Answer by Ed11 Corinthians 5:21. ” If you be Christ’s, then are you Abraham’s seed, and heirs of the covenants of promise. The promises in the old testament are ours for the taking. Plus the covenant for the new birth from Jesus.Answer by DS M
As everyone has an opinion, so Islam is of the opinion they are part of the “Abrahamic” tradition. However, like a plumber has an opinion about how a brain surgen should conduct a surgery isn’t highly regarded, neither is Islam’s claim to Abraham.
Like the Mormons, the most telling piece of evidence is the complete lack of evidence of their claim before one and only one singular event. One would think that the Creator of the Universe would have a better handle of His Creation than to inform only one person while not allowing one stitch of evidence to support this claim covering 2000 years.
No, if Muslims were allowed to study and think about Islam, this would be a problem for them. But since they aren’t allowed to ask questions without fearing someone will kill them, Islam is not allowed to grow as it would if it were free.
Instead, in countries where Islam controls the government,
***It has become common practice to sell or force very young girls to marry much older husbands, giving rise to all sorts of social ills. Adineh magazine wrote in summer 1991: “An 11-year-old girl was married off to a 27-year-old man. The father, who had seven daughters, received $ 300 for his consent. The morning after the marriage ceremonies, the girl was taken to hospital suffering from severe lacerations to her genitals.”
The state-controlled daily, Ressalat, reported on December 15, 1991, that due to extreme poverty and the absence of the most basic facilities, the deprived people of northern Khorassan sell their young girls for as little as $ 33. The buyers, mostly from Gonabad, take the girls away and put them to work on farms and in workshops. In the impoverished province of Sistan-Baluchistan (southeastern Iran), girls eight – ten years old are sold by their drug-addicted parents for $ 4. Children are routinely abused in the labor force, and girls as young as four are used in the brick manufacturing, carpet weaving, textile and clothing industries.
According to the penal code, a nine-year-old girl can be punished as an adult by flogging, execution and even stoning. Given the arbitrary punishments and the virtual lack of due process of law, large numbers of children have been executed, in many cases without being officially charged or even having their identities established.
Rape of Female Prisoners
In a report on November 22, 1994, the United Nations Special Rapportuer on violence against women said “the public stoning and lashing of women serves to institutionalize violence against women. The Special Rapportuer has received many allegations of such violent punishments being inflicted on women in the Islamic Republic of Iran.”
According to a special “religious decree” issued by Ayatollah Khomeini, virgin women prisoners must be raped before execution to prevent their going to heaven. A Guard conducts the rape the night before their murder. The next day, the religious judge at the prison issues a marriage certificate and sends it to the victim’s family, along with a box of sweets.***
You would first need to define Judaism before you could compare the “covenants.”
As Judaism 101 says,
***It is important to note that being a Jew has nothing to do with what you believe or what you do….a person born to a Jewish mother who is an atheist and never practices the Jewish religion is still a Jew, even in the eyes of the ultra-Orthodox.*** https://www.jewfaq.org/whoisjew.htm
As Bad Tim says,
***judaism had to institute some pretty radical changes in order to survive in exile. one of those changes was the rabbinic system***
As Cher says,
***I don’t feel comfortable following commandments in the intense Orthodox way because it doesn’t match my sense of what’s true in the world. When I mix in observations from science, I see Orthodoxy as very complete in & of itself… but doesn’t incorporation the questions I have. I see Torah as a mixture of stories, an amazing set of conclusions coming out of them, but people written (unsure on the God inspired or the inspiration was in how it was held & used.) And other things like this.***
So Christianity is like the Judaism with prophets who believed that God spoke. This is to be contrasted with Rabbis who have no first hand information about the topic they claim to teach….the God of Israel.
You really have to know which Judaism you are talking about before the question is answered intelligently. If you are referring to the prophets filled with the Spirit of God, then the only difference is the Messiah has come. If you are referring to the rabbis clueless about what God made them to do, then the difference is the Spirit of God.
Hope this helps
