Why jews and muslims follows the first commandment while christians nor catholics do?

Question

To worship only one God...and not to bend before figures created by man...

Jesus is not God according to the revelation made to Moses...

Muslim worships the unseen God...Kaaba is a mere geographic reference...and dont worship Mohammed either

Answer 1

Well, from my personal experiance, I was born a Jew to Jewish parents but then converted to Sunni Islam after being 100% sure that it was the one true religion. FYI, I have never thought about becoming a Christian believing in the trinity, or that Jesus was the son of GOD.

Christians actually follow Paul's teachings; which included making Jesus divine; thus changing him from a prophet to GOD himself. In both Judaism and Islam: this is blasphemy and polytheism; for there is only ONE GOD; YAHWEH or ALLAH (both are the same).

Therefore the answer to your question would be: Neither Jews nor Muslims believe in Paul's claim regarding the divinity of Jesus. But we have to state that Jesus himself never made that claim.

Peace!

Answer 2

Wrong, Jews are the only ones who actually worship just God. Christians believe that Jesus is God, but there no way Jesus can be his own Father, so go figure. Regarding the Muslims, where have you been that you don't know about what happen in Sudan, the situation proves that Muhammad is as idolized as any of the "saints" in the Catholic Church.

Answer 3

you're making a similar assumption that christians do this each and all the human beings at Sinai have been Jews. The Jews have been from the residing domicile of Judah, Israel is from all 12 tribes and this guard the stranger or sojourner between them. every physique understand that the Jews have saved the Torah alive over the centuries, yet they have not customary the Messiah. Christianity has customary a semblance of the Messiah yet have very plenty misunderstood Him. they have additionally prevented the Torah different than for the ten "Commandments", which they have distorted additionally. it fairly is achievable that the reason that they try against to maintain on with the ten commandments is subsequently of the fact they are of the country of Israel, the Northern Kingdom, that grew to develop into into scattered around 720 BC and are coming returned to their roots?? i do now no longer understand for particular no rely if it fairly is truly besides the shown fact that it fairly is achievable.

Answer 4

That's because they don't believe that Jesus Christ was the messiah. Christians & Catholics do. When Jesus was crucified on the cross, he shed blood for our sins. A new covenant was made with man. The Jewish people believe he existed but wasn't the messiah. They only follow the old Testament not the New Testament were Jesus spelled out the new rules. Catholics actually pray to Saints & Mother Mary, which would be worshiping them. I'm not sure why they do this though.

Answer 5

The doctrine of the Holy Trinity states there is one true God who is made up of three separate but equal persons, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

The Bible does not contain the word Trinity. However, the Holy Trinity is hinted at repeatedly in both the Old and New Testaments. For many biblical references, see: http://www.cwo.com/~pentrack/catholic/Trinity.txt

Under the influence of the Holy Spirit, the early Christians prayed and struggled over these hints for a couple of centuries. The concept of the Holy Trinity (three equal persons in one God) was mainstream Christianity in 325 C.E. at the Council of Nicaea and our belief is expressed in the Nicene Creed.

How this works is not fully known and is one the Christian mysteries.

The doctrine of the Holy Trinity is shared by most Christian denominations including Roman and Orthodox Catholics, Lutherans, Anglicans, Baptists, Methodists, Presbyterians, Pentecostals, Episcopalians, and the Salvation Army.

There is a story told about St Augustine:

Augustine was walking along the seashore trying to figure out the mystery of the Holy Trinity and came up to a little boy. The boy was trying to pour the ocean into a hole in the sand with a seashell. Augustine told the boy what he was doing was impossible. Then the little boy told Augustine that it is also impossible for the mind of man to try to understand the mystery of the Holy Trinity. The little boy turned into an angel and disappeared.

Answer 6

Hi

They follow the God of Abraham as do the Jews and Muslims.
They just have the belief that there are three entities or personalities of the one God of Abraham. Pick up a three leaf clover which St. Patrick used in Ireland 1500 years ago and perhaps you will see the analogy of this belief.

Anyway, the Muslims say we (Christians) are children of the book who follow the God of Abraham and do not question this point. Also there is a second God we all bend to, sometimes without thinking - the Almighty Dollar.

Answer 7

the christian belief is that there is only one god that manifests. The trinity is is different forms of God. according to christian belief Jesus was actually God... the same god that both jews and muslims pray too. Further the Holy spirit is God as well the spirit of God that christians believe is inside them. Catholics dont worship idols per say. they use them more as inspiration or a medium between god and man. why thats needed i dont know really since the new test christian bible says jesus or gods death is the only bridge man needs.

Answer 8

Islam adapted some teachings from Judaism. The story about a 'son' or a man turned into God was introduced by Paulus.He changed all the original teachings into a new religion.But more and more christians go away from that.
That commandment is one the Jews and muslims share, as it is so very important and many times mentioned in both holy books, the Quran and Tanakh.

Answer 9

Christians, and Catholics only pretend to follow Jesus the Christ, they in truth follow Satan, as does all religions that believe in Moses, the prophets, the 10 commandments and the 613 laws of Moses.

Christians are not even aware that God the Father, gave us more than 75 commandments through the Holy Spirit, by His Son, that were given to us before the foundation of the world was created, not on stone, but in our hearts, for we were born in the image (Word of God), by His nature, of Love.

Answer 10

I hope you will not be angry at me, or hate me for what I am about to post. I am only answering you with total honesty.

SORRY, you asked a question that warrant more than one sentence.

Muslims bend to a building called the kaaba. Did you know that! During the hajj, the Muslims go around that building and try to touch a fragments of a rock feel to Adam's feet. They believe at one time in history, those fragments were white, and now they are black, because whenever a person touch it. It takes their sins, and now it is black. Does that means they worship those fragments!
Jews face a wall and pray. Does that means they worship the wall! I don't think so, no do I think the Muslims worship the Kaaba, but both bend structure.

Dear, Catholics are Christians. If you are a Muslim, let me explain it this way. Catholic are like what the Sunni and Shia to Muslims.
Christians do Not worship idols.

Edit,
Just as the Jews face a wall and pray, the Muslims direct their prayer to a location, and go around a building in the hajj have their reason for doing what appears as Idols worship to the outsider.

If you don't mind answering this question.
If people are not to make Idols of God so as to prevent people from worship him. Then, why do the Muslims go over board when someone even draw a picture of Muhammad. He is not God. So, why the rule that is to be applied for God, is supposed to applied to that specific man?

They say they don't worship Muhammad, but their actions speaks other wise.

Please understand this if anything from my post. We all are becoming ultra senstive about our faith, hence are assuming and misjudging what the other side does or believe. If you want to do anthing, do this. Ask others to understand, rather tell than tell them what you already think is completley accuate. You may discover there is a lot more to what you know or think you see.
