why all main religions (eg Abraham, Jesus, Mahommed) came from one land, why not Europe, America or Africa?

There will be no argument if everybody study the Original version of ..Talmud and the Torah(Judaism), Bible (Christian) and Koran (Islam)...\n\nBecause It came from One God..

Because early Muslim thought included the belief in the superiority of the Arab race. This is why it was stressed that the Arabs were descendants of Ishmael. As Islam spread to non Arab lands or people became Arabized(the Egyptians/North Africans/Syrians etc. originally spoke other languages, not Arabic) the theory of Arab superiority became a theological liability- especially since a majority of Muslims were no longer Arab.\n\nThe language thing is the only thing left in the original Arab master race theory of Islam, other than isolated hadiths.

I don't think so, but they do have the "advantage" of all being of one common heritage.  There is an intrinsic common bond that transcends place of birth.  They are all Jewish and they have the commonality of having suffered for their religion, but they can disagree with each other just like any other group.  But again, in the end, they are all Jews.  Makes it a lot easier to convince everyone when you have that common bond.

I don't see any reason why God couldn't have created a whole bunch of other worlds and put beings of some sort on them. Just because it isn't in the Bible doesn't mean anything. I mean, why should some other world we may never even encounter affect the way we're supposed to do things? If they exist, they've presumably got their own version of the Bible and other holy books.

I was also taught that there were 7:\n\nNorth America, South America, Africa, Asia, Europe, Antarctica, Australia.\n\nI was a student in American schools. I have also heard of the "Eurasia" concept of combining Europe and Asia.  In truth Europe and Asia are ONE continent but because of cultural and physical reasons (meaning Race), early Europeans who first listed the continents wanted to distinguish themselves from Asians and declared Europe a separate continent.

The real reasons seem to go back to the days of the Crusades and following invasion of Europe by Muslims.\nChristians and Muslims have been at each other's throats for centuries.  All in the name of God or Allah as the case may be.

The Bible was written by ancient people who didn't have a clue as to what was going on in the world that they lived in. So now religion makes up excuses for the mistakes in the Bible (the Word of God).If we all came from Adam & Eve where did Black , Chinese, Hispanic Aborigines or other races come from. In college I was told to believe that Black people were the first race . I asked the professor where did Chinese people come from  The professor ( a Black woman) said that they came from the original black people. I asked, "Have you ever heard of a Black family that over the generations have  become Chinese?"  Don't believe everything that's in the bible because there are many mistakes that religions try to ignore.

yup, that's why there are so many different branches of basically the same religion, mormons, jesuit, RC, church of england, jehova's witnesses, ahmish, methodists etc etc. They all follow certain parts of the bible more than others. I've always wondered whether what is written down is accurate or happened at all. A good similie would be chinese whispers on a massive scale. Personally I don't believe in any of it, a massive sceptic here. If there is only one god, why are there so many different religions? Why don't we all believe the same thing?

To believe in one God doesn't mean it should become a part of any religion or the "Creator" meant in each religion is not the same.\nMost of people think that their religion is the right one only because of their FANATICISM to their own faith. and most of them so intolerant to the other religions is only because of their EGO. That is a human characteristic.\n\nI came from Arabian family, my father,a Palestinian is Christian and my mom, a Lebanese is Moslem but we live so tolerant and respect to the difference of our faith. We belive that we pray to the only one same GOD, the creator of this universe.

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!

No because the Jews came from a very distinct family line.  It started with Abraham and then through Jacob which God later names Israel. There were many people on the Earth when Abraham was around.

Because that would be costly, chaotic and just one big problem!  There are too many religions, cultures, etc...If all of these people were forced to live in one country, war would be inevitable and a lot of lives would be lost.  As long as people are different, there can not be world peace.  Sad, but true.

Islam isn't really an "offshoot" of Judaism. And Judaism predates Islam by thousands of years.

When you pick up specifics out of the biblical or Koranic history, these may seem unrelated or even contradictory. However to get the real essence of this try reading the genesis book or the koranic description of Adam, the angels and his exile to the earth.\n\nA succession of prophets from Adam to Mohammed and related events that bind major religions like Judaism, Christianity and Islam together. If all the prophets are given equal importance things are better understood. Both Jews and Muslims do not believe in the son-of-god theory though muslim rever Jesus as one of their own prophet. Despite Moses prophecieing the coming of "messiah" which came as Jesus, jews are still waiting for him. \n\nThe basic concept of all religions is :\n\n1. Presence of one Supreme  being\n2. Tenets to keem social order in the world.\n\nFaith and things like that are hightened to make people follow the straight path.\n\nHope this gives you some insight.

While I don't place any stock in the Biblical creation story, it is silly to say that Adam belonged to any religion whatsoever. There were no religions at the time stated in the Bible. Even Judaism didn't start until Abraham.
