The three (3) religions, namely, Judaism, Christianity and Islam recognized
as their common ancestor. They all believe in one God
therefore they are . Though all of them believe in One God,
they assigned different names for their God. Judaism for example believe in

DISCUSSIONS
These religions are already discussed in the previous lessons. All three
claimed that they came from one ancestor, Abraham hence they were called
Abrahamic religions. The current lesson is not a review, but it is a rediscovering of
the spiritual tie between these three Abrahamic religions namely; Judaism,
Christianity and Islam. They are related in terms of genealogy or their lineage. Let
us begin with their belief in God.
The commonalities are easy to tell. They all believe in One God which means
they are all monotheists but vary on how they address their God. The Jews call
them Yahweh or Elohim, Christians have the Holy Trinity or Triune God (God the
Father, the Son and Holy Spirit) while Islam calls their God Allah. For Judaism, the
Israelites have great respect of their God that nobody among the believers is worthy
to pronounce even the name Yahweh hence they just write the consonants “Y H W
H.” In contrast, the Muslims are very proud to recite “ Allahu Akbar “ or “God is
Great” or “God is the Greatest” to remind themselves of God’s power. For the
Christians i t is Jesus himself who reminded them that …” not
everyone who calls me their Lord will get into the kingdom of
heaven…” (Mtt.7:21) For the Jews when the Pentateuch was translated from its
original language, and vowels were added to the consonants, translators have
different interpretation of “Y H W H. It became Y a H W e H and J e H o V a H for
other translators. Two names but only One God. Besides Yahweh and Jehovah, the
Jews have other names of their God like “Elohim” or “El Shaddai.” It is their belief
that when the names referring to God are written, then it cannot be stricken out
from their tradition.
Similarly, Christianity’s belief in One God confuses both the believers and
non-believers alike. The “Tri” in the Holy Trinity or Triune God means three,
therefore the Christians believe in “Three Gods.” This is the usual arguments of non-
believers. The Three Persons (God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit)
are not separate Gods but only One with the same Nature. St. Athanasius explains it
clearly in the table below. I remembered the analogy of one of my professors in
Theology using the glass and three droplets of water. He said that the glass
represents the nature of God, the three droplets of water represents the Three
Persons in the Holy Trinity. Then he asked, “When you drop the three droplets one
by one into the glass, how many droplets can be seen into the glass? The answer is -
only ONE. This simplistic analogy can be understood easily by ordinary believers but
“theological explanation” is also necessary because for Christians their faith is not
a blind faith. It is a ”faith seeking understanding,” as St. Anselm explained.
This is the purpose of theology, to explain the doctrines and beliefs in a rational and
systematic manner similar to other sciences. As an example, St. Athanasius
explained the Holy Trinity in a theological manner when he said that ,” The Father
and the Son and the Holy
Spirit" are not names for different parts of God, but one name for God because three
persons exist in God as one entity.(see Table 1). If it’s difficult for you to
understand the meaning of the Holy Trinity, then the church calls it a mystery,
because our minds are limited to be able to understand the Nature of God. It is like
the legend told by St. Augustine walking in the seashore contemplating upon the
meaning of the Holy Trinity.
“As he was walking along the beach, he saw something a bit odd and he
stopped to take a look. A boy was running back and forth from the ocean to a
spot on the beach, carrying water in a seashell, and dropping the water in a
little hole in the sand not too far off.
“My boy,” said St. Augustine. “What are you doing?”
“I am trying to bring all the sea into this hole!” the boy said with a big smile.
St. Augustine looked at the hole, which was tiny, and said, “But that is
impossible, my dear child. The hole cannot contain all that water. It is too
small.” “It is no more impossible than what you are trying to do — comprehend
the immensity of the mystery of the Holy Trinity with your small mind!”
St. Augustine stopped at his words and glanced away from the boy, surprised
by the boy’s response. When he turned back to the boy, he had vanished.”
