so both of them are praying to the same God thro different Prophets or Messiah, then how can any one claim christ is the only way to God or Muhamad is the only way to God????
IN MY OPINION WE ARE FIGHTING FOR NO REASON AND JUST FORGETTING GOD, LOVE AND NATURE!!!!

The two faiths do not recognize each other as holding the truth. I think you're gonna have to choose based on your understanding of God.

Jesus was the Son of God by His own testimony at Jesus baptism. Jesus said that He was the way, the truth and the life and nobody could come to the Father but by Him. Now where did Mumanad ever get that kind of testimony for him? I would say based on this alone that Jesus was the One to go for and believe. The ONLY way to God as He said. After all, He was the Son of God or He could not have done the wonderful things He did. I won't fight on this matter as I will let God do the fighting for me. Anyone not wanting to believe it, it is their problem. Peace!!

Christ Jesus is the only messiah. Muhammud was a false prophet and allah was a false demon god and a carry over from the persians. If you study ancient history u will see this. Jesus is arisen from the grave, muhammud isn't. Hey, my bet is on Christ Jesus. I hate being on the losing side. But seriously, really, this muhammud charecter was a false prophet trying to get a jihad going to get in on the action when the Roman empire was still up for grabs. read about it. it is pretty cool.

Well, you see, Jesus claimed to be the only way to get to God ( I'm the WAY,TRUTH LIFE, the only way to the Father by which every person { including you } must come.John 14:6 )
I think Muhammad would have said that Allah is the only way, not, "Muhammad is the only way". At any rate, Jesus' tomb is empty, Muhammad is still in the grave...For me and my house, we'll believe Jesus.

The muslims beleive in Jesus, but the last prophet of God came after Jesus and that is Muhammad who preached the final religion for all to follow. the christians do not accept that there is another prophet after Jesus, so they dont beleive in Muhammad. Well freedom of religion, of choice of thoughts etc. Religion aside, let us all be humane!

Both are NOT prophets ...only Jesus
The Bible calls Muhammed a "false' prophet".
"Who is a liar but he that denies that Jesus is the Christ? He is anti-Christ, that denies the Father and the Son. He that denies the Son, the same has not the Father." (I John 2:22)

The original, unchanged revelations given to Abraham and other prophets(like Moses and Jesus ) reaching back to Adam all came from the One True God(The Creator). This common origin explains their similarities in many beliefs and values
However, over time the teachings of the various religions, due to a variety of reasons, have become distorted and mixed with made-man ideas.
The last Prophet and Messenger of God, Muhammad , who is a direct descendant of Abraham through his first born son, Ishmael, was sent with the Last Guidance, Revelation and Testament, the Holy Qur'an(koran) to amend and correct the changes and corruption made to the the "Torah" which was sent to Moses and theTrue Gospel of Jesus.To say the truth ,God preserved all the other Holy Books plainly by preserving His Last Book the Holy Qur'an(koran)which contains the right and the truth of all that was changed in those other Books.
This is why this last Revelation which was sent 1423 years ago has remained unchanged, not even a word or a letter has been altered.
There is not even one word of difference between two Arabic Qur'ans, anywhere in the world. There has been no disagreements in history among Muslims as to what should and should not be in the Qur'an. However, in the case of the Bible, even the most ancient manuscripts conflict with one another so that no two are identical. Footnotes in all modern versions of the Bible prove this fact.
These revisions serve as concrete proofs that all the Biblical books are not at all divinely inspired. This is because it is beyond man's ability to correct the work of his Creator, who alone is Almighty and perfect
It was only natural for Almighty God to preserve the scripture revealed to Prophet Muhammad, because he was the last Prophet and Final Messenger of God.
Islam teaches us that we must pray directly to God without an intermediary and no soul can bear the burden of another and that the nature of humanity is good, and we did not inherit sin from Adam. Each soul comes into being free of sin.in Islam there are no priests or clergy -- each worshipper, man or woman, has a direct relationship with their Merciful Creator -- Almighty God. Since God is the Owner and Sustainer of everything, as well as the only one who can provide true and complete forgiveness, it is completely futile to try to approach Him through anyone else.
The oneness and universality of God's message requires that people accept all the messengers of God. Rejecting one of them amounts to rejecting them all. The Jews reject Jesus's mission and Muhammad's mission; the Christians reject Muhammad's mission; whereas the Muslims accept them all, but reject incorrect historical interpretations and human elements in these missions.
As the Qur'an is the final revelation and Muhammad is the final prophet, humanity is obligated to accept it: "If anyone desires a religion other than Islam, never will it be accepted of him; and in the Hereafter he will be in the ranks of those who have lost all spiritual good" (3:86).
The Final Prophet Muhammad said: "Whoever believes there is no god but God, alone without partner, that Muhammad is His messenger, that Jesus is messenger of God, and that Paradise and Hell are true, shall be received by God into Heaven."
you can do that now as you are reading these lines is to pronounce the two confirmations and attestations of faith, here it is
I BEAR WITNESS THAT THERE IS NO GOD WORTHY OF WORSHIP EXCEPT ALLAH ( ARABIC WORD MEANS ONE GOD-THE CREATOR). AND I BEAR WITNESS THAT MUHAMMAD IS HIS SERVANT AND MESSENGER. I BEAR WITNESS THAT JESUS IS HIS SERVANT AND MESSENGER.
The right picture of lslam is conveyed in the Qur'an, which is exemplified by Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him. The reality is that it is not fair to judge a religion by the actions of its followers alone because there are good and bad followers in every religion. The correct thing to do is to judge a religion by its documented revelation from God and the prophet who brought that revelation.
I encourage Christians and other religions to learn about Islam from Muslim sources and The Basis Of The Muslim Belief and not rely on second hand information which in many cases is distorted or contains a deep seated anti Muslim agenda. This is indeed a more scholarly approach

Jesus was not a prophet, but the Son of God. Mohammad is a prophet of the great satan Islam. They do not pray to the same God. Jesus prayed to His heavenly Father, but Mohammad prayed to allah, the god of the infidels.
