+1 yJudaism is so splintered, each sect warrants its own discussion. But by far, Kabbalah is the worst.
The divide between Jews and Muslims goes as far back as Isaac and Ishmael, and God warned Abraham that messing around with Hagar would have disastrous consequences that would endure for countless generations. That Sarah suggesting Hagar as wife #2 for Abraham was an incredibly shortsighted plan. But the single biggest difference , is to look at how they view Moses and Jesus. Characterization of those two betrays a lot of theological differences. Ignoring them is like ignoring the difference between sodium chloride and potassium chloride. One will melt your driveway faster , but you'd be a fool to put it in your mouth.
The reason that Abraham branches stand out, is because they, with a few exceptions , preach partial detachment from worldly concerns, to pursue the will of a being that exists outside of nature and is superior to Creation. All other faiths, including atheism and LeVayan satanism, betray themselves in the end to pantheism. Which worships the created rather than a supercedent Creator, mixing science with superstition until they cannot tell the difference. But this makes that liberating partial worldly detachment impossible, which means pantheism often betrays itself to statism. And if a perverse state sanctions a thing be done , or redefines something to create arbitrary loopholes , those other faiths all too easily bend their own rules. As the religious succumbs to political pressure, the whole of it is easily corrupted. Which is why, originally, American Christians and Freemasons agreed that federal power needed to be restricted: to not restrict it was an invitation to doctrinal compromise and to total cultural degeneracy. Over time, more and more from every faith background got sloppy, and let centralized authoritarianism take a foothold. So here we are: a world with hundreds of religions, buried beneath the noise of degeneracy, which is everywhere. Babel required languages to be confused. Babel 2.0 has planned ahead. Only God knows what it will take this time. Good thing his imagination is limitless. Because I only have a few solutions from my own, and all of them involve supervillain insanity.10 Reply

According to the Islamic belief, there is only one belief in God. Or there is only one religion. The task given to Jesus or Moses is the same as that given to Muhammad. but people changed the book of Jesus and Moses. We believe in all prophets. We believe in the miracles of Jesus. We believe in the miracles of Moses. but they don't believe in Muhammad. In general, the 3 books are similar to each other, but the belief in God is different. He cannot be the son of God. God is one. father cannot be his son etc. Jesus was born without a father as a miracle of god

+1 yIm not sure religion wise... I do know one day we will all know the truth what happens when we die. I rather serve God and find out there's no god then not serve him and miss out. I dont label myself as anything cause every religion does things I personally dont approve of. I stopped attending church cause of all the greed for money. I feel God mostly out in nature.. I dont believe we should treat people horrible for life decisions lets gay marriage... I believe God made Adam and Eve not Adam and Steve and not Annie abd Eve.. at the same time I am not going to treat them like crap just cause I only want to marry a man... I am happy they found happiness in life.. they dont need hate they need love.. we all get enough hate from every direction.. or how a coworker shared with me she wants to be a man.. its her/his life there's good aspects of both genders I believe if were born it thats what we are.. but just cause I wouldn't doesn't mean I degrade someone who wants to.. I can give my personal thoughts as long as they want to hear; sometimes they just want to vent and want a hug cause the world is such a cruel place!! To out right hate someone cause they dont live or believe the same isn't me and thats what all religion has you do anyone whose not like your kind you think less of them.. which shouldn't be we are all brought up in different environments told the one religion we are brought up in is the real one but its all people telling me.. I believe there's a higher power out there if its Jesus thats great if its Allah thats great.. I just want to live my life in a way that I will hopefully be accepted into the kingdom.. cause if God knows the desires of my heart and I know everyone is made in God image why is there soo much hate? Muslim and Christianity is alike Jesus is a prophet in Muslim much of the story lines up.. as for worshipping the sun, other earthly or man made things I chose to think thats not the truth what is I am not sure.. I follow my intuition more than what any book tells me to do. Buddhism I find has very good parables..

