Why Christian and not Muslim? Why Jesus and not Bhudda? What makes Christianity any less made up than the others? I am genuinely curious. Is it because of the bible, written by men? stories are written by men everyday. Why do you believe the bible and not hollywood scripts? Last time I checked God didn't sign his name on either of them.

If a person really wanted to know the truth between Islam and Christian, he or she just needs to do some research by comparing Codes of Belief Between Islam & Christianity. That is the reason why many of Christian now turn to Islam. It really puzzles me when some of the Muslim decided to leave Islam...do they never find the truth?
I am calling all readers especially the Christians to look into below mentioned code for you to think in searching the truth and for the Muslims, these findings could strengthen your iman, insyaAllah.
Islamic Code of Belief
• Allah (God Almighty) is the only Creator of all that exits.
• There is one God (Allah). Jesus is the Christ, miracle birth- and Muhammad (p) is his last prophet, both of them said, "God is One and you have to serve Him with all your heart, mind and strength.
• Allah reveals His 99 Divine Attributes and does not compare Himself to any of His creation.
• Allah created man from dirt and "in His image" and of "His spirit," yet God has no likeness of anything in creation.
• Adam & Eve sinned, then repented and were forgiven, with no continuing effects on their children.
• God Forgives Adam and Eve after they repent. Then He makes Adam his deputy (caliph) and the first prophet.
• Man is basically good but prone to mistakes. Muslims who repent and submit to God are forgiven without intercession from Christ (or anyone) needed.
• Through submission to the Will of God in peace, anyone, anytime, any place becomes a servant of Allah and draw closer to Him.
• Allah is not like His creation. He is neither male nor female, nor is creation like Him.
Christianity Code of Belief
• God Almighty is the only Creator of all that exits. (Gen. 1:1)
• There is one God. He exists eternally in three persons, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. (There is no "Trinity" in the Bible)
• God has revealed Himself as "One God" and "One Lord" (Deuteronomy 6:3; Mark 12:29)
• God created man from dirt and the image of God (Genesis 1)
• Adam and Eve sinned and thus brought sin into the world and their sins passed on to their children. (Genesis 3:1-7)
• Original Sin - all of Adam's posterity are born with a sin nature and are sinful from birth (Romans 3:22-23, 1st John 1:10)
• Man is by nature sinful and has need for redemption by the atonement of Jesus Christ (Romans 5:6, 8:32, Colossians 1:19-20, Hebrews 7:26-27, 9:26, 10:12, 1st John 4:10)
• Through the work of Christ, God adopts Christians into His family and calls them His children (Romans 8:14-15, Ephesians 1:5, Galatians 4:5)
• Bible says; "God is not a man... not the son of man.." (Numbers 19:23) Other places contradicts this(?)

it ISN'T any more correct than other religions!! that's why there are so many religions in the world. no one religion is right for everybody!! each person must find their own path. but, as long as we're all working towards the same goal, who can say what is right & what is wrong?? the problem with the bible is that, since it was written by men, it can be & IS erroneous. there are a great many contradictions in the bible. 1 writer says 1 thing. then another writer will say something different about the same event or list different people than someone else. I have a file on my puter that has a listing of the contradictions in the bible. I was amazed when I read it because I was raised catholic before I found my true path in Wicca.

The Dead Sea scrolls. They prove beyond reasonable doubt that the Old Testament is authentic. If the much older Old Testament is valid, on what basis does anyone doubt the more recent New Testament?
Then, of course, there are the fulfilled prophecies. Sir Isaac Newton was MORE interested in this than calculus or gravity or the laws of motion or splitting light into the various components vibgyor), etc. He wrote more on this and spent more time on this than all the others combined.
I know that many people think the Bible is unscientific when it touches on scientific topics, especially on the concept of 'flat earth' and the geocentricity of the universe. But the Bible NEVER taught this; that was what the Church taught based on outside influence. But what intrigues me is that matter of health in the Old Testament. As one example, consider circumcision. More than 3 500 years ago, Moses told the Israelites to circumcise the boys on the eight day after birth. Well, modern science has recently found out that, based on linear programming, this is the optimal time : the disease-fighting ability of the baby decreases after birth but its blood-clotting ability increases after birth. The two graphs intersect on the eight day. This is just one example. What about quarantine? Dietary laws? Some may look stupid but the one about not eating animal fat and blood is more true today than ever!!!
I could go on and on in this vein. But let me stop here. I don't want to sound as if I am arguing with you. After all, you did say that you are genuinely seeking answers. God bless.

I am sick of atheist propaganda on this site really but I shall answer this.Christianity is (in the lack of better word) a 'democratic' religion.Christ was spreading love and tolerance and many other beautiful things,while Buddha (not Bhudda) was spreading a teaching about Nirvana which means PERSONAL harmony.It is selfish,unlike Christianity,and another example is that Buddha was obese...I will not mention why is Christianity better than Islam,I will let you decide that but I will just ask you who blows buildings and cars and people in fanatic suicides?Or who forces women to wear veils?Or who is not allowed to take picture of himself and so on and so on...
May God forgive you your arrogance...

in my opinion...i've got faith Christianity replaced into created so the few would desire to administration the numerous. in the present day it particularly is comprehensive through the government utilizing rules and the police/protection tension to enforce them. 2000 years in the past they did not have the guy ability to regulate the loads so as that they used what terrorists use in the present day... worry. back then Criminals would desire to wreck out with theft, rape, homicide...you call it... particular some have been given caught...yet maximum have been given away with it. So ten commandments (rules) have been created... and your punishment replaced into dealt contained in the direction of the wrath of God. It replaced right into a manner for the guy to self police their very own morality via worry of damnation. If that wasn't sufficient...in addition they made it a sin to even query the Bible which extra extra worry to an exceedingly ignorant and gullible era.

God promised to redeem the human race by sending His Messiah into the world after Adam and Eve disobeyed God and sinned, this one act had enormous repercusions for all of humanity and while we may not fully appreciate or comprehend this it had to have been critically serious indeed.
Christ is the Savior and the only Son of God and so no other faith is salvific as Christianity is because of Christ.
Mohammed did not give up his life for the salvation of humankind, nor Buddah or any other, only the Christ.

What makes you think that Christianity any more correct? No one here says that Christianity is more correct than other religions. Christianity is never more correct than others. Everyone here will say that "their" religion and beliefs is more correct than others. They are right. Their religion is the more correct one because they believe it is the correct one. It is their belief that makes their religion correct.

What other god of any other religious faith has said or done the things that God has said and done? Funny, I never hear anyone ever say that zeus or some other obviously man-made god offered themselves up for the salvation of all mankind.
