Islam and christanity?
928636
Well, first of all I wanna make some things clear.\n\nsomeone here said that the devil has led them away from jesus by tempting them. now, the DEVIL makes people sin right? now, why should the devil lead them to islam? in islam we respect jesus as our prophet, we even have on e whole verse for marriam (or mary). what is so satanic about that? isnt sex a sin in christianity? then why are most of them from "good christian families" doing it so openly? \n"CONVERT OR DIE"? theres no such things. Our prophet mohamed (p.b.u.h) respected the non-muslims, and didnt force them. in our holy book theres a verse that goes " ...you go your way, and we go ours..".\n whos gonna kill these people if they dont convert? your just saying these dumb things to cover up ur insecurity\n\npeople convert to islam, beacause they have found the truth for themselves.\n\nthe reason that people attack this fact buy saying the devil this and that is because they are insecure.\n\nread harun yahya, mauriche bucilles and ahmad deedats books.\nkeep an open mind and read these books before you say this and that.\n\nso far, i have never heard of a muslim converting to any religion and preaching.\n\nOverall, i think its best we stop attacking each other, and learn to respect each other. religion is somthing for yourself, what you believe is sacred in your heart. so the more you question the more you try to make excuses it means youre insecure. peace

jesus did not teach christianity. jesus taught islam. rather paul's teachings are the foundation of the christian doctrine. paul was a great persecuter of the "christians" and then began to teach "christianity" which was his way of truly doing away with them. he would never kill them all so instead he took their religion from them by altering it. it's good to see you read the bible. the bible adamently supports and teaches islam. it is contradictory to christain thought.

Islam is a way of life.  Muslims practice their religion everyday, in everything they do, where as in christianity they practice every sunday.  Following the five pillars of islam will put u in the right path.

Islam respects and holds Prophet Jesus Very highly indeed.\n\nAs for Mary, ofcourse the Quran holds Mary very very highly also.\n\nThere is even an ENTIRE Chapter named After Mary. It is called MARY!\n\nWhat other religion  respects Christianity this way????

We Christians are not taught to "hate" anyone! However, we are taught the truth, which is, that Jesus is the Son of God. This guy they call mohammed never died on the cross for anyones sins! He is not of importance, but just another man who thinks he knows it all. If you are a real Chrisitan you will realize that when someone does not have Christ in their religion, they are called, you guessed it, an anti-Christ. We do not hate muslims, but we really don't like them trying to push this Islam off on us. I have seen on TBN where there are many muslims converting to Christianity. When you tell muslims this, they report you!

Me: Muslim\n\nJesus in Islam    \n\nThe Islamic view of Jesus (or, “Isa in Arabic, ;- peace be upon him) lies between two extremes. The Jews, who rejected Isa (Jesus) as a Prophet, called him an imposter. The Christians, on the other hand, considered him to be the son of God and worship him as such. Islam considers Isa (Jesus, Peace be upon him ) to be one of the great Prophets of Allah and respects him as much as Ibrahim (Abraham), Musa (Moses), and Muhammad (peace be upon them all). This is in conformity with the Islamic view of the oneness of God (Allah), the oneness of Divine guidance, and the complementary role of the subsequent mission of Allah’s messengers. \n\nThe essence of Islam- willing submission to the will of Allah- was revealed to Adam ( - peace be upon him), who passed it on to his children. All the following revelations to Nuh (Noah), Ibrahim, Musa, Isa (Jesus), and, finally, Muhammad (peace be upon them all) are in conformity with that message, with some elaboration to define the relation between man and God, man and man, man and his en­vironment, and living according to Allah’s instructions. Thus, Islam views any contradictions among revealed religions as a man-made element introduced into these religions. The position of Isa (Jesus, Peace be upon him ) in the three major creeds- Judaism, Christianity, and Islam- is not an exception. \nMiraculous Birth\n\nAlthough the Qur'an does not present a detailed life-story of Isa (Jesus, Peace be upon him ), it high­lights the important aspects of his birth, his mission, his ascension to heaven, and passes judgment on the Christian beliefs concerning him. The Qur'anic account of Isa (Jesus, Peace be upon him ) starts with the conception of his mother, Maryam (Mary, peace be upon her), whose mother, the wife of Imran, vowed to dedicate her child to the service of God in the temple. When Maryam (Peace be upon her)  became a woman, the Holy Spirit (the angel Jibraîl ) appeared to her as a man bringing her the news of a son. We read the following dialogue in the Qur'an between Maryam (Peace be upon her)  and the angel: \n\nWhen the angels said: ‘O Mary! Allah gives thee glad tidings of a Word from Him, whose name is the Messiah, Jesus, Peace be upon him son of Mary, illustrious in the world and the Hereafter, and one of those brought near (unto Allah). \n\n  He will speak unto mankind in his cradle and in his manhood, and he will be of the righteous.’ \n\nShe said: ‘My Lord! How can I have a child when no mortal has touched me?’ He said: ‘So (it will be). Allah creates what He will. If He decrees a thing, He says unto it only: “Be!” and it is.’  (Ali-Imran, 3:45-47) \n\nIn a chapter (surah) entitled “Maryam” (Mary), the Qur'an tells us how Maryam (Peace be upon her)  gave birth to her son, and how the Jews accused her when she brought the child home: \n\nThen she brought him to her own folk, carrying him. They said: ‘O Mary! Thou hast come with an amazing thing. O sister of Aaron! Thy father was not a wicked man nor was thy mother a woman unchaste.’ \n\nThen she pointed to him. They said, ‘How can we talk to one who is in the cradle, a young boy?’ \n\nHe spoke: ‘Lo! I am the servant of Allah. He has given me the Scripture and has appointed me a Prophet; And has made me blessed wheresoever I may be, and has enjoined upon me prayer and alms-giving so long as I live; And (has made me) dutiful toward her who bore me, and has not made me arrogant, wicked. Peace be upon me the day I was born, and the day I die, and the day I shall be raised alive!’ (Maryam, 19:27-33) \n\nIn the same chapter, following the above quotation, Allah assures Muhammad ( peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), and through him the whole world, that what is told above is the TRUTH about Isa (Jesus, Peace be upon him ), although the Christians might not accept it. Isa (Jesus, Peace be upon him ) is NOT the “son of God”: he was, obviously enou