+1 yI can't speak for other religions.
But in Islam we consider ourselves to be following the Abrahamic tradition. Meaning we believe in all prophets and that they were all contacted by God/Allah either directly in the case of Moses or through the Angel Gabriel (which I believe is what christian refer to Holy spirit). We consider both Christians and Jews to be people of the book, which is a special status.
Christians (except for Arians but they got converted to Catholicism by force in early medieval Europe) believe that Jesus is God. In which case, no, Muslims don't believe in the same God because for us, Jesus is a man and a prophet, not a God. God, Jesus and the "Holy Spirit" are entirely 3 different entities. Muslims think it's a grave sin to associate God with others and pure Monotheism is the base of Islamic faith.
Jews think that Muslims worship the same God as them. So both Jews and Muslims somewhat mutually agree that we worship the same god. According to one of the most famous scholars of Judaism in history, Maimonides, Jews are allowed to pray in a Mosque but they're not allowed to pray in a Church because they consider it paganism to worship Jesus and Mary.
So the answer is more complex than a simple Yes or No. I just gave a quick overview.109 Reply- +1 y

@NorthAfrican we can't ask Jesus to speak to us in the way we would want now. We can't ask him to speak to words we want him to speak.

Anonymous(36-45)+1 yIf people actually took the time to read the Quran they would realize the ignorance that has been engrained in their hearts. Yes, Islam does say be cautious of the Jews and Christians, this was something said over 1400 years ago. Well, look at this world today, there are Christian Zionists and Jewish Zionists will bash Islam or call the 12th imam (Imam Mahdi) the anti-christ., which is false. Yes, Christianity and Judaism came before Islam but God perfected religion with Islam because it came last. As the saying goes, saving the best for last and that is no knock on Christianity or Judaism because Islam does state to be kind to others, help your family, help your neighbours regardless of religion. As prophet Muhammad raised Imam Ali (his successor) hand and stated he will one day pass away and he has perfected Islam as a religion through God's will these are things not talked about. Christianity, Judaism and Islam have similarities such as praying, fasting, believing in one God and the return of a messiah. People reject Islam because they did not bother reading what the Quran actually says. The Quran comes in any language pretty much so on the day of judgment people can't say "well the Quran was only in Arabic". Islam talks about the reappearance of Jesus Christ coming with Imam Mahdi when the time in this world nears. So why do Christians bash Islam when we believe in the same prophets. When Jesus returns he will tell non-Muslims he was never a God. How could Jesus be a God when there is only ONE God to pray to? Technically speaking Jesus was born in the stomach of Mary (Maryam) who has an entire chapter dedicated to her in the Quran. Jesus is mentioned more times in the Quran than Prophet Muhammad and yet people still demonize Islam. Wouldn't that make Jesus' mother a God if her son Jesus was born inside her stomach? No, because God provided that gift. Another thing is, even Jesus' mother or a prophet's wife, they dressed modestly with a head covering so for people today to bash Muslim girls wearing a hijab, what about nuns then? See how much people disregard the truth. I know Christian people who have said yes the Bible was modified it was not word for word from God, but the Quran is word for word by God. When Imam Mahdi returns and the big battle is about to happen. Non-Muslims will want to kill Muslims in Jerusalem/Palestine, God will send Jesus down where non-Muslims will think Jesus is on their side ready to kill Muslims but Jesus will say no and inform the truth and this will shock people. Since people enjoy insulting the Middle East, where do most of the prophets come from/born in? The Middle East, Muslim/Arab lands. Jesus was Muslim, his real name is Isa, Moses is a Muslim, his real name is Musa, Abraham is a Muslim, his real name is Ibrahim, the list goes on and on. This is not to trigger or make people mad but God left Islam last and perfected the religion, God knew religion takes steps and it takes time and bits for people to learn. But today, political powers use religion as a tool to benefit the wealthy and elites of the system. People should read why the CIA and FBI have tried to look where Imam Mahdi is, heck the western media outlets even produced a show on Netflix called Messiah, which was cancelled after one season depicting what I just described and even the actors name is Mehdi. But what Netflix did was make a mockery of Islam and the 12th imam. Imam Mahdi is alive in this world today and he will return when God appoints that time for the injustice not only Muslims faced but for those suffering and oppressed around the world and Jesus will come back as well and state the truth and be on the Imam's side and that time is nearing for world peace. People can read this and give my comment a thumbs down but until people witness that moment of the 12th imam and Jesus or people realize what Islam represents then it doesn't surprise me that narrow minded/bias people will say negative things about Islam.

