First off, Yahweh God has always had one religion.  The same basic Torah (Law) held true through the Patriarchal, Mosaic, and Messianic dispensations.  What differed is the covenants.  The Mosaic dispensation was an earthly covenant, with promise of long life in the land of Caanan for the physical descendents of Jacob (Israel), because of the promise made to Abraham.  If the Israelites kept Yahweh God's Law, God would protect them in the land of promise.  But the Mosaic covenant had fault, it could not truly remove sin.  But God knew that.  He wanted to show mankind that man would always fall short of His Torah, and only a perfect sacrifice could remove the penalty of sin, that is death.  Hence the death of Messiah.  The same basic Torah holds true under the Messianic dispensation.  The difference is that there is a better priesthood, the Melchizedek priesthood under Messiah, than the Aaronic priesthood of the Mosaic age.  Second, there is a better sacrifice, the sacrifice of Messiah as opposed to the blood of bulls and goats.  Third, there is a better temple...the spiritual temple of the Called-out Assembly (the church), indwelt by Ruach haKadosh (the Holy Spirit), as opposed to a physical temple built by the hands of man.  Fourth, there are better promises: eternal life in a resurrected body made like unto Messiah's in the New Heaven and New Earth, for all mankind who come to Yahewh and call upon His Name, as opposed to physical land promises in Caanan, to the physical descendents of Abraham.\n\nJudaism as it is known today is not the religion of Yahweh under the Mosaic covenant.  It is loosely based upon that religion, but it has required many man-made traditions, and has totally abandoned the Aaronic priesthood with its attendent sacrifices since the destruction of Herod's Temple in Jerusalem by the Roman Army in A.D. 70.  Denominational "Christainity" is also not the religion of Yahweh God, but also only loosely based upon the New Testament.  It too is rife with man-made traditions, and its creeds and names are at variance with New Covenant teachings.  Islam's only claim to fame is that the Arabs are the descendents of Ishmael, Abraham's eldest son, and it is even more loosely based upon the writings of the Old and New Covenants than Judaism and denominational "Christianity".  Nowhere did Yahweh God authorize or foretell that there would be a covenant after the Messianic covenant.  I hope this helps alot.

the 10 commandments\nhttp://www.islam-usa.com/e70.htm\n\n\nregarding Moses and the Pharaoh read surah Al Baqarah\n\nhttp://www.muslimaccess.com/quraan/arabic/002.asp\n\n\nEDIT:\nOh dear, those don't even EXIST in the Quran. First, the "kill all infidels" thing is nothing more than a stupid Lie. \nthere are chapters that speak of battles between the Muslims and the Pagans when the Muslims were a minority and being oppressed. but it never said "kill all infidels" not in that sense.\n\nsecond, the "don't be friends with Jews and Christians" also is bad translation. the verse speaks of time of war, the Arabic word Awliaa was translated by some idiot to mean friends>> it doesn't mean friends, it means Protectors of faith. the idea behind it is when the Muslims made an alliance with the Jews of Madinah, the Jews betrayed them and helped their enemies (pagans) instead. \nevery thing in Islam makes sense and all it takes is the desire to know and understand things first hand.\n\nit's very important to understand the historical events behind those chapters and when you understand the context it will be clear that those verses were only addressing Muslims at that particular time and in that particular event. and NOT to be carried out without the Prophet's authority. \ni as a Muslim understand those things but the lazy majority of non-Muslims won't understand them because they are too lazy to research any thing.\nlike chapter 9 (surah Al Tawbah) which people LOVE  to quote from speaks of the battle of Badr the first battle between the Muslims and the Pagan tribe of Qurish.\n\nthere's a significant difference between the Bible and the Quran.\nthe bible has the word of God, the words of the prophets and the words of the historians all in one book. the Quran is only the words of God revealed to the Prophet and has been preserved in this holy book unchanged ever since. the history is in separate books and the oral traditions of the Prophet (pbuh) is also in other separate books.\n\nand then we have the books which contain the commentary (explanation) of the Quran and the Sunnah.\n\nso i hope you get the idea of what i'm trying to say!\n\npeace

Generally not...There are religions which would preclude the use of the bible some of which are christian. "Let your yes mean yes and your no mean no for anything beyond this is from the wicked one". Don't remember the exact location but it's from one of Paul's letters. Not all courtrooms are as enlightened though.....

