The World's Religions Trivia Quiz

Answer: Judaism, Christianity, and Islam

Many scholars of Judaism, Islam, and Christianity agree that the same God is being worshipped among them but that He is worshipped differently in each religion. Jesus, who is the fundamental person in Christianity, was raised a Jew. Jesus Christ was considered the Son of God by Christians not Jews. Muslims also are divided on the belief that Christ was the Son of God. Abraham, a key person in Jewish and Christian heritage, had two sons Isaac and Ishmael. Ishmael's descendants began the worship of God with the key person being Muhammad who they believe was a prophet sent from God. Thus Isaac and Ishmael link the three religions to all be serving the same God but in different ways.

Answer: Muslims

Muslims have different branches within the religion including Sunnis and Shiites.

Answer: Abraham

Abraham was married to Sarah and because she could not have children he took Hagar as his second wife. Hagar bore him a child whom they named Ishmael. When Sarah finally bore Abraham a child they named him Isaac. Once Isaac was born Sarah demanded Hagar leave with Ishmael. Ishmael's descendants formed the Muslim religion. Isaac's descendants helped form the Christian branch of Judaism before the Rabbinic Council eradicated the Christians from the Jewish religion in 90 CE. Isaac also played a large part in Judaism.

Answer: Christianity

Followers of Christ were called Christian Jews. Those who did not believe Jesus was the Messiah were called Rabbinic Jews. They were called this until the Rabbinic Council convened and decided Christians could no longer be Jewish. Christian Jews these days are called Messianic Jews - they are Jews who accept Christ as their Messiah.
