The One God: Christianity, Judaism, And Islam

The One God There are many different religions across the globe; from tribal spirits and demi-gods, to having no gods, to having One God. Today, I will be explaining the similarities between three religions of the One God; Christianity, Judaism, and Islam. Though having very radical believers amongst some, I believe understanding those who are not of the same religion as you will eventually lead to peace in the world. As the old saying goes, “Knowledge is power.” Understanding and acknowledging a difference between people without violence is the path to peace. Let’s start with the most familiar within the United States, Christianity. Christianity is a faith under the Bible, a holy book that gives explanation to the world around us. The Bible
They all believe in the one God, whom created everything and all of His creatures and Man. Even though there are a few small differences like the specific names and who is more important, it is still very similar. It is present in all three books that God chooses, speaks through, and directly guides certain people. The differences being that the Christians have Saints, who were great people either directly involved in the Bible (such as Saint Joseph, human Father to Jesus) and others who came much later but did humanity great deeds in the name of Christian God, like Mother Teresa, who helped many sick men, women and children through her medical organizations under Roman Catholicism. The Jews have Messiahs that they believe are saviors and political leaders of their people. Most famous of which was King David, who led the Jews to Israel and held peace. This is who they model their messiahs after. Islam, while having many prophets and even acknowledging Jesus, believe the last and ultimate prophet was Muhammad, and that his words were the final words of God and override the others. A lot of misunderstanding, especially with media spinning and radical ideology can come from
Even more similarities in this case between Judaism and Christianity, because both the Torah and the Bible contain the five books Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy. These are all accepted as fact amongst the Christians and the Jews as the origins of the Earth and Man. However, in the Bible the amount of books can be more or less depending on the sect of Christianity, but the Jewish Torah only contains the Five. Islam’s holy book the Qur’an is not like the others, it does not contain the origin story but rather the words of the Prophet Muhammad