Opinion Owner+1 yTherefore yes, under the Abrahamic religions -- Christianity, Judaism and Islam looks at one God and one messiah, therefore why are we fighting? why are we killing? Because we allowed religion to be hijacked where people's faith have shifted in politicians whether its Reagan, Obama, Clinton, Trump, Biden, Carter or whomever. Politicians aren't Gods, the Rockefellers, Morgans and other families are not God. The truth will be revealed and when Imam Mahdi and Jesus return as Islam mentions, that's when unity will begin. There will come a time when people lose faith in politicians and governments and more then ever it is happening today. People should read prophecies and scriptures of what will and has happened leading up to the reappearance of Imam Mahdi. Angel Gabriel will sound the skies where everyone will hear, there will be a scream heard world wide that will frighten people to death. I feel sorry for people who are going insane because of a small lockdown because of Covid, we will be tested much more in the future. When there's a bigger economic collapse, a deadlier disease or diseases or even World War III as Islam predicts, many weak minded people won't be able to survive in this world, doesn't matter how strong or tall or how many guns you have, no one can run away from God and his message. Inshallah, one day good will prevail and I pray that others strengthen their faith and be more caring to others. Regardless of my answer, my message is to be united not disunited and be weary of politicians from the right or left who constantly lie. Put your faith in God not some racist doofus like Trump or a senile Zionist fool like Biden.
Anonymous(45 Plus)+1 yKind of like pouring oil on a lit match and saying "don't ignite" to it.
But here goes anyway...
Ancient Judaism is the root of Christianity. In fact without Judaism there can be NO Christian doctrine since Christ was the complete fulfilment of the Messianic Prophecies in Judaism, so if you consider that, then yes, Christian and Jewish Faiths come from the same root, so are the same God.
That's where things get complicated.
Along comes Mohammed centuries after Christ, claiming an angel revealed something to him. I'm NOT a scholar of Islam, so I can't speak about much, but I CAN say it's possible that the Islamic people were children of Abraham originally. Abraham had two sons: Ishmael and Isaac. Ishmael was born to Hagar, his wife's slave. Isaac was born to his wife. As such, Isaac was the promised child, despite the fact that Ishmael was older. The Old Testament book of Genesis is explicit. Ishmael and Hagar were sent away.
"He shall be a wild man; His hand shall be against every man, And every man’s hand against him. And he shall dwell in the presence of all his brethren.”
Genesis 16:12 NKJV
That's God's promise to Hagar. Consider what's going on in Gaza. Look familiar?
But the Islamic reverence of Jesus makes no sense. Jesus was explicit: He is the only route to a restored relationship with God. Not the Alpha and the Psi (last but one) but Alpha and Omega - First and Last.
So if Jesus was telling the truth, as both Islam and Christian teachings say, there cannot be another of that style of Prophet after Him - eliminating Mohammed's claim (and Joseph Smith's) to be prophets in the same line.
The book of Genesis that chronicles Abraham and his line is the first Mosaic book in the Pentateuch/Torah. Quite why another religion would accept the first few chapters of this but then reject everything afterwards seems a little odd.
In modern terms it's kind of like saying Neo, John Wick and Theodore "Ted" Logan are the same character.
re-state://background_color_rgba (0, 0, 0, 0), font_color_rgb (0, 0, 0), justifyLeft11 ReplyWhile Christianity, Judaism and Islam have different cultures and rituals, their worship comes from the same origin. Judaism has a very old origin as it studies about people that came way before Jesus, like Abraham, Moses, Noah and all and also about Jesus, because technically Jesus was a Jew, they had a strong belief on the one true God as he helped many Prophets and Men of God in their Journey.
Christianity came after the appearance of Jesus, the new testament became a whole new chapter in the people's lives. This religion is more centred around Jesus Christ because he was the one to rekindle faith and better judgment in religion among people, his parables and teachings and actions were done to teach about the One true God and to forgive those who lost their faith.
Islam, while an old religion, is much younger than the other two religions mentioned. The founder of Islam, Prophet Muhammed is supposedly the last in the line of the Prophets, from Elijah to Moses till him, Muhammed being the last of all inherited most of the cultures fn understanding of both Judaism and Christianity. In that way, Islam is a blend of the understanding of both cultures but in their own way.
So in conclusion, while all religions have a little different beliefs and have different cultures, they all come from the same origin and history and they have been the same complex God.

