Detailed explanation-1: -Jews were monotheists-they believed in and worshipped only one god. This stands out to historians because monotheism was relatively unique in the ancient world. Most ancient societies were polytheistic-they believed in and worshiped multiple gods.
Detailed explanation-2: -Jews believe that God is complex and has many qualities. They believe that God is: Eternal – God has always existed and will always exist. Omnipotent-God is all-powerful and able to choose to do all things that are consistent with his nature.
Detailed explanation-3: -The three religions of Judaism, Christianity and Islam readily fit the definition of monotheism, which is to worship one god while denying the existence of other gods.
Detailed explanation-4: -In Judaism, God is an absolute one, indivisible and incomparable being who is the ultimate cause of all existence. In Hinduism, gods are considered to have a similar status to another when distinct, but may also be seen as “aspects or manifestations of a single, transcendent god", or an “impersonal absolute".
