What is the difference between Muslim and Christianity?

Question

I'm a Christian so i know wat they believe but what exactly do Muslims believe?

Answer 1

Muslims believe you can get to Heaven through yourself, by doing good works, as long as they outweigh the bad ones you're there. Christianity though, teaches that it's not like a scale, you need to be 100% good to enter God's Kingdom. But since everyone falls short, God sent His Son to die for us, so if we believe in Him our sins are wiped away, hallelujah!!!

Answer 2

While Muslims view Allah as possessing the attributes of love, mercy, and grace; Allah does not demonstrate these attributes in the same manner as the Christian God. The most important difference, though, between the Muslim and Christian view of God is the concept of incarnation. Christians believe that God became a human being in the Person of Jesus Christ. Muslims believe this concept to be the ultimate blasphemy. Muslims can never accept the idea that Allah would become a man to die for the sins of the world. A belief in the incarnation of God in the Person of Jesus Christ is absolutely essential to the Christian understanding of God. God became a human being so He could empathize with us, and more importantly, so He could provide salvation, the forgiveness of sins.

Answer 3

if you read the Muslim Rose's answer, you will see there is no difference actually between the two in teachings - Jesus taught us the same things.The major difference is in doctrine, in believing in Jesus as son of God and the Holy Trinity or not. Alah or God, there is a question of name, there is only one God, whatever you like to call Him. Jesus said to love everyone as ourselves and came for all the nations. The prophet also said that, and that whoever hurts a non-Muslim is hurting him - does that ring a bell, a passage from the Bible where Jesus says whatever we do to others we do to Him? So I think that apart from believing in Jesus or not, there are not other differences than the ones we want to create for different reasons. Jesus said not to judge....

Answer 4

Islam (Arabic: الإسلام; al-'islām (help·info)) is a monotheistic religion originating with the teachings of Muhammad, a 7th century Arab religious and political figure. It is the second-largest religion in the world today, with an estimated 1.4 billion adherents, spread across the globe, known as Muslims.[1] The word Islam means "submission", referring to the total surrender of one's self to God (Arabic: الله, Allāh), and a Muslim is "one who submits (to God)".[2]

Muslims believe that God revealed the Qur'an to Muhammad and that Muhammad is God's final prophet. The Qur'an and the traditions of Muhammad in the Sunnah are regarded as the fundamental sources of Islam.[3][4] Muslims do not regard Muhammad as the founder of a new religion, but as the restorer of the original monotheistic faith of Adam, Abraham, Jesus, Moses, and other prophets. They hold that part of the messages of these prophets became distorted over time either in interpretation, in text, or both.[5][6][7] Like Judaism, and Christianity, Islam is an Abrahamic religion.[8]

Today, Muslims may be found throughout the world, particularly in the Middle East and North, West and East Africa. Some of the most populous majority-Muslim countries are in South and Southeast Asia. Other large communities can be found in Central Asia, China, and Russia. Only about 20 percent of Muslims originate from Arab countries.[9] Islam is the second largest religion after Christianity in many European countries, such as France, which has the largest Muslim population in Western Europe and the United Kingdom.



Christianity is a monotheistic[1] religion centered on the life and teachings of Jesus of Nazareth as presented in the New Testament.[2] Christians believe Jesus to be the Son of God and the Messiah prophesied in the Old Testament. With an estimated 2.1 billion adherents in 2001, Christianity is the world's largest religion.[3] It is the predominant religion in Europe, the Americas, Sub-Saharan Africa, the Philippine Islands and Oceania.[4] It is also growing rapidly in Asia, particularly in China and South Korea.[5]

Christianity shares its origins and many religious texts with Judaism, specifically the Hebrew Bible, known to Christians as the Old Testament.[6] Like Judaism and Islam, Christianity is classified as an Abrahamic religion (see also, Judeo-Christian).[7][8]

The name "Christian" (Greek Χριστιανός Strong's G5546), meaning "belonging to Christ" or "partisan of Christ",[9] was first applied to the disciples in Antioch, as recorded in Acts 11:26.[10] The earliest recorded use of the term "Christianity" (Greek Χριστιανισμός) is by Ignatius of Antioch.

Answer 5

Christians believe God is rightoeus, man is not. Man fell from Gods Glory through sin and God remains rightoeus and does not overlook sin but demands the penalty be paid and that penalty is death as sin does cause death. God in his perfect mercy came to the world as a man Jesus Christ to overcome temptation as a man and to pay the penalty of death for man bringing man to his righteousness

Muslims believe God overlooks man's bad deeds if man repents and does more good than bad,
God does not become a man and does not atone for sin, Sin is simply overlooked and called okay if a man repents and does good.

The Muslim God according to the Quran is the same God but is not in agreement with the God of Abraham's righteousness
The God before Muhammad and the Quran could not agree with sin calling any sinful man righteous. It was necessary for God to pay the penalty for man or man was dead in his sin a part from God.

Answer 6

I think it is the main raeson is that Christianity belives that Jesus came and was the Messiah. He died and rose again. He was the only one to come and He will come again to judge the living and the dead. And Islam does not believe so. They believe that Jesus was a prophet, I think.

Answer 7

Muslims believe in Allah and they believe that Allah wants them to kill non-believers. Christians believe in Jesus Christ as their Savior and follow His teachings of love to God and mankind.
