how do the scriptures of Islam, Judaism, and Christanity compare?
146742
Contrary to many unitarian concepts, they are VERY VERY different. they all come from the same center, but branch off. Much like siblings, you cannot say Christianity is just like Islam, nor that Judaism is just like Islam. These are all siblings who are grown now, and very VERY different.\n\nIslam depicts more of a vengeful, restrictive god.\nJudaism depicts a god of miracles, a god for whom many sacrifices must be made, but they're worth it.\nChristianity depicts a merciful, forgiving god (excluding catholics here), The only cost being that we follow him as a friend.\n\nThese are all different viewpoints, and are very reflective of the seperate cultures.

Ignore that last mess of information..\n\nthose three religions supposedly worship same God... First Came the Jews... they had moses.. their book is the torah... then, one day.. Jesus came... The Jews said no, you are not from God or God.. you know what happened next.. Then the Christians Started their own religion and their own set of holey books based on Jesus's life... Then, another guy named mohammed came along.. he said he was a prophet of God..The Christians and jews said.. i don't think so.. you are a fake... anyway.. his followers became known as the muslims.. has nothing to with the MOOON... Islam in arabic means peace.. has nothing to do with the moon... Moving on... The muslims have the quran... The muslims believe in same God as Christians and Jews... but they do not use same holey book...\n\nMAIN POINT...don’t' listen to what crazies out there say... All three have same god... but all look at things differently... Jews dont  believe in jesus, the are still waiting for him to come... The Christians believe Jesus is either God or the son of god and they do not believe that mohammed has anything to do with God... that he's a false messenger.. The muslims believe in Moses and Jesus.. but only as prophets of god... and They believe they believe in Quran only as source of information about God..\n\nThey should all just really learn to get along with one another.... you can't be religious and full of hate at the same time...

I am a Christian and I have the Quran translated in English that I read.  My fiance is muslim and I am going to Jordan to marry him and I want to learn more about the religion.  I don't see much of a differnece between the Bible and the Quran.  The only difference between the Quran and the Bible that I can see is that to the Muslims, Jesus is only a prophet and not a savior.  I may change my religion to islam later on in my marriage, but I still pray to Jesus.  Go to Barnes and Noble and get a copy of the Quran translated into English and see for yourself.

Compared to Christianity, Judaism can be verified just by reading scripture in plain language. When in Judaism there is a belief in one God, the Torah backs this up with no questions. Unlike Christianity where a 'trinity' is a 'mystery' and never answered satisfactorily.\n\nAnd in other places, were men are chosen to be prophets, they dont claim to be God in the flesh, they are simply men. And there is no double talk if one is under the Law of God or not, even if it is perfect.\n\nComparing the two, Judaism is more straight forward than Christianity and in turn, not ridiculed as much.

The Jewish 'bible' is the Christian Old Testament. We recognize Moses and Abraham and basically everyone in the Old Testament as true men of God. We differ on the person of Jesus Christ. The Jews, overall, reject Him as the true messiah. Whereas Christians believe He's the one that was to come. We're both monotheists, meaning, we believe there's only one true God. Unlike Hindus who believe in many gods.

Bible is the real word of God . Bible is written in cronologic order ,Ouran is not ,and there is truth in the Bible  becouse what prophets predicted in the Old Testament, became true in The New testament . Bible can be translated in all languages of the earth without loosing its meaning , ( Quran cannot be translated without loosing its meaning ) altough  muslims says there are manny versions of Bible ,all version of the Bible carry the same messages .The difference between versions are due to the translations ,are small and insignifiant ,u will not find one single Bible saying that Jesus is not Son of God . Muslims just use those small differents between different translations to attack the Bible .Quran is just a pathethic copy of Bible containing manny historical errors ,contradicting flagrant with the Bible . All prophets from the Bible got their revelations from God directly without any intermediars only Mohamed got his revelations trough an angel . Bible warned us do not trust another Evangelia even if an angel bring it !! Becouse satan can change himself into an angel of light just to deceive people !2 Corinthians 11:13-15 For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.\nMatthew 24:11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. \n\nIn Matthew 24 Daniel 11:31 9:27 12:11 and Revelation 14:9 We are warned of one who will come, who will set about to deceive the whole world !!

