I only have a familiarity with Christianity and the “no other gods before me” thing. I am curious what other religions have to say about it.

    Interestingly, Christianity is compatible with Judaism and Islam in that regard, though I’m not sure exactly what the other two say in kind.

    The Christian God is the Muslim Allah, who is also the Hebrew Yahweh. All the exact same being.

      Christianity embraces the God of the Torah but rejects the Muslim faith. There are exceptions but mainstream no.

        You’re close, but some Christians would argue that the god worshipped by those of Jewish faith is not the same god either and therefore not embrace that god. Those Christians would say that since Jesus revealed the trinitarian (Father, Son, and Spirit) nature of their god, to reject that nature is to worship a different god altogether. Similar to how Muslims acknowledge their shared history and feel a respect for Judaism and Christianity, those Christians accept and respect those of Jewish faith, but will still point out their incomplete understanding of the god the Christians worship.
