Question:
What is the difference between the Jahmiyyah and the Jabriyyah? Are they one sect with different names?

Answer:
The Jabriyyah are the Jahmiyyah. Jahm ibn Safwan combined jabr (compulsion) with irja' (postponing judgment), so he was a Murji'i, and he combined that with tashbih (likening Allah to creation), which is the denial of the attributes. He combined three things starting with the letter J. Yes.
