Differences between Christianity and Islam :

Islam is a religion. An occultic religion that promotes jihad ( Suicide bombing ), all sorts of rituals, Idolatry (worship of black stone, and quarter moon ), polygamy and polyandry. Mecca is the headquarter of this eastern satanic religion.

They have their own bible (which is the Quran), which is full of contradictions. The quran starts by talking about tolerance and living peacefully with those that persecute you, but latter verses talks of confrontation and hatred.

This is what I mean :

There are 114 verses in the Quran that speak of peace, love and forgiveness, especially in the Surah “The Heifer” (Surah 2: 62, 109, 256) most of these revelations came when prophet Muhammad (sws) was in Mecca and being persecuted by the Quraysh tribe (his own people).


Here is the contradiction :

However subsequent revelations such as Surah 9: 5 taught exactly opposite what Surah 2: 62 taught.


[b]Fundamentalist who carry out suicide bombing and are the ones who call for the spread of Islam by force, and the elimination of the Jewish state (this has nothing to do with the giving back land by Israel) and instilling the moral standards of Islam worldwide normally quote surah 9:5 and Suran 9:29 in defense of what the horrible crime that they commit :

“Fight against those who    :

(1) believe not in Allah,

(2) nor in the Last Day,

(3) nor forbid that which has been forbidden by Allah and His messenger (Muhammad)

(4) and those who acknowledge not the religion of truth (i.e. Islam) among the people of the scripture (Jews and Christians), until they pay the Jizyah (tax) with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued” The Noble Quran. The above Surah interprets that Muslims fight

• Those who don’t believe in Allah
• Those who don’t believe in the last day
• Those who do things that Allah and Muhammad (sws) forbids
• Those who don’t acknowledge Islam as the truth i.e. “the people of Scripture”, who are the Jews and Christians.

Options for those who do not believe in Allah

• Accept Islam
• Remain a Jew or a Christian but pay Jizyah, typically levied once a year (many Christians minority in Egypt or other Islamic majority countries are forced to pay Jizyah today or they are killed).
• Death [/b]


Muhammad is the founder of this religion. He happens to be one of the the descendants of Ishmael.  After the death of mohammed, there was a problem with succession.

Their belief completely contradicts what Christians believe in.

Their god is ALLAH. Hence Christians and muslims are not worshipping the same God.

They believe that the only way you can get to heaven is by the work of your hands ie (practisng the five pillars of Islam)

They believe that the son that Abraham almost sacrifice was Ishmael

Muslims do not believe Jesus rose on the third day. They also do not believe he will come again.

CHRISTIANITY IS NOT A RELIGION, AS PEOPLE THINKS, IT IS A RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD.  There is a big difference between following rules because the Bible says so, rather than following rules because Jesus changed our heart.  The pharisees in the bible are religious but they are sinners.

Jesus to Christians is God the son, but to the muslims it is a prophet


The Church Age - What I mean by the church here is the body of christ not a physical building where people worship

This is a period not foretold by any of the Old Testament prophets. Jesus Christ brokered a different covenant between God and mankind, offering himself as a sacrifice for everyone’s sins (John 3: 16). Jesus was referred to as the seed of Jesse (King David’s father), meaning he was to come from the lineage of the Jews and He was also to be the Messiah the Jews are expecting.

The new covenant of Christ ushered in the Church age with Jesus Christ as the cornerstone, whereby many of us gentiles can be grafted into the lineage of God’s chosen by GRACE, through Jesus Christ being offered as the sacrificial lamb for our sins. We are now in the church age or grace dispensation as many refer to it, and the significant thing about this period is that the age of God dealing with the Jews alone is on hold and the Holy Spirit (rarely seen) under the Old Testament covenant is now available 24/7/365 to lead and direct a believer in Christ.

The church age will end with “the rapture” and the covenant with Israel will resume. Many Jews today do believe that Jesus Christ is the Messiah being expected but many don’t. Christ followers in the church age are referred to as “Christians” (they come in different shades – from the real deal to money maker, from black to white to Arabs etc), many Christians who study the Bible and understands it’s content (prophecies) have sympathy for the state of Israel not because they are perfect people but because of God’s promise to them, knowing that God’s promises are always true (regardless of what we think of the promise).