The world is an illusion and Islam is the reality. The Qur'an is an eye-opener:\n"The same religion has He established for you as that which He enjoined on Noah - the which We have sent by inspiration to thee - and that which We enjoined on Abraham, Moses, and Jesus: Namely, that ye should remain steadfast in religion, and make no divisions therein: to those who worship other things than Allah, hard is the (way) to which thou callest them. Allah chooses to Himself those whom He pleases, and guides to Himself those who turn (to Him)."\nAl-Qur'an, 042.013

I am not saying that your argument is wrong and you may have a point but that only lead you to another thing to proove. If you believe that the Bible was altered by comparing it to the Torah, how sure are you then that the Torah was not altered? Your statement indicates that the Torah is never altered and that's the reason why you compared the writings of the Bible to it, right? Now, why then do you believe that the Torrah has not been altered while the Muslims say otherwise. That authority is even being put to the test by other faiths. They claim that both the Torah and the Holy Bible have been corrupted. So, that leaves you another question to answer and I think you have to proove that too. If then you have proven that the Torah has been altered too, naturally you will have another option to consider and that is to revert to Islam and find out if it too is really a true religion. I wish you good luck.

Islam\n"Surrender, submitting." Islam is the name of the true religion, according to the Qur'an. One who submits to God is a Muslim. The same root (*slm) as salam "peace." There are five or six central Islamic beliefs: monotheism, revelatory scriptures, angels, prophets, eschatology and (not always) predestination.

The Fundemental differences are only slight.\n\nJews, in theory, still obey the law of Moses... most don't and there are hundreds of diferent types of jew.  They are awaiting a messiah to recommence the kingdom of david on Earth.\n\nChristians believe this messiah has been and gone and was called Jesus - who was God, or the son of God.  As such, unlike jews, Christians believe in an afterlife in the here and now. As in, you go straight to heaven when dead. They believe he brought a new covenant and was not only a Jewish messiah, but for all people.\n\nMuslims believe that Jesus was a Messiah, but not God. They believe in an Afterlife in the here and now, but believe that Muhammad was the last of the prophets.  he was needed because Jews and Christians allowed their holy texts to be altered, and a new unchangable text was needed - the Quran. (Koran). They also believe that the best way to live a life is to follow the example, or sunnah, of any prophet, but especially that of Muhammad - the seal of the prophets.

There are four versions, and I mean by "version" accepted cannon and not translations because obviously there are thousands of those, of what people refer to as the "Bible". The Catholic version, which has 73 books in it. The Protestant version, which has 66 books in it. The Coptic version, which has 75 books in it. And the Jewish version, which has 49 books in it. These four versions cover two specific faiths, Christianism and Judaism. Of all those books NOT ONE original document or even a known trustwothy COPY of an original document exists. Of the five major world monotheistic faiths (Christianism, Islam, Judaism, Bahai, and Sikh) only ONE can rightly claim and prove via historical documentation, that in turn can be proved correct, that its Holy Book has never been altered or ammended. And that faith is Islam. The Koran is a beautiful Holy Book, filled with light and wisdom. I own various translations and at least one copy in Arabic (true Koran) that was a gift to me from the Saudi Arabian Embassy. I've read the Koran more than any other religious text. I am not Muslim. BUT ... I am honest with myself and others. A lack of honesty and open mindedness on my part would in no way alter the Truth. And the Truth is that Holy Koran IS the ONLY uncorrupted religious text in existance today. People of faith need to be honest enough to admit that and open minded enough to read it, and THAT with an open mind. They are not being fair to THEMSELVES when they make a decision about a thing without first having investigated it. ~ Peace & Blessings ~

Well the message of the books 'were' same before Bible got corrupted...and now there is no such similarietis in both books as Quran ask no where to worship three gods.  As Torah , Bible and Quran are from same God thts why  there is possibility that you get same section somewhere though you can't find true bible anywhere.