9 moChristianity and Judaism are tied together under the same God for the most part. Christianity is just a sect of Judaism that accepted Jesus Christ as Messiah. It arose out of the Jewish biblical concept of two powers in heaven and stays true to Torah. The Sadducees flat out rejected Christ and faded away into history going extinct. The Pharisees were kind of moderate on the issue and over time developed into modern Rabbinic Judaism which has problems due to rejection of Messiah and illogical interpretations of scripture to fit the narrative... Id say they don't accept the full extent of God yet... Even so, when honest with the scripture, many Rabbinic Jews understand where Christians are coming from and see problems with some of their own interpretation of scripture. Messianic Judaism accepts Christ so are in line with Christianity. Kabbalah is off in a different direction of occult which I wouldn't consider the same religion. Reformed Juadism is more so a Socialist political platform rather than an Abrahamic religion hiding under the scapegoat of Judaism so that everyone blames the Jews for a Satanic Commie agenda. Islam is a satanic religion created by a false prophet. They don't worship the same God as the Jews and Christians.

The redeeming bits in Abrahamic religions come from those enlightened, those with bright eyes - regardless of whether we are Jewish, Christian or Muslim, we tend to be on the cooperative and kind side given half a chance for it, and are better engineers, scientists, artists, educators etc - as well as more civil/not prone to blowing the gasket (which the IndoChinese narcissistic beliefs often end up doing - they are not big on being humble and tolerant)

We believe that the Jewish scriptures were the first revelation, the Christian scriptures were the second revelation both by God- but these texts were not preserved, so the final revelation by God was the Quran.
And by the way, I find it so funny how people will get so triggered by the word “Allah” when it literally just means “God” in another language, that language being Arabic😂😂I don’t think people realize that the Bible and Torah in Arabic would also refer to

To be honest, I don’t know too much about Mormons of Jehova’s Witness in that aspect, but right now I’d say those revelations are false, because I believe the Quran was the final revelation, but none the less, I still respect them.
- +1 y
Well, I can tell you that like Muhammad (peas be upon him), Joseph Smith (the Mormon prophet) was also near "illiterate" which gives his revelations the convenient quality of being both unfalsifiable and unverifiable lest the ability to recite whole verses from the old testament would be nothing special. Also like Muhammad, he was apparently very glib and persuasive and just like Muhammad, used his influence to engage in depraved sexual immorality. He had far less people killed and tortured though.
In fact, the Mormons have since started doing a sort of post mortem salvation where the names all those previously denied the chance to follow "the true path" due to their race or having died before the revelations are read out and welcomed into the faith, at which time they are supposedly emancipated from their eternal damnation. - +1 y

Besides, we're not talking about the existence of God, we're talking about the described behaviour of Muhammad in the Quran. So being an atheist has no bearing on the matter anyway.

