Abrahamic Faiths View on Jesus.
from Enlighten Me Project Hosted by Diyaeelddin Judeh
Judaism, Christianity and Islam are the 'Abrahamic religions' because Abraham is central in all. He made an agreement (covenant) with God, who promised Abraham would become the father of a great nation in return for keeping God's laws. Abraham left his homeland in Mesopotamia (Iraq) and travelled to the promised land of Canaan (Palestine). He became the ancestor of all Israelites (through his son Isaac) and all Arabs, including Muhammad (through his son Ishmael).To test his obedience, God told Abraham to sacrifice his son. At the last minute God intervened and an angel appeared to prevent the sacrifice. God rewarded Abraham. Jews and Christians believe the son involved was Isaac. The religious perspective of Jesus peace be upon him vary among world religions. The teachings and the retelling of his life story have significantly influenced the course of human history, and have directly or indirectly affected the lives of billions of people, even non-Christians. He is one of the most influential person to have ever lived, finding a significant place in numerous cultural contexts. I will be being going over the view of Jesus with the 3 three monotheistic faiths; As you should know Judaism, Christianity, and Islam.
