Great responses everyone! To summarize:
- Differences exist in the way that forgiveness is shown/ revealed. Judaism's understanding is that there is a special covenant with God, and that there is onus on the individual follower to maintain relationship. Islamic understanding reveals Allah as all knowing and accepting. Christian understanding reveals God as ready to accept repentance when one offers it.

The similarities in belief around this theme is that they all believe in the compassion and forgiveness of God. God shows patience, compassion, and kindness towards everyone and what God shows us is what leads us to repentance. He is ready to accept all because he is all-compassionate.

The main difference in the theme between the 3 verses is that in the Quran there are specific words that tell the believer what sins can be repentable as compared to the Christians and Jewish beliefs which is stated in the Tanak and New Testament has more of a broader idea.

The differences in belief around this theme are the use of the word God. Christians and Jews use the term God or Lord to refer to God, while Muslims refer to God as Allah because that is the Arabic form of God. Another difference is that in the Qur’an the reading focuses more on who and how sins are committed in order to repent and receive forgiveness while the New Testament and the Tanak are more general by just saying how God is kind and compassionate and how he will pardon sins if you ask for forgiveness.

I the theme of God's grace and power to save the sinners of the world that come to God for repentance, he is the one who sets out or rules and laws and we have an obligation to follow them.

A difference in belief around the theme comes from how people name God in their holy texts to describe their relationship with God. In the Bible and the Torah, they address God as LORD while in the Quran, he is referred to as Allah. I believe this is because of their relationship with God. Those who practice the Jewish and Christian faith believe that they are God's chosen people and because his name is so sacred, they use the word LORD to address him in their holy texts. In Islam, they mention God's name in the Quran around roughly 2698 times. Instead of using the word LORD, the Muslims use the name "Allah" along with his other names to describe him. These differences exist because of the difference in language and their relationship with Him.

A common theme among these readings is that each is about God forgiving those who sin against Him or otherwise don’t believe in Him. As well as that only those who seek out the “repentance” may receive it, those who do not seek out God cannot be truly forgiven for their sins. Although most of the sins that are mentioned are sins acted out of ignorance, which shows how that they still must be recognized by the individual to be forgiven as well. Only with this in mind can a person have God recognize and absolve their sins.

The common themes that I see among the readings is that if we follow and trust in God, he can become our savior, as he is the Lord our King who will be the only one saving us all.

The common themes I see among the readings are that all three talk about how great God is and about sin. They all state that God is ready to forgive but only if the individual is in repentance (regret).

In both the Tanak and the New Testament, they mention the word Lord or God, but then in the Qur'an they never mention any name and they refer to them as "him". This is because there is controversy between the actual name such as Yahweh or Allah and also in the Qur'an Allah has 99 names all for a different attribute of him to make him easier to understand and relate to

A similarity in belief around the theme is that they all believe God is compassionate and forgiving. We should not be afraid to ask for forgiveness, but rather
be close enough in relationship where we know we can turn to Him without fear of judgement. As long as we repent (express genuine regret or remorse for our sins), God will have mercy on us and forgive.