It is actually possible to translate the Quran into English and that has been done. The original text was partially written in a mix of Arabic and Aramaic anyway so pure Arabic versions aren't even authentic by your logic. I also doubt you speak Arabic being a British Pakistani.
There are numerous instances of Muhammad's perverse lifestyle. Not the least of which is marrying a 6 year old girl. Other examples include taking wives from "the spoils of war", making up rules which allowed him alone among Muslims to have sex with women of other faiths and having sex with a woman hours after having her husband and father killed. If the Islamic descriptions of Muhammad are true, he was a deplorable human being and it is quite sickening that he would be admired by as many people as he is. - +1 y
I love how you didn’t actually answer my question. Who’s diverting the topic now?
I never claimed I could speak Arabic but I do have a certain level of understanding, it’s very minimal but none the less it helps.
Of course the classic arguments to deem Muhammad as an immoral human being, we can tackle them one by one, but first answer my question, I originally asked you. - +1 y
Yes I read the Quran in English. What are you going to say? That reading it in English is invalid? That is a tired and refuted argument. The main argument being that the Arabic allows for more interpretations which is obviously nothing but a smoke screen used to deny any negativity which the Quran is demonstrably full of.
I'd be very surprised if you actually could defend Muhammad from accusations of immorality. You would be the first person in history to do so and many have tried.
Is it a God? Who knows. I personally don't like to simply define something that is much more than anyone probably realizes. It's an unknown. People hold beliefs towards their own perspective of who and what God is. For me, I have what I genuinely feel and I'm completely ok with not knowing or trying to define it. What I was taught was from others perspectives and it didn't feel right for myself.
Even in each religion there is divide upon beliefs because beliefs would be considered laws and universal if God was known, if that makes sense. We just have what we are taught and what we feel. There is just no wrong or right answer. It doesn't matter what other's believe if you have your own personal beliefs.20 ReplyMuslims say they believe in the same God as Jews and Christians. The teachings are actually vastly different. Muslims follow Mohammed and consider him as the best person to have walked the earth and are vehement on accepting that he is above one’s parents and say they love him more than their parents whereas Christians accept Jesus as their Lord and saviour. I personally believe Jesus is much more convincing because his character was faultless and he was totally pure - plus he was a virgin. Jews reject Jesus completely and consider Abraham as their matriarch. Monotheistic religions are the most popular because they caused a lot of force conversions, war and bloodshed to try to convert people - I am talking about Christianity and Islam here. However popularity doesn’t prove them to be true. They’re all pretty illogical if people are able to critically evaluate them and think outside of their indoctrination.

+1 yYes - one God - same message but it got distorted over time. Judaism, Christianity and Islam are actually the same religion but each has been corrupted in its own way. This explains all the similarities and prophets/people which feature in the stories/books.
20 ReplyYes. And all there religions originate in the same part of the world, and many characters from the Bible are also present in the Quran. The three religions are significantly different, but there are also quite a lot of similarities.

@Dargil there you go.
Deuteronomy 18:18 and John 14:25-26, taken out of context and used to build an erroneous belief that Muhammad fulfilled Biblical prophecy.
“I [God] will raise up for them a prophet like you from among their brothers; I will put my words in his mouth, and he will tell them everything I command him.” Deuteronomy 18:18
“But the Counselor, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you.” John 14:25-26
Also, 'the Father' is referred to Allah who blessed Maryam the virgin with a son, Jesus. The holy spirit, Jibraheel (Gabriel) is the same who conveyed message of Allah to all the prophets including Isah (Jesus) and Muhammad (peace be upon them).
Anonymous(25-29)+1 yAs a muslim i would say yeah, we do. Its just the text that we were given and what prophet we think is right
70 ReplyThe character of the god of Islam and the God of Christianity are different.
The God of Judaism and Christianity are the same but Judaism picks and chooses what prophets of the old testament to believe and ignore. All the prophets foretold of the coming Messiah, Judaism denies the Messiah.10 ReplyNot that I'm an expert, but as I understand it, while all three have different practices they all worship the same God.

Anonymous(30-35)+1 yThe same god but unfortunately Christians say there's 3 which is the dilemma and a not true. Jew says bad things about most profits and messenger.
To us as a Muslims we believe bible was holy book also Torah was holy book but with Time they changed the book as it fit their needs or whatever. also we are not true believer if we don't believe in essa aka Jesus we are not believers if we don't believe in Moses or any other messenger. To me there's only 1 god and his messengers that's all it's simple.03 Reply- +1 y
Christians don’t believe in three, there is only one God in three forms. God can do anything including be interested in three forms. This isn’t how a priest would explain it but this is how I think of it. By using my bad analogies, water can be liquid, gas or solid. Or, I can FaceTime someone and be physically in my home, my image on their mobile phone screen and my voice coming through the speaker. Yet I am still one person. Probably bad explanations but I thought I would try. Have a blessed day.
Opinion Owner+1 ySo the son is the god and the god is the son himself?
+1 yTechnically yes. They're all Abrahamic religions as all of them can be traced to Abraham being the major figure in their religion. The Torah, the Qu'ran, and the Bible recognize Him as The God of Abraham.

