Is it possible to be Christian AND Muslim?

Question

I know it sounds daft, but couldn't you believe that Jesus and Allah are both prophets, and be at peace with both?
Or is it one or the other?

But what if I choose the wrong one?

Say I choose religion X, then die, go to heaven and find God of religion Y at the gates and he says "get lost, you chose religion X"

Answer 1

Is it possible to be Christian AND Muslim? No.
But if you were to follow the original, unaltered Bible - the way it was revealed to Jesus - by the One, True God - then you would automatically then choose Islam as your religion.

Allah is NOT a Prophet. Allah is God. There is no God, but Allah.
Muhammed (pbuh) is the Final Messenger of God.

The answer is most definitely Islam. When you die, do you want God to ask you why you did not follow Islam when it clearly is the perfect religion and teaches what Abraham (pbuh) taught. i.e. Monotheism!

Answer 2

I think the question is: do you believe the Bible or Muslim Quran?

They do extremely conflict. You cannot be a Christian and a Muslim. While the rest of the world views on this site may disagree, if you believe the Bible, the God said:

James4:4 You adulterous people, don't you know that friendship with the world is hatred toward God? Anyone who chooses to be a friend of the world becomes an enemy of God.

Jesus came as a child, lived as a man, and was crucified. The world could not accept that God came here as a man to die for our sin. You can read all about His life in the Gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke, John)

Now I think you want some scientific evidence. I'm not much into evidence, but here's a good reference:

My fun thoughts are: The world (not US) history is divided by BC/AD (Before Christ/After Death). There were 33 years during Christ. How could the world divide history by anything other than God? Note that when Jesus was walking the Earth, he never told the other faiths that they were wrong. He simply reminded them no one else is coming for them.

I explored Hinduism, Budism, Newage, and Mormonism. When I came to Christianity, I not only found some real answers, I felt them. The Holy Spirit promised in: John 14:15-21 is a living, present God. No statues allowed. Deuteronomy 4:15-19

Answer 3

Well, Muslims believe that Jesus was a great teacher, but they do not believe that He was the Son of God, while Christians do. So how could you believe two religions that teach conflicting doctrines?

Actually, I asked a question about what it means to be Christian here on Yahoo! Answers the other day, and I learned from the answerers something that made a lot of sense: it depends on who you follow. If you make effort to live the teachings of Jesus Christ, then you're a Christian, and if you make effort to live the teachings of Mohammed, you're a Muslim. I like this definition because it helps us avoid confusion about people who claim to be of a certain religion but don't follow its teachings. Now, Christianity and Islam do share some teachings, but inasmuch as their doctrines are different, it really wouldn't be possible to LIVE both of these religions at the same time in all ways. And therefore it would be impossible to be both Christian and Muslim.

As far as how to choose a religion, you already have the capability. God has given everyone the ability to tell the difference between good and evil. If you listen carefully to the light within you, you will be able to feel which principles are good and which aren't. Hold to the true principles you know and you'll get more.

Answer 4

NO. The basis of Christianity, what separates it from the Muslim religion is the belief in Christ. Christianity teaches that the only way to heaven is through repentance and believeing that Jesus Christ was the Son of God. He was crucified and risen for the sins of man. There will be a second coming. If you dont believe this, you are not a true Christian but some break off of the religion or another religion completely. Muslims believe that Jesus was a great man, but not the son of God. Because of this, you cannot be both. I accept that you can understand both and even coexist peacefully, but you can't be both.

Answer 5

Gosh, no. you choose one or the other. either way, Allah is what the Muslims call God, who, actually, is the same God of the Christians. Jesus is also God as part of the Holy Trinity, who, for Muslims, is considered a prophet (not God), same as Prophet Mohammed. but Christians and Muslims have such different beliefs (apart from God) that you just cannot be both. just be at peace in what you believe in, which, unfortunately, cannot happen if you are so confused. but you can be at peace thinking that there is God for every believer

Answer 6

no.

Muslims believe that Allah is God and Jesus (also known as Isa) was just another prophet.

