THREE MAJOR RELIGIONS

THREE MAJOR RELIGIONS

In actuality, there are an estimated eleven major religions on our planet. Of those eleven, there are a myriad of subdivided groups, called "sectes" or considered as minor religions.
In recent years, much has been made of the idea that Christianity,Judaism and Islam are from the same origin.It is true that Abraham(ca. 2000 B.C.)is recognized by all three. And it is evident that Palestine, and more particularly the city of Jerusalem have changed hands between the members of the three. Their presence in modern Jerusalem is very real.
Certain parts of the metropolis are considered especially sacred to each. Much blood has been shed in the process.
It is noteworthy that a major difference exists between the three groups. Mainly, it revolves around Jesus of Nazareth. Within the larger group known as "official Christendom", there are many variations of adherence to the importance of Jesus Christ and His teachings.
The Christian who holds to the belief that Jesus is Prophet, Priest and coming King also knows Him as God, the Son, the co-Creator and the Lord and Savior.
Islam and present-day official Judaism recognize Him only as a teacher or prophet. They reject totally the value of His death on the cross of Calvary and His bodily resurrection, three days later.
Jesus, Himself, said,"he who does NOT honor the Son, does not honor the Father who sent Him (Gospel of John 5:23).
Those are the facts! You decide!