I'm not a christian, but the three you mentioned are simply defined as hypocrites. They teach things that they don't follow.\n\nPeace.

Christianity, Islam, and sometimes Judaism (depending on the sect).

jesus did not teach christianity. jesus taught islam. rather paul's teachings are the foundation of the christian doctrine. paul was a great persecuter of the "christians" and then began to teach "christianity" which was his way of truly doing away with them. he would never kill them all so instead he took their religion from them by altering it. it's good to see you read the bible. the bible adamently supports and teaches islam. it is contradictory to christain thought.

Yes, and what if they are wrong and Islam is right? Then they will go to the same place us lol! Or maybe the Jews are right and then they will also get punished for idolising. In the end it boils down to where and by whom you get brought up. Christians/ Judaism and Islam have just done to much harm in the past for me to trust any of them.

(this isn't an answer directly to the question but is just a comment on the latest answer that has been posted...)\nthe words you have written clearly speaks of your lack of knowledge in what you are supposedly trying to comment to...\nfirstly, the Bible speaks of those things, correct but it doesn't lie on the same plane as the argument being presented in the question...we don't condemn the violence in Koran or like what happened in the Bible...it is simply a question of faith and what kind of leader you are following....\n\n\nIslam: "Religion of Peace" \n\n"Those that make war against Allah and His apostle and spread disorder in the land shall be slain or crucified or have their hands and feet cut off on alternate sides, or be banished from the land. They shall be held up to shame in this world and sternly punished in the hereafter." (Sura 5.33-34) \n\n"Allah revealed His will to the angels, saying: 'I shall be with you. Give courage to the believers. I shall cast terror into the hearts of the infidels. Strike off their heads, strike off the very tips of their fingers!' That was because they defied Allah and His apostle. He that defies Allah and his apostle shall be sternly punished by Allah." (Sura 8.12-13) \n\n"In order that Allah may separate the pure from the impure, put all the impure ones [i.e. non-Muslims] one on top of another in a heap and cast them into hell. They will have been the ones to have lost." (Sura 8.37) \n\n"Muster against them [i.e. non-Muslims] all the men and cavalry at your command, so that you may strike terror into the enemy of Allah and your enemy, and others besides them who are unknown to you but known to Allah." (Sura 8.60) \n\n"Prophet, make war on the unbelievers and the hypocrites, and deal harshly with them. Hell shall be their home: an evil fate." (Sura 9.73) \n\n"When We resolve to raze a city, We first give warning to those of its people who live in comfort. If they persist in sin, judgement is irrevocably passed, and We destroy it utterly." (Sura 17.16-17) \n\n"We have destroyed many a sinful nation and replaced them by other men. And when they felt Our Might they took to their heels and fled. They were told: 'Do not run away. Return to your comforts and to your dwellings. You shall be questioned all.' 'Woe betide us, we have done wrong' was their reply. And this they kept repeating until We mowed them down and put out their light." (Sura 21.11-15) \n\n"When you meet the unbelievers in jihad, chop off their heads. And when you have brought them low, bind your prisoners rigorously. Then set them free or take ransom from them until the war is ended." (Sura 47.4) \n\n"Mohammed is Allah's apostle. Those who follow him are ruthless to the unbelievers but merciful to one another." (Sura 48.29)\n\n__________________________________________\n\nPeople perish because of the lack of knowledge.

Biblical Christianity. Islam was started by a man not God who was possesed by a demon while in a cave. Islam has it's roots in polytheism (worship of many gods). Muhammed picked his favorite (allah the moon god) and started a new religion. The quran is not a proven historically accurate book while the Bible has never been disproved by Science, History or Archaeology. Islam is a violent religion that seeks to make converts by any means and has no problems with killing people who don't agree (9/11). Even though Christian history has times where people did horrible things while calling themselves Christians (the inquisition) those who did such things were not true Christians becuase Biblical Christianity presents people with the truth that Jesus died for their sins and He is the only way to heaven. Believe in Him repent of your sins and He will forgive you and give you the gift of eternal life for free. Islam does not promise eternal life and does not offer it for free. Islam does not deal with people's sins and offers no way to be forgiven. Islam is false and I hope those who have been deceived by it's horrible teachings will come to find Jesus as their Savior so they can be forgiven of their sins.\n\nIn Islam the people have to do their best to reach a distant and unloving deity. In Christianity God in His love for His creation reached down to us by sending His Son so we wouldn't have to reach up to Him. He made the way for us.

