That can be your take and I will respect your right to see it that way. Can you respect mine to believe what it says?... Jim

Moses is thus one of the most influential men in human history. Even so, for well over a century, Moses has come under fire from both scholars and clerics. Many challenge the belief not only that Moses performed miracles and led the Israelites out of Egypt but also that he even existed. \n\nAt first glance, such skepticism might seem to have merit. For example, critics observe that archaeological proof has been found to confirm the existence of such Bible personages as Israelite King Jehu, but no archaeological evidence has been found to confirm the existence of Moses. This is hardly proof that Moses is a myth, however. Skeptics once argued that others mentioned in the Bible, such as Babylonian King Belshazzar and Assyrian King Sargon, were likewise myths—until archaeology later confirmed their historicity.\n\nAuthor Jonathan Kirsch reminds us: “The remnants and relics of biblical Israel are so sparse that the utter absence of Moses in any source except the Bible itself is neither surprising nor decisive.” According to Kirsch, some thus argue that it is unlikely that Moses could be a mere figment of someone’s imagination, since “a life story so rich in detail and dialogue, so complex . . . , could not have been made up.”\n\nAs for the lack of archaeological evidence for the wilderness sojourn, we must remember that the Jews were nomads. They built no cities; they planted no crops. Presumably, they left behind little more than footprints. Still, convincing evidence of that sojourn can be found within the Bible itself. Reference is made to it throughout that sacred book. (1 Samuel 4:8; Psalm 78; Psalm 95; Psalm 106; 1 Corinthians 10:1-5) Significantly, Jesus Christ also testified that the wilderness events took place.—John 3:14.\n\nUnquestionably, then, the Bible’s account of Moses is credible, truthful. Even so, he lived a long time ago

Not everyone believes in Jesus, people choose religions which are relevant to their lives.  Many people don't identify with Christianity, whereas the teachings of Mohammed seem to attract a lot of people.

Yes it does appear that Christians and Jews borrowed some of the Egyptians ideas, there are similarities between the 10 commandments and the Egyptian book of the dead, the story of Jesus and the story of Horus, and there is even a theory that has a strong point of argument that Moses was actually the Egyptian prince Tuthmosis or the Pharaoh Amenhotep IV.  Tuthmosis was supposedly a prince during the rule of the pharaoh Akhenanten.  This was Amenhotep IV who changed his name to Akhenanten and who tried to change the Egyptian culture by declaring that from then on there was only one true god, Aten, and that Amen-Ra and the other gods should no longer be worshiped.  Apparently this idea was not embraced by the majority of Egypt.

I believe that Jesus is not a God.....He was a Prophet for Israelites but he was took by God to the Sky....the people that crussified by Israelites with help by Romans was his betrayal follower or Hawariyyin named Yahuza .....it took so long...but i believe that Jesus is Prophet and about his marriage with Mary Magdalene.....i was a lil' bit blur about it...

I don't think Christians reject Muhammad at all, just as they don't reject any other prophet in the Old Testament.\nChristians just believe that Jesus is "the Way, the Truth and the Life".  That's all.

I think that if Jesus walked the Earth as a human again He would fail to recognize many "Christians" as His followers.  Many have strayed far from His message of love, into hate and intolerance.  This includes those who use their Bibles to attack others.\n\nIt's certain that most if not all of his followers would not know him.  But I hope that some would treat Him with respect and dignity, as many have promised to do for all people, at their baptism.  \n\nAs far as that goes, most of the followers of Islam might not recognize Mohammed, either, for many of the same reasons.\n\nIn the Bible, God or His messengers are always showing up incognito.  Those who treat the messengers well are blessed, because they are the kind of people who treat everyone, even strangers, with respect and dignity.

True!\n\nWe believe each and every verse in Quran is from Allah and is TRUE!\n\n Or say you that Ibrâhim (Abraham), Ismâ'il (Ishmael), Ishâque (Isaac), Ya'qûb (Jacob) and Al-Asbât [the twelve sons of Ya'qûb (Jacob)] were Jews or Christians? Say, "Do you know better or does Allâh (knows better… that they all were Muslims)? And who is more unjust than he who conceals the testimony [i.e. to believe in Prophet Muhammad Peace be upon him when he comes, written in their Books. (See Verse 7:157)] he has from Allâh? And Allâh is not unaware of what you do."

Yes, Muslims are the truest believers of God. Muslims believe in strict monothesim, as well as belief in prophets that God sent. If you look at Judaism, they believe in their prophets, but won't accept the Christian Porphets. If you look at Christianity, they accept the Jewish prophets and their own, but won't accept Muhammad as God's prophet. And if you look at Islam, Muslims accept all three religion's prophets, and views them all equally. No other faith in the world will accept other religion's prophets as equals.

Stansky is pretty much right. Isa is not Jesus and Islamic mentions of Jesus are not the true Jesus of the Bible. Islam says there is a Jesus but they do not believe He is the Son of God so theire teachings about Him are false. The true Jesus the Son of God whom the Bible teaches about will return to Zion which is an Old Testament name for Jerusalem. He will return at the end of the tribulation and set foot on the Mount of Olives which is in Jerusalem (Zion)When Jesus returns He will set up His kingdom on earth and will reign. After a thousand years satan will lead a final rebellion which God will crush and then the day of judgment will come and Jesus will judge.

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

If it is the false prophet the Dante dipicts, then it is not Mohammed.  Check out the book of Revelation, this will talk about the false prophet and the antichrist.  Neither of which have taken power on the earth.  Keep watching though, it won't be long before they will emerge.

perhaps not in the way the modern Christians think. however, there were several Prophets of THE PEOPLE who talked to various tribes of THE PEOPLE talking about the same basic concepts JESUS did. such as the PEACE-BRINGER who talked to the Five Civilized Tribes and Hiawatha ( who actually existed ).

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...

Islam and Christianity are both monotheistic faiths(One GOD). The Koran even mentions people like Moses, Noah, Adam & Eve, Isaiah, and Jesus. But they differ on who Jesus actually was. So if christians believe that Jesus is Divine and Muslims don't then they don't worship the same God. Judaism should also be included. but again they differ on the subject of Jesus.

Jesus is the true Son of God. Mohammad is nothing but a false prophet.
