Are muslims and christians really jews?

I was once a born again christian for years (unfortunately) and obviously christians and muslims BOTH worship jehova/yahweh. Muslims/christians both have the Old testament. And christianity was originally a sect. of judaism.

so are mandeist, christians, and muslims really just jews?

    With the exception of Jesus, all three religions are very similar. I wouldn't go so far as to say that Christians and Muslims are Jews, but they all came from the same place. More than likely the leaders of one religion had some type of dispute.

    After the dispute a splinter effect occured.

    Despite being an atheist I do believe that Christians, Muslims and Jews all believe in the same God. I come from a religious family and studied religion quite a lot at school (this is how I ended up an atheist!). I just find so many contradictions in the practice of the different faiths. For instance: in the Koran nowhere does it state that women have to cover themselves from head to foot when appearing in public. Mohammed advised his followers to respect women not to subjugate them. The fundamentalists have taken Mohammed's writings and totally twisted them to suit their own ends. The same can be said for the Christian church. Christ turned the money lenders out of the temple but the Church of England are now the biggest land owners in the country.

    For someone who used to be a born-again Christian, you should already know the answer to that.

    Orthodox Judaism denies Jesus as the son of God as does Islam, so how could they be jewish? Jews also dont believe Muhammad was a prophet so how could a Muslim be considered a Jew?

    If you didnt know simple little basics like that while you claimed to be a Christian, then I suspect you missed out on what Christianity is truly all about.

    Muslims do not use the Old Testament. Christianity sprung out of the Jewish religion because Jesus and all his apostles were Jews. Muslims are supposed to be the descendants of Ishmael, the son Abraham had with Agar. Jews are descendants of Isaac, the son Abraham had with his wife Sarah. That's the root of the problems between Muslims and Jews.

    Our New Testament tells us that Christians are "grafted on" with the Jews. So speaking as a Christian, I would agree with that. I can't speak for Muslims.

    Both come from Jews but they are not following Jewish ideas now.

    That would be like saying a Buddhist is actually a Hinduist since Buddhism came from Hinduism.

    What everyone is is human! The man made label or group you agree with does not make you who you are!

    No, Christians and Muslims are not Jews, though they did both originate in Judaism.

    One of the World's great paradoxes.

    Consider this: God created Adam (a Jew) and took Eve out of his ribs, therefore also a Jew. Later, God destroyed everyone on the planet except for Noah (a Jew) and his family (also all Jews) therefore, everyone on the planet is Jewish.

    Anyone living by any other religion is just a splitter... or a Unitarian.

    i saw a show on Tv last night

    all three of them religions are confused, Abe had a son and god ordered him to kill his son at some rock, he was gonna do it. Then god no, I was just testing you. Seems kinda cruel to me. Anyway , ALL THREE of them religions agree on that story. Then they kill each other becuase they differ in what other stories they believe or don't, or whatever lost and unknown past reasons.

    Source(s): my opinion anyway

    Christians believe that, as the Messiah, Jesus was anointed as ruler and savior of humanity, and hold that Jesus's coming was the fulfilment of messianic prophecies of the Old Testament. The Christian concept of the Messiah differs significantly from the contemporary Jewish concept.

    The core Christian belief is that, through the death and resurrection of Jesus, the perfect Son of God as they believe, mankind is reconciled to God and thereby attains salvation by grace and the promise of eternal life to all who trust in Christ. The need for salvation was caused by original sin.

    While there have been theological disputes over the nature of Jesus, most Christians believe that Jesus is God incarnate and "true God and true man" (or both fully divine and fully human). Jesus, having become fully human in all respects, including the aspect of mortality, suffered the pains and temptations of mortal man, yet he did not sin. As fully God, he defeated death and rose to life again. According to the Bible, "God raised him from the dead" ,he ascended to heaven, to the "right hand of God", and will return again to fulfil the rest of Messianic prophecy such as the Resurrection of the dead, the Last Judgment and establishment of the Kingdom of God .

    Muslims believe in one god who is different from any creature in this world and who has never been seen before.and they believe that jesus is a prophet not a savior;who was sent by god to the israelies to fulfil the massege of moses and to help them be more faithful to god and more merciful. the israelies tried to kill jesus but god saved him from execution and rose him up to the heavens

    muslims believe that the bible present nowadays was altered by humans olso the tora the book of moses. due to verses of quran that tells them about that .

    In ISLAM all the prophets from adam to mohamed came with the same massege "believe in one god and all his massengers" and muslims should believe in them all.and it is written in the quran that prophet moses and prophet jesus told the israelies about the coming prophet Mohamed and that they should believe in him.