Christians believe that the son Abraham almost sacrifice was Isaac.

Jesus dies and rose again on the third day. We also believe he will come again to judge the living and the dead

Similarities :

Ishmael and Isaac were brothers

Ishmael the father of Arabs, of which Muhammad ( Founder of Islamic faith) is one of his descendants. While Isaac (and his descendants through Israel or Jacob) is the father of the Jews.

They (Muslims) believe just like Christians that Jesus was born by a virgin mary.

I hope that helps.

The bible was written down by men inspired by God . . . not one of them made the bogus claim that they were sent by God to establish a religion. The plan and purpose of God for mankind was already evident in the book of Genesis chapter 1, well before Abraham or Moses came on the scene.

@Davidylan: Alhamdullillah. The muslims agree that they are slaves of Allah. It is from your mouth that you also acknowledged them to be slaves, even though you put your own twist to it, calling us, stiffed necked. You only find that in your Bible. However, how can you claim to be talking to God, when you are not worth it, in any stretch of its defination? You must never forget that you have somebody between you and God. That person is the one you claim from your religious tenets, does all the talking to God. Chief davidylan, you do not talk to God. Infact you are not fit to talk to him, which is the reason you erect an intermediate between God and you. So quit fronting!

If this is what your intelligence can bring forth, it is a pity! If islam rids itself of violence, there will be nothing left of it but shaft! So you guys need the violence to remain relevant. That's your only weapon! Think egghead!

You know psychologically, men, for fear of the unknown indulge in all these vices to get attention. You really dont know that all the suicide bombings (with their bunanas covered with aluminium foils grin) only show you people as weaklings. Empty vessels make the loudest noises!

A religion that cannot spread by moral-suasion but only by the sword has no future, for none of you value the sanctity of human life.

@Cgift

Islam is violence with the "sheep clothing" of Peace. The real muslims are the ones blowing up themselves to shreads. The Muslim must have a STATE (UMMAH)

They must fight cunningly or violently to have a muslim state.

Their allegiance is to the UMMAH and not the Secular state they find themselves. I want you to know that you have no need to argue this with them. I have stated this on various thread and none has disputed this.

THE SOLE AIM OF ISLAM IS TO MAKE A MUSLIM OF EVERY MAN AND WOMEN ON THE FACE OF THE EARTH WITHIN A STATE RELIGION OF ISLAM.


I wonder how some people would say Islam is peace. The religion is not peace. you cannot because you go to school call yourself a student.

another blunder from you cgift cheesy

Muslims are encouraged to be[b] kind [/b] to animals and are forbidden to hurt them let alone hurt humans. Once Prophet Muhammad said: {A woman was punished because she imprisoned a cat until it died. On account of this, she was doomed to Hell. While she imprisoned it, she did not give the cat food or drink, nor did she free it to eat the insects of the earth

Additionally, while taking the life of an animal for food, Muslims are commanded to do so in a manner that causes the least amount of fright and suffering possible. The Prophet Muhammad said: {When you slaughter an animal, do so in the best way. One should sharpen his knife to reduce the suffering of the animal.}

In Islam, several things are clear:

Suicide is forbidden. "O ye who believe!, [do not] kill yourselves, for truly Allah has been to you Most Merciful. If any do that in rancour and injustice, soon shall We cast him into the Fire, " (Qur'an 4:29-30).

The taking of life is allowed only by way of justice (i.e. the death penalty for murder), but even then, forgiveness is better. "Nor take life - which Allah has made sacred - except for just cause, " (17:33).

In pre-Islamic Arabia, retaliation and mass murder was commonplace. If someone was killed, the victim's tribe would retaliate against the murderer's entire tribe.

This practice was directly forbidden in the Qur'an (2:178-179). Following this statement of law, the Qur'an says, "After this, whoever exceeds the limits shall be in grave chastisement" (2:178).

