help please?

Question

could you give me many differences and similarities between Christianity and Islam?

Answer 1

Big difference--Christianity is the truth, Islam is not.
Similar only in what it copied from Christianity.

Answer 2

Christianity believes that Jesus was born of the virgin Mary as the Son of God.

Islam believes in the virgin birth, but not that Jesus was the Son of God.

Christianity believes Jesus is God incarnate.

Islam believes Jesus is only a prophet.

Christianity believes that Jesus died on the cross and was resurrected in victory over sin and death and that through His sacrifice people are saved. Christianity says that Jesus is the only way to God, and that His sacrifice is a free gift, that there is nothing anyone can do, that will add to their own salvation.

Islam believes Jesus died. They do not believe He was God and that His sacrifice atoned for the sins of the world. They believe you must worship 'Allah', pray five times a day, go on hadj to Mecca, fast during Ramadan, and live a good life to gain entrance into heave. They believe that there is a scale that will weigh your good deeds against your bad deeds - the heavier side determines where you will spend eternity.

Christians believe Muhammad was a false prophet, corrupting the teachings of Jesus.

Islam believes the teachings of Jesus were corrupted and set right by Muhammad.

OOPs - sorry relive I meant did not die.

Answer 3

I dont know enough about Islam to say much but I can say this...

2 different Holy books, Christian is the Bible Islam is Kuran

2 different views of Jesus, Christians say he is God/messiah
and Islam says he is a prophet.

Chrisitans don't recognize muhhamed and Islam is centered around him

The God is the same, alot of similar beleifs, especially older prophets, Abraham, etc.

I dont want to say more cuz I dont know enough about islam.

Thanks

both believe in God, heaven, hell, day of judgment, the Creation story, they share all the Prophet except Christians don't acknowledge Prophet Muhammad (pbuh), both believe that Jesus christ is the Messiah and that he'll return to unite the believers and fight the Anti Christ.

Answer 5

This is for Padwinlea, firstly there are errors in your answer about Islam. We Muslims believe in Hazrat Esa A.S.who you refer to as Jesus he did not die he will return.

Answer 6

a good read and a lot of information...

Answer 7

in Islam God is one person and only.
in christianity God is 3 persons.

in islam the prophet is not worshiped.
in chr. the prophet is worshiped.

in islam the Quran in its original language is preserved.
in chr. no original form found.

in islam we believe in jesus as prophet of God.
in chr. they don't believe in Muhammad as a prophet of God.

in islam the teaching is close to the christians, because we have the same God. doesn't mean that they copied it, because if so, the christians copied it from jews.

in islam God is the only savior.
in christianity Jesus is the savior.

in Islam God is pefect is not in need of a son to save the world.
In christianity God can't save the world only if his son dies.

in chr. God can't forgive, God has to die for your sins.

in Islam God is powerful < there is no: God can't or couldn't>
in chr. God is imperfect, many things he can't do.

in Islam, the word islam is found in the Quran as our religion.
in chr. no word telling that christianity is a religion .

in Islam, Muhammad talked about islam.
in chr. Jesus peace be upon him, didn't talk about christianity.

in Islam, Adam was created without mother and father.
Eve with no mother.
Us with both mother and father.
and to complete the picture, Jesus with no father.
in chr. jesus was born without father, so he is God.!!

in Islam , God says that Jesus was created as Adam was created, he just say <> and it is. he was a word.
in chr. the word is God so jesus is God.

in Islam, the holy spirit is the angel gabriel.
in chr. the H.S. is God.

in islam, all the prophets were send to teach mankind how to worship the only true God and follow the commands.
in chr. no more commandements because Paul dreamed about it. and no more God alone, but 3 Gods in 1.

in islam jesus is the Messiah, he will come back at the end of time to correct everybodies belief.
in christianity, he will come, and the wrondoers will suffer and save the christians because the believe in the story of the cross and others not.

in islam, God saved jesus, and he put another person that he made him look like jesus on the cross. jesus is alive now, waiting for the commands of God to comeback to earth for his mission and die like anybody.
in chr.jesus is God, or son of God!! died on the cross for the wrongdoers and the good one will pay the price.

in islam nobody can bear your sins only yourself.
in chr. God tooke care of it because he died already. and is now alive !!!.

in islam you have to admit that only God has to be worshiped.
in chr you have to admit that you are a sinner, to believe in the story of the cross, than accept jesus, than.....

in islam satan was created with purpose, he is the father of the devils, like Adam is our father,
in chr. he was an angel, then changed to fire !!!

in islam man and devils have a will. angel not they can't say no.
in chr. angels can become devils like satan and desobey God.

in islam we believe all the prophets were muslims.
in chr. there is prophets calling to judaism, others to christianity, others.... so how about Abraham, Adam, Noah.....?

in Islam God is calling for unity. one message, one way.
in chr. they differ about the concept of trinity, unitarian.....many ways lead to God!!!

in Islam we believe in all the books of God in their original forms.
in chr. they don't believe in the Quran.

in islam no mysteries in the belief, no misconceptions.

in chr. just have faith, and believe. don't try to understand.

in chr. everybody is already in heaven.

in islam muslim strive hard to please God .
in chr you can't tell the difference.

in islam we believe in 2 angels in each side of everybody, one on the right side writting good deeds, one on the left side writting bad deeds.
in chr. no work is counted.

in islam your good deeds please God, so by his mercy you are acceppted in heaven not by your work
in chr. only his mercy , but don't worry if you spread evil, just have faith.

in islam heavens if 7 levels, the top for the good one < prophets, pious people, believer, the 2nd the less one in faith and deeds, and so on.
in chr. killer, criminals of war, the one who gamble, commit adultery, will be in the same level with the one who strived hard to please God and wasted all their life in doing good

in islam the 7th heaven is the best,

is islam hell is of 7 levels, the lowest one where satan, pharoe, and other celebre personnalities will abide forever.
in chr. hell is for everybody who didn't understood "just have faith.

in islam this level of hell is the worst.

in islam, some believer who went to hell will be punished for a while a be saved later on.
in chr. no mercy like this.

in islam God is most meciful.many with no work at all will be granted paradise because of their trus belef in the creator.

in Islam the word Allah means the only true God in arabic. can't be gender or plurial.
in chr. God, and god, and gods, and godess and .......

the word Allah is found in the arabic Bible. is it not the same God that some chr. claim that we worship another God?
if they say so, are they not polytheists?

I ask you to save yourself from the hell fire. make a research about islam, and study it without a biased mind. be open minded, with open heart. you will harm nobody only yourself. don't wast this occasion. the truth is here, God's message is simple << there is no deity that has the right to be worshiped but God>>

note: I don't mean to mock or having fun, please forgive me if you find somewhere that I was little bit rude or harsh, I try just to open your hearth. nobody is saved until he knows the truth about God and follow his commands.
may be I know the truth, but may be I will not be saved. who knows. don't judge nobody until you see him dead. if he dies as a believer so it is good for him. but he commit suicide or a injustice n earth he will be punished for it whatever is his believe. the right thing to do is to save ourselves from ETERNAL hell fire.
