The Golden Rule exists in most religions...said slightly different in each religion but with always the same meaning.

I have learned a lot from other religions.  The similarities show what could potentially be universal truth.  The differences show what is probably just subjective.

Christianity is like Judaism plus some extras.  Plus, Christians believe that after Christ came, the traditional Jewish law of sacrifices and certain other laws were no longer needed; they served a purpose, but Christ fulfilled that purpose once and for all (to atone for sins).  So there are parts of it that Christians also accept and believe, like the 10 commandments and the one God, but they also believe in the divinity of Jesus and his death and resurrection as the ultimate sacrifice.

Differences between the two religions began the day Abraham separated Ishmael and Hagar his mother from Isaac and Sarah, the progenitors of these faiths.  Both religions believe in the same monotheistic God, but views on how to relate and otherwise commune with Him differ drastically.  Christianity teaches that Jesus is the only way to God, Islam teaches that Jesus was not God Incarnate, but rather a prophet of Allah, who at the end of time will come back to proclaim Islam the true religion.

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.

Hello! Okay im a muslim and i will tell you what muslims believe: "we believe that all prophets peace be upon them (Jesus, moses, abraham, lut, joseph...etc) came with true religions from Allah (God) but coz torah and bible are being modified so much then we think it's no longer the same true religion it used to be" i respect you and i respect your religion but islam is the only religion that is not modified so it's so pure and true as it first came...

There were many religions before Christianity. Judaism is one, just the Old Testament. Other religions have multiple Gods and Goddesses. Some have none. Christianity is not the only and not the first and maybe not even the right religion.

Western religion (Christian, Judaic, Islamic) is monotheistic and point-to-point, i.e. has a start and finish.\nEastern religion is poly- or non-theistic and is cyclic.

Well, I'm Christian. There are a lot of Muslims who practice Islam. There's also Catholic, Jewish, Buddhism, Hinduism, and many more.

Christians use the creation story from the Jewish Bible -- Genesis.  The main difference is that Jews do not believe in "original sin."  We believe that all humans are created as a blank slate -- we become good/evil according to our choices and actions.\n.

Judaism(Christianity) and Zoroasrtianism are both revealed religions and share a great deal in common. God imparts his revelation and pronounces his commandments to Zoroaster on "the Mountain of the Two Holy Communing Ones"; in the other Yahweh holds a similar communion with Moses on Sinai. \n\nAccording to jewishencyclodedia.com the points of resemblance between Zoroastrianism and Judaism are many. In both faiths God is omniscient, omnipresent, and eternal, and creator of the universe. \n\nGod operates through and governs the universe with the use of angels and archangels. This presents a parallel to Yahweh that is found in the Old Testament. The Zoroastrianism Spenta Mainyu is the Christian "Holy Spirit." \n\nAhura Mazda's power is hampered by Ahriman (the Devil) and his host of demons. Their dominion like Satan's will be destroyed at the end of the world. The world is the Devil's domain. Zoroastrian eschatological teachings-the doctrines of a regenerate world, a perfect kingdom, the coming of a Messiah, the resurrection of the dead, and the life everlasting are nearly identical to Christianity.

The 3 major religions of the world (Islam, Jewish, Christianity) all follow a specific book. Many others have their 'holy' and/or spiritual literature to follow.  Any spiritually focused book could be considered 'holy' in one context or another.

Just looked thru' some of your answers and saw the usual crop of religous nuts claiming their's was the only true path. After a lifetime study of comparative theology I have come to the conclusion that all the world's religions contain the same central core of truth:- Love God, and love your neighbour. Everything else is just window-dressing!

Muslims believe in OneUnique, Incomparable God; in the Angels created by Him; in the prophets through whom His revelations were brought to mankind; in the Day of Judgement and individual accountability for actions; in God's complete authority over human destiny and in life after death. Muslims believe in a chain of prophets starting with Adam and including Noah, Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, Job, Moses, Aaron, David, Solomon, Elias, Jonah, John the Baptist, and Jesus, peace be upon them. But God's final message to man, a reconfirmation of the eternal message and a summing-up of all that has gone before was revealed to the Prophet Muhammad through Gabriel.\n\nA true Muslim must accept 5 main articles of faith. These are known as the shahada (witness) :\n\nlst Article : Belief in Allah as the one true God. This is a strict, numerical monotheism. A Muslim looks at the Judeo-Christian view of a unity in the Godhead with contempt.\n\n2nd Article : Belief in angels as instruments of God's will. Mohammed allegedly received his revelation from the angel Gabriel.\n\n3rd Article : Belief in the 4 inspired books - the Torah (5 books of Moses), the Zabur (the psalms), the lnjil (the gospel), and the final revelation, the Koran.\n\nMuslims claim that the Koran has been kept perfectly unlike the Christian Bible. While they claim to respect the Bible, they also believe that it has been corrupted. The Muslims make incredible claims about their writings and will always compare our Bible to the Koran for testing the truth. However, many of their claims cannot be substantiated and scholars have decidedly proven them untrue.\n\n4th Article : Belief in the 28 prophets of Allah, Mohammed being the last and the greatest.\n\nAccording to Islam, there are 124,000 prophets (Note: No one has ever seen the listing of names) which comprised the history of the human race, but there are 28 main prophets which include : Adam, Noah, Moses, David, Solomon, and Jesus. Jesus is viewed as just another prophet in line with the others.\n\n5th Article : Belief in a final Day of Judgment.\n\nOnly those who obey Allah and his prophet can enter into Heaven (hopefully). All others will be sent to Hell.\n\nSo, if one wants to become a Muslim they need to say the shahada, bearing witness that there is no god but Allah and Mohammed is his prophet. The Islamic believer must perform good works which will be weighed at the end of their life. If Allah is graceful and merciful, the Muslim will enter Heaven. However, the Koran teaches that Allah is arbitrary in passing out his mercy, and no one has any guarantee of making it. The only sure way to make it to Heaven is if the Muslim dies in a Jihad. Only then will they go directly to Heaven. This is their only assurance for salvation. This explains why so many Muslims willingly give their lives in terroristic acts for their cause.\n\nMuslims also have 5 main pillars of Faith and they are;\n\n1. FAITH\nThere is no god worthy of worship except God and Muhammad is His messenger. This declaration of faith is called the Shahada.\n\n2. PRAYER\nSalah is the name for the obligatory prayers which are performed five times a day, and are a direct link between the worshipper and God.\n\n3. THE "ZAKAT"\nOne of the most important principles of Islam is that all things belong to God, and that wealth is therefore held by human beings in trust. The word zakat means both 'purification' and 'growth'. Our possessions are purified by setting aside a proportion for those in need, and, like the pruning of plants, this cutting back balances and encourages new growth.\n\n4. THE FAST\nEvery year in the month of Ramadan, all Muslims fast from first light until sundown, abstaining from food, drink, and sexual relations. Those who are sick, elderly, or on a journey, and women who are pregnant or nursing are permitted to break the fast and make up an equal number of days later in the year. If they are physically

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.