The Qur'an admonishes those who oppress others and transgress beyond the bounds of what is right and just. "The blame is only against those who oppress men with wrongdoing and insolently transgress beyond bounds through the land, defying right and justice.
For such there will be a chastisement grievous (in the Hereafter)" (42:42).
Harming innocent bystanders, even in times of war, was forbidden by the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). This includes women, children, noncombatant bystanders, and even trees and crops.

In light of these and other Islamic texts, the act of inciting terror in the hearts of defenseless civilians, the wholesale destruction of buildings and properties, the bombing and maiming of innocent men, women, and children are all forbidden and detestable acts according to Islam and the Muslims. Muslims follow a religion of peace, mercy, and forgiveness, and the vast majority have nothing to do with the violent events some have associated with Muslims.
If an individual Muslim were to commit an act of terrorism, this person would be guilty of violating the laws of Islam.

This as evidently shown your knowledge of Islam.

Funny you, Islam does not compel anyone to convert. You can see this for yourself in the words of God in the Holy Quran,

Let there be no compulsion in religion. Truth has been made clear from error. Whoever rejects false worship and believes in Allah has grasped the most trustworthy handhold that never breaks. And Allah hears and knows all things. [Surah al-Baqarah: 256]


Allah also says in Quran: If it had been your Lord's will, all of the people on Earth would have believed. Would you then compel the people so to have them believe? [Surah Yunus: 99]


So if they dispute with you, say I have submitted my whole self to Allah, and so have those who follow me. And say to the People of the Scripture and to the unlearned: Do you also submit yourselves? If they do, then they are on right guidance. But if they turn away, your duty is only to convey the Message. And in Allah's sight are all of His servants. [Surah Al `Imran: 20]

Re: Similarities And Differences Between Christianity And Islam by Omerebere(f): 4:59pm On Nov 28, 2007
Christianity is no match for Islam. The bible says in Acts 4:12 that salvation is found in no one else but in Jesus Christ. What then is salvation? It is the when one who is living a sinful and rebelious life realises his wrongs and comes to Jesus, having been convicted of his sins. He is forgiven and a new life given to him to live like a child of God and sin no more. Only Jesus can do that. He alone has the power of sin. Sin is a bondage. it is darkness and anyone who is enslaved by sin is bound for hell. Therefore it is not a question of which religion is superior. It is a matter of eternity. Where we spend the rest of our lives - hell or heaven - matters to Jesus. That is what Christianity entails - living a life that pleases God. Please give your life to Christ cos he alone can rule it well for you.

That's your opinion. We muslims belive in Jesus as a messenger of God to the lost sheep of isreal.

Jesus being called God is what we do not accept.
One question i usually ask; Is that what is the plight of those who came before Jesus ?

One true thing is that, Whether you are muslim or a christain and forments trouble or do bad, you shall be judged by what you do.

When people say things that point out Biblical facts, it becomes "that's your opinion". FYI, Jesus Christ is the Saviour of the entire world; and that is a FACT, regardless of your opinion! QED.

mdsocks:

Jesus being called God is what we do not accept.

You're not the first to not accept it - Muhammad denied the Biblical fact, and you're only following in his footsteps. Yet, deny as much as you please, John 1:1 is still there just for you to confirm your suspicion.

mdsocks:

One question i usually ask; Is that what is the plight of those who came before Jesus ?

We have dealt with your worry several times; and we have also asked Muslims the same questions of what happens to those before Muhammad? Any answers yet?

On the other hand, one question I also usually ask is this: God revealed Himself to the Biblical prophets - did He reveal Himself to Muhammad?

mdsocks:

One true thing is that, Whether you are muslim or a christain and forments trouble or do bad, you shall be judged by what you do.

And who do you suppose will be that Judge? Surprise - surprise!! Jesus Christ will be the One who judges everyone (including Muhammad) on that Day! If you're wise, you'll seek His mercy now before it's too late!

