There are a lot of similarities and differences between the two stories I will be covering on, the Iroquois Creation story and the Judeo-Christian Creation story. At first I will be covering the similarities of the two and later I will be covering the differences between the two.
Now there were quite a few similarities between the two stories and I’m gonna start out with how they both have a Forbidden Tree that the humans are not supposed to eat from like for instants, in the Judeo-Christian story And the LORD God commanded the man, “You are free to eat from any tree in the garden; but you must not eat from the tree of knowledge of good and evil, for if you eat from it you will certainly die.” (Genesis 2, 16-17), and in the Iroquois Creation

    Skyworld: Similarities Between The Bible And The Tree Of Knowledge

    Both stories start off with a sacred tree, but the trees in both stories are sacred for two different reasons. In Skyworld, the tree is the bearer of the land, everyone can eat it fruits that it gives but they absolutely cannot touch the trees roots otherwise it may hurt it, since the tree is the main resource for food on Skyworld; everyone respects this great privilege except for one. In the Bible the Garden of Eden contained two different trees, one was the Tree of Knowledge, if one was to eat the fruits from this tree they would have the ability to have knowledge and experience and the other tree was the Tree of Life which granted immortality but God commanded Adam and Eve to never eat the fruits from the Tree of Knowledge. But temptation…

    Similarities Between The World On Turtle's Back And The Iroquois

    In the creation myth “The World on Turtle’s Back” the Iroquois Native Americans describe their beliefs about the creation of the world and humanity.

Creation is not meant to be fully comprehended by humans; our job is to have faith and believe. The dilemma with viewing Creation as a problem correlates into saying faith is a problem. Evolution also needs faith too, and it can also be seen as a challenging doctrine.…

    Similarities Between Christianity And Sumerian Religion

    Throughout human history a nearly innumerable amount of cultures have risen, each developing their own sets of sociological norms and beliefs. In complex societies, like Sumer, these norms developed further into laws or were expressed in religious texts. In History Begins at Sumer, Samuel Noah Kramer identifies parallels among the religious literature of ancient Sumerian society and the modern holy book of Christianity, the Bible. While there are certainly many differences among the Sumerian religion and Christianity, Kramer offers enough evidence to be persuasive in his belief that Christianity (among other religions) borrowed upon ideas and literature from Sumerian society.…