Because Islam was dreamed up more than six centuries after the time of Christ, Islam denies the divinity of Christ, and as the first respondent pointed out you are arguing languages. and you have no valid basis for it. and blondecow131 you are wrong about Islam accepting either Judaism or Christianity.

The Quran teaches Muslims that Jews and Christians are our brethren in religion. The word "infedels" isn't even in the quran, but the correct word would be Kaffir, which would mean pagan. It says Christians and Jews will also go to heaven, so we must respect them and bring peace. If you feel you hate Muslims based on your ignorance, then you will never get rid of your baised views. Until you actually meet a Muslim and go to a Masjid where they teach Islam, you will never know how we peaceful we truly are. Salaam.

I'm sorry, but I do not agree and have what I spiritually need in my Bible. If Christianity is not for you, what makes you think that Islam is for me?

Certainly, not all of them are are... \n\nIn the cases they are though, so called Muslims (Muslim: believer, Islam: submission to God), believe that Christians are infidels; as in infidelity towards the religion of God as they see it, since they view Mohammad as the last Prophet. \n\nMost of those intolerant are of the elite ecclesiastical class (Imam: teacher), or the utterly ignorant because they're not even allowed to read the Koran or any other of their Holy books (which includes the Christian Bible) - the Koran is according to itself, another chapter of the continuing book of God, i.e. Bible and Torah are included in the Islamic book of God. \n\nMohammad is supposedly a Prophet like Moses, and His followers consequently have behaved like wise in their time, becoming persecutors/persecuted, but not all Jews were, nor are all Muslims today. (The books of Moses: Old testament, speak of a Prophet to arise in the place and time Mohammad did according to tradition "I shall raise up a Prophet, like unto me, Moses". \n\nThose that are not intolerant remember the sayings, or those like it that Mohammad stated "Anyone who harms a Christian or Jew has harmed me!", or "Be friends with the Christians for they are most like you in the world", or when asked what is this God you believe in, Mohammad said "The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob." \n\nAbraham also had the Q'blih "point of adoration", a stone to turn to when praying for those unable to be without an alter, since both were from idol worshipers; as were the Jews before the ten commandments - the commandments Moses received before, He tossed into the water because the people were not ready (a sign of the coming of greater teaching, e.g. with Jesus).\n\nThere's always more to learn and understand. Some Muslims I've met show such Love for Christ that all but two Christians I've met pale by comparison - those two spoke of nothing but the love of God and had no hate for anyone. In generally the Muslims I've met here in the US are every bit as loving toward all, as Christians, and by that standard they are one and the same.

Absolutley not! The Quran is completely against murder and it actually states that if a muslim kills even one person no matter what faith they belong to it is as if he has killed all mankind. Many people believe that the Quran condones murder because of what the media says but the terrorists and suicide bombers do not represent what Islam teaches or even allows. These are extremists that want to use this holy book to corrupt the religion of Islam.

I disagree with Don S that Islam is the perversion of Judaism and Catholicism is the perversion of Christianity.\n\nI believe it is not the religions that promote intolerance, but people themselves who have trouble reconciling the fact that someone can be different and be a good person. \nReligious people who truly believe their faith get along; those who do not allow for tolerance and other beliefs aren't really following their religion.