Not only so, but we find as well that Muslims have continued the tradition by employing "forced conversion" on others.

What about the threat to the lives of those Muslims who exercise their freewill to convert to other religions? Did you say that Islam does not compel anyone to convert? cheesy

Africans where specifically following THE AMEN also known as ANU for at least 22,000 years, way longer than Africans have ever followed Christianity or Islam. At the time when Africans where following this rationale Tama-re (Africa) were the global leaders in economics, science and maths etc  the foundation civilisation of the world. In fact what you are reading about are the origins of Christianity and many parts of Islam. AFRICANS/NUBIANS [especially in Africa] MUST REALISE THIS AND NOT GET CAUGHT UP IN THE ISLAM (ASIAN) VS CHRISTIAN (CAUCASIAN) WAR OF BELIEF. THIS WAR IS BEING PUPPETED BY BU-SIN-NESS AND POLITICS SETTING UP THE NEW WORLD ORDER AS A CURE. Christianity especially is the altered version of African history and Hinduism where we now follow a white Jesus (JE-hovah–ZEUS) rather than the original HARU / HERU / HORUS where the story of the messiah CLEARLY originated from.

I am proud to be a Muslim not because I was born as one but because it is a complete way of life.

Mohammed/Islam doesn’t preach terrorism and violence and I am sure terrorism/violence is not only witnessed in Arab world but also in predominantly Christian country.
In as much as it doesn’t preach it, it however commands that should you be faced with oppression and persecussion from enemies; you should the fight back. There is nothing strange in this because as a country, if another country should oppress your country, you wouldn’t fold your arms and wait till your people are wiped out.
Islam as a religion is more encompassing than Christianity in the sense that it approves of other prophets and even states that before you can be considered a good Muslim, you must believe in all the prophets including Jesus. The only difference is that the beliefs we have in Jesus is not different from others before him like Abraham, Jonah, Luth, Jacob, Solomon, David, Moses, Aaron etc and the only one after him Mohammed which is different from the way Christians perceive him . We believe he was born without Father & by a virgin lady; the point of contrast is that Jesus is God or part of a trinity god. To Islam, that is a blasphemy and it will remain so.
Muslims believe in Jesus, his miracles, birth and would even give their Children his name (Isah). Whenever we mention or hear anybody mention his name, we same the same prayer for him just like other prophets. Can Christians/Christianity boast of same towards Islam/Mohammed? In what way can somebody like someone more?
Have you ever wondered why a Christian rates Prophet Mohammed as no 1 in his book “The 100, a Ranking of the Most Influential Persons in History”

I just saw this thread and see how gentiles[christians] are displaying their stu.pidity quoting Quran out of contex, read and understand each verse and put them with the hadith cuz some are related at a particular time. It seems this gentiles of christian quote where Allah authorise to fight for protection and deffence in the time of arab pagans and jews presecuting few muslims at that time. This are verses where ALLAH[swt] forbids killing
HOLY QURAN 5:32:whoever kills a soul unless for a soul or for corruption [done] in the land - it is as if he had slain mankind entirely. And whoever saves one - it is as if he had saved mankind entirely.
HOLY QURAN 2:190:Fight in the way of Allah against those who fight against you,but begin not hostilities. Lo! Allah loveth not aggressors.
HOLY QURAN 7:55: (O mankind!) Call upon your Lord humbly and in secret. Lo! He loveth not aggressors.HOLY QURAN 8:61:"But if the enemy incline towards peace, do thou (also) incline towards peace, and trust in Allah: for He is the One that Heareth and Knoweth (all things)."
HOLY QURAN 5:2" , and let not the hatred of some people in (once) shutting you out of the Sacred Mosque lead you to transgression (and hostility on your part). Help ye one another in righteousness and piety, but help ye not one another in sin and rancour: fear Allah: for Allah is strict in punishment."
"HOLY QURAN 41:34:"Nor can Goodness and Evil be equal. Repel (Evil) with what is better: then will he between whom and thee was hatred become as it were thy friend and intimate!"
"HOLY QURAN 4:135:"O ye who believe! stand out firmly for justice, as witnesses to Allah, even as against yourselves, or your parents, or your kin, and whether it be (against) rich or poor: for Allah can best protect both. Follow not the lusts (of your hearts), lest ye swerve, and if ye distort (justice) or decline to do justice, verily Allah is well-acquainted with all that ye do."
"O ye who believe! stand out firmly for justice, as witnesses to Allah, even as against yourselves, or your parents, or your kin, and whether it be (against) rich or poor: for Allah can best protect both. Follow not the lusts (of your hearts), lest ye swerve, and if ye distort (justice) or decline to do justice, verily Allah is well-acquainted with all that ye do.
"HOLY QURAN 16:90"God advocates justice, charity, and regarding the relatives. And He forbids evil, vice, and transgression. He enlightens you, that you may take heed."
"HOLY QURAN 16:126:"And if ye do punish them, punish them no worse than they punished you: but if ye show patience, that is indeed the best(course) for those who are patient."
"HOLY QURAN 21:107:"And we have not sent you but as a mercy for the world".
* this are verses that have given you which Allah[swt] forbid killing, hates asgressor. I know some of you[gentiles a.k.a christians] will still post useless things.

