Should people believe in Christ and Muhammed? WHY?

False dilemma. Both religions are false. One is more violent than the other. However, its not an either/or choice. You can have your own stupid reasons for believing either. The most illogical choice would be both!

everyone believes they are right, and also feel that others should believe the same. the problem isn't that there is no tolerance. Take Christianity for example, if you believe and I don't, you go to heaven and I go to hell. on the other hand, for fundamentalist denominations of Islam (some of them) feel that if you believe and I don't, then I will go to hell, but YOU will go to hell if you don't convert me. so that certain aspect doesn't help things....

The problem with Muslims is that you hold to the word of one prophet and ignore the rest. Great prophets in the Old Testament prophesied many times of the coming King and how He would suffer to heal His people. I judge a prophet by his message. That message has to be consistent with all the previous messages from God. Mohammad's message is out of sync. It doesn't teach that blood must be shed to gain forgiveness of sin as both the Old and the New Testaments do. You deny Christ's position. Out of His own mouth He claimed to be the I AM God that spoke to Moses from the burning bush. Adam and Eve Died the day they sinned. They lost the presence of God in their lives and physical death followed. Now God is restored in the Lives of the Christian Gos walk with us in our daily walk before Him. We are alive Spiritually again. We still carry with us the body of sin that is subject to physical death. When it is gone our spirits go to the Father who created them and so we are ever with the Lord. I don't know as you can understand the two deaths physical and spiritual because I don't know your teaching that well. All I need to know about Islam is that you deny that Jesus is God. That tells me that your religion is closer to a cult than it is to God...   Jim

Much of the christian world is in the dark about islam. Christianity is not a religion that accepts those who do not believe in the same religion. Too many people know too little about other religions, and than make ignorant statements about what they do not know.

Just because an athiest says the name of a person who happens to be in your book, doesn't mean he believes in them.  For example, if you said Allah or Muhamed(spelling), does that mean you are an muslim?  Not to mention, according to Christians using gods name in vain is considered a sin.  If these people truley believe in your god, do you think they would deliberately damn themselves to eternal torture?

Bottom line,\n\nWho are you going to believe,\n\nJesus, who rose from the dead?\n\n{His bones are absent from the grave!}\n\n\nOr Muhammed, a 51 year old man who put his sexual organ inside a 9 year old girl? He also approved of husbands to beat their wives!\n\nCheck it out! Do like I am doing. Get a Quran and read it for yourself!\n\n_________________________________________________________________________________________\n\nI would be wary of people telling you not to listen to another point of view.\n\nCheck things out for yourself! Listen to both sides. Find out what is the Light that exposes the Darkness!

No.  While we all believe in the same god, there are major differences.\n\nChristians believe in God and Jesus Christ as His son.\n\nJews believe in God but do not believe in Jesus Christ.\n\nMuslims believe in God but do not believe Jesus Christ was the son of God, but rather a Prophet, and that Mohamed was His messenger, which Christians and Jews do not.

Muslims believe in OneUnique, Incomparable God; in the Angels created by Him; in the prophets through whom His revelations were brought to mankind; in the Day of Judgement and individual accountability for actions; in God's complete authority over human destiny and in life after death. Muslims believe in a chain of prophets starting with Adam and including Noah, Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, Job, Moses, Aaron, David, Solomon, Elias, Jonah, John the Baptist, and Jesus, peace be upon them. But God's final message to man, a reconfirmation of the eternal message and a summing-up of all that has gone before was revealed to the Prophet Muhammad through Gabriel.\n\nA true Muslim must accept 5 main articles of faith. These are known as the shahada (witness) :\n\nlst Article : Belief in Allah as the one true God. This is a strict, numerical monotheism. A Muslim looks at the Judeo-Christian view of a unity in the Godhead with contempt.\n\n2nd Article : Belief in angels as instruments of God's will. Mohammed allegedly received his revelation from the angel Gabriel.\n\n3rd Article : Belief in the 4 inspired books - the Torah (5 books of Moses), the Zabur (the psalms), the lnjil (the gospel), and the final revelation, the Koran.\n\nMuslims claim that the Koran has been kept perfectly unlike the Christian Bible. While they claim to respect the Bible, they also believe that it has been corrupted. The Muslims make incredible claims about their writings and will always compare our Bible to the Koran for testing the truth. However, many of their claims cannot be substantiated and scholars have decidedly proven them untrue.\n\n4th Article : Belief in the 28 prophets of Allah, Mohammed being the last and the greatest.\n\nAccording to Islam, there are 124,000 prophets (Note: No one has ever seen the listing of names) which comprised the history of the human race, but there are 28 main prophets which include : Adam, Noah, Moses, David, Solomon, and Jesus. Jesus is viewed as just another prophet in line with the others.\n\n5th Article : Belief in a final Day of Judgment.\n\nOnly those who obey Allah and his prophet can enter into Heaven (hopefully). All others will be sent to Hell.\n\nSo, if one wants to become a Muslim they need to say the shahada, bearing witness that there is no god but Allah and Mohammed is his prophet. The Islamic believer must perform good works which will be weighed at the end of their life. If Allah is graceful and merciful, the Muslim will enter Heaven. However, the Koran teaches that Allah is arbitrary in passing out his mercy, and no one has any guarantee of making it. The only sure way to make it to Heaven is if the Muslim dies in a Jihad. Only then will they go directly to Heaven. This is their only assurance for salvation. This explains why so many Muslims willingly give their lives in terroristic acts for their cause.\n\nMuslims also have 5 main pillars of Faith and they are;\n\n1. FAITH\nThere is no god worthy of worship except God and Muhammad is His messenger. This declaration of faith is called the Shahada.\n\n2. PRAYER\nSalah is the name for the obligatory prayers which are performed five times a day, and are a direct link between the worshipper and God.\n\n3. THE "ZAKAT"\nOne of the most important principles of Islam is that all things belong to God, and that wealth is therefore held by human beings in trust. The word zakat means both 'purification' and 'growth'. Our possessions are purified by setting aside a proportion for those in need, and, like the pruning of plants, this cutting back balances and encourages new growth.\n\n4. THE FAST\nEvery year in the month of Ramadan, all Muslims fast from first light until sundown, abstaining from food, drink, and sexual relations. Those who are sick, elderly, or on a journey, and women who are pregnant or nursing are permitted to break the fast and make up an equal number of days later in the year. If they are physically

