The muslims and jews don't believe in jesus, so the new testament doesn't fit for them.

[Vanguard3000]

It's metaphorical (or at least, most people interperet it that way).

[Caid Ivik]

Read them, and you'll see, why.

[Cyborg]

It's metaphorical (or at least, most people interperet it that way).

Yes, the bible is the most metaphorical book I have ever seen.

And the Muslims don't believe in the Old Testament as we have it in the Bible. Their holy book, the Qur'an, is based on the OT, yes, but with many small (and a few large) differences.

The Jewish holy book, the Torah, is what we call the Old Testament. They're the exact same thing, except Christians also have the New Testament.

[nemafakei]

Most of Islam generally acceps Jesus as a prophet, but not a messiah.

I believe Judaism generally considers Jesus to be a false prophet, or similar.

The OT/Torah is implied by Qu'ran, but it is said to have been dictated to Mohammed by the angel Jibril, rahter than having been written and passed down like the Torah.

[Terror]

Qu'ran heh, you people make such strange and weird words, we just call it the "Koran"

[Acriku]

In Judaism, Jesus is recognized as a teacher, no more no less.

[exatreide]

i thought jesus was recognized as a rebel, trying to change the ways of judism.....

sorta update it....

since jesus was a jew....

[Acriku]

My congregation was a bit passive in these terms.

Ok, one at a time.

How come christians,muslims and jews all believe in the old testament but not the new ~?

Not all Christans and/or muslilms do. Christans esp. Not all Christans belive the Bible is the Word of God. Not all Christans want to serve the Lord and do whats right. Not all Christans don't want to stir up Church havoc.

as for muslims i have no clue.

But I dont believe a single word about

well everone can have there own view on things.

Abram[Abraham] having a child at 99[if i m not wrong]

its at 90 and his wife only because God allowed it.

and about the cities of sodom and [forgot the second one] getting destroyed and Lot's wife looked back and supplied them with salt for their cooking

No, she looked back at the wicked city and turned into salt.
