Is the worship of God really necessary?

lol at people saying Christians have a different god than Muslims because we believe that Jesus (pbuh) is not gods son! in Islam we have to respect all prophets of God and all religions to be Muslims. If you do not accept one prophet then you are not Muslim!

I love Jesus (pbuh) and respect him but he is not Gods sun as God was not born and does not give birth! If Jesus (pbuh) was a demigod then Adam is a real God since God created him with no mother nor a father!

I don't make fun of prophets and god and I don't draw pictures of them either since I am not allowed to do so!

if you read the old testament (the unchanged bible) you will find that in it Jesus (pbuh) talks about the last prophet that will come and seal Gods religion as in the completion of his religion!

The incarnation (Jesus as God/Son of God) and also the death, burial and resurrection of Christ are essential to Christianity.  Islam denies this, and also while Jesus is said to be Messiah, I have yet to see a consistent understanding on the part of Muslims as to what this means.  In Christianity, it is all about salvation, being delivered from sin and so on.  Islam is all about submission.   You can correct me on this, but Islam says the only problem is that we didn't have a pure form of God's Law, and people choose  to not submit enough.  There is nothing in Islam that speaks of people being slaves to Sin.  Also, God is something entirely other and has little to do with humans being humans.  Christians say that man is made in God's images.  In Islam, God transcends everything.  There is talk of love, MAYBE, in Islam, but it really doesn't fit what is in the Christian religion either.

While Muslims can respect Christians, and act nice as you have,there really isn't much in common between Islam and Christianity at all.

I wil say this by asking you personally to go through the New Testament texts and either only copy down the verses that agree with Islam or list the ones that disagree.  And then see how much is left.  Islam claims the New Testament texts are corrupted, thus the Qu'ran is needed.

Islam does have a beautiful and logical simplicity to it.  Just, it ends up destroying what makes Christianity Christianity in its beautiful and logical simplicity.

anything altered by humans is automatically corrupted because its no longer Gods true words also you will find many contradictions in the Bible but not in the Koran. i see no point in reading the new testament as it is altered! if you want to see the resemblance between Islam and Christianity you should read the old testament.

if you can read the Koran in Arabic then you would see that the oldest copy you can find and the newest copy are 100% the same! now you tell me is that not the power of God? anything human made can easily be changed but the difference between the Koran and the Bible is that God said that the words in Koran will not change and if it does people will know about it. its no longer the Koran if a single letter is changed!

we Muslims pray 5 times a day and in the prayer we recite words from the Koran and a lot of people know the Koran to heart so if you burn all the Korans in the world and then gather 5 Muslims for instance from around the world they would recreate the book in a day ot two! can that be done with the Bible? no of course not because there are so many versions of it!

now I respect people for what they believe in but you should know that what you believe in is true or not and once there is alterations in something then those words are no longer Gods words.

Jesus (pbuh) is the Messiah and he will return as he never died. the anti Christ will come before he does. its actually pretty cool!
