Monotheism is the belief that there is only but one God. God is an infinite spirit that is changeless and timeless, etc. In Exodus 3:14, God said to Moses, “I AM WHO I AM”; and He said, “Thus you shall say to the sons of Israel, ‘I AM has sent me to you.’ ” What this means is that what God has is what he is. God’s features are different in our minds but not in reality. The belief that there was only one God caused the formation the Doctrine of the Trinity.
(Heb. 6:1 faith is the substance of things hope for and the evidence of things not seen.

It seems that people in all cultures have a set of beliefs that go beyond both the self and the natural world. These beliefs are used to help explain reasons for human existence and to guide personal relationships and behaviour. Many current religions take previous traditions and beliefs and adapt them to fit the way of life lived by the majority of the population, today, in the 21st century. However some still take their sacred texts literally, and incorporate them into their everyday lives, seeing them as a set of instructions and rules, rather than a metaphorical meaning to life. This is evident in Hinduism, the predominant religion of southern Asia.
CHRISTIANITY VS. JUDAISM Christianity and Judaism are religions that are each very unique. Although they both have plenty of differences, they also have similarities. In fact they probably have more in common than some of the other major religions in the world, such as Hinduism, Buddhism, and Islam.

In Christianity it is believed that Jesus Christ was the savior to all humanity and was sent to Earth by his father (God) to pay for the sins of all mankind.
This book is much like what most Christians use called the Holy Bible. They both contain scriptures that are believed to be actually sent from God and is God’s word and will. Jehovah’s Witnesses also Use and distribute a publication called the Watchtower. They use the Watchtower to go over certain subjects such as avoiding premarital sex and the grieving process when losing a loved one. Christians believe that there is only one God.
These range from simple religious followings such as each individual needs to go into the community and attempt to spread the word of their teachings at least three days a week, men are not allowed facial hair, all the way to how to lead their lives and whom they can and cannot speak to. Christians have 10 main commandments (rules) that all sects or denominations follow. None of these prohibit any such thing like which people they can or cannot speak to, but instead the Christian religion encourages followers to speak to others no matter who they are or what their background is. Christianity encourages its followers to also go into the community and spread the word of God, but does not put a number of days a week you must do so in order to be a part of their faith or be
Created about 4000 years ago, Judaism was the only religion that did pray to only one God. Other religions prayed to more than one God making them polytheistic.

In many other types of they also have things that are sacred and have many different types of rituals. Many religions have many different types of traditions that they follow.

Both believe in one ruler over all, both believe in a good place (heaven) and bad place (hell) after death, and both believe in guidance through spiritual leaders(prophets), to name a few. Another reason I believe Natives practices have not been abandon is because their culture is inextricably linked and connected with Mother Earth. The land, the plants, the animals, and all around contain their culture, spirit, and identity; all working together to create a balance of harmony (Page 68).
