Judaism is about the God Yahweh, the Land of Israel, the Exodus and the coming of the Messiah.
Christianity is about the worship of the Father (God), Jesus and the Holy Spirit. Jesus is considered to be the messiah as prophesized in the Tanakh. The Holy Spirit is the link between the Son and the Father.
You sure?
Islam is about worshiping God. Full stop.
A God...
Mohammadanism is about worshiping Muhammad.
Please enlighten me about Christianity.
Islam claims to be the same God as the God of Abraham and the God of Jesus. Same God.
You are talking about the Holy Trinity... or three-personed -God... Godhead, the Triune God... God is a Tri-unity, with each Person of the Godhead equally and fully and eternally God. Each is necessary, and each is distinct, and yet all are one.
Scriptures contain no expressly formulated doctrine of the Trinity. But according to the Christian theology, it "bears witness to" the activity of a God who can only be understood in Trinitarian terms.
Quote:The doctrine did not take its definitive shape until late in the fourth century. During the intervening period, various tentative solutions, some more and some less satisfactory, were proposed. Trinitarianism contrasts with Nontrinitarian positions which include Binitarianism (one deity in two persons, or two deities), Unitarianism (one deity in one person, analogous to Jewish interpretation of the Shema and Muslim belief in Tawhid), Oneness Pentecostalism or Modalism (one deity manifested in three separate aspects). Additionally, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints believes the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost are three separate deities, two of which possess separate bodies of flesh and bones, while the Holy Ghost has yet to receive his body.
Not all Christians are Catholic, not all believe in the Trinity, these are Nontrinitarian.
