greatest are those who does not take a revenge for the misdeeds of others towards them.
The least, if you cannot do any good, refrain from doing any harm to others.
Be a Good Human!

I practice these great words of wisdom. In fact, I do them not to gain pleasures from the afterlife (although it is a good reason), but I believe that through my acts of kindness, people will see the example and help somebody else, like the domino effect. And, if everyone acts this way, wow what a world this would be!!!!!
Many blessings to you!!!

If you see someone on the street, that looks weird. Don't judge them. If you do, God will judge you too.
The same goes for forgiveness. If you forgive others, God will forgive you. Sometimes it's hard, but we can do it. God never told us to do anything that we couldn't do. We can ask Him to help us though. Allah is NOT God. God is the only God.

If there were more than one God which one would be in charge ? If a decision needed to be made only one could have the final say - so he would be superior to the otehr who then wouldnt be God (since something is superior to him ) Why would you need more than one God -it implies that God is incapable and needs help

Jihadists and their equivalents in other ideological and ethno-social groupings outside of Islamism will avoid such passages in their sacred texts or ideological handbooks and focus on the "wipe out those others' passages
I am convinced that those who avoid striving to live the passages you cite are not real Muslims,Christians or theists or humanists.
