When did Judaism and Islam become separate religions?

Answer 1

A:Islam was begun by the Prophet Muhammad, who is believed by Muslims to have received his first revelation from the angel Gabriel in 610 CE. After attracting a few close followers in Mecca, Muhammad had to flee for his life to the city of Medina in 622 CE, the start of the Islamic calendar. Ths period marks the beginning of Islam and thefore its development from both Judaism and Christianity.

Answer 2

Answer

Early Christianity was generally considered to be a sect of Judaism. Paul appears to have considered himself a Jew. We also know that Christians were still welcome in the Temple until its destruction in the year 70, and that they attended Jewish synagogues. On the other hand, John's Gospel, written early in the second century, shows that Christians were beginning to see themselves as distinct from Jews. John was openly hostile to the Jews and referred to "Jews" generically, in contexts where the earlier Gospels directed their criticism towards the Pharisees alone.

The break came in 85 CE, when Christians were banned from the synagogues. From this time, Jews attending the synagogues were required to condemn the Christians, to ensure that Christians did not quietly attend Jewish services without disclosing their true religious beliefs.

Answer 3

The way the question is phrased is backwards. It was Jews who believed that Jesus Christ was the Messiah who broke off from Judaism and founded Christianity, making Christianity the separate faith. This breaking-off occurred in the 1st and 2nd centuries. It occurred as early Christians began to form their own synagogues, to accept as members non-Jewish men who did not become circumcised, and began to preach values that were distinct from the larger Jewish community.

Answer 4

After the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
