The G-d element is a matter of belief.
All three Monotheistic faiths believe in a a living G-d, that’s of coarse the base of it all.
I am trying to have a rational discussion with you about belief systems and their differences.
G-d does not understand all the mortal squabbling about who is right or wrong regarding a belief in Him.
I cannot negate Islam or Christianity or Judaism or apply a mathematical/logical construct to have one or two of the three cancel out. I think you’re trying to say if Christianity is true then Islam cannot exist (x or x) only.
As a Jew I can say that my belief system was handed down from Mount Sinai to the entire nation of Israel (roughly 600,000 souls) at the same moment, witnessed by the entire nation at one shot. Not passed down from a small cadre of elite.
So, if ALL the Jews witnessed it and swore to observe it does that negate Christ? Christ adhered to this view.
It is not my intention to use a belief process of elimination to cancel you or a Muslim out AS TRUTH. I am merely stating that all three claim most of the same things because their root is the same, for all mankind.
How one PRACTICES it is where so many differ...

Really? I thought that was the Tem Commandments? Leviticus, etc was written outside of that single revelation to the whole nation of Israel. The Talmud was written by men much later and isn’t that what permits you to negate the temple and priestly requirements of Leviticus?

I am telling you that this is not true. Islam does not claim the same things as Christianity. It claims opposite things.
If God is just a “matter of belief” then there is no God. To get this back to the OP, this is the problem with those 80% of American Jews who vote with the Progressives. God is just a cultural artifact for many of them, as he is for a lot of Progressive “Christians” too.