First, I don't think anybody can definitively "prove" Jesus' existence.  But, I do know that I admire the mythology of Jesus and his teachings.  I also admire other great humans from antiquity.  Whether you choose to believe in Jesus or not, don't disregard the wonderful parables and teachings of the man.  You can choose to learn from a variety of sources without having to be a Christian or Muslim or Atheist.  There is good knowledge out there.  Seek it.

I don't know. Why don't you ask them yourself. I'm not sure, there canbe many reasons.\nAs for Jesus, he is a Prophet as well. All Muslims shoud believe that. And there is not dispute about this. Also if your a strict Christian, and you go by every word in the bible and believe in it. Then why don't you believe in the Prophet Muhammad? He is mentioned in the Bible...how about that?( The links ae further down)\n\nPraise be to Allaah. \n\nIslam means submitting to Allaah, worshipping Him alone and obeying Him, and shunning shirk (polytheism, associating others with Allaah) and those who believe in that. This is the religion which Allaah approves for His slaves. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): \n\n“Truly, the religion with Allaah is Islam”\n\n[Aal- ‘Imraan 3:19] \n\n“And whoever seeks a religion other than Islam, it will never be accepted of him, and in the Hereafter he will be one of the losers”\n\n[Aal ‘Imraan 3:85] \n\nThe person who enters this religion is called a Muslim (one who submits), because he has submitted (aslama) to all the rulings that have come from Allaah and from the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him). Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): \n\n“And who turns away from the religion of Ibraaheem (Abraham) (i.e. Islamic Monotheism) except him who befools himself? Truly, We chose him in this world and verily, in the Hereafter he will be among the righteous.\n\nWhen his Lord said to him, ‘Submit (i.e. be a Muslim)!’ He said, ‘I have submitted myself (as a Muslim) to the Lord of the ‘Aalameen (mankind, jinn and all that exists).’” [al-Baqarah 2:130-131] \n\n“Yes, but whoever submits his face (himself) to Allaah (i.e. follows Allaah’s religion of Islamic Monotheism) and he is a Muhsin ( a doer of good who does good deeds solely for the sake of Allaah) then his reward is with his Lord (Allaah), on such shall be no fear, nor shall they grieve”\n\n[al-Baqarah 2:112].\n\nThat's what basically all the other Prophets were, they submitted themselves submisevly to the will of Allaah.\nHis is the creation and the commandment :\nhttp://islamqa.com/index.php?ref=13379&ln=eng\n\nGuidelines of the true religion \nhttp://islamqa.com/index.php?ref=9607&ln=eng\nIs there a Creator of this universe?\nhttp://islamqa.com/index.php?ref=4548&ln=eng\nThe creation of man :\nhttp://islamqa.com/index.php?ref=13286&ln=eng\nTHE LORD OF THE WORLDS \nhttp://islamqa.com/index.php?ref=14010&ln=eng\n\nEvidence that the Qur'aan is the Word of Allaah \nhttp://islamqa.com/index.php?ref=13804&ln=eng\nTrees mentioned in the Qur’aan and Sunnah\nhttp://islamqa.com/index.php?ref=1920&ln=eng\nMankind’s need for religion \nhttp://islamqa.com/index.php?ref=14055&ln=eng\n\nMankind’s need for the Messengers:\nhttp://islamqa.com/index.php?ref=13957&ln=eng\n\nWho was Muhammad(peace and blessings of Allah be upon him)\nhttp://islamqa.com/index.php?ref=500&ln=eng\n\nEvidence for the truth of the Prophethood of Muhammad \nhttp://islamqa.com/index.php?ref=2144&ln=eng\nMuhammad (peace be upon him) in the bible\nhttp://islamqa.com/index.php?ref=10116&ln=eng\nMore questions and answer about the Prophet Muhammad-His Biography:\nhttp://islamqa.com/index.php?ref=376&ln=eng\nTrees mentioned in the Qur’aan and Sunnah\nhttp://islamqa.com/index.php?ref=1920&ln=eng\nhttp://islamqa.com/index.php?ref=4028&ln=eng\nhttp://islamqa.com/index.php?cref=377&ln=eng\n\nplease read a question about Jesus, and get a better understanding - read my answer - and more about your so called holy book.\nhttp://uk.answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AoEean8wqIIl6VJObYwf6xwgBgx.?qid=20061017074921AAhRHry\nAslo \nhttp://islamqa.com/index.php?ref=185&ln=eng\nAnd \nhttp://islamqa.com/index.php?ref=10116&ln=eng\nhttp://islamqa.com/index.php?ref=44018&ln=eng\nThank you... also read this \nhttp://www.islamawareness.net/Christianity/inbible.html\nI hope you know what I am trying to say about....

