Judiasm common ground with Christianity:
Judaism and Christianity relate more to each other than any other two religions. Known by many, the son of God himself was a practicing Jew. Jesus’s twelve disciples practice Judaism even his family took part in practicing Judaism. Jewish people like Christians’ believe that there is one God which means the Jewish religion is monotheistic. There are many other similar beliefs and ideas between the religions of Judaism and Christianity. Jewish people and Christians both have a version of the New Testament that they follow. The Jewish people and Christians both believe in the councils and both kept the canons for authority. Another common ground is that they both believe that their God is Jehova, the God of Abraham. Many people believe that Judaism does not think that Jesus Christ lived at all. That happens to not actually be true, there is too much historical

As a matter of fact the Jewish people believe that Jesus as a matter of fact was crucified on the cross which is exactly what Christians believe. In the Christian religion they believe that there are angels in the world as shown in Luke 15:10 “In the same way, I tell you, there is a joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents.” This displays another common ground between Christianity and Judaism. In the torrah (which is basically the Jewish version of a bible) it is written in Mathew 22:30 “At the resurrection people will neither marry nor be given in marriage; they will be like the angels in heaven.” Demons are also prevalent in both the Jewish and Christianity this is shown in the Bible when it is written in Revelation 12:9 indicates: “The great dragon was hurled
The description of God between the two faiths is similar in nature. They both believe in a monotheistic faith, or having only one God. Judaism however does not believe in a sort of trinity. Christians
When it comes to Christianity and Judaism, 1) the nature and the authority of the Bible, 2) the nature of God, 3) the view of humankind, and 4) the view of Christ. Islam and Christianity have diametrically opposed ideas on these four important subjects (Sproul & Saleeb, 2003). Also, with Christianity we inherit a sinful nature through our common ancestor Adam while Islam has no concept of original sin nor vicarious atonement, and Judaism rejects the doctrine of original sin. Atonement is comitted through seeking forgiveness from God in prayer and repentance, such as Yom Kippur (Emberson,
Judaism became a national religion on Mount Sinai in Arabia. It has since then permeated throughout the Western Hemisphere, the Middle East, parts of Africa and Asia. Judaism is one of the largest religions in the world and it is the basis for which both Christianity and Islam found its foundation. Judaism believe in God, and they believe that he is the only God. In Islam, the followers believe in Muhammad the prophet who founded the religion and the supreme God Allah. In the time that Muhammad was born and being raised by his uncle the two main religions were Judaism and Christianity. Muhammad frequented churches and synagogues, this is where he learned about religion and heard bible stories. These sames stories would later be show up in the Q’uran altered by Muhammad to fit Islam. (Roskin and Coyle, 2008). This is where the two religion clash the most.
In conclusion I have explained the three common similarities between the Islam and Judaism religion. They both share similarities in monotheism with the belief of one god, salvation for doing good and confessing sins, and dietary restrictions with the prayer before the killing of an animal and the forbidden food of
All the religions believe that God gave Moses the law. The three religions are different in many ways. The concept of one God in the Christian faith is not the same in the other religions. The Christians believe that there is one God in three distinct persons, which are the Father, Son and the Holy Spirit. The Muslims, on the other hand, believe in one God whose name is Allah. The Jews believe in one God, Yahweh. They have different views concerning salvation. The Muslims believe that people are saved through their good works and the five pillars of faith. The Jews believe that one is saved by their belief in God and by doing good deeds. The Christians predominantly believe that salvation only happens by believing in Jesus Christ. The three religions have different beliefs concerning Jesus. To the Christians, Jesus is the son of God, who was born of a virgin, and will come again on the final day. The Muslims believe that Jesus was a prophet, who ascended into heaven. They also believe that He will come for a second time. The Jews view Jesus as a normal Jew, who was born normally. They believe that he was
According to Jews for Jesus, you can be Jewish and Christian at the same time. "Jewish" refers to who they are. "Christian" is a designation for whom they follow.
