Abrahmic religions discussion.Invitation for a Jew , christian and Muslim to discuss

[Abram Is Muslim]

Salam,Shalom for you all

The Abrahmic religions, Judism,Christianty, and Islam ,they all call for being from the same source , but none accept what came after it , like Judism refuse Islam and Christianty , and Christianty refuse Islam ,and Islam found nothing to refuse he came at the end....

Is there any relation between them , Or nothing at all as Athiests say....??

I wish discussing here with a practise Jew and practise Christiant,about the main common points between us , like God , laws, and the eternal life...

Wish you the best

Could well be an interesting discussion and I hope to join in when I'm back next week.

Certainly they grew out of each other but to what extent they are linked by revolution rather than evolution I'd have to think long and hard about.

It also depends a lot which Christian denomination you look at / come from. Many consider the New Testament to be the basis of Christianity and that Jesus redefined the law whilst many others consider that the Old Testament is prime and that Mosaic and Levitical law are to be observed to the letter. How far distant Christianity is from Judaism depends on which approach you take.

How do you see Islam relating to Christianity? Does it share much of its belief and does that depend on which branch of Islam you follow?

There's a fourth Abrahamic religion, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (sometimes called the Mormons). I know they sound Christian-like but they're not, they're way out on their own. They have their own scriptures in addition to the Bible, they aim to become gods and goddesses in their own right after death and they claim divine revelation through continued prophesy. From all their art I've ever seen they think Jesus was (or, possibly, is) a white American, too.

I was married to a Mormon and lived among them for 15 years. I didn't study Mormonism but I asked a lot of questions and observed my in-laws, friends, working associates, etc.. I attended different functions at their stake houses, such as weddings, baptisms and funerals. I was president of Rotary in our small town and owned a real estate company so I maintained both a personal relationship as well as a business one in a town that was predominately LDS. In my opinion they have good points and bad, as do all the religions of which I've gained knowledge.
Your statement about Mormon's art depicting Jesus as a white American leaves me stumped. They depict him as white, as do most religions and historic art, but I don't think they thought he was American. He is mentioned in the Bible, after all, which they use. The latter-day saints and scriptures were supposedly revealed to Joseph Smith on the Golden Plates at a later date, revealing more saints (hence the name.)

My mother-in-law had a scroll that was approximately 60 ft. long which traced her ancestry back to the 1st century. It was fascinating. The LDS Church in Salt Lake has a marvelous genealogy search system and in our town there was a group of people who searched these records on a regular basis.

Jesus emigrated to the New World, apparently.

I don't think you'd find many Christian church leaders who'd describe the Mormon church as sharing their communion - that's a polite way of discussing whether what they preach is heresy or not.

I quite fancy mormons, they always seem so pure, innocent even. I'd like to dirty one up

Interesting, how does a woman force a man to have sex with her? Does she tape sticks to either side of his penis to make it erect or what

Fortunately, it seeems that the success of modern science in creating sperm cells from stem cells means males are unnecessary.

Oh joy.