Christians believe that there is One God but expressed in three persons (like water can be expressed as ice - solid state, water in liquid state, and water vapour - gaseous state but it's still H20 or water in the same compound).

Christians do NOT believe that God "conceived" with Mary to give birth to Jesus. Although Jesus is called the Son of God, the "Son" in the Christian sense clearly does NOT mean a son like how human beings give birth to son.

Christians believe that the Son of God, Jesus, is actually GOD HIMSELF incarnate in a different form. ONE GOD only but expressed in three persons: the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Just like how the same water can be expressed in solid, liquid and gaseous form.

Answer 7

Not exactly , but Muslims believe Jesus was a teacher and prophet, just not the Messaih. The Islamic prophet is Muhammed, not Allah. Allah is God, the same God that jews and Christians believe in.

Generally all Christians beliefs, as well as Muslims are based on the original one God religion of Judaism.

I am a Christian, but I believe God has created a path for all to have a chance for paradise. Since all three faiths are built on Judaism, I believe it is possible and likely that believers of any of these or all three will find a place in heaven.

I don't think religions need be mutually or otherwise exclusive.

There is any interesting little book that parllels the teachings of Jesus anf The Bhuddah. it is amazing and uncanny.

Many scholars speculate, and there is ample evidence to supoort this, that Jesus Travelled to China and studied Bhuddhism during the unaccounted for years of his life. I think that is quite likely.

A Carpenter, as was Jesus' earthly father was a quite honorable profession in the bible and one that would haave made the family at least equivlent to middle class today and probably somewhat wealthier than that. Not rich, but very comfortable. So they clearly would have been able to afford such a trip for him and aspiring Rabbi's made such journies.

I think Heaven is wide and broad and welcoming and doesn't only include Certain Christians, but Bhuddhists and Hindus and and Mormon Christians and on and on...

i think if you live your life well and follow your God (of your choosing) and adhere to basic standards of human decency and kindness and charity, you will be doing all you can to secure a heavenly home.

Contrary to what many believe about their own Christianity or others believe about all Christians. All Christian are not exclusive blievers that it is the only way and this is far less so among mainstream Christians or clergy like myself than it is among more fundamentalist believers. Many Christians don't even accept the trinity theory, many are Unitarian Christians like the
Adherents to oneness Christianity. Many holiness and pentecostal beleivers, those not all. Momon Christians, Unitarian Christians and even many of us who are clergy or members of Trinitarian churches, but are more Unitarian believers as a personal doctrine. my church (Episcopal) is inclusive, with a female Bishop of the church entire and at least one openly homosexual diocesan Bishop. I love my church for welcoming and love all, but we don't have a corner on everything that is the all in all of Christianity. We are just a way to God, among many.

Live a good decent life and Relax!

Answer 8

From what I understand about Islam is that they believe that Jesus was a prophet, but nothing more. Jesus is so much more then a prophet. He is a Savior! In Islam, you can only get to heaven though works and you can get your right taken away. But in Christianity if you believe that God loved you so much he sent his one and only son to die for you(John 3:16) and believe in him you are saved, because there is nothing in this world we can do to repay God for sending his son to die for us. So take his free gift and that is something that is never taken away from you and no matter how much you have messed up your life Jesus still loves you. So in short, you cannot be both, but you can still respect that religion. If you have anymore questions email me

Answer 9

welcome to Islam
to be Muslim you must believe that the god is only one
Allah is an Arabic word means the god (not a prophet)
Mohamed (pbuh) is just a human was chosen by Allah to be our prophet
to be a Muslim you must believe in Jesus(pbuh) as a human prophet
miss Mary (Mariam) in Islam is the greatest women in the Paradise
read more about Islam and visit some mosques then i`m sure you will find your wright way

Answer 10

Allah is the Arabic word for God and Jesus is a prophet in Islam. If you believe that Jesus and Mohammad were both prophets, then you are a Muslim. If you believe Jesus was God's son and Mohammad was no one of religious significance, then you are a Christian.
