When distilled down, do Christians, Muslims, and Jews worship the same God?

[heartsurgeon]

in a word -- yes.

all I know is Jews > Christians, Catholics as far as timeline is concerned...other than that, I think they're all the same GOD. I could be wrong though.

Dude . . . that is so foul. Catholics ARE Christians . . . just like Mormons . . . OK maybe not Mormons.

mormons claim they are christian, but that thing about baptizing the dead really makes me wonder.

IMO: YES

Judaism is the oldest of the three religions.
Christianity spawned from Judaism. Christ was originally a Jew. Judaism does not recognize Christ as the Son of God nor the New Testament. This is where Judaism and Christianity parted ways in history.
Islam spawned form Muhammed. If I remember correctly, Islam also perpetrates the belief that the Arab people are descended from Abraham. Either him or someone no more than thrice removed from Eve, I forget. Muhammed is recognized as a Prophet of God in Islam only. This is where Islam parted ways with Christianity. I think Islam recognizes Christ, but I could be wrong.

Anyway, as far as I know that's the basic breakdown. I may be wrong on some points, but I'm pretty sure about the order which came first in history.

P.S. I prescribe to none of the above religions. (Sorry! >.< )

Islam recognizes Jesus as a prophet but due to the rules of priority it's always the latter prophet that counts more.

 

[Apathetic]

Yes, they worship the same God.

If you look at it like a TV show:

Consider Judaism to be "All In The Family."

Christianity and Islam are like "Archie Bunkers Place" and "The Jeffersons."

In other words, they all started with Judaism. Christianity and Islam are simply spin offs of Judaism.

Who would be "MEAT HEAD"????

Ummmm.... Jehovas Witnesses 😛?

As to the question at hand: yes the god is the same. It went something like this:

jews worshipped the god of Torah (The Old Testament). Jesus was sent by god to teach the jews the new message of god (AKA: the New Testament). Jews rejected that message, and that's the difference between judaism and christianity.

If I remember correctly, Jesus said that there w&iacute;ll be even greater Prophet than he in the future. Muslims feel that Mohammed was that. They acknowledge Jesus as a great prophet (altrough not literally a son of god), but they think that Mohammed was the greates prophet. And that's where christianity and islam differ.

In simpler terms: islam is to christianity what christianity is to judaism

Disclaimer: I'm agnostic myself and I don't believe in god as such.

I guess the real definition is that they do not know whether there is a god or not 😛. That it couldn't be proven one way or anothger. I myself don't know that is there a god(s), and I don't really care.

Atheists believe that there is no god. Agnostics don't know whether there is a god or not.

Hindu's believe in one God too.


I thought there is only one God?

Hindus are henotheistic (although not an exactly accurate term), sort of like some denominations of Buddhism. (Actually, Buddhism probably got this idea from Hinduism.)

There are many Hindu gods but some "major" gods stand out. My knowledge in this area is very limited but I know enough to say that it is not monotheistic.

Monotheism, I found, is in fact very unique to Judeo-Christian-Islamic tradition. Based on my understanding of other religions, monotheism is not found anywhere else. There are some Christians and Christian historians who distort history and claim that their ancestors believed in "the God," though. This is complete bs.

actually that isn't true. Hindus believe in one god, that takes on various forms. In the end, its one God though.
