Belief in Jesus and Unity in Faith

"Jesus cried out, 'Whoever believes in Me does not believe in Me alone, but also in Jehovah who sent Me.'"
~ John 12:44

Through Jesus Christ, "you are no longer foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints, and of the household of Jehovah."
~ Ephesians 2:19

"There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is no male and female, for you are all One (One Church, One Nation, One Country, One World Body) in Christ Jesus."
~ Galatians 3:28

Common Ground Among Faiths

Shared Belief in Jesus (Isa):

Both Christians and Muslims revere Jesus:

• Christians view Jesus as the Savior and Son of God.

• Muslims see Isa (Jesus) as a Prophet of Islam and the Messiah.

In different languages, Jesus is referred to as:

• "Jesus" in English

• "Isa" in Arabic

• "Iēsoûs" in the original Greek from which the New Testament was translated.

​

Abraham: A Unifying Patriarch

Jews and Muslims share a common ancestor in Father Abraham, as both trace their lineage to his sons:

• Ishmael: Ancestor of Muslims

• Isaac: Ancestor of Jews/Hebrews

This connection highlights their brotherly relationship and the shared foundation of their faiths.

​

All three Abrahamic religions—Judaism, Christianity, and Islam—are monotheistic, believing in one God:

• Jehovah in English

• Yahweh in Hebrew

• Allah in Arabic

​

Abraham in Scripture:

Abraham (pronounced "Ahv-reh-homm" in Hebrew and "Ibrahim" in Arabic) is a central figure in all three faiths. His story emphasizes themes of faith, obedience, and covenant with God, as recounted in the Hebrew Bible, the Christian Bible, and the Quran.

​

Language and Biblical Texts

It’s important to note that the names Jehovah and Jesus are pronounced differently in various languages. The English Bible is derived not from the original texts but from the Latin Bible.

​

The Bible was originally written in Greek, Aramaic, and Hebrew.

• Aramaic, the language Jesus spoke, is closely related to Arabic.

For example, in Mark 15:34, Jesus cried out in Aramaic:
"Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?"

Which is translated as: "My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?"

Biblical names and phrases are often pronounced differently across languages, reflecting the diversity of cultures and traditions around the world.

Striving for Peace and Unity

• Hebrews 12:14: "Strive for peace with everyone."

• Hebrew (עברים יב:14): "שאפו לשלום עם כולם"

• Quran (Sahih al-Bukhari, 6018): "قل خيرًا أو اصمت" ("Speak good, or remain silent.")