(https://illustratedprayer.com/2017/08/08/st-augustine-seashore/)
In the same way that our minds cannot contain the mystery or the essence
of God because of our minds are limited.
Seemingly, it’s only Islam who clearly has one name of their God who is Allah.
The first of the Five Pillars express this belief. It says, “There is no God, but Allah.”
Islam was the last religion that was founded among the three, around 700 BCE.
Though Islam has sectarian believers (Shiite and Sunis), their understanding of Allah
remains constant. The division is more of political succession and religious practices.
When these religions embraced different cultures, they adapted to the new
cultural milieu where they belong, as discussed
in earlier modules. For example, the God for the
Jews is a real God in solidarity with the people.
Yahweh is a historical God who accompany
them from their liberation from Egypt as found
in the Exodus story. The same God who
delivered them to the Promised Land. The same
God who continues to reveal to the prophets
and Kings of Israel. Hence, during the period of
their captivity, they were longing for a Messiah.
A
Messiah from their mindset is a warrior with a sword who will liberate
them from their enemies. They are expecting that the God of Moses and Abraham
would liberate them from their enemies.
This is the departure point for Christians and Muslims alike. The God of the
Christians is very far from the people as with the Muslims. While the Jews believe
that God is with them accompanying them in their journey, the God of the Christians
is an idea, a Transcendent God, Omnipotent? Where do the Christians get these
concepts? Christianity was greatly influenced by the Greco-Roman culture since it
became the official religion during the time of Emperor Constantine in the 4th
century
C.E. Moreover, the prevailing cosmology about the Universe mainly by the Greek
philosophers hinted the idea of heaven and hell. The cosmology that the world is flat
and fix and it is the center of the Universe was influenced by Plato’s two worlds (the
World of Ideas and World of Matter). The picture above is a classic painting of this
belief. The lower part depicts the souls suffering from hell while heaven is above the
world with the souls and angels rejoicing. These two concepts are not mentioned by
the Jews. When Moses received the Ten Commandments, Yahweh was not in
heaven. He was in Mt. Sinai.
According to Joseph Campbell, “…in the beginning, God was simply the most
powerful god among many. He was just a local tribal god. And in the sixth century
BCE, when the Jews where exiled to Babylon, the notion of the word Savior
started…” (Campbell, 1988). The Savior that they were expecting is the Messiah. The
Jewish helplessness in the hands of their enemies enabled them to expect a
Messiah who
would liberate them. They are longing for a Messiah like King David who defeated
his enemies. In contrast, the Christian belief of a Messiah, is the one that will liberate
them from their personal sins not from their enemies. This is the reason
why until today, the Jews do not believe in Jesus Christ as their Messiah.
How about salvation? Is there a difference between salvation for the Jews
and salvation for the Christians? The difference in perspective of these two religions
sprouted from their contextual experiences. All throughout history, the Jews or
Israelites or Hebrews were colonized by several nations. They were marginalized as a
nation in fact they were called “Wandering Jews” because they have no country of
their own. They always look up to the time of Moses where God was actively present.
Every year the Jews celebrates their big feast which is the Passover feast to
commemorate their deliverance from Egypt by Moses as God’s representative. They
also long for the prosperous years during the time of King David so the restoration
of the holy nation and the re-establishment of Jerusalem. God for them is the
supreme ruler. Kings ruled their nation as representatives. God gave them Kings to
lead the nation in which justice, equality, abundance and well-being reign. We
Filipinos can identify with their experiences. We were also colonized by the
Spaniards, Japanese and Americans. We can feel the pain as we read books in
history how our ancestors suffered from the hands of our colonizers.
While the Jews talk about the physical and temporal salvation from their
enemies, on the contrary, for Christians the enemy is themselves. Sin is the real enemy. Hence
salvation for the Christians is turning away from our sins in order to be
saved. It was Jesus Christ who is their Savior and Messiah. In our Filipino parlance,
Jesus Christ brings “Ginhawa.” The term was first used by a famous theologian
Jose De Mesa to mean salvation. “Ginhawa” is actually freeing us not only from
personal sin but from structural sins like poverty, injustice, and inequality.
