What is the difference between Abraham and Jesus?

Answer 1

Moses and Jesus were similar because they both interceded for the people of Israel and they tried to save them. In many ways, Jesus was considered like the "second Moses" because Moses was born before Jesus.

______________________________________________________

There are MANY Parallels between Moses (Moshe) and Yeshua (Jesus) Duet.18:15-18 is a Prophecy for the Messiah: "A Prophet like Moses from among his brethren."

1) As Babies, they both were saved miraculously under the age of two.

2) They Both did Miracles.

3) Both Moses and Yeshua are born in a time of national bondage0a time of trouble.

4) They Both were Saviors and appeared after Israel waited for generation for its redemption. The Exodus when Moses sits up the pattern for Yeshua to be the Redeemer and Passover Lamb to take the Sins of not only Israel way, but that of the whole world.

5) Both were Concealed/Hidden under the age of two before utimately being revealed to Israel.

6) Both were Rejected as Saviors: although the people said they would follow Moses, as soon as it seemed he wasn't coming back down, they made a golden calf and sinned, splitting the group. Yeshua had to be rejected in order to die as our Passover Lamb, but He wasn't cold in the tomb when His followers rejected Him. But they stated coming back as did many with Moses at the mountain.

7) another Parallel is when Moses redeemed Israel and sat up the Mishkan -(the Tabernacle) in the wilderness with the Ark of the Coveanant and YAHVEH came between the two Cherubim in a cloud. But He would talk Face to Face with Moses, only He had to be in a cloud, no one could look at YAH face and live.

Likewise Yeshua after achieving our redemption on that very special Passover with His life, He set up a dwelling place for the Ruach HaKosh (the Holy Spirit), that dwelling place is our bodies, & now were are a living sacrifice. The veil also tore into (it was 4 feet thick) and the veil represents Yeshua;s flesh & we have access to the Holy Place anytime we want to come to Him.

8) The Both were MESSIAHs (meaning Anointed ones), they were Kadosh (means Holy or Set Apart) for a mission. Of course Yeshua is THE 'ANOINTED ONE'

9) The Both were Prophets: Numbers 12:6-8 says: "When a Prophet of YAHVEH is among you, I reveal Myself to him in visions, I speak to him in dreams. But this is not so of My servant Moshe: he is faithful in all My House. With him I speak mouth to mouth, clearly and not in riddles."

10) beside the obvious, the Both were Hebrews & Israelites.

11) Both Chosen to Lead the People, anyone who would become part of Israel: in the Exodus many gentiles joined themselves and walk out with Israel, and After the giving of the Holy Spirt to just Jews in Acts 2, Gentiles then were welcomed in Acts 10:11, Peters vision shows us that in Acts 10:28.

12) Both chose 12 to follow and lead.

13) Both Chose a Life of Hardship

14) Both are Judges

and I'm sure there more similarities.

Answer 2

In the Book of Genesis, the story of Isaac parallels the story of Abraham so much that Abraham and Isaac could once have been one and the same person in early Hebrew legend. So, if Jesus and Isaac are alike, then Jesus and Abraham must also be alike. Beyond this, it is hard to find any close parallels between Jesus, from the gospel story, and Isaac.

Answer 3

* Both Muhammad and Jesus taught and believed about one true God.

• Neither Jesus or Muhammad wrote a book but their followers wrote about them and there stories and preachings.

Both Jesus and Muhammad Peace Be Upon Them knew about each other from the revelation from God.

Muhammad Peace Be Upon Him was mentioned by name in The Bible and Jesus Peace Be Upon Him was mentioned by name in the Quran.

ANSWERThe only similarity between Jesus and Mohammad in the strict sense was the outward appearance as a human. There are more dissimilarities between Jesus and Mohammad than similarity. Most people consider that both taught about the same ONE God. However, close examination proves that the God Jesus called Father is different from the god Mohammad called Allah. The character of both were entirely different. Jesus was sinless according to the Scripture and Mohammad was a sinner accrding to Quran. Jesus never killed anyone, Jesus came from heaven, Jesus performed miracles, Jesus came as the Savior of the world thru His sacrificial death on the cross and Jesus claimed to be the Son of God. All these points are dissimilar from Mohammad.

Answer 4

they are wise people

Answer:

They founded Judaism. According to tradition, Abraham founded Judaism, and Moses later received the Torah from God.

