Complete 5 pages APA formatted article: Jesus between Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. Judaism does not believe in the Christian concept of salvation that people are born in a state of sin and needs to be saved to inherit the kingdom of heaven. Instead, they insist that any person who sins should repent their sins and be forgiven.

A lot of debates have been discussed all over the world concerning these three aspects in the lifetime of Jesus in Islam. This essay compares Jesus known by the Muslims, Jews and what the Christians think of him (Ali, 124).

There is a similarity between Christians and Muslims that Jesus was born of the VirginMary, who was pure and clean at heart (Mk 3.16. 7.4 .). However, Muslims dispute that Jesus was not the son of God but one of His prophets. In the Holy Quran, God communicates to the people that Jesus was an ordinary man just like Adam both molded from the soil through God’s power. Muslims thus hold on that Jesus was not the son of God since he was made just like Adam who has never been referred to as the son of God (Al-Imran, 59-60). Christians on the other side have a strong belief that Jesus was the son of God who was born through the power of the Holy Spirit without the sexual act between Mary and Joseph, who had betrayed her. Attributing Jesus to the son of God in Islam is thus disputed since it is a concept that means that Allah slept with Mary so as to give birth to Jesus which is not true (Quran, 3:45-47). In contrast, in Judaism, the promised Messiah who is Jesus Christ was born from a royal family but not from the humble background as the son of the carpenter as they put it. Unlike Christianity who believes that Jesus' mission was to save making from the bondage of sin Judaism expectations of the messiah was one who would uphold the Judaism law. However, Jesus never accomplished this because he rebuked Jewish leaders of hypocrisy. The Judaism expectations of a messiah were of a political leader who would bind the people with the government from the Davidic lineage (Johnson 144).

Christians assert that Jesus was both human and divine being born in form of a man where the Virgin Mary conceived over the power of the Holy Spirit. As such, (Mt 9.34) Christians worship Jesus as the son of God.