The Koran considers the Old Testament, and some of the New to be holy texts. It considers itself a religion that builds off of Judaism into something new. Jesus and Muhammad were not the same person. There are a few centuries between the establishment of Christianity and Islam.\n\nSo while both are Holy Texts based on the Abrahamic tradition, they aren't mirror images of each other.

I will give this a shot, so to speak.\nI am going to give this, but if you want all the scripture references, then it will be very lengthy.  But I can put them here.  \nAbraham had two children Ishmael, through a slave woman, and Isaac through his wife.  The Christian linage follows the seed of Isaac.  Ishmael (father of all arabs) was thrown out of the family.  Anyway the linage of God and his people Israel follow Isaac, Jacob, 12 tribes of Israel (Jacob, God changed his name)  Anyway that is where it all started.  \nIslam came about with the prophet Muhammad around 1400 when he wrote the Koran.  And it has developed from there.\nThe people of God, the Jews are the source of the Bible and Jesus was born the Messiah and as you know died for our sins.  Jesus said a lot of very definite things about himself that left no room for any other way to get to God.  Muhammad recognises Jesus as a prophet, but says that the Bible is totally wrong, but does not have any writings of Jesus.  This leaves Jesus as a sort of silent Prophet for them.  They concentrate on Muhammad and sort of ignore Jesus and any writings of his.  The teaching of Muhammad and Jesus are directly opposite even as their lives were.  Jesus never married and was finally killed for our sins.  Muhammad had a number of wives and one was a 6 year old girl that he consummated at the age of 9.  Anyway Christianity and Islam are at opposite ends completely.\nThere are copies of the Koran on the net and you can read them, they say some pretty gruesome things.  The Muslim community is trying to white wash the Koran, but unless they decide to re-write it they can not deny what it says.  The peaceful ones ignore the violent passages and quote the non violent passages.  The violent ones quote the violent passages to justify killing everyone.  And the passages are in there.  The Christian is bound by love your enemy and do good to them that hate you.  Directly opposite.  I can give the scriptures but it will be much longer.

This has nothing to do with Islam, you don't judge a religion by looking at people but by reading its teaching. I don't judge Christianity or Judaism or any other religion by looking at our society.

As you may have already read here, Muslims consider Jesus as a prophet of God. They call his "Isa". Quran acknowledges he has performed miracles to convince his people he was indeed the prophet of God. But it also states that Jesus will deny he has asked people to worship him on the day of Judgment.\n\nSee some of my other answers\nWhy do Muslims says Jesus Christ is a prophet?Does Mohammed have a record of miracles he has done on earth? \nhttp://answers.yahoo.com/question/?qid=1006013010601\nDoes the Koran say anything about Jesus? \nhttp://answers.yahoo.com/question/?qid=1006012004182\nShould Christians believe in Mohammed? \nhttp://answers.yahoo.com/question/?qid=1006013106005\n\nRegarding sin, Islam do not recognise concept of orginal sin in which everyone is born in sin. Sincere repentance is required for forgiving of sins. Animal sacrifice in islam is not directly related to sin forgiveness, but is usually performed related to Eid_al-Adha(See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eid_al-Adha )

If you believe that Islam is spoken of in the Holy Bible, then it only points to one truth, that the Holy Bible is true. I just am not sure that it is about Islam that is being spoken of.\n\nIf the Bible is true and the Qur'an is true as you claim, then there are already two truths. All believe that there is one God so then why are there two truths?\n\nJust asking?

