The reasons why Jews, Christians and Muslims should love each other

Jews, Christians, and Muslims share a common root: faith in the One GOD of Abraham. Yet throughout history, misunderstandings, conflicts, and partial interpretations have often obscured this original fraternity. In this post, we explore the theological, historical, and moral reasons why the three great Abrahamic traditions not only can, but should, recognize one another as partners in goodness. From their shared prophetic heritage to the commandment of love for one’s neighbor, a simple yet profound truth emerges: unity does not mean uniformity, but mutual respect grounded in the awareness of belonging to the same Covenant.

Do Children Pay for the Sins of Their Fathers?

Exodus 20 states that the iniquity of the fathers may reach the third and fourth generation, while Ezekiel 18 declares that a child shall not bear the iniquity of the father. Is this a contradiction? Only apparently. Scripture distinguishes between the consequences of sin, which may pass through generations, and personal moral responsibility before GOD. Understanding this distinction shows why context, language, and the Law are essential for interpreting the Bible correctly.

Simple Theology: Understanding GOD and the Meaning of Life

Beyond the most complex doctrines and interpretations that have accumulated over the centuries, Judaism, Christianity, and Islam all uphold one essential principle: every human being is personally accountable to GOD and can choose each day to better themselves.

From Jacob’s Ladder to the Christian paths of holiness, to the purification of the soul in the Islamic tradition, the image that emerges is that of a gradual journey toward GOD, open equally to women and men. Doing good, correcting one’s ways, persevering, and continuing to ascend: for what we sow today prepares what we will reap tomorrow.
