what do christianity and islam think about this statement?
130663
I personally think it is very wrong that some should have so much while others have so little... why some should enjoy their life with luxuries while others die of disease and famine. It enrages me that we live in a culture where we worship those who earn millions doing fundenmentally useless things like acting... where we openly encourage them to live lives that they don't need to be living, squandering wealth that could be inputted into keeping many other humans alive. \n\nI personally give a great deal to charity and will always campaign to get people to do the same and to start caring about others more than they do themselves. I am sure most Christians and Muslims, and any other religion would agree with this statement, as in all religions, there is an element that claims it is good to care about your fellow humans. \n\nPut it like this, something has to change in this world.

I was raised a Catholic but personally I think Islam is a great faith, too bad some followers of  Muhammad ibn Abd al Wahhab have given your religion a black eye, but don't true Muslims view terrorists as Fasiq or Munafiq, I've read that the virgin Mary is mentioned more often in the Qur'ān than in the Bible, and having a Pope and Cardinals that live extravagantly in mansions after taking a vow of poverty certainly is hypocritical, let alone all the corrupt priests, and Evangelists that have been caught doing despicable things. We should all command what is good, forbid what is evil, and strive to seek God's approval.

Simple version: no.\nVersion with an explanation: No, for many reasons. The first one, though, is that God said not to do it. God tells Christians not to be yoked with non-Christians. There are many reasons for this:\n-Where will you go to church?\n-Will the muslim want to tithe to the Christian church?\n-what will the children learn as the true religion?\n-What will they think when they find out that their mom is not saved, and what will they think of that?\n-What will the children think when they read that muslims should kill all Christians?\n-How will it feel for the CHristian to have sex with the muslim- knowing that the muslim is going to hell?\n\nWhen people say that "nothing can stand in the way of love" that really bothers me. That is like saying, 'I have an earthly love for this muslim. I know that it isn't God's plan for me to marry them until they are a born again Chrstian, but I really think that our love knows more than the Master of the Universe.' There will be trial after trial in this relationship. \n\nIt may seem hard to hear that this person isn't God's plan for you. God sees such a bigger picture than what we can at this time. He knows best. Our lives will go better if we just listen to what He tells us. You are going to have to stop dating this muslim girl. You don't want to lead her on. If she is truly born again at a later time, then you can see if you want to start dating her again. \n\n I have already been praying for you.

I don't think Christians reject Muhammad at all, just as they don't reject any other prophet in the Old Testament.\nChristians just believe that Jesus is "the Way, the Truth and the Life".  That's all.

Well first of all, answering-Islam.org is not exactly spot on about their Christian theology / history in places, so one should be careful about the Islamic theology / history that the site wrote themselves.  However, they do have a good collection of other people's works that are well vetted and scholarly.\n\nThey host The Original Sources of the Qur'an by W. St. Clair Tisdall which is a good book, if dated.\n\nAs a historian and a person with degrees in religion focusing on comparative religion, let me say this:  The Catholic/Orthodox Churches of Mohammed's time period considered Islam to be a Christian heresy and have enough sources and historical data to back this claim up.  (A Muslim might deny this, but it is a factual challenge to the origin of Islam and not an accusation without evidence)A good modern read before jumping into the historical primary sources would be to read the modern English historian Hilaire Belloc's "The Great Heresies" which you can read the pertinent chapter online here  \nhttp://www.ewtn.com/library/HOMELIBR/HERESY4.TXT\n\nI would also like to point out that Islam has since evolved and is its own religion by its own right and should not be considered a heresy of Christianity in its modern context.  Islam is no longer a synthesis of the beliefs of the 7th century Arabia but is its own contained theological systems that has moved far beyond its original sources.

it doent show and we cant say that all Muslims are better than christians ..I think some say things about Islam and Muslims because they dont really know much about Islam and we are here to tell them about this.

Christian views of Jesus (known as Christology) are both diverse and complex. Most Christians are Trinitarian and believe that Jesus is both the Son of God and God made incarnate, sent to provide salvation and reconciliation with God by atoning for the sins of humanity. Nontrinitarian Christians adopt various other interpretations of Jesus' divinity. Mainstream Christians believe that Jesus was born of a virgin, crucified and entombed, resurrected on the third day of death, and ascended into Heaven where he resides with God the Father until the Second Coming. Mainstream Christians also believe that Jesus fulfilled Biblical prophecy.\n\nIn Islam, Jesus (called Isa) is considered one of God's most beloved and important prophets, a bringer of divine scripture, and also the Messiah. Muslims, however, do not share the Christian belief in the crucifixion or divinity of Jesus. Islam teaches that Jesus is alive in heaven and will return to the earth as Messiah in the company of the Mahdi once the earth has become full of sin and injustice

I think he is saying what he has been brainwashed to beleive.  Althought, I do know that this is what true islamic faith means.\n\nI am just amazed at this... There are so many people supporting Muslms, but Christians are the worst people to have inhabited the earth...

