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. |
Rawr! Fear me! I am a muslim and I am simply too evil for my beliefs! I am a destroyer...
I am offensive and I find this muslim.
No, but seriously, you got your facts a little wrong there. Muslims believe in Jesus, we just don't believe he was the son of God nor that he was crucified. Don't get me wrong. Someone was crucified, it Just wasn't Jesus peace be upon him.
