Islam, the youngest religion in all three, was founded by Muhammad. In Islam, Muhammad is the last and the greatest prophet of the God and received revelations from the God. Muhammad agreed with some elements in Judaism and he was familiar with Christianity. He preached the messages which he believed was sent by God in Arabic countries. After all the messages were collected and written down in Koran—the Islamic
Paul was one of the first delegates to oppose the elders of the church in Jerusalem, and the observance of the Mosaic Law, as long as it did not interfere with the liberty of the Gentiles. Paul believed that salvation is available to all humanity, and salvation was won by Christ’s death and resurrection and given as a pure gift, along with many other things. Paul was a missionary, working to convert gentiles and Jews to Christianity in places where it was not widely practiced. He travelled on four major journeys, spreading the message of Christ. On his journey, Paul also set up Churches with leaders in many major towns.
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. In Judaism on the other hand, Jesus was merely a prophet. Both Christianity and Judaism were established in Israel. Christianity was founded around 30 AD in contrast to Judaism which started around 1000 BC. Although a few sacred readings and the form that followers pray are similar in both religions they are also slightly different.
Emphasis on the number seven, times of great tribulation on Earth, the “Lamb” that saves his people, and a new Earth to replace the old all combine to tell the tale of the final days on our planet.

Because of this, there are multiple outlooks on The Book that debate the philosophical meaning as compared to a more literal and religious view. There are four major schools of interpretation which all break down The Book of Revelation in different ways.

Even a quick scan of their speeches and correspondences one can find many allusions to God. The Founders understood that theocracy was tyranny, but they did not feel they could or should try to banish religion from public life altogether. George Washington, the first President of the United States, improvised “So help me, God” at the end of the first presidential oath and kissed the Bible on which he had sworn it. This act itself would be a violation of church and state according to the interpretation by the ACLU. According to "The University Of Oklahoma College Of Law" (2009.)
Channing Lomax History 101 15 October 2013 What Made Gnosticism Inferior to Orthodox Christianity? In the year 1945, a ground breaking band of books were discovered merely by chance. These books were collectively called The Gnostic Gospels, and they consisted of secret, hidden, or discarded theories on Christianity that did not make the final cut of the Holy Bible. For whatever reason, these lost books- such as the Gospels of Thomas and Phillip, the Secret Books of John and James, and the Apocalypses of Peter and Paul- were deemed heretic to the Christian belief system (XVI). The gnostic gospels presented many prying questions and many possible arguments against the general legitimacy of all of orthodox Christian’s beliefs, and they were
Many believe in him, others don’t. Anselmo d’Aosta said that we should not give sentences on things out of our sensitive knowledge – the experience. In fact, why should we try to find explanations for things that probably doesn’t exist?!? only because the church tries to make us believe in such things? I don’t think is enough… the so called ‘sacred texts’ that form the Holly Bible, were re-written after the 4th century, probably during the Constantine’s reign. In 325 at Nicaea the Christian Creed was composed, and many other writings that formed the Holly Bible were retouched trying to give a certain form, useful to the emperor.
They refer to the scripture Psalm 83:18, according to the King James Version of the Bible: "That men may know that thou, whose name alone is JEHOVAH, art the most high over all the earth." In the New World Translation, the scripture at Isaiah 42:8, "I am Jehovah. That is my name." (Jehovah's Witnesses—Who Are They? What Do They Believe?, 2012) The name Jehovah appears almost 7,000 times in the original Hebrew Scriptures although most Bibles do not show it as such but substitute "God" or "Lord" for

Wright explains how understanding Jesus, one must understand the Old Testament and it’s narratives that paint a picture of the one who prophets elude to as the one who will fulfill the law, by delivering Israel. In doing so, using Israel as the prototype of God’s mission to provide salvation to them and to all nations. Prophetical narratives that paint pictures of one, who is destined to be the savior of God’s chosen people, Israel, and all mankind. The crescendo of events in the Old Testament that takes the reader through time, places, and events that provides credence to who Jesus really was and his purpose here on the earth.

There is no way of knowing for sure if the scholars are interpreting the Bible the way God intended. Christians and Jews agree that the Old Testament foretold the coming of a Messiah. However, there is a large amount of text that is being translated and the growing trend has it referencing
