A:Islam accepts the prophets of Judaism, as well as Christianity's John the Baptist. Of course, only Islam teaches that Muhammad was the last prophet of God. Early Muslims accepted the Old Testament view that Abraham was told to sacrifice Isaac, but the consensus of later Islamic scholars is that it must have been Ishmael whom Abraham was to kill. This encouraged suspicion among Muslims that the Jews altered their own holy books to glorify Judaism.

In most ways, Islam is more similar to Christianity than to Judaism. For example, Islam shares with Christianity a belief in hell and a belief that Satan is the evil adversary of God.

Islam believes that Jesus had a divine role. Although not divine himself, Jesus was one of the great prophets, a view not shared by Judaism. The consequence of this belief is that Islam is closer to Judaism in one respect - they are both more strongly monotheistic than Christianity because of Christianity's belief in the divinity of Jesus (and of the Holy Spirit).

Unique to Islam among the Abraham religions is belief in jinn. These were pre-Islamic spirits that are mostly evil but can be good.

Is Judaism biblical?

Yes, Judaism is Biblical in that the Torah, which means Teachings, is the core of the Jewish religion. The history of Judaism can be found in the texts that make up the complete Jewish Bible, which is called the Tanach: Torah (Teachings), Nevi'im (Prophets), K'tuvim (Writings). The Christian Old Testament was based on the Tanach, however, it was altered to support the teachings of Christianity.


Judaism vs Christianity?

If your are looking to convert, you will find Christianity more inviting due to the difficult nature of Judaic conversion. If you are asking yourself Judaism vs. Christianity, chances are you are not very serious about either, so as a Jew, I think you should go with christianity. Now if you are asking which makes more sense? I would have to answer Judaism. Simply because our scriptures do not have any contradictions, and because Judaism takes work not just five minutes and some holy water.