10 ReplyYes and no. It isn’t as simple as saying either. It comes down to understanding who God is and the understanding the relationship we have with him. As a Christian, I recognize God as Trinitarian, a mystery I cannot fully grasp as he is still one. The relationship I have with God is that as I am his son and he is my father, which I understand is considered blasphemous by Muslims.

+1 yNo, we don't. Many might claim we do, but it isn't true. The God of the Bible is certainly not the same god as in the Quran. And expecting no fights to erupt over this is incredibly naive and negligent of, oh I don't know, human history.
210 Reply- +1 y
Certainly. The God of the Bible is a God of forgiveness and salvation through faith, faith in Jesus Christ who is the Son of God, God himself made flesh as Scripture says; "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God."
-John 1:1
And; "Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I AM.”
-John 8:58
I AM, is how God identified Himself to Moses.
This is the most important difference, Muslims do not acknowledge Jesus as Son of God nor as God. They call Jesus a prophet, but nothing more. And the Bible is clear that those who deny the Son deny the Father, and without the Son one does not have the Father either. Additionally, Allah of the Quran is a god of demanding perfection and deeds to become righteous, rather than faith. To be saved in Islam you must lead the perfect live in accordance with all rules and religious routines. But this legalism is exactly what Jesus denounced the Pharisees for, for their faith was hollow and false and only for show. The God of the Bible sacrificed an aspect of Himself (the Son) so that mankind could become saved through the sacrifice on the Cross which cancelled out all our sin once and for all, and so we aren't saved through deeds and wordily pride but through faith in Jesus alone. Because no one, no one can be righteous and blameless on his own before God, it's impossible because God's standard is one so high and pure that humans cannot reach by themselves. But Jesus could and loved us so that He was willing to take the punishment for us. - +1 y

