Would it be a good idea if all three Abrahamic religions merged to form a new monotheistic religion?
Q. It's always bothered me. Christianity, Judaism and Islam have different traditions but they all believe in the same god. Even the Gnostics had the same god, just split into two. If you think about one way, the God we all think of is exactly the same as the God in Judaism. The messages may be slightly different, but they mean the same things. If you think about it one way, it could be like a Holy Trinity. There being three Abrahamic religions, it is obvious.

A. It sounds so simple, doesn't it? And I suppose, on the shallowest of levels, it is that simple. But if you dig a little, you'll see some major obstacles. There is one major question that must be answered: "Who is Jesus Christ?" These three groups will answer that question very differently.

A. Probably. I mean, every modern follower of Abrahamic religions adjusts it at least a little (in the case of the non-fundies, quite a lot) to create something sane for themselves - someone who believed in an entire holy book with no cherry-picking would be criminally insane by even, well, criminally insane standards. I imagine if a believer wanted to believe in a form of Islam with all the threats of hell and death removed, they could do so just as easily as a modern Christian omits the parts about killing disobedient children or hunting witches.

CHRISTIANITY is an Abrahamic religion. So how can catholics be called CHRISTIANS?
Q. Show me one verse where Abraham spoke to dead saints and Mary. You won't find it. Catholicism with its popes has nothing to do with Abraham.
Asked by Jenny - Thu Mar 5 11:13:49 2009 - - 18 Answers - 0 Comments
A. They are not. Here is more information about the origin of Mary worship: Siver C - the "only" requirement of being a Christian is not just to believe in Jesus and that he was God's only begotten Son. Since we call ourselves followers of Jesus, should we not also follow his teaching? When did he worship his mother or tell us that WE should. Although I'm sure he loved his mother, Jesus did not say that. In fact, when he was informed at one of his sermons that his mother and brothers were there to see him, Jesus said My mother and My brothers are these who hear the word of God and do it. I must have missed the part where he bows before his mother.

Q.
Asked by Police Officer - Fri Jun 11 08:32:22 2010 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments
A. I'd say Baha'i, but I think that is technically part of Islam, though most Muslims see it the same way many Christians see Mormons. Mormons are Christian, but they have the Book of Mormon which is not recognized by other Christians, so I guess you could say they are separate. If you consider Mormons to be distinct from other Christians, then they would be fourth because they currently outnumber members of Baha'i. If not, then I guess Baha'i is fourth. If you consider Baha'i to be part of Islam, then maybe there isn't a fourth. Personally, I consider Protestantism distinct from Christianity, and since Protestants outnumber Jews but do not outnumber Muslims, that would make Protestants third and Judaism fourth.

The old testament, which is incorporated into the beliefs of all three of the major monotheistic belief systems, is so riddled with constant cruelty, slavery, inequity and genocide that it seems almost incomprehensible to an objective view of modern morality.

But when Christians persist in reinterpreting our holidays, I have to draw the line. You can't share when one group insists on taking it over.
