Islam: Monotheistic Religion

Significant Distinctions and Similarities between Roman Catholicism vs Christianity In today’s society it is fairly difficult to differentiate religion in general, especially when the individual isn 't knowledgeable of religious practices. Roman Catholicism and Christianity have several similarities, but they are also very different, however Catholics are Christians because they believe that Jesus Christ is the Messiah. Which is the foundation of the Christian faith. Catholicism and Christianity both share the common belief of the trinity; One God in three persons, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Jesus is the Son of God who came to earth in human form, was crucified, died, and resurrected three days later to call sinners to repentance.

Jesus a prophet came through Galilee preaching the coming of Gods kingdom on earth and his coming. He often spoke of in stories and based many of his teachings on the Hebrew Bible. In 1054, Christianity split into two branches Eastern Orthodox and the Roman Catholicism. For example in the U.S. there are three major branches of Judaism, Reform, Conservative, and Orthodox. Unlike Christianity, Muslims have one version of their religion not different types like Christianity.

God: God is known in John by two ways, “the Father who sent” Jesus (5:37), and as “the Father of the Son” (5:17-23). In the gospel of John writing God, does not become the center of focus. The Jewish people already has strong ties and believes in God, however there was some debate whether the Jewish’s people believes that Jesus was the Messiah and or the Son of God. According to C. S. Lewis he made a statement about Jesus and John wholeheartedly agreed with, Lewis wrote “Jesus is lunatic, liar, or Lord”. The Messiah: John speaking about the Messiah is to prove that Jesus is the Messiah, and the Son of God (20:30-31).

Jesus can do it. Luke 5:12-26 Jordan Knorr’s Sermon bullet point. Parallel Pericopes: Mark 1: 40-2:12, Matthew 8:1-4, 9:1-8. Exegesis to draw from: Background: Book of Luke was written to prove that Jesus Christ was the eternal God in human flesh, who came into the world as the awaited Messiah. He wrote Precisely and systematically to present an un-refutable case that Jesus of Nazareth was the one who was to come, who makes the way possible for a created, sinful being to stand in front of a Holy and righteous God by taking upon Himself the penalty for sin which only God could do!

I will compare and contrast between Christianity and Hinduism in this essay. First of all, Christianity is a belief in Jesus Christ, who was crucified two thousand years ago on Calvary, Jerusalem, which is now spread all over the world. Hinduism is a religion with many beliefs and practices, so offering a comparison of Christianity and Hinduism is challenging. It

Christianity believes in the Holy Trinity; that there is one Divine Being, which is God, the son of the Divine Being, which is Jesus, and the Spirt of Jesus, which is the Holy Spirt. While these three things still exist in Judaism, Jewish believers do not think that Jesus fulfilled the messianic prophesiers that predicated great things. While Christianity had Jesus as their prophet, Islam has Muhammad as their prophet.

It was written so that all might trust in Jesus Christ the Son of God who offers everlasting life. John’s gospel uses the word “Believe” ninety eight times and the word “Life” thirty-six times, in an effort to implant the significance that it is essential that one must believe in order to live eternally. John is not one of the three synoptic gospels, but in its place was written with a more scriptural material, yet correspondingly as enthused and important as the primary three gospels. Not everything Jesus did was recorded in the bible. “And there are many other things which Jesus did, which if they were written in detail, I suppose that even the world itself would not contain the books that would be written” (Bible, John

Simply professed, I believe Jesus is God. In the Gospel of Matthew 1:22-23, His Divine identity is revealed to his biological father Joseph as the fulfillment of the messianic prophecy spoken in the book of Isaiah 7:14. Traditionally, the divine qualifying attributes such as: his “sinlessness” or his “teachings” pointed to define his divinity. The two can points can easily be diminished by identifying Jesus as an “extraordinary individual”. His death alone, offers very little affirmation of his divine nature, due to claims of Jesus simply being a political victim or martyr.

Even though this was said towards the beginning of all terror, Unferth continued with the ideas of Christianity when he became a priest where he symbolized that religion because he wore a massive cross over his neck and resides in a church. (Insert quote here) When relating to Christianity in the poem, the author presented Beowulf as the Almighty God. “Now he discovered -- once the afflictor of men, tormentor of their days -- what it meant to feud with Almighty God…” (331-333) In these lines, they are relating the “Almighty God” to Beowulf as he symbolizes the good defeating the evil. The theme presented in the movie is that history repeats itself, which is true. History is repeating itself from king to king because each ruler tends to become a victim of

Christianity and Islam have many similarities and differences with each other. Both believe in one God however Islam’s god is Allah while Christianity’s god is God. Both have a main prophet, Muhammed for Islam and Jesus for Christianity, however Jesus is God’s son while Muhammed was not. The main religious city for Islam is Mecca, while for Christianity is Jerusalem. The holy word for Christianity is the Bible, while for Islam is the Koran.

The scripture texts mention Jesus as one who breaks all walls that divide humans under certain categories or label them with captions. In other words, if we are able to see God’s love manifest in the love of Christ, we would be able to understand the love of God too. On the other hand, Burton Z. Cooper states that “God has acted in Christ to redeem us.” This satisfies Jesus’ claim that our faith in Christ will help us be one in Christ as he is one in the Father, as mentioned in John 14:20. It is fascinating to note Suchocki’s words “Letting go of one world, he must participate in the creation of another.” Though this statement would mean different in the context of Simon and the prostitute, in the current context, this would deal with more than having accepted Jesus Christ, and being made new in him. This would mean to suggest that one understands the truth about Jesus as not only the Son of God, but in the current context, as one who died for the sins of the world, because God’s love is manifested in him and through his death, and that he is the risen Christ to this day.

Beowulf was originally written as a pagan oral tradition before the Christian monks infused their religion into it. The epic hero showed his faith to God as he battled the monsters and depicted the world of Christianity. However, the ideas in the poem are presented in both Christian God and pagan power which exemplifies Wyrd. Christianity and paganism are at opposite ends of the religious spectrum and each represent different beliefs and customs. Christians believe and follow the teachings of Christ and depend on the Bible for Spiritual guidance, but paganism is based on the belief and worshiping of other gods through sacrifices.

The accounts in Genesis and in the Book of Mormon say that humans were created by God, and He saw His creation as good. They all use repetition to not only tell the story of human’s creation, but the creation of the Earth. In spite of all three of the accounts talking about the creation of man, they all go into different debts about the details of the creation of man. Genesis one and the Book of Mormon have similar descriptions of how man was made. Both do not have very detailed descriptions of the creation of man, but they both describe that man was created to have dominion over all inhabitants of the world.

Moreover, the recognition of God as monotheistic was founded on the revelation key prophets received in each faith. Zoroastrians’ belief and view of God came from the revelations of Zoroastrian and Judaist view developed from God’s communication to Moses. Similarly, Christians’ view of God is shaped and defined by the life and teachings of Jesus Christ. In respect to a coming Savior, Judaists waited for the Messiah, Christians wait for Jesus, and Zoroastrians expected the Saoshyant. Even further, all the religions view the world to be in a constant battle between good and evil, and between God and the devil.