Actually it's not entirely true, Islam demands both Faith and respect of Rutals which are quite simple (praying 5 times a day, fasting in Ramadan, giving Charity (Zakat), the proclamation of faith (Shahada) and doing Hajj Pilgrimage if you can).
I'd argue Islam is in the middle, not as legalistic as Judaism with their thousands commandments , not as "freestyle" as Christianity. People who follow the rules on the outside but are disbelievers on the inside (no faith) are considered hypocrites (Munafiq) and it's a big sin.
And certainly Muslims don't need to be sinless to go to heaven, we believe only prophets are sinless... According to our scriptures, a prostitute went to heaven for giving water to a stray dog. A man went to heaven simply for removing a hazardous tree from the road. At the day of judgement there is a balance of Bad vs Good deeds. And if the Good is equal to bad or exceeds the bad, you go to heaven otherwise you go to hell. And even hell isn't eternal for everyone.
If you go to hell but a loved one is in heaven , he can ask god to get you out of hell and bring you to heaven. Etc.. - +1 y
@NorthAfrican Nothing surprising to me in that excerpt. And it didn't go against what I said. The day of Judgement in the Bible will be different for different groups of people, as in people who accepted Christ, people who did good but did not accept Christ, people who did evil and did not accept Christ. These will rise from the dead for judgement, but the faithful will rise to Salvation because we did not put our faith in ourselves and our deeds, as if pitiful human striving in this world towards claimed righteousness is what puts us right with God, no we trusted in the Messiah who paid the ultimate price for the very reason that deeds wouldn't be what got you into or kept you out of Heaven. Because God knows, that no one can achieve that as a human. Not us, not you Muslims. Your account of weighing good against bad deeds alike some market scale, that is a lie from Satan that cheapens the Holiness of God. As if we could buy passage into Zion with the sum total of paltry achievements on earth, because they were "good". No, the truth is that *no* sin can exist in God's presence, none, not the barest hint. He is Holy and perfect and only light, he does not shift from light to dark as the Bible say, He is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow. And no human is without sin, no one. No human can go through life without sinning and to claim so is to sin, partially in lying and partially in being a hypocrite. Thus Christ's sacrifice was needed. God already had empirical evidence from dealing with Israel that man could not be righteous through deeds alone.
The huge problem with claiming that a woman being kind to a stray went to heaven is that it removes focus from God's grace and Christ and focuses on the person as if they are righteous in themselves. But the same woman will have sinned as well in her life, lied, cheated, stolen, even murdered. And yet her one action grants the Kingdom of Heaven? It makes no sense with God's nature that way. - +1 y
Why did God need to send his own son to die for us? That sounds like a Human sacrifice that many pagans at the time did.. What about being accountable for your own deeds and not have someone else be punished for what you did? Sounds a bit immoral to me tbh
- +1 y
@NorthAfrican I explained exactly why He needed to do it. So you can simply reread my comment in that case. And it was far, far from pagan rituals. Pagans sacrificed animals and themselves to appease their gods, God sacrificed Himself for His own children that they might not perish but have eternal life, a perfect and unending love, Agape. Nowhere, in no other religion or faith in this world, has a deity done so for his creation. As for immorality; Waging war on all unbelievers simply because they are unbelievers as your text says, sounds very immoral to me. As does the passage that calls for forcing Jews you meet on the street to "take the narrowest path", and the practice of Taqqiyya wherein you are allowed to lie and deny your very faith if it benefits you and keeps you from death and persecution. Seems quite cowardly to me. Certainly compared to what early Christian apostles went through willingly, and how the Bible bids us to count it joy when we endure trials for the reward is all the greater in Heaven.
Furthermore, if you really think it immoral, then you disagree with your own holy book. "ye have no ground to stand upon unless ye stand fast by the Law, the Gospel, and all the revelation that has come to you from your Lord."
-Sura 5: verse 68
The Quran itself acknowledges the Bible as real and faultless. And if that is the case, then Islam is wrong, but if that isn't the case, then the Quran is telling you to obey something wrong, which still makes Islam wrong. - +1 y

I like to view God as a child growing up. Yes he likes cowboys as a kid but he changed to astronauts next year (whatever a year is for an entity that is god). Makes me feel like some of bad things in the world are just mistakes he made as a kid. Like cancer.

+1 yThey technically all worship the same god of the mythical Abraham.
But Christians believe that Jesus was also the incarnation of God. And jews and Muslims view him as a rabi or just another prophet.
And Muslim if I understand right believe that Muhammad was the most recent and last prophet so that means his teachings are primary whenever he may contradict an older prophet.
Christians and Jews don't believe him to have been a prophet of God at all.01 Reply- +1 y
Feel free to correct me.
I'm not super familiar with Islam or Judaism and I'd like to know more.
+1 yThey’re all Abrahamic so if you go back far enough, yeah. In practice? No. The Christian god is forgiving; the Jewish god is the same god as the Christian god but is very focused on being part of the right group; the Islamic god is a vengeful and unforgiving god. Basically Christianity is Old Testament + New Testament, Judaism is Old Testament + New Testament Gods Temperament, Islam is early Old Testament.

@FakeName123 Not quite true. The "Three in One" is a teaching of Christianity. The Holy Trinity is just an expression of different aspects of GOD, so that we can understand, with what seem like feeble, human minds.
Christianity is MONOTHEISTIC, but you do not understand the ways that the various aspects of the ONE manifest, through the three. It is easy to see why. Many are confused with it.

Killing, and fighting over words, in some ancient book, written centuries ago, is just BEYOND INSANITY to me!!
It's so sad, when the FUNDAMENTAL BASIS, is the same. The idea, of the "GOD" is the same, but with different names, and different cultures.
So many have died, and killed, in the name of a "God" that I believe would be "HORRIFIED" that we still fight over these things.
What if all those, that fight, kill, and die, in the name of "God" go to HELL, for TOTALLY MISUNDERSTANDING THE WORD. . . - +1 y
