Thread: what's difference among "Roman Catholicism" and "Protestant churchs","Judaism"?

here is a Christian church,I think they are Protestant people,because i heard they pray before dinner(thank the God give them food);

in Clinton's book"My life",he said there are some Un-Judaism in the USA.he also said when Kennedy run for President election,some people don't like him,because he is "Roman Catholicism"
so i would like to know what's difference among "Roman Catholicism" and "Protestant churchs","Judaism"?

by the way,i heard Islam have same source with Chrits,Allah is another name of Jehovah

Judaism, Christianity, and Islam are all part of the Abrahamic religious lineage. Christianity in origin was a Jewish sect, and Islam is strongly influenced by Jewish and Christian teachings. In Muslim belief, some Jewish and Christian holy figures, including Moses and Jesus, were prophets of God.

During the later history of the Roman Empire, Christianity was the state religion. An official Roman Church existed, sanctioned by the state. After the Western Empire fell, this church split in two. The western part became the Roman Catholic Church.

In the 16th century, many European Christians, especially in northern Europe, rebelled against the Catholic Church and created the first Protestant denominations. Other Protestant churches have evolved since then.

I hope that answers your questions.

For all of the wars that have been fought between people who worship different gods, the ugliest wars in human history have been fought between people who disagree over how to worship the same god.

No, Roman Catholics do it too.

A continuation of the old religious wars. It was probably the last vestige of the serious worry that Catholics would serve the Pope in Rome over their own country.

Judaism is a separate religion. Catholicism has one central authority - the Pope - and is characterised by things like a greater emphasis on the Virgin Mary and an official ban on things like contraception, abortion and IVF, although many Catholics ignore this. They also ban women from serving as priests.

There are many different Protestant denominations, ranging from very liberal to very conservative, although there's less emphasis on the Virgin Mary, saints and a general assumption that they read the Bible more. The Protestant Churches do not accept the Apocrypha, a set of disputed texts that the Catholic Church accepts as scripture.

Islam was founded by the Prophet Mohammad. He claimed that Jesus was only a prophet, but that he served the one true god. Technically it's a continuation or perversion of both Judaism and Christianity, depending on your outlook.

Technically the 3 are continuations of each other; worshiping what is essentally the same god. Judaism came first (old testiment is basically the Torah) and Christianity started out as a judaic sect, from the belief that the promised messigha (SP) had come. Judaism believes he is still to come. Islam then built on Christianity and Judaism by accepting that all of Judeo-Christian propets and saying Jesus was a prophet. To them Mohammed was the last prophet and Islam is gods final version of the religion.

Roman-Ctaholics and protestants split over a variety of factors; the translation of the bible, the decoration of churches etc.

Hard to say TBH-I britian it was over divorse and the King James Bible, for example. Mainly it was due too people refusing to accept the Popes authority over national leaders though-and differing interpretations of the bible.

Oh, they'res another (major) form of Christianity; Orthadox/Greek Christianity...

Probably true. It's hard for me to remember my history so I depend on others to spark my memory or introduce new stuff to me. That's a pretty great thing about this site for those of us who didn't formally study history. Thanks.

Yes, the enantiomer of Roman Catholicism.

Catholics drink more.
