Can someone explain the differences between Judaism/Christianity and Islam

[HaveIGotAClue]

From what I can gather, all three believe in God (or Allah as he is called in Islam).

Am I correct in my following conclusions?

A: Jews believe that Jesus wasn't the son of God, but he was a prophet. No more prophets are coming.
B: Christians believe that Jesus was the son of God and no more prophets are coming.
C: Muslims believe that Jesus was not the son of God, he was a prophet, but then Muhammad came after him. Muhammad was a prophet and no more prophets are coming.

Do they all essentially believe the same thing except that they differ about whether Jesus and Muhammad?

the key teaching of christianity is about grace and salvation.

It teaches that all people have sinned, and so are cut off from God. God wanted reconciliation, he did that by sending his son. The theology is that Jesus was sinless, and so when he died, he was able to pay for all the sins committed in all time by all people.
That allows people to be reconciled to God.
This is called Grace - people didn't deserve it, but God gave it anyway, because he loves us and wants a relationship with us.
So, the actual teaching is about love, and God reaching down form heaven into the world. Sadly over the years many christians have added their own bits on which wander a long way from this.

The Bible is not all the same, Jesus supersedes the Old Testament, so where it was OK to take an 'eye for an eye' in the Old Testament, in the New Testament (the section after Jesus came) Jesus says you should NOT retaliate, but love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you.

Jesus was himself Jewish, and so were his disciples and most of the early Christians. Judaism and the Hebrew Bible/Old Testament has prophecies about a coming Messiah who will save the world. Christians believe that Jesus is that Messiah, Jews don't believe that. So Jews are still waiting for the Messiah.

(by the way - the 'eye for and eye' teaching was actually about restraint, The culture at the time was one of increasing revenge - I take your eye, you take my life, my family takes the life of 3 of your family etc etc. The 'eye for and eye' was an instruction in a violent culture - be restrained and only take back the same as you have lost, and that is all you are allowed)

The three religions are all monotheistic, but their understanding of who God is/how he relates to the world are very different, so it is incorrect to summarise that they're all the same apart from beliefs about Jesus.

For example, the idea of calling God 'our father' as a metaphor for his relationship with humanity is common to Judaism and Christianity. Christianity then has the doctrine of the Trinity - that the one God is actually three co-equal persons, of whom one is the Father; this is not accepted by Judaism. Islam does not accept the name 'father' as appropriate for God at all, either as a metaphor or true name.

I disagree that Judaism is fundamentally about rules, which wasn't actually what the pp said, but it was along those lines (can't scroll up, grrr!). To me (a non-Jew), it seems to be fundamentally about a covenental relationship. The commandments are a mark of what you do when you're in that relationship, confirming the identity, but they don't create the relationship. The covenant is made as a free election of God, without merit on the human side. The fact that Yom Kippur is one of the greatest festivals in the Jewish year, and the practices of that day, show that the Jewish understanding is that all will sin and break the law and that God forgives.

I think this says it all really - a MUSLIM lady saying Muslims and Islam have a PARTICULAR and UNIQUE problem with violence:

Interesting thread.

I believe those still Christian in England are in it for the religion or a school place.

Jesus told us to love God the Father with all your heart and soul.

Jesus also told us to love your neighbours as yourself.

My understanding of Islam is that it's for many a cultural thing rather than religion and most don't understand it fully.

I find it interesting there's only one religion that encourages words on the head. In the form of headband. There is a warning about that in the new testament.
