The Ontario Consultants (2008) Web site, Messianic Jews believe in the Messiah, the trinity, salvation and sin; which differs greatly from traditional Jews that believe the Messiah has yet to come. Messianic Judaism followers believe in the Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit, the virgin birth of Yeshua, his sinless life, his resurrection, his future Second Coming, and his salvation, which makes them Christians not Jews. The History of Messianic Judaism goes back as far as the First Century CE (Ontario Consultants, 2008). In the First Century, there were numerous sects of Judaism; Pharisees, Sadducees, Zealots, Boethusians, Essenes, and the list could go on and on. The First Christians were called Nazarenes, which were Jews that listened to the message that Yeshua of Nazareth was teaching and began to follow his word.
Were the Sadducees, Zealots, Essenes and Pharisees Jewish? Didn’t they originate from the mindset of another individual? Didn’t they build their faith and believes on the interpretation of that one person who decided to practice a different way of Judaism than the others? Many are of the opinion that Jesus wanted to destroy the law and implement his own. Since his apprenticeships partially cancel the Jewish laws, he is not considered being Jewish by many Jews.
Judaism is a religion based of Jewish people, the chosen ones. Judaism is based many different principales and ethics that come from the Hebrew Bible. But Judaism is not as simple as it seems. There are multiple branches of Judaism which include; ultra-orthodox, orthadox, conservative, reform, reconstructionist, humanistic, and Flexidox. All these branches have many similarities and differences.
By stating that his followers should have no other gods, God is proclaiming that Jews, Christians and Muslims should not believe in other religions that are not monotheistic. Since the Jewish, Christian and Muslim religions only believe in one god, all the powers of a doctrine are invested in him. This means that God has supreme power and cannot be contested by anyone else. It is evident from the Ten Commandments
Islam was founded in Mecca, Saudi Arabia by the Prophet Adam. Like Islam, Judaism is also the belief in one God who they call Jehovah. It originated in the nation of Hebrews from which God gave the Torah to Moses and Abraham. Both of these Religions refuse the use of any statues or pictures because you can’t depict the image of prophets and God. Also Islam and Judaism believe in eternal life in Paradise or Hell depending on the good deeds you do in your life on earth.
Christianity and Judaism’s similarities and differences are made up of important factors such as the set of religions’ modern day practices, beliefs based off of their early origins, and their political roles and place of power in the ancient world. Christianity and Judaism both share many, little social factors that clearly distinguish their differences and similarities. A social factor that shows differences between the two religions would be their form of worship services. They vary, for example Christians attend churches on Sundays, were the mass is led by a priest who reads prayers from the Holy Bible. As for the Jews, their holy days are from Friday p.m. - Saturday p.m. were they attend a worship service at a synagogue, which is led by Rabbis as opposed to the Christian’s priest.
We have no idea of where Melchizedek came from, how he came to be in Canaan, how he came to be a worshipper and priest of the true God, and how Abram came to know about him. We only know he was there. The name Melchizedek means “king of righteousness.” He is the king of Salem, and Salem is the original Jerusalem, and
I know most consider Pentecostal Christian religious people are outside the normal realms of sanity. I grew up Pentecostal and I have never used snakes in my services and nor would I ever use snakes. Most believe Pentecostal women wear dresses or skirts, don’t wear makeup, or even cut their hair when in fact I did all of those while still attending church. We were considered non-strict Pentecostal denominations. As I have learned though research there are different sects of the Jewish faith that have broken on from the Orthodox views and do believe Jesus is the messiah and they some also believe in eating all
J.J.Catchings Mr. Tucker 10-28-10 5th Comparing & Contrasting: Christianity & Islam There are a lot of similarities between the two religions Christianity and Islam. Religions are beliefs, service, and worship in a god or gods. Religious views can affect your way of life, personality, and thought process. Christianity is one of the world’s largest religions; it is based on the teachings and miracles of Jesus. Islam is also one of the world’s largest religions; it is the teaching that one can find peace in one’s life by submitting to god in soul, heart, and deed.
The oneness of God, the prophethood of Muhammad, and the concept of life postmortem are the rudimental articles of its faith. They are predicated on reason and sound logic. All of the teachings of Islam flow from those basic beliefs and are simple and straightforward. There is no hierarchy of priests, no farfetched abstractions, no perplexed rites or rituals. Muslims believe that god is one while most Christians believe that God is three persons in one and most Jews believe that Aliazer is the son of god.
