Do you think the problems lie within Christianity and Islam? Just analyze history?

Question

I mean, look at the facts: Judaism 2000 BCE (4,000 years), Christianity 0 CE or 300 CE (roughly 2,000 years, actually like 1,700 years because for the first 300 years, the Christians still believed themselves to be an offshoot of Judaism, rather than a separate religion, the Council of Nicea severed all ties to Judaism).
Islam 622 CE ( approx 1,385 years).

So we've established that Judaism is by far the oldest, older than Christianity by 2,000 years and older than Islam by 2,622 years.

Isn't it the newer religions that come out hating the previous ones? And trying to "improve" it? You know, Judaism was the most ancient one, then Jesus came to "improve" it, then Mohammed denounced both Jews and Christians. And all the major fighting throughout history has been among Christians and Muslims, while Judaism sits on the sidelines. Both religions have practiced genocide against the Jews, without the Jews retaliating.
Jews dont seek converts or wage war for God as the other 2 do.

Answer 1

hahaha great point. Valid. But try getting a christian to admit it.

Answer 2

None of the religion do. Power makes man corrupt. NO Were the both holy book (IF YOU READ THEM) it say you should go to war for god. In The catholic religion way back in the they took indulgences which had nothing to do with the bible at all. The church gained so much power that it became corrupted. The Koran does not speak of a holy war ether, Muslim radicals made that up. NO holy book speak of that. The Calif (religion leader) Muhammad wanted to stop the war in his own land and teach about peace. Did you know that the Koran mention Jesus ???? After Muhammad did the Islamic world went into mayhem splitting them into two group. The Umayyads and The Abbisad ( Sunni & Shia). And it was all over the next Calif.

Man is the one that corrupt not the religion. They make up thing to benefit themself. Jew are any better or any worse. It does not matter how old a religion is Buddy.

Answer 3

בן פרס: Stop spewing anti-semitic (all-right, anti-Jewish) propaganda. You should know by now that the "Protocols" is a forgery. Jewish theologians never said that God doesn't care about non-Jews -- quote me one that isn't a fake quote out of an anti-Semitic (oops, anti-Jewish) book or website. You utterly fail to understand the concept of chosenness. In Judaism, Gentiles have a place in the World to Come as long as they follow the 7 Noahide laws. Jews have a place in the World to Come only if they follow all the 613 Commandments. Thus, according to the Jewish doctrine, it's actually harder to get into "Heaven" if you are Jewish. By the way, in Islam, how does G-d feel about non-Muslims, hm? And in Christianity, how does G-d feel about non-Christians? You deride the Jews for considering Judaism the perfect religion. I take it, Muslims DON'T consider Islam the perfect religion? And Christians DON'T consider Christianity the perfect religion?

Answer 4

You have a strange (but not uncommon) view of things.

Jesus nor Mohamed claimed to improve anything nor denounced any 'previous' belief system.

I don't know if you seen the news lately but..Israel (Jewish as nations come) has been at war for over 50 years...

You should know that any war fought in the name of any god is just an excuse. What god wants war? Not that one God that all three follow (in their own way).

Your statement is pointless.

Answer 5

Different religon have different faiths.

For example, Christianity believe that Jesus is God, that is the reason why they branched out from Judaism. That is their belief.

The proper concept and term to describe us Islam is that we have always believed that there is only one religon, hence the original Christians and Jews, who believed that there is only 1 God, and have submitted to God's will to their best ability, is just like us. We are all of the same religon.

In simpler terms, Judaism came first, but due to evolution, got corrupted. So God sent another messenger, Jesus, and he developed Christianity, and it too got corrupted. And finally God send Muhammad, who managed to preach religon from its purest form. Hence, thats where Islam came about.

And we say that Islam is the Religon because unlike other religons, we have belief and proofs to back up whatever that is stated in Koran. Then again, people of other religons might beg to differ.

It really is up to one's self to find out the truth and believe in which they think is right. :)

Answer 6

Your first two paragraphs are right with the dates. But your last paragraphs are completely not factual. I don't know if you ever read the Bible and about wars in old testament. I guess you have not read the new testament and what it means to be a Christian. I guess you have not read anything about history of modern Israel. About ruling parties in communist Russia or the pre wwII history.
What you said is not factual therfore that is where you get your wrong answers.

Answer 7

Judaism may be the oldest of the three Abrahamic religions but Hinduism is *THE* oldest and we don't seek converts or wage war, so neener neener...

Answer 8

Hinduism outdates Judaism by 500-1,000 years depending on which perspective you're looking at :)

Doesn't make it anymore right, just interesting, as it is polytheistic in nature.

Answer 9

It's mostly just religion in general....however, you are right. Ah well...

Answer 10

And the frosting is oil.
