what are the similarities in the islam, judaism, and Christianity religions?

Answer 1

I find several reoccurring themes in models of self and world promoted by those aggressive ideological traditions that have survived the competition. One theme is a belief in a conflict of good and evil in a divided spiritual realm. This theme is attractive in part, because it is a projection of the truth of a primal conflict betweeen predator and prey in a body-consuming biosphere into myth and fantasy as a spiritual conflict between good and evil in divided spiritual realm. Maybe myth describing a conflict between good and evil in a divided spiritual realm offers conservative ideological authorities a means of demonizing and dehumanizing competitors. Maybe demonizing and dehumanizing competitors enables conservative ideological authorities to motivate communities of faithful believers to out fight competition.

Another reoccurring theme in models of self and world promoted by those aggressive ideological traditions that have survived the competition is the threat of final judgment by an angry, testy, perfectionistic, masculine god. This theme is attractive in part, because it reflects fear and hatred of disease and death and offers hope of divine immunity and eternal life in exchange for obedience to the word, will and laws of a good one in Heaven at war with an evil one cast down to and ruling over Earth. Maybe some believe an angry, testy, perfectionistic, masculine god would judge, condemn, torment and punish a creature eternally based upon finite transgressions against the law of a good one in Heaven committed by a creature during a brief existence on planet Earth. Maybe these myths and fantasies create an extra-added urgency and importance to doing what conservative ideological authorities say is right. Maybe from this follows the power of a state dominated by a mercenary plutocratic predatory few to lay down the laws with authority and command the obedience necessary to motivate communities of faithful believers to out work competition.

Maybe to cast men and women in roles that are essentially ruler and subject or in extreme cases owner and property is another common theme. Maybe increased fecundity of communities of faithful believers following an aggressive ideological tradition equates with greater population than competitors and more likely survival of that given ideological tradition over time. Maybe ancient paternalistic theocracies perpetuated themselves and their aggressive ideological traditions by giving the moral high ground to men. Maybe men use these aggressive ideological traditions to enable and justify themselves in dominating and subjugating women. Maybe this allows men to gave rise to the full expression of a motivation to out number competitors, regardless of the possible objections and or state of health, heart or mind of female counterparts.

Maybe many Gnostic Theist models of self and world condemn as evil contraception, recreational sex, occupational sex, and any other non-reproductive form of sexual activity. Maybe some make threats of severe punishment to repress sexual activities they regard as immoral. Maybe some practice ritualized mutilation of male and or female genitilia. Maybe ritualized mutilation of male and or female genitalia reduces perception of pleasure that those who engage in sexual activities may derive. Maybe reduced perception of pleasure makes commands to only engage in sexual activities for reproductive purposes that much easier to obey. Maybe if an individual accepts mutilation without resentment then energy that might have otherwise been devoted to seeking pleasure through sex becomes energy available for diversion to a collective effort to out work, out fight and out number the rest of the planet.

Maybe the society that is best able to out work, out fight and out number its’ competitors wins in the game of survival and sacrifice. Maybe if the society survives then so does the ideology that guides it. Maybe the success of ancient paternalistic theocracies and survival of aggressive ideological traditions may then be understood to be a function of how effectively the members of these societies were motivated in a collective effort to out work, out fight and out number competition.

Answer 2

Major Points:

1. All are descended from Abraham and are therefore partakers of the Abrahamic covenant (Genesis 11-18)

2. All have similar scripture as far as the creation and foundations of the world.

3. While each presents a slightly varying perception of God, they are worshipping the same Supreme Being.

Some of the subsequent doctrines that are similar are: Prayer, Faith, Gospel of Peace, belief in prophets, Charity/responsibility to care for our neighbors. The list could go on. It really is fascinating to read the Koran, Torah, and Old Testament side by side.

Answer 3

God. It is the same God. Judaism was the first to honor this God. The split came between Islam and Christianity over who was or wasn't the heir (Islam) and whether Christ is the Messiah. And we musn't forget a bi-religious off-shoot, Jews for Jesus who both follow the Jewish laws and believe in Christ as the Messiah.