In Qoran all prophets are named and accepted especially Jesus. There is a big section hailing Virgin Marie. All Muslims accept Jesus as a holy prophet & in no way detest or deny christianity.\n\nIn Islam they believe prophets are normal people gifted to guide people through. Therefore there is no son of god thing. Even Muhammad lived & died like a noble man. He was famous before becoming a prophet for his truthfulness & honesty & he was of a royal Arab family just like Jesus himself.\n\nWhat is it with which prophet is better or worse? We all worship the same god through different channels! With or without religion. Isn't the main aim of each religion love towards humanity???

Muslims (and Islam) say Jesus was a prophet but they reject all His teachings ....that is hypocrisy.\n\nThey reject Christ's divinity;\nthey reject his claim to be the Son of God;\nthey reject his death on the cross...\nthey reject His ressurrection..\nThey reject Jesus is the Christ/ Messiah...\nNeed I say more...?\n\nDon't be deceived. The Islamic god is totally different than the God of Jesus Christ .\n\n"Who is a liar but he that denies that Jesus is the Christ?  He is anti-Christ, that denies the Father and the Son. He that denies the Son, the same has not the Father." (I John 2:22)

GOOD QUESTION\n\nbecause, we invite you to believe in true teachings of Jesus. \n\nJesus never said "I am God", "worship me" or "i have come to die for the sins of mankind".\n\nsecondly,, yes we believe that all the prophets including jesus pbuh were sinless .\n\nand marrying is not a sin. several prophets of God get married.  We also believe that Jesus never murdered any innocent, never owned slaves, never made fun of black people. so as Prophet Muhammad pbuh.. read the truth about Muhammad pbuh >> www.muhammad.net\n\nbeing involve in politics is not bad or sin. although its beneficial for the mankind. and Islam includes the teachings of politics. and social justice. \n\nlet me clarify you one thing.. we dont worship KAABA.\n\nKaaba is the Qibla i.e. the direction Muslims face during their prayers. It is important to note that though Muslims face the Kaaba during prayers, they do not worship the Kaaba. Muslims worship and bow to none but Allah.\n\nIt is mentioned in Surah Baqarah:\n\n"We see the turning of thy face (for guidance) to the heavens: now shall We turn thee to a Qiblah that shall please thee. Turn then thy face in the direction of the Sacred Mosque: wherever ye are, turn your faces in that direction."           [Al-Qur’an 2:144] \n\n=====================\n\nYES AND ISLAM TOO SHUNS RACISM.\n\n"O mankind! We created you from a single (pair) of a male and a female, and made you into nations and tribes, that ye may know each other.  Verily the most honoured of you in the sight of Allah is the most righteous of you.  And Allah has full knowledge and is well-acquainted.  (The Noble Quran, 49:13)"\n\n\n================\n\nHOPE THIS ANSWERS.\n\n\nISLAM TAKES BACK US TO THE REAL JESUS WHOSE TEACHINGS ARE BEING INTERPOLATED WITH THE PASSAGE OF TIME.\n\n"And when God will say, `Jesus, son of Mary, didst thou say to men, `take me and my mother as gods, apart from God?' He will say, `Holy be Thou, it is not mine to say what I have no right to ; if I had said it, Thou wouldst have known it; Thou knowest what is in my mind, but I do not know what is in Thy mind; Thou art surely the All-knowing of the unseen things.  I did not say to them except what Thou didst command me: __ `serve God, my Lord and your Lord,' and I was a witness over them, so long as I remained among them; but when Thou didst take me, Thou Thyself wast the watcher over them; and Thou art a witness over all things.  (Quran 5:116-117)\n\n============================\n\nPEACE BE ON YOU\n\n\n\nEDIT >>>>>>>>>>>>>>\n****************************************\n\nXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX\n\nSIS, YOU SAID > "you are incorrect. Jesus did announce He is God "\n\n"There is not a single unequivocal statement in the entire Bible where Jesus (peace be upon him) himself says, "I am God" or where he says, "worship me".\n\nI challenge, you will not find any statement where Jesus pbuh HIMSELF said "i am God"... i dont consider what paul , john or other people who wrote books decades after Jesus pbuh. \n\n\n=================\n\nYes i already said that Jesus and Muhammad (peace be upon them both) never murdered any innocent people. The spread peace.  thats why we don't consider bible to be authentic. see below. \n\nMatthew 10:34 Think not that I am come to send peace on earth; I came not to send peace, but a sword. –Jesus, ..............................WE BELIEVE THAT JESUS CAME TO SPREAD PEACE.. I.E. ISLAM\n\nLuke 12:49-53  \nLuke 12:49  "I am come to send FIRE on the earth; and what will I, if it be already kindled?\nLuke 12:50  But I have a baptism to be baptized with; and how am I straitened till it be accomplished!\nLuke 12:51  Suppose ye that I am come to give PEACE on earth? I tell you, NAY; but rather DIVISION." \nLuke 12:52 For from henceforth there shall be five in one house divided, three against t

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.
