Answer 1

Christians believe that jesus is the son of God while muslims believe that he was a only phrophet

Muslims believe that Mohamed was the greatest and prophet and place his importance above Jesus

Most of the basic priciples in all religions are the same

Answer 2

Trying to draw similarities between Islam and Christianity is misleading. That is because the basic premise of these two beliefs are mutually exclusive.

Islam claims that Jesus is not the son of God; that Allah neither begat nor is begotten. Christianity states that Jesus is the only begotten son of God.

Islam claims that Jesus did not die on the cross. Islam does not point to Jesus Christ as the only way to the Father. Christianity teaches that Jesus died on the cross to pay for our sins, and that the only way to the Father is by the son.

Therefore, the god of Islam and the God of the bible are not the same God.

Conclusion: with these basic disparities, there is no point in trying to make these beliefs similar; they are as far apart as it gets.

Answer 3

To pretend that Christianity and Islam are "similar" beyond any cursory view is stretching, at best. Surah 5:51 Take no friends of Jews and Christians...also Surah 8 is all about killing the Jews and Christians, those who do not believe, and that a hundred can take a thousand soldiers and the like. They are not similar enough. Muhammad knew this, and resented the Jews for not accepting him.

Answer 4

The difference between them is the belief in Jesus.
Scientists have proven that Jesus really did all of the following:
he lived,
he preached love
he said he was God and that he was the Son of Man
he was crucified without crime

bottom line--- either he was who he said he was or he wasn't
if he was, then Christianity is right and he died for our sins
if he wasn't, then he was a well-behaved lunatic with a good message and died for no reason.

do or do not, there is no try.

you can't preach to thousands that you are God, be lying, and then still be the greatest of his prophets
either he was God or he was a lunatic, because if he was lying, then he really isn't the savior of the world and Christianity would unravel.
and that's for us all to decide, whether or not we believe that he is our savior

but he cannot, absolutely cannot be the greatest prophet if he preached to thousands and thousands that he was God and the only way to get to heaven was through.

Answer 5

Islam and Christianity are REMARKABLY similar.
They originated in the same parts of the world, by the same peoples.

However..... Islam is very clear that there are "infidels" - peoples of other faiths - who have no right to live. Islamics have free reign, religiously, to butcher people.

The ONLY equivalent in Christianity is "thou shalt not suffer a witch to live". Christianity focusese on forgiveness. No such thing in Islam.

They're both evil inspiring. But Islam is much worse.

Answer 6

There are similarities, but a huge part of Islam seems to be the stuff with Muhammad. Christianity does not accept that.

Answer 7

There are similarities. This is still the God of Abraham we are talking about. There are some major differences though. True Christians haven't initiated wholesale murder based on their interpretation of God's Word for a few hundred years now.

Answer 8

All religions teach submission and obedience to a What or a Who.
Jesus is the ONLY WAY to God. John 14:6
If you deny Jesus is the Son of the ONLY God, you are of the Spirit of Anti-Christ! 1John 2:22

Answer 9

Although major religions somewhat differ, they all have one thing in common: they teach love and respect for one another. Of course, unfortunately, all religions have some believers who take things too far they are what we call extremists. But to answer your question: Islam, Christianity as well as Judaism are very similar.

Answer 10

May Allah SWT be pleased with us keeping his name on our tounges. A muslim is not a muslim unless he believes in Isa and what Isa (p.b.u.h.) brought to us.