Now to the bible, i was reading along and someone said 'the bible warned us of false prophet coming' relating it to Mohammed[saw], was gospel giving to Mohammed[saw]?. Mohammed preaches message of the Quran not Gospel, self aclaim apostle paul is the one bible is talking of, paul kill Jesus[as] followers and claim he's called by God to preach the gospel and found christianity. Christians think dat the apostles and paul were preaching same donctrine and evryone believ in d devine Jesus[as] who came to be crucified for d sins of d world. However, if one examines d bible carefully dat person would observe that paul and d disciples were not preaching the same doctrin and did not beliv in d same Jesus.
The apostles in jerusalem heard dat paul has been preaching a diffrent doctrine in galatia and corinthia. Paul was telling them not to follow d law anymore and dat dey dont have to eat kosher meat anymore to be circumcised, accordin to genesis 17:14,
d convenant is broken if dere is no circumcision, etc. So d apostles went to galatia nd corinthia nd conviced evryone dat paul is wrong, wen paul heard about dis he went straight back to d cities...galatians 1:6 'i am astonished dat u are so quickly deserting the one who called u by d grace of christ nd are turning to a diffrent gospel'
..
it says diffrent gospel, so obviously d disciple were teaching a differen doctrine and was not just minor issues...
galatian 2:11-21 paul opposes peter so peter, james nd barnabas are wrong?)
14. when i saw that they were not acting in line with the truth of the gospel, i said to peter in front of them all 'you are a jew yet you live like a gentile and not like a jew how is it then that you force gentile to follow jewish costome?


Paul condemns all jewish xtians including peter nd barnabas. We only av paul's side of d story but peter's recollection of dis story is not given to us in d new testament. Peter truly would have known Jesus better than paul.
See what your bible also said about Jesus saying
Luke 19:27"But those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them before me.
"Luke 12:49"I have come to bring fire on the earth, and how I wish it were already kindled!
Mathew 10:34 " Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword.
"2 Peter 2:12"These false teachers are like unthinking animals, creatures of instinct, born to be caught and destroyed. They scoff at things they do not understand, and like animals, they will be destroyed.
John 2:15[Jesus] made a whip out of cords, and drove all from the temple area, both sheep and cattle; he scattered the coins ofthe money changers and overturned their tables.!
Matthew 10:34" Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword." indeed prince of PEACE? See your bible
and someone should not tell me they're parables that i need holyghost to understand those verses. Christ Jesus[as] is a prophet of GOD and he's not equal to GOD almighty but a human(son of man as he always call himself), we muslim believe and respect Jesus as one of God's messanger.
Shalom/Salam

* and dont tell me this is not the trinity god[jehovah, Jesus, holyghost] waging war and killing. Or is it out of contex? Just like you gentiles posting Quran verses without understanding it.
