Similarities Between Islam And Catholicism by tidytim: 9:22am On Jul 12, 2012
Similarities Between Islam and Catholicism The Roman Catholic Church and Islam Connection


1. Both The Roman Catholic Church and Islam believe that only they are the one true church/religion.


2. The Roman Catholic Church and the Islam require mandatory fasting.


3. The Roman Catholic Church worships, prays to and gives titles of God to Mary. Islam highly esteems Mary and she is mentioned 34 times in the Qu'ran.

"Even the infidel Muhammed glorifies Mary in his Koran, saying, 'The angels shall say to Maryam, "Allah has chosen thee; he has made thee exempt from all stain'". The Marian (Roman Catholic) Bible


4. The Roman Catholic Church and Islam base their salvation on a complicated system of works and deny salvation by faith alone. There is no assurance of salvation in either religion.


5. Both cults deny the Biblical view of the Atonement. The Roman Catholic Church doctrine dictates that one must go to Purgatory to have his sins purged, Jesus just paved the way. The Muslims believe their works will save them but will not know until Judgment Day. This is because there is no atonement for sin, and God's grace does not exist.


6. The Roman Catholic Church claims visions and apparitions in an effort to add false doctrine. Muhammad claimed to be purified as a child by angels. He claimed to receive revelations from Archangel Gabriel.


7. The Roman Catholic Church uses a rosary for their prayers, Islam uses prayer beads. The rosary/prayer beads are concepts taken from paganism.


8. The Pope is the vicar or substitute of Christ for the Roman Catholic Church. In Islam, Muhammad is called the last and final Messenger of God, the successor to Jesus.


9. The Roman Catholic Church and Islam have their own divorce system. The Roman Catholic Church grants anullments and Islam allows a man to divorce his wife by telling her she is divorced.


10. Islam rejects the Trinity doctrine, the Deity of Christ, salvation by grace through faith and teaches that Christians should be killed. However, the Roman Catholic Church accepts them and believes that they are offered salvation because of their faith in Abraham.


11. Both church organizations believe that leaving their church will result in eternal damnation.


12. The Roman Catholic Church and Islam share a hatred for the Jews.


13. The Roman Catholic Church and the Islam base some of their doctrine on pagan traditions. For The Roman Catholic Church the traditions of a goddess, rosary, pope, relics, purgatory, transubstantiation, praying to dead people, and idol worship are all based on paganism. The Allah of Islam was actually a pagan god, and not even the major deity.


14. The Roman Catholic Church and Islam have added books to support false doctrine. The Roman Catholic Church has added the Apocrypha and Islam the Qu'ran.


15. The Roman Catholic Church priest system (including Popes) has a history of sexual abuse of women and children. Islam has a history of (including Muhammad) sexual abuse of women and children.


16. Both religions believe in using FORCE to spread their version of the one true god to the unbelievers.


17. Both religions believe in a union with the state or of using the police powers of the state to compel obedience to their tenets.



18 Both religions have a "holy" shrine in which the believers are taught to look to as their headquarters

e.g. Mecca and the Vatican.

no difference exists between ISLAM and Catholicism.

The both believe in WAR to spread their religion, they both believe that a child born automatically inherit the parents faith, they are heavily dependent on rites, ceremonies, dead works and pilgrimages to try to appease God, they believe in a hell that even Satan will flinch at , too many coincidences.

So do many religions. So does your protestant church




tidytim:
2. The Roman Catholic Church and the Islam require mandatory fasting.


Fasting is not mandatory in the catholic church.




The others could be true but your first two are really wrong
