2. How are the monotheistic religions (Judaism, Christianity, and Islam) different?

Answer 1

These 3 religions have similar concepts and origins. All 3 derive from Abrahamism as in all 3 relgions view Abraham as a prophet. They all originate from the Middle East as well as carrying the same concept that there is only 1 God who is the ultimate creator of the universe.

Despite coming from the same prophet (Abraham) The 3 abarahamic religions have many differences through their beliefs and core values For examples, Christians see Jesus as the son of god, Muslims do not see Jesus as the true son of god but view him as a prophet, and Jews do not recognize the coming of Jesus at all. Another example can be their view understanding between church and state/country with many Muslims believing that religion should be united with government, and many Judaisms and Christians believing that their religions should stay seperated (Although with these die hard traditional and conservative christians in America they tend to share the same belief that christianity should be united with state). The 3 even share differences in their main worship days with Muslims having theirs on friday, Jews having theirs on saturday and Christians having theirs on Sunday.

It's always important since many fail to acknowledge this that they all come from one another (through Abraham) despite their many differences and views of each other now

Answer 2

1. All 3 religions shared the same principle in that one god existed. Their same principles like peace and justice were shared among the 3 religions.

2. Judaism and Islam do not recognize the divinity of Jesus. Judaism reject the notion of God in human form. The three religions used different scriptures such as the Old and New Testament and the Quran.
