What is the human condition in Judaism, Islam, and Christianity? In Christian religion there is three parts of the God known as “The Trinity”. The trinity is made up of The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit. The condition for the salvation of Christianity is giving servant-hood to the Messiah and God. Tithing in Christianity is ten percent of the weekly or biweekly income to give more is known as a sacrifice and not as a tithing. Judaism is the first religion known as the “people” through this religion; the Jews were called to be the chosen people in both Judaism and Christianity. The book of Jews is the Torah which is the books of the law. Jews studied the Torah and learn to live by the law to grow closer to their God and fulfill the laws. The Tithing of Jews is the same in Christian rituals being at ten percent.
Islam studies the Qur’an which teaches of the five pillars to become closer to their God. These five pillars are Shanada, Prayer, Charity, Ramadan, and Hajj. Shanada is a testament of ones faith in the teaching and God of Islam, Prayer is for the five times a day one must pray to the God, Charity speaks of their tithing once a year of two and a half percent of all money the person owns, Ramadan is a monthly fasting for food or drink till the sun goes down, and finally Hajj which is the holy trip of pilgrimage to the city of Mecca.
In these “big three” religions that continue to dominate the amount of people throughout America, they all share some factors dealing with the entity of there being a God. Servant-hood also plays a factoring role in all three showing each person focuses on being a better person and living for something greater then ones self. Every breathe that’s breathed, and every step taken is thanks to the God of each religion.