If you are a christian, then I would say that that is not good.  You need to be in some serious prayer, b4 you cross the line.  Islam does not believe in the divinity of Jesus and it clearly states in the bible that the only way to the Father is through the Son.

I certainly expect to see man Christ-like Christians in heaven Insha Allah .......... we, muslims, do follow Jesus' (pbuh) doctrine - we just don't believe in his divinity

Nice question, mate. I guess if the muslims said it was part of their religious observance, they'd be allowed to continue. Somehow don't think it would work if the Christians tried the same trick, though.

I don't think the Pope needs to apologize based on my understanding of what was said. As I understand, his comment was from a theological point of view and not meant to be a condemnation of the religion. I guess I think with all of the Muslim violence in the world, Muslims should take a closer look at themselves, fix whatever their problems are and not worry so much about what someone else said, even if it was the Pope.

It's interesting that you bring that up at a time Islam is attacked by Christians to be a violent religion, where as the verses they cite were revealed at a time of war. Unlike Christianity though the Quran NEVER condones the killing of women and children in any time or circumstance. As a Muslim and a believer of the gospel I don't believe that part was by God and was possibly put forth by the scribes.

The Old Testament fortold of Jesus coming, and He did, and He fulfilled the law on behalf of sinful humanity. He died, was buried, and rose again, and said He would return to collect us. He taught His apostles to spread the word of His salvation, and that He alone was the way to God, because He Himself was God-in-the-flesh. \n\nWe believe that Mohammed was a false prophet who conquered people and brought them under His own favorite god, the moon god Allah. The Koran is completely His work, while the Bible is 66 books written by 40 prophets, kings and Apostles, who all agree. The Bible is coherent and expects to be the final revelation until Christ returns. Why? Because Jesus did all that was necessary. There isn't anything left to say or do. \n\nMohammed came along and borrowed a little from the Bible, a little from his culture, and pressured everyone to conform. Islam denies that God can come in the flesh, which is astonishing if you consider who you are talking about. God can do whatever He wants. And He did. Mohammed just denies what Jesus did, denies who the Bible says Jesus is, and does nothing for anyone's soul. \n\nThere are many false religions that claim to be the latest and greatest. I ask you. Who among their proponents have raised themselves from the dead? None. No, Jesus came, and Jesus will come again at the very end. In the interim, a lot of people will claim religious authority. Don't believe them. \n\n"But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel other than the one we preached to you, let him be eternally condemned! As we have already said, so now I say again: If anybody is preaching to you a gospel other than what you accepted, let him be eternally condemned!" (HOLY BIBLE, Galatians 1:8-9).

Yes, only the doctrines differ slightly. Some muslims refer to Jewish and Christian peoples as "infidels", because muslims say that the Jewish and Christian peoples altered the work of God, by altering the bible from it's original form. Some Jewish people say that they are God's chosen people, while some Christians would argue that the Jewish people turned their backs on God when they called for the crucifiction of the Christ. But, that is all arguable and since I wasn't there, I will stay out of it.\nBut in summary; yes, they all worship the same God. Each had a prophet. Jewish-Moses. Christians-Jesus. Islam-Muhammed.

"cause when you study it, it says in the bible, jesus said that mohammmad is the last messenger of god."\n\nI dont recall ever reading this.\n\n\nEDIT_- Where is this at in the bible? WHy do you continue to make accusations without showing us where it is said?\n\nOhh and check this out.....men who called themselves christians have commited many terrible acts. True christians should denounce. I do. Do you denounce these actions?\n\n"Father Paulos Eskandar, of Mor Afrem Syriac Orthodox Church was kidnapped on the 9th of October 2006 by fanatic Muslims. Two days later the Muslims had decapitated the priest."\n\n"Three Muslims have been charged with the murders of the Christian schoolgirls committed almost a year ago, according to the Attorney-General's Office. On October 29 last year, four schoolgirls were walking to school in a village in Poso district, when they were attacked by men wearing black with their faces covered. The girls were hacked with machetes, and Ida Yarni Sambue (15), Theresia Morangke (15), and Alfita Poliwo (19) - were decapitated. The girl who survived, Noviana Malewa, had been hacked in the face and is scarred for life."\n\n"A suspected Muslim rebel said that he was paid $US20 ($A26) to throw a grenade during Friday prayers in Indian Kashmir that killed five people including four children."\nhttp://news.ninemsn.com.au/article.aspx?id=161289

muslims believe the world is rightfully theirs, its just a matter of time. They are allowed to lie about their religion in order to take it over. It is no wonder that they say they are a peaceful religion while in every single country where muslims are in control the Christian are persecuted and martyred. This is going on right under your noses. go to Africa or india and see whats happening to the christians in those places where the muslims are in control