I know that this is going to sound paradoxical, but I would say that the main reason why they did not tell you the truth about Islam is that they were …Christian...\nEvery criticism of Quran can be matched with equal criticism of the Bible. So Christians are afraid to criticize Quran, because their criticism will also be against their own religion.\n\nCertainly Quran is utterly idiotic; however the Bible is full of idiocy as well. It is really hard to decide which is more absurd: the Muhammad riding his donkey to Heaven where he meets his Allah, or Jesus being born from a virgin, raising from dead or walking on water. Both is retarded, and both keeps the believers in the state of mental retardation.\nWithout any doubt Quran is a fanatical terrorist bloody scripture, and the Bible, too, is a genocidal fanatical scripture. Quran says kill the infidel, the Bible says kill a man who collected some sticks to make a little fire on a Saturday! The “God” of the Bible tell the Jews to exterminate whole nations living in Canaan, men women, even their cattle. The New Testament is a fanatical scripture as well; it clearly states that unless you are saved by Jesus you are going to hell. Either you are with Jesus, or you are against. So there are many parallels between Islam on one hand and Christianity and Judaism on the other. \nJudaism has lost its lethal power because Jews became powerless after being kicked out from their country some 1800 years ago. However Christianity and Islam have committed so many crimes against humanity that it is hard to judge which of these two cults have been more deadly. Both are guilty of genocides, persecution of minorities, repression of women, anti-democratic, anti-human and anti-scientific attitudes. Both are responsible for murder of hundreds of millions of people. \nThe BID difference is that the Western countries are now living in POST-Christian era, while the Muslims are still in the middle of Islamic Dark Ages. \nSo the advantage of Christianity of Islam is only because Christianity is relatively weak and has been to a large degree been replaced with humanism. Still, unfortunately Christianity is a dominating moral force, and very few people have the courage relegate Christianity to a museum where it belongs. Until such time, there will not be political courage to fight Islamic dark ages. Until such time, you will not hear the truth that “Islam is Fascism” that “Muhammad was a pervert, a liar, and a rapist”. \nOF course this is a very condensed answer that does not cover all aspects; it just focuses on one important aspect. I still hope that you read this carefully and consider the merits of what I wrote.\nAnd to my Muslim brothers and sisters, I do not hate Muslims; I hate only the Darkness but not the people (Muslims) who suffer from it. (I too was a Muslim once)\n\n**********************************************8\nOne more thing: I have to do some justice to the Bible and admit, that while from the literary point of view Quran is complete trash, the Bible, on the other hand while also full of trash, also contains parts that are among the worlds most beautiful literature on the same level as Odyssey and Shakespeare.

yes.  a lot of christians and churches have no problem with homosexuality.  look for some liberal churches in your area - they are typically more tolerant of homosexuality.  the bible says a lot of stuff, and if i remember correctly, the passages condemning homosexuality are in the old testament, along with defenses of slavery, and other ridiculous stuff, such as killing non-believers.  it is funny, when asked about the bible's defense of slavery or its calling for the killing of unbelievers, biblical literalists say that the new testament means these practices are no longer permissible.  but the condemnation of homosexuality is written in the old testament along with these practices, why should it not be reconsidered also?  here, i found it (from the website below):\n"The Holiness Code in the Torah permits:\n-slavery (Leviticus 25:44)\n\nThe code requires:\n-a child to be killed if he/she curses their parent (Leviticus 20:9)\n-all persons guilty of adultery to be killed (20:10)\n-the daughter of a priest who engages in prostitution to be burned alive until dead (21:9)\n-the bride of a priest to be a virgin (21:13)\n-ritual killing of animals, using cattle, sheep and goats (22:19)\n-observation of 7 feasts: Passover, Feast of Unleavened Bread, Feast of Firstfruits, Feast of Pentecost, Feast of Trumpets, Day of Atonement, Feast of Tabernacles (23)\n-a person who takes the Lord's name in vain is to be killed (24:16)\n\nThe code prohibits:\n-heterosexual intercourse when a woman has her period (Leviticus 18:19),\n-harvesting the corners of a field (19:9),\n-eating fruit from a young tree (19:23),\n-cross-breeding livestock (19:19),\n-sowing a field with mixed seed (19:19),\n-shaving or getting a hair cut (19:27),\n-tattoos (19:28),\n-even a mildly disabled person from becoming a priest (21:18),\n-charging of interest on a loan (25:37),\n-collecting firewood on Saturday to prevent your family from freezing,\n-wearing of clothes made from a blend of textile materials; today this might be cotton and polyester, and\n-eating of non-kosher foods (e.g. shrimp)."\n\nPersonally, it seems pretty ridiculous to pick and choose which laws from the old testament one is going to follow.  if complete consistency is to be had, either these commandments must all be followed, or homosexuality should stop being singled out.  Practice what you think jesus would practice; this is the essence of christianity, not taking as literally true every part of the bible.\n\np.s.: schneb, are you serious?  jesus is going to vomit lukewarm christians out of his mouth?
