This paper tries to find common ground between Christianity, Islam and Judaism on the issue of what they believe and hope for.
All these faiths seem to have the same belief in a Messiah who will come for a particular mission later on in the future for the benefit of all humans. They may refer to these messianic figures differently but careful studies have shown that the expected duties are the same in the three Abrahamic faiths.
Did you know that the Christians are expecting a Messiah?
Did you know that the Muslims are expecting a Mahdi?
Did you know that the Jews are expecting a Mashiach?
This paper analyses their coming and purposes and shows how they are supposed to meet and agree somewhere while we fight and disagree here.
If we can understand and see the commonalities, then there is absolutely no need to promote our differences at the expense of being united. Find out for yourself.
