I’ve got a neighbor who’s offended by the term ‘Judeo-Christian’ and so instead says ‘Islamo-Judeo-Christian’. I kinda like it.

From Today’s*** RealClearReligion***, a column discussing the “differences” between Jewish and Christian belief regarding sinfulness and salvation.
Click on realclearreligion.org/articles/2011/10/07/rosh_hashanah_is_not_judeo-christian.html for the complete column.

Your comments and/or observations are welcome. Mine is posted as a “comment” to the article under the pseudonym of “Tea Party Jim”.

His points are very thought-provoking.

Good comment, JamestheOlder, aka “Tea Party Jim,” which I think rightly expresses the Catholic perspective, less sola fide than several of the Protestant perspectives. And some of those Christian differences have also been discussed in many threads on CAF and elsewhere. There are Jewish and Catholic (as well as other Christian) differences concerning sin and salvation, to be sure. However, as you state, there are certain interesting similarities as well, and it would be incorrect to ignore either the former or the latter. Despite the differences, let us certainly strive to live together in love and peace, learning and growing from each other’s traditions as well as our own. A Good Year to one and all!

There are two rousing threads going in the forums on the merits of Islam. Personally, I don’t believe we worship the same G-d as Muslims. The Judeo-Christian concept appears to concentrate on a just God, who is also all-merciful and all-loving. The Muslim Allah seems to be a bit more demanding and judgemental, but I’ll leave that to the other threads.

Peace.
