Inter-faith worship? Can Muslims and Christians worship together?
958585
I think that it is a great idea and I have seen this happen and work. I live in a regional area in Australia. We have several different religions in the town (and separate churches). However, we also have regular 'interfaith' sessions. They have leaders from several different religions: Christians, Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists etc. It is usually when something tragic happens and people need healing (a murder or car accident etc). That way, all people can pray and heal together.\n\nI think that it works really well and leads to further understanding and compassion.

Yes, I love Christians and i'm a devout Muslim.  I have alot of Christian family members and friends...in fact my Step-father is a Baptist who builds churches for a living.

Yes... I believe so. I am technically "christian"... but i am open to a lot of beliefs from other religions as well. I definitely take certain beliefs and values from other religions as well as christianity. I don't think I could say that I "worship" Jesus either. I worship GOD. Whichever god that may be. I choose to have a personal spiritual relationship with god and live my life the way I should.

No, remain Hindu if that's what you want. There are many paths to salvation, not just Islam or not just Christian. My mother is Islamic, my father is Methodist and my sisters and I are Catholic.  We respect each other's religion and we all go to Mass together or to Jouma together or to Church together. We include each other in our different religions.

That's a complicated question. Yes, they are all Christian but Christianity is an odd religion, really. Even if you have a same based religion, one branch of that religion is going to think that they're better than the others. And that's not limited to Christianity. Muslim's are divided into two groups: Sunnis and Shiites and they hate each other. It doesn't matter if it's the same religion, some people are always going to believe they're better than everyone else. Religions just a boundary we like to push down each other's throats.

The Jews believe in Jehovah but not in Christ or Mohammed.\nThe Muslims believe Jesus was a prophet, but they follow the teaching of Mohammed.\nThe Christians believe in Jehovah and Christ, but believe Mohammed was not a prophet of God.\n\nThe God that the Jews and Christians worship does not call on them to kill or enslave those who don't believe as they do.  The Muslims believe that their god does call on them to do this.  I do not think the same God would have such contradictory teachings.  For this reason, I do not believe that the Muslims follow the same God as the Jews and Christians.

Well Christians and Muslims can be closer and I think Quran (Muslim holy book) ordains the same

Christianity and Islam, ironically come from the same "parents" if you will. They are like feuding brothers. Many of the beliefs in both religions are very similar, with the exception of who they chose as their saints. The problem with islam in my humble opinion is that the religious people in charge dont try to conform to modern standards, rather they want to keep people lost in 2 A.D. Christianity isnt entirely better mind you, while it has to a large degree adapted to the modern world there are still many people who believe in antequated ideologies. \n\nThere are many kinds of christians, each with their own varaition of Christianity. Some believe in the trinity, God, Jesus and the Holy spirit. Some pay tribute to saints or holy people sent by god to do his work on earth. And some still have many varying beliefs that are not all the same. \n\nIt would not be a wise judgement to say that all christians are the same, as I've just pointed to you theyre not. I don't know enough about muslims to make a similar remark, however when you begin generalizing people you make really gross assumptions that arent necessarily true of all people.\n\nIn my opinion, education rules supreme above religion. I also think that everyone should have some kind of faith, and we should stop persecuting eachother for being different and having different beliefs.\n\nLove thy neighbor etc.\nLive and let live. etc etc

You are talking about two different religions, Islam and Christianity ... I know it's confusing, would be so nice if everyone could just accept the other for who they are and live together huh?

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.

You make an interesting point. I have made an exclusive study of the trinity in the Christian scriptures and found it to have a solid premise, albeit that particular word isn't in the bible, and neither is the concept directly addressed. I wouldn't attempt to go into it here - it's too much - and that wasn't your question. I know  little about the Hindu religion,  so I'm not really qualified to comment.  What I find interesting about your point - the trinity notwithstanding - is that Mary, the mother of Jesus is worshiped in some Christian religions, as some  pray to various saints as well. It does indeed sound like at least some Christians have more than one god. I think that's rather odd. But...I haven't answered your question. It's a bit tricky. If you were a Christian we could discuss it.

Sorry for butting in here I know the question was directed at Christians, I am not a religious person of any description, but just out of interest I have been reading the replies from the 'Christians'! Although I am not a Christian that doesn't mean that I know nothing about what being a Christian means! And most of the answers you have picked up here are complete rubbish.\nSo don't base your final assessment on the replies you have here .\nFirstly Allah is the title given to God by Muslims, they believe there is only one God.\nGod is the title applied by Christians they also believe there is only one God.\nJesus is believed in by Muslims as a great prophet, but not as the Son of God.\nJesus is believed in as God (as part of their Holy Trinity bit)by the Christians.\nAnd if any Christian has answered this question of yours differently then they are NOT Christians.\nBut deep down I think you know all this don't you? what are you up to??

No. It differs on the fact that Christianity has a faith different from the others.

absolutely not.  The "Christ" part is only for the christian religion.  There may be Muslims celebrating Christmas as a holiday, but not because they believe in Jesus.

I won't infect you with a derogatory statement when you are in fact asking a viable question. So I will answer it with the utmost honesty and research that I can provide. Unlike those who resort to rudeness such as those above, showing their imaturity and ignorance and unwillingness to learn.\n\n\nMuslims and Christians are the closest brothers in the Christian faith. Muslims have great respect for Christians  and love for them as brothers which share a faith which is comparable. Israel hates these Muslims as much as they hate Christians , that is why the Israel propaganda machine is in full swing to make Christians and Muslims hate one another for if they are able to work together as brothers in the same faith they are able to stop the evils of this earth together and the wars that are a daily occurance  in Israel, from Isreal and their hatred for  Muslims. Therefore their propaganda is to make Christians hate their Muslim brothers whose faith is  more closely binding and alike than that of Judaism and Christianity. Fact is, Muslims are blood brothers in Christ with Christians.\n\nYou may have heard this because Muslim history has proved that Jesus  was actually born under a  palm tree wereas Judeo influence into our Christian Bible says it was in a manger. However , Muslim history is older than Judeo history so it must be held at a higher value than the myths of Judeo history which have always been proven to been mythical and with much error.\nRead this excerpt from muslim history.\n\n"I first came across the idea of Christ as an object of Muslim devotion when I read that inscription quoting Jesus, son of Mary, on Whom be Peace, on the gateway at Fatehpur Sikri. Last month I came across a Mughal miniature, now on display in the British Library, which was probably painted within that city soon after the gateway had been built. It is a nativity scene, with Mary and the Christ child and wise men coming to offer gifts. But the wise men are Mughal courtiers, Mary is attended by a Mughal serving girls, and the Christ child and his mother are sitting under a palm tree. As this miniature shows, there are certainly major differences between the two faiths- not least the central fact, in mainstream Christianity, of Jesus' divinity. But Christmas the ultimate celebration of Christ,s humanity- is a feast which Muslims and Christians can share together without reservation. At this moment when the Christian West and Islamic East seem to be heading for another major confrontation,( Thanks to Israli propaganda ) there has never been a greater need for both sides to realise what they have in common and, as in this miniature, to gather around the Christ child, to pray for peace."\n\nREAD THE REST HERE:\nhttp://www.alhewar.com/a_christmas_palm_tree.htm\n\nThe remarks above are protected speech pursuant to the First Amendment of the United States Constitution as interpreted by the U.S. Supreme Court as follows: "Brandenburg v.