Abraham, tenth generation descendant of Noah, of Hebrew lineage, was the son of Terah, uncle of Lot, father of Isaac, grandfather of Jacob, and ancestor of the Israelites. His story is in Genesis ch.11 (end), through ch.25. Jewish tradition states that he was the first to teach belief in One God; and it is in his merit that Jews continue to exist (Genesis 18:19, and ch.17).

Abraham (18th century BCE) came from ancestry that had been God-fearing a couple of centuries earlier but had afterwards slipped into idolatry (Joshua 24:2). Nimrod, the idolatrous tyrant, had brought Abraham's father (Terah) from the Semitic ancestral seat near the conjunction of the Balikh and the Euphrates, and instated him in a position of power in his army in the royal Babylonian city of Ur, where Abraham was born. Nimrod persecuted any who would question his idolatrous cult.

The Kuzari (Rabbi Judah HaLevi, 1075-1141) states that Abraham was gifted with high intelligence; and, as Maimonides (1135-1204) describes, Abraham didn't blindly accept the ubiquitous idolatry. The whole populace had been duped, but the young Abraham contemplated the matter relentlessly, finally arriving at the conclusion that there is One God and that this should be taught to others as well. This is what is meant by his "calling out in the name of the Lord" (Genesis ch.12). As a young man, he remonstrated with passersby in public, demonstrating to them the falsehood of their idols; and our tradition tells how he was threatened and endangered by Nimrod.

Subsequently, Terah relocated to Harran; and it is here that Abraham began to develop a circle of disciples (Rashi commentary, on Genesis 12:5).

Later, God told Abraham in prophecy to move to the Holy Land, which is where Abraham raised his family.

He continued his contemplations, eventually arriving at the attitudes and forms of behavior which God later incorporated into the Torah given to Moses. Abraham taught disciples (Talmud, Yoma 28b), gave tithes (Genesis ch.14), strove to raise a family (Genesis ch.15, 17, and 24) which would serve God (Genesis 18:19), made a covenant with God (Genesis ch.15 and 17), welcomed guests into his home (Genesis ch.18) unlike the inhospitable Sodomites (Genesis ch.19), prayed for people (Genesis ch.18), rebuked others when necessary (Genesis ch.20), eulogized and buried the deceased (Genesis ch.23), and fulfilled God's will unquestioningly (Genesis ch.22). He became renowned as a prince of God (Genesis 23:6).

All of these forms of behavior were based upon the ways of God, which Abraham comprehended through his contemplations. These, and similar personality traits, were the teachings of Abraham and his descendants.

It is therefore clear why God expresses His love for Abraham (Isaiah 41:8) and calls Himself the God of Abraham (Genesis 26:24), and says that Abraham obeyed Him fully (Genesis 26:5). And this is why, according to our tradition, Abraham is credited with having begun the religion which became known as Judaism. However, Abraham and his descendants observed their traditions voluntarily, until the Giving of the Torah to Moses 3325 years ago, when God made it obligatory.

Moses was born 245 years after the death of Abraham. Pharaoh had decreed that Israelite boys be killed (Exodus ch.1), but the daughter of Pharaoh took pity on the infant Moses (Exodus ch.2) and raised him as her own son. He was forced to flee after killing a cruel Egyptian taskmaster, and went to Midian, where he wedded the daughter of Jethro. He eventually achieved the highest level of prophecy (Deuteronomy ch.34) and was called upon by God (Exodus ch.3). He brought the Israelites out of Egyptian slavery (Exodus ch.12). He received the Torah from God (Exodus 24:12) and later recorded it in writing (Deuteronomy 31:24). He went up on Mount Sinai for 40 days and nights (Deuteronomy ch.9-10) and brought down the Two Stone Tablets with the Ten Commandments (Exodus 31:18). He brought the Israelites into the covenant with God (Exodus ch.19 and ch.24), and he oversaw the building of the Tabernacle (Exodus ch.35-40). He was the humblest of men and the greatest of prophets (Numbers ch.12).

Answer 5

Well, for one, Jesus is the Son of God, Abraham is not. Jesus came to the earth to save us, Abraham came to learn, like us. There's so much to how different they are that I'm going to recommend you look it up in the Bible.

Answer 6

They both spoke to God and led a long journey.