Answer 4

We are all people of the book who share our deepest foundations within our faiths. Abraham, Isaac and Jacob (the Patriarchs) are a big part of the similarities. Although our very foundation is the patriarchs, we share numerous other references from the OT, NT and the Koran in our respective faiths. But the biggest part that we all share is God almighty. Whether Yahweh, Father or Ala, he is God one and the same. We have different paths to God that we follow but our destination is the same.

Answer 5

Ok, we know we don't create each other and we don't come to this world from nowhere because when we die we must be going somewhere as well, hence there must be God, if there were many Gods, they would have fought over what to be created and what not to be, probably over who to die and who to live at the same time... so it's gotta be one God... if that God created us then there must be a reason... could we figure it out on our own? God made it easy and sent us messengers and prophets to show us the way and tell us why... so all the messengers and all the religions are from the same only God, so they've got to be complementary to each other, not opposing each other!!! then God must have said His final words in the last message, what is the last message? and how do we know it's the last one? I guess that would be the religion that believes in all messengers and all books equally... is there such religion? actually yes, Islam does :) A True Muslim (man or woman) gets his reward for obeying Allah's orders (Allah means The God in Arabic) by going to heaven, where he/she are indulged forever in all the good things that were on earth and more, things no one ever dreamt of or heard about. The Holy Quran tells Muslims (men and women) there will be good food, good wine and sex in heaven for all, but not in the bestial way you may think of, but rather in a way that is satisfactory for everyone and better than what was on earth. Heaven is no heartbreak or injustice land. True Muslims are no terrorists, and Islam never calls for that, Islam means peace, it bans violence unless you were fought so you fight back, it only doesn't require Muslims to be cowards, and true Muslims understand this very well and never attack civilians. Islam is the only religion that accepts freedom of religion and asks men to treat women gently like queens. It's all in the Holy Quran and the right teachings of prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). If some people behave otherwise, then it's because people behaviour doesn't necessarily reflect the rulings of their religion always, for example, we can't (and don't) judge Christianity by Hitler or Madonna. And that is another reason why there is heaven and hell after we die, heaven for the obedient and hell for the disobedient and/or oppressor, it's all going to be decided on the day of resurrection and judgement. To be a Muslim, you must believe God is only one with no spouses or offspring, believe in his angels (servants not males or females), believe in all his religions, messangers and books equally, the day of judgement, heaven and hell and that everything is in God's hands and because of his will (good or bad). Muslims believe God is the only divine who never dies, the creator who deserves to be worshiped, all prophets who came to earth are human messangers sent by him. Muslims don't deny christianity, judaism, Jesus or Moses. They believe in them as the noble prophets and messangers of God, love and respect them so much. We believe the birth of Jesus (messanger of God) was a miracle from God to us, being born by a mother only and with no father. God is the creator, he can do anything. We believe Jesus (peace be upon him) is NOT dead till today; he wasn’t even murdered or crucified as most people think. God (most glorified) made the man who betrayed Jesus be killed instead by switching their looks for a moment. Jesus was left up to live in heaven until the end of days when he will come back to earth again, with no new teachings or messages but just to make justice prevail instead of oppression, fight the imposter who will claim to be God and (most important) to perform his last prayer with the Muslims announcing he's too a follower of the last prophet (Muhammad) as all people should... then he really dies like other Prophets and be buried (peace be upon them all). So we're waiting for you Jesus, Messenger of God, to bring the world peace and pray with us. That’s what prophet Muhammad told us and this is what I believe in, I’m a Muslim Neither Islam nor the Quran have versions, Shias are not considered Muslims because they either don't believe in Prophet Mohammad (PBUH), or they object to God's will, so according to what's stated above they are not of the same true religion, so please don't use any of their speech as a trusted source about Islam. so how do we know it's true? what is said in the last message and what should we do? read the following, and you'll figure out for yourself:

Answer 6

Judaism and Islam are monotheistic.
Other than that, the three do not have much in common....

Answer 7

All three honor the prophets of the old testament.

Answer 8
