To Christians: Do you know that you sound a lot like a Muslim?

Question

The two faiths are very similar.

you both believe that your religion is the 'true' one.
you both believe in a one all powerful deity.
Both religions use a 'holy' book to preach.

It may not seem that way to you but as an outsider of both religions...I can tell you that Christianity and Islam are like 2 apples that fell from the same tree. The two are very alike.

So what's up with all the bashing?

Answer 1

You don't know enough about either religion apparently. Compare the prophets and see if there are any similarities at all. Jesus is perfect, gave of Himself, helped others and still lives. Muhammad was a pedophile, attacked innocent people, stole from innocent people, ordered the killings of thousands, ordered be-headings of hundreds in just one war, had slaves, had sex with his slaves (that would be rape in case you didn't know). Christians follow Christ. Muslims think Muhammad is a good role model. allah is not God; your mistake is believing Muslims when they say he is.

God Bless.

Answer 2

You've got to read inbetween the lines for Christianity. I'm a Christian. Yeah their are similarities, I won't disagree with you, but their are difference you need to pay attention too. One thing I can mention off the top of my head is the fact that Muslims don't believe in the Trinity. Thats, God the Father, God the Son, and the Holy Spirit formed into one magnificent being. So before you start bashing whats already been bashed. Look into it a little bit deeper. I do believe that Christianity is the only religion that counts. Good luck with your search. Email me for questions.

Answer 3

You've picked three things that are the same, and aren't aware of any differences?
You have a human brain, you have opposable thumbs, you have a language.
What is the difference between you and Ted Bundy?

Kind of a silly argument. Even if I could find closer similarities, it would still be silly.

I'm not even religious, so I'm seeing it from outside as well.

Answer 4

You are right we do sound alike, but there is a big difference. Yes we both believe in "one God" , but the difference is that ( liek other ones) we believe in Jesus as the "SOn of God" The difference between all religions comes down to " What do you do with Jesus". Check it out to see if I'm on the right track.

Answer 5

Christians have been living in Muslim countries for centuries.

Muslims have never been able to live in a Christian country for very long....... before an Inquisition starts.

The Quran even tells Muslims to preach the similarities that we have.

Muslims ruled Jerusalem for 1300 years and it was the ONLY time all three faiths lived side by side in peace.

The whole difference is what each side thinks of Jesus.

This is why Prophet Mohammed said that when Jesus returns and refutes the Trinity and acknowledges Islam then there will be only one religion left.

Muslims have no need to spread Islam by force or send missionaries all over the world.

When Jesus returns and declares that he judges by the Law of Islam then that will end all other Abrahamic religions.

Answer 6

I've been saying this for a while.

Abraham and sara were visited and told they are going to have lots of kids.
Sara figures she's too old, so she sent the housekeeper in to bed with Abraham.

Then the angel re-appeared and told them they did wrong, it is SARA and ABRAHAM that have kids, so sara kicked her pregnant housekeeper out of the house.
The angel then appeared to the housekeeper and promised God's guidance, and said the baby growing insode her will do amazing things.


We follow Abraham and Sara,
Muslims follow the housekeeper who's baby, was muhamad.


WSO Muhamad was aso one of abraham's many sons.

Not that far off huh.

Answer 7

They can't see it because they've been brought up with blinkers on. They've been told that their religion is the only real one and all others are, at the least, misunderstandings or, at the most, Satanic deceptions. See Krista's response above: "I do believe that Christianity is the only religion that counts."

Same reason they can condemn witchcraft but don't see that their rituals and prayers are nothing more than incantations.

Answer 8

You have selected a premise that is totally contradictory
Christians=Jesus is savior Muslims=Jesus was a prophet
If I say there's no that much difference in Atheist and Christians---one has Faith the other don't--Bashing is in the eye of the beholder---so whats with your bashing?

Answer 9

I don't bash.

They deny the Deity of Christ Jesus and that He was not crucified, dead, and buried and arose on the 3rd day and ascended into Heaven and is now sitting on the right hand of God the Father among other things.

Answer 10

You are right,I am Muslim and my religion teaches me to see Jews and Christians has my brothers and sisters.
However the 'hating' path is easier than the 'loving' path for many.
