Islam VS Judaism Vs Protestantism Vs Orthodoxy - A Question of Continuity - Jay Dyer
In his examination of the continuity among the Abrahamic faiths—Judaism, Islam, and Protestant Christianity—Jay Dyer argues that these religions must align with the teachings of the Old Testament to be considered true inheritors of the Abrahamic tradition. He discusses the importance of covenants and ritual practices, suggesting that only Orthodox Christianity genuinely retains this continuity and connection to the original teachings. Dyer critiques Protestantism for its interpretation of Scripture and worship practices, emphasizing that the structured, liturgical tradition of Orthodoxy reflects a richer continuity with ancient worship. He further explores the significance of key figures and practices, such as Melchizedek and the Eucharist, to illustrate how Orthodox Christianity encapsulates the fulfillment of old covenant rituals. Overall, Dyer claims that without the essential elements of priesthood and sacrificial atonement, the other faiths fail to maintain authentic continuity with the Old Testament.