Wow, \n\nI'm amazed at how people can be "So led Astray"!\n\nI have started to read the Quran that my Muslim friend gave me.\n\nIt has nothing to do with God, and everything to do with Muhammed, inventing his own fairy-tale god to suit Muhammed's purposes.\n\n\nWhy would anyone want to listen to a 54 year old man,{Muhammed}, that put his sexual organ into a 9 year old girl,{Aiesha}?\n\nThat alone disqualifies Him!

Christians would be pretty much those people that believe in Jesus "Christ". So yes they would be "christ"ian.

Quran provides absolute freedom of belief. Though a Muslim has a duty to spread the message of Islam to others, it is upto them to believe or not.\n\n"Let there be no compulsion in religion: Truth stands out clear from Error: whoever rejects evil and believes in GOD has grasped the most trustworthy hand-hold, that never breaks. And GOD heareth and knoweth all things. " Quran 2:256. \n\n"Say, "The truth is from your Lord": Let him who will believe, and let him who will, reject (it): " Quran 18: 29. \n\n"And if your Lord had pleased, surely all those who are in the earth would have believed, all of them; will you then force men till they become believers? " Quran  10: 99.

I'm a Christian and I believe in muhammad, that is I believe he existed, but I already have faith in Jesus, so I don't need him. I don't actually believe he was a prophet, or at least a prophet of God. It says in Galatians 1 v 6 I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting the one who called you by the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel— 7which is really no gospel at all. Evidently some people are throwing you into confusion and are trying to pervert the gospel of Christ. 8But 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! 9As 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!\nIt goes for the story of Muhammad and also The story of Joseph smith (Mormons) That's why I don't believe in him as a true prophet

Christian, and proud. \nI believe it is right because everything in this religion makes sense. You have no question or doubt that God exists or anything in that area. There are tons of religions out there that are SO obscure and some really make you wonder if he exists. And as I know, if you don't believe and have Jesus Christ in you heart, you aren't going to Heaven and that is fact. It just makes so much sense in my religion. I have NO question that God exists and I shouldn't its so nice to go to bed at night knowing I'm going to Heaven. What a relief isn't it?

As a friend of a Muslim family from Pakistan. Let me put some first hand observation on this topic. If it was told (truth)the Muslims do believe in Jesus, they believe He was a Prophet, not the Son of God Mu hammed to them was a Prophet also and Allah is there god. They feel that Christians and Jews are infidels, we are not worthy of knowing the truth. We are so wrong and there true purpose is to convert as many as they can to being a Muslim they call it the only true religion. They intend on ruling the world, they're a waring group, even among themselves. They fight like crazy amongst themselves. They feel superior to anybody other than other Muslims. They feel they are the right linage to Abraham through Ismael.  Abraham was a Jew. They hate Jews, go figure. I am not sure they really know what they believe. It would take a really good shrink to break down that confusion.  As we know they function on hate and destruction.

Interesting question.\n\nWhat I find strange is that people can blaspheme "Jesus" in books, films, TV, etc.  \n\nBut no-one ever blasphemes "Mohammad" on these mediums and if they did they'd get a kicking.  Seems a bit unfair to me, especially since Christians believe Jesus was on a par with God the Father and Mohammad is just believed to be Allah's sacred prophet (but not on par with God).\n\nAlso in the UK, we bend over backwards to allow Muslim to have their own schools, information in their language, rights to wear their attire in workplaces.  Whereas people who become christians in some muslim countries (eg Saudia Arabia) are denied jobs or imprisoned or tortured (see Open Doors website http://sb.od.org)\n\nIs it simply that Muslims are more intolerant whereas Christians forgive?\n\nPlease don't get me wrong - we should respect each others beliefs (even if we don't agree) - but there must be equality!