Kaginhawahan – should not only be experience in heaven but also here on earth.
For ordinary Filipinos Ginhawa is rice and fish on the table. For Christians Jesus Christ is
the “Ginhawa-bringer.”
Similar to Christianity, Islam also believes in heaven and hell. Like the Bible,
the Quran teaches that people are descendants of Adam and Eve and are imperfect
sinners. However, the Qur’an also teaches that their god, Allah, inspired sin in
humankind (Quran 4:88; 7:16–18; 9:51; 14:4; 16:93; 35:8; 57:22; 74:31; 91:7–9).
Muslims believe that humans are sinners because Allah has willed it. They have no
understanding similar to the Bible’s teaching that humans, not God, caused sin
through rebellion against God (Romans 5:12, 5:18–19).
Qur’an’s teachings regarding salvation are inconsistent. On the one hand, the
Qur’an teaches that salvation is based on purification by good deeds (Qur’an 7:6–9).
A Muslim can become righteous through prayer, almsgiving, fasting, and living
according to the Qur’an. On the other hand, Qur’an also teaches that Allah has
predetermined every person’s destiny, and one’s righteous acts may or may not affect
Allah’s decision (Qur’an 57:22). It teaches that everyone, both the righteous and the
unrighteous, will be led into hell by Allah, before the righteous will enter heaven
(Qur’an 19:67–72). Therefore no Muslim can know his or her eternal destiny in this
life. Even Muhammad himself was unsure of his salvation (Qur’an 31:34; 46:9).
(https://answersingenesis.org/world-religions/islams-view-of-sin-and- salvation/)
The table below summarizes the Abrahamic Religions’ belief in God, their idea of sin
and salvation and the number of followers each have. (Source:Wikipedia.com)

To date, the table reveals that Christianity is so far the largest adherents in
terms of population, followed by Islam and Judaism in that order. There are
predictions that Islam would overtake Christianity for the next decades. In fact
Islam is currently considered as the world’s fastest growing religion in the world.
One of the reasons is the higher birth rate with 3.1 children per woman, Muslims
have higher fertility levels than the world's overall population between 2010 and
2015.(www.wikipedia.com). Another reason could be their strict law in terms of
marriages. Arranged marriages are very common in Muslim societies even to very
young children. They also practice concubines wherein a husband can have more
than one wife. In addition, when there are intermarriages with different faith, they
see to it that the spouse or husband should be converted to Islam. This is the most
important compromise.
Finally, the three Abrahamic religions show us different paths towards one
destiny. They are trying to prove that belief in God is primarily based from own
experience and context. They are not presenting us different kinds of God but only
different faith-expressions in showing their faith. There is only One God who creates
everything. He could be Yahweh, God the Father, Allah, The Force, Pure Energy, or
Formless Entity. No doubt that divine power is the source of everything. Whatever
names they call their God, whatever their faith-expressions and religious beliefs,
they influenced almost half of the world’s population.

1. What common understanding they have about “peace” based from your
research.
2. In your own analysis what could be the answer of the question, “If religions
teach peace, then why can’t all religions achieve peace?
REMEMBER
Monotheism – a belief in one God
Abraham – the central figure who is the ancestor of the Jews, Christians and
Muslims.
Allah-In Islam, Allah is the unique, omnipotent and only deity and creator of
the universe and is equivalent to God in other Abrahamic religions.
Doctrine – teaching about beliefs of a particular religion
Genealogy- etymologically, it refers to the “gene” of a person that defines the
relationships of a family that can be traced from generations to generations.
Ginhawa – is regarded as the Filipino equivalent of salvation pioneered by a
Filipino theologian, Dr. Jose De Mesa
Messiah – was taken from the Hebrew word “Mashiach.” For them Messiah
refers to somebody with a sword who will slaughter the enemies and
establish again the Kingdom of Israel like David. For the Christians, Messiah
is Jesus Christ who liberates them from the bondage of sin.
