The difference is prophecy. Islam involves a claim of prophecy in our own age of the world, i.e. within the last 2500 years. Neither Judaeism nor Christianity involve such a claim.

There is ample reason to believe that the last real prophet died around 2500 years ago, and that any claims of such phenomena in our own age are bogus.

I predict that someone will dispute your claim.

(You heard it here first, folks!)

I read the stuff in your link!

I knew most of this already, but I could certainly not ever be as eloquent in my conveyance of my know.

I am, hmm, "slow of speech." When I say that "I knew", I mean that I have considered a lot of these thing for a very long time. More than half of my life!

I will need another read tomorrow.

I must tell you, I love this stuff.

Thank you for posting it!

I read your link and it was really fascinating. I wondered at the phrase "shall not wear a rough garment to deceive" Could this refer to some scratchy, nappy, woolen thing which would encourage static electricity?

I also was reminded of the "universal subconscious" concept of (if I understand/remember correctly) Jung.

Anyway, to paraphrase the Rush Limbaugh parody of James Carville denouncing Ken Starr for tormenting Susan McDougall in her jail cell with brain waves...let's send "good vibrations" to the Muslims and occasion the world wide rejection of their faith, and conversion to better religions. You know what I mean, religions that have as their stated aims peace, charity, and justice. I will not proselytize for any particular one, but I will say that there are several to freely choose from, and I will start my electrostatic transmissions of faith now.

St. John was the last prophet. His prophecies are found in the book of the Revelation of Jesus Christ. Many of his prophecies are similar to those of Isaiah from 7 or 8 centuries earlier.