Though Muslims and Judaism share many similarities and differences they are both considered ground breaking religions in their own right. The most important point of comparing the two is both deem Jesus Christ as one of the most quoted prophets. Both religions believe God blessed them through Abraham and his sons. Isaac for the Jews, and Ishmael for the Muslims. Both religions really have more in common than the world actually cares to see. However their likeness is what keeps them at war. The war stems from the battle of deciphering whom Gods chosen people are. The truth is everyone is Gods people. If you choose God, he chooses you. The faith that each person has is their own, we as humans are entitled to own faith
Great post Hannah! Christianity and Judism are closely related in all sorts of ways like you said. When you said "both believe in Jesus, they have thier discrepancies where one much choose whether to be Christian or a Jew" it blows my mind how christanity came from judism and now both religions are total opposites. Even thought both scriptures contain the same stories and teachings about Jesus and the law of the land the religion are so far apart from one another. Today each religion has different beliefs, traditions, and holidays. I wonder why Christianity ended up being so different from Judism.
Every religion has its own goal, and their own path and believe to reach their goals, however there are also many similarities in believes. Although the followers of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam may see things differently, they all fundamentally hold the same values and codes. To Islam, the Prophet Mohammad’s teaching is a complete and final revelation. On the other hand, according to the bible, Christianity believes that Jesus Christ is the true lord and savior will grant you the access to heaven in the afterlife. Judaism is founded by Abraham, and it is the base from which both of the other two religions sprung. Even though the three religions differ in many areas and on many aspects, they also agree on the monotheistic, the belief in ‘One True God.’ Those religions have many similarities and a number of significant differences about God, role of women, prayer, and salvation.
Some people may think what is the difference, aren't they the same thing? Well the answer is no. Christianity and Judaism are not complete opposites but they also are not exactly the same. There are multiply similarities and differences in the faiths. Both religions,Christianity and Judaism, have places of worship but they have different names and celebrate Mass on different days. One similarity is both religions are monotheistic. Another similarity between the religions are they both believe that God had angels and demons.
In a tree of monotheistic religions, Judaism and Christianity, despite sharing common roots and spiritual tradition associated with Abraham, for many centuries diverged and developed in their own distinct ways. The partition, based on different theological doctrines, evolves around the idea of the nature of human relationships with God, which in case of Judaism are based on the Law of Torah, and in Christianity stem from the belief in Jesus Christ and its cornerstone – the doctrine of Trinity.
Both Christianity and Judaism are monotheistic, which means they believe in only one god. They also both hold the belief that you only live one life, and that you then proceed to either heaven or hell when you die. The Ten Commandments are followed in both religions and use parts of the bible. Christianity and Judaism both originated in ancient Palestine.
Christians and Jews are pretty much the same people, Christians were just Jews who believed Jesus was resurrected and is truly the messiah so they followed his religious views and teachings of god, making Christianity, while Judaism is just Jews who stayed with the fact that although Jesus was a cool guy, he wasn’t the messiah and they are still waiting for the messiah. Although it may sound like they’re different, the point is Christianity and Judaism were founded by the same people and follow the same morals, but just chose to follow different religious paths. This is an important part of each religion to look at because most believe that our religious upbringings are completely different, but they truly are not. How, after looking at the facts on how Jesus’ followers and Jesus himself were Jewish, how that the religions are the same in origin but are just made of different people. That’s what people should look at, how Jesus was a Jew who just wanted people to recognize him as the messiah and follow him and his ways, to believe in him as the son of god, while Jews are people who recognized Jesus as just a prophet and there is no son of god yet, or at least truly. The religions are still the same just believe in a different messiah not a different god and
Judaism and Christianity are quite similar in terms of their God, but not so much their beliefs, due to what happens in the afterlife ("Comparison
In conclusion, after researching Christianity, Islam and Judaism I have concluded that Islam is more similar to Judaism rather than Christianity. I make this statement for the following reasons: unlike Christianity, Judaism and Islam do not believe in the trinity. Both Islam and Judaism
