Christianity, Judaism, and Islam tend to be some of the most understood and easily accessible because they are so popular among the western countries. Each one has clear problem and solution. With Christianity, the problem is Original sin, from which came from the original story of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. In Judaism the “Chosen People” are waiting on the Messiah and which will ultimately lead to the Promise land. Islam uses the Quran as their solvent giving them 5 main standards of living.

Unlike most eastern religions, all three of these have clear deities, afterlives, and clear definitions of what’s wrong and right. In Christianity, the Bible teaches of Jesus Christ’s life and the Hebrew Law. Judaism abides by the Torah and the Talmud. Islam follow the teaching of the Quran, which was dictated by the angel Gabriel and written by the prophet Mohammed.

These religions definitely spoke to me, most likely because Christianity is what I’ve been raised up in. I think I enjoyed them also because I got a lot of questions answered that I never knew or was never able to get a complete answer on. Judaism has always been a mystery to me just because I always knew it had a lot of historical connections to Christianity but never quite knew what they were.

In the end, I choose truth. My truth is that Jesus Christ is my savior and that He is the way the truth and the life. God is my supreme Lord and takes upon my fears, worries, and uncertainties.
