Monotheistic Religions Assignment

Christianity is one of three faiths in monotheism. The bible itself reveals what is important and essential to the Christian faith. These include deity of Christ, salvation by God’s grace and not by works, salvation through Jesus Christ alone, the resurrection of Christ, the Gospel, monotheism and the Holy Trinity. The sacred text John 1:29 ‘The next day he saw Jesus coming toward him, and said, “Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!’ is one of many significant lines throughout the bible though this line represents the belief of that Jesus took away the sins in which we committed. ADD PRAYER AS EXAMPLE

In Judaism texts prayers and images promote the omnieties of God. Judaism may be described as an "ethical monotheism", a religion based on a concept that there is a single incorporeal God who gives commandments which constitute a moral law for all humanity. This divine moral law is embodied in the codes set out in the first five books of the Bible, known as the Torah, developed in the later biblical works. 12:3 from the Torah states ‘And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curse thee: and in the shall all families of the earth be blessed.’ This text represents the belief in that there is a single God who created a moral law for humanity as stated before. A famous Judaism prayer known as the ‘Shema’ begins with "Hear, Israel:  the LORD is our God, the LORD is one". This simple line covers many diverse idea’s. These include; there is only one God, God is a unity, God is the only being who we should offer praise, any attempt to ascribe attributes to God is merely man's imperfect attempt to understand the infinite and No other being participated in the work of creation.