Sin- according to God's Word, sin is what separates people from God.
Salvation- In religion, salvation generally refers to the saving of the soul from
sin and its consequences
Triune God- The belief that God is three persons—the father, the son who is
Jesus, and the Holy Spirit.
Yahweh- one of the Hebrew name of God in the Old Testament. The name was
regarded by Jews as too sacred to be spoken, hence they only wrote the
consonants.

2 Religious Dialogues
To begin with a happy note, it was just reported on GMA news, July 09, 2020
that our very own Bishop Cardinal Antonio Tagle has an additional assignment in
the Vatican. He was appointed as a member of the Vatican Council for Inter-
Religious Dialogue. What a coincidence. His additional mission is very relevant to
the lesson at hand, “Judaism, Christianity and Islam: Towards Religious dialogue. It
is an irony that religion is conceived to bring unity among the believers, but the
contrary is true, religion became an exclusive and zealous organization ….”
Campbell, 1988).
Family Tree
Pininerest.com
The picture reveals that indeed the three religions belong to one family.
Abraham has a legitimate son from his wife Sarah. Ismael was the son of Abraham
from their maid. How did it happen? It is interesting to know that it was Sarah, the
wife of Abraham who gave
permission to her maid to sleep
with her husband, Abraham.
She was afraid that in her late
age she cannot bear a child of
her own. The offspring of
Abraham and his maid was
Ismael, whom the Muslims traced their lineage. Ismael was the half-brother of Isaac,
the latter being the direct descendant of the Jews and Christians alike. It should be
noted that in the Bible, the generations was mentioned in the Gospel of Luke 3:23-
31.(See picture at the side). Dr. Paul Dejillas, the source of the picture vividly
enumerated the important names from David to Jesus Christ. If you noticed it seems
that the bible is bias since most of the names mentioned are men. We have to
understand that there was no gender sensitivity during those times. Historically, the
three religions at any point have their share of the discrimination for women. It is
more of cultural and religious beliefs. Even today, the practice is still observable
particularly for Muslims.
The proponents of Creation Spirituality observed that all religions are founded
by men so they venerate their founder and stagnate. It is important that the three
Abrahamic religions should learn from creation spirituality. This kind of
spirituality departs from anthropocentric religions which rallied among their
founders. For creation spirituality, all creations are equal and should be respected.
There are already efforts on the ground initiated by local communities in terms
of having a DIALOGUE. For example in Mindanao, there are already Christian-
Muslim organizations that calls for unity which were organized during the height of
wars in 1970’s up to the present. I have also attended numerous religious summits
attended by Muslims, Buddhists, different Christian sects, discussing about
religious unity. Fr. Lode Wostyn, CICM laid down the “principles of dialogue,” a
guidelines on how to go about this process. Although his perspective is the dialogue
between Christians, this could be useful and applicable in our interaction with
different religious groups.
Principles of Dialogue
1. Dialogue begins when people meet each other.
2. Dialogue depends upon mutual understanding and mutual trust.
3. Dialogue makes it possible to share in service to the community.
4. Dialogue becomes the medium of authentic witness.
All. Lit from a Blessed Tree, and olive neither from east nor of the west, whose oil is well-
nigh luminous, though fire scarce touches it? Light upon Light. Allah guides whom He
willed to His light. Allah sets forth parables for men, and God knows all things (Qur’an
24:35)
Amen.
Critical Thinking Questions:
1. How did you feel doing the unity prayer?
2. What important realization/s did you encounter while doing the task?
3. Why is it important to distinguish the characteristics of these two concepts?
How are you now? Are you ready to continue? Now that you understand that
religions are teaching us different paths towards the same destiny, different religious
expressions but the same God, your task now is to make and ACROSTIC POEM
