As one of the fathers or biblical patriarchs, who promoted the whole belief in monotheism, Abraham (ic) sets a more inclusive concept than the more progressive Christianity which like a branch of a great tree presents one development of the same fundamental. Christianity as judaism and Islam are all 100% abrahamic in origin. Without Abraham there would be no Christianity, Judaism or Islam (at least as they stand now). Contrary to Paganism, Jediism or Humanism, the Abrahamic or Buddhist special study group reflect in their respective names the roots or foundation from which the study group origionates.

I like the idea that was brought up about subforums. As stated by others, that would work for all involved. It would bring correct labeling to the forum without leaving anyone out.

If Qui-Ran would agree to be someone in the Judaic Studies, that would be a great situation for all...

Since I have been here since the beginning, I can study, teach, etc. without getting confused... The beginning was a trial... But as we did think back then what would be simplified, we also knew that as items came along we would have to grow with it...

I don't think at this point sub-forums would be a hassel if the Council decides to go that way or how ever we go.

I look forward to seeing more discussion on this..

I think it's okay to call it Abrahamic because if you really study the bible (I being of Christian beliefs and studies) from what I understand from the lines of each religion each one spawned from the line (Genelogy) of Abraham. That is just my option and I don't find it offensive to say that the studies are from either of the other two I don't rally think anyone should be. Forgive me if anyone is by my views I don't want to offend anyone here or start an argument. Point being I think it's fine the way it is.

I hope no one minds me bringing this back to light again, but I was just wondering if there was an agreement on the subject?

From what I can tell quite a few people don't mind the fact that this is called Abrahamic, because the name refers back to the origin of Christianity (although there aren't any non-Christian topics)

Other people wouldn't mind having a set of sub-forums (or similar areas) to discuss the other main areas of Abrahamism under the name Abrahamic rite i.e. Judaism and Islam

That seems to be the general consensus that was arrived at (although someone please make sure I haven't missed anything :))

It comes to my understanding that this is primarily a site that focuses on the whole and not simply the part.

I think that "Abrahamic" Is very much accurate of the Christian faith as it such and springs forth from; however aside from my personal opinion does it matter? Who cares if it's labeled Christian, Abrahamic, Buddha, Pentecostal, or Catholicism? You know what you are and your ideals do not change no matter what you label yourself as. The reason why war exists is because of separatism. We are all human beings no matter the belief or non-belief. We are not individuals but merely fragments of the whole... and in that I conclude that change is not necessary in my opinion.

This is a rather old thread...

Anyways may the force be with you.
