Judaism Christianity Islam
according to a website:
Jerusalem is home to three of the most religiously significant monuments in the Christian, Jewish and Muslim faiths - and is therefore a place of pilgrimage for all these religions. For Christians, the Church of the Holy Sepulchre is very significant and important because it stands on the site of the crucifixion; for the Jews the western section of the Wailing Wall is the last remnant of the Second Temple making it the most sacred Jewish relic in the world; and for Muslims the Dome of the Rock is the third most important place in Islam as it marks the spot where the Prophet Mohammed made his night accent into heaven

Religion can provide you a optimistic mental have an effect on. It serves to train well ethical values (values can fluctuate), teaches you correct from mistaken, teaches humility, taking care of others. It's serves to unite you, to be able to suppose such as you belong to a invaluable organization, and is usually a shelter from pressure. Prayer and worship can relive pressure. People who attend worship offerings and feature a religion generally tend to reasonable larger with ailments and stresses. It can actually have a bad have an effect on as good, for the equal motives. Some religions may also be too strict or demeaning and will deal with humans badly if they do not comply with their doctrine. Religion is not dangerous, however we need to appreciate that it is a private selection and we are loose to decide upon how we worship or no worship. Good good fortune. 2D

Jewish - Because the Temple was there; David established Jerusalem (city of peace) as their holy city
Christianity - Christ was crucified, buried and rose from the dead there. In the new earth Christ will rule from there
Islam- 3rd holiest shrine is there, home of 3 recognized prophets after Mohammad: David, Solomon and Jesus

Jewish, Islamic, and Christian. The all believe in Moses, the ten commandments, and the 613 laws of Moses. This is why we kill each other.
There are two Gods, God the Father who art in heaven and god the father who art in hell, this is the story of the tares.
Jesus told us who His Father is, he also told us about the other father. Jesus speaks of what He hears is Father speak and Moses speaks of what he hears his father speak. Read John 1:17, John 3:14, John 4:21-24, John 6:32, John 10:8, Luke 4:6 and 4:9 and Revelation 13:10-18

Christianity has never claimed Jerusalem as their sacred city, thier sacred city is not of this earth.
Hebrews 11:10 for he was looking for the city which has foundations, whose architect and builder is God.
