In the days of Jesus and the apostle Paul, the Romans believed in many gods (Acts 17:22-31).

Out of all the major religions; Islam, Judaism and Christianity who believe in just one God, all of them believe in the Torah (first five books in the Old Testament). What truly separates these faiths is Jesus being the Son of God (The Messiah) and that He was raised from the dead.

Islam and Judaism believe that Jesus was a prophet. The question must be asked; do prophets of God lie?

The “prophet” Jesus states that “I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father (God) except through me” (John 14:6).