To think that they are all similar is to distort and edit their message.  They are all very different, aside from the fact that they all claim to believe in the same God:  The one and only true God.\n\nAside from this they are quite different, although they are closely linked historically.\n\nJudaism is by far the oldest:  We don't know how long ago that some early Israelites began to believe in one unearthly god named "Yahweh" instead of all of the many earthly gods that other cultures worshiped.\n\nBut we know they started writing down what would become the "Old Testament" around 800 BCE.\n\nThen, about 800 years later in 30 CE, a firebrand reformist Jew arrived on the world stage.  He cast demons out of people and healed the sick and taught that God was about to bring His kingdom to earth soon.  This man was named Yeshua bar Yehosef (Jesus to you and me).  He had a profound effect on everyone who knew him and when he came to Jerusalem to preach at the Temple, he alarmed the Jewish and Roman authorities so much that they feared revolt (High Priest Caiaphas feared a religious "revolt", while Procurator Pontius Pilate feared a civil disobedience uprising at best, and a military uprising at worst).  Jesus was executed but his movement changed and grew into what we now call Christianity.\n\nThen, almost 600 years later, in 610 CE, an Arab man named Mohammed* claimed that the Archangel Michael visited him in a city called Mecca and had begun to recite to him the final message to mankind from God.\n\nThe Archangel Michael is an important figure in both Judaism and Christianity.  And from the beginning, Mohammed's teachings claimed to be a continuation and a completion of the work "Yahweh" had begun with the prophets of Judaism and with Jesus of Nazareth.\n\nMuslims think that Jesus is just a man, not God Himself in human form.  They think that Jesus was very important and was "anointed" by God to perform God's work -- but they don't think Jesus died for our sins.  In fact, Mohammed's ideas about what Jesus taught and what the life of Jesus meant are very different from orthodox Christianity.\n\nWhen Muslims speak of "Allah", they mean the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.  They mean the same God who parted the Red Sea for Moses and the same God that Jesus called "Father".\n\nHowever, to think that Islam unifies all three of these religions, you must first discard just about everything Jesus says in the Gospels.\n\nHere are just a few examples of the conflicts between Jesus' teachings and the teachings of Islam:\n\n-- Jesus rejected laws about food, saying that what came OUT of your mouth makes you "unclean", not what you put IN your mouth.  Islam still maintains the old food taboos against pork, shellfish, and other foods very carefully.\n\n-- One of Jesus' first miracles was to turn water into wine.  The gospels show Jesus drinking wine all the time (though he never drank to get drunk).  And, BTW, this was not grape juice:  without refrigeration grape juice quickly becomes a fly-infested sticky mess.  Islam condemns all consumption of alcohol.\n\n-- More importantly, Jesus tells us not to fight with the evil man, but rather to fight him with kindness.  Jesus NEVER preached war but only love and understanding and compassion.  Jesus spoke angrily against those who did unjust and wicked things, but he never advocated killing them.  Islam, however, claims that Allah wants people to be killed for all kinds of reasons.  It is true that you can be a Christian and still support war and the death penalty -- just don't say that Jesus wants it.  War and retribution may be necessary in this world, but they are all part of our original sinful condition.\n\nSHORT ANSWER:  These religions are linked by history but all have very different and conflicting beliefs not only about morality and about God, but even about what real historical

The Qur'an is supposedly God's message delivered to Mohammed.\n\nThe Hadith are recollections of things Mohammed said and did.\n\nBoth are a source of sharia law.

There are a lot of similarities between Islam and Mormonism.  Both have stories of angelic visitations to a founding prophet who was told that Christianity in general had apostatized and that the truth would be restored.  Both religions acknowledge Old and New Testament prophets as significant but that the Bible is ultimately incomplete.\n\nMuslims and Mormons share a similar code of health and standards of dress and conduct, so Muslims and Mormons feel that they can mingle at dances without having their standards threatened.
