What is the distinction between Islam and Christianity?
I’ve heard throughout my life as being a Muslim that there have been lot’s of distinctions between Islam and Christianity. What are those distinctions? What do the Muslims believe? What do the Christians believe?
There are lots.
Read the Bible for yourself and then you’ll know.

Muslims carry out terrorist activities and blame all the worlds problems on the west, USA or Israel
Islam tries to force people to convert to their religion which is just…assholish
Not much really.
Christians believe that Jesus is the Son of God, and that salvation is only through Him.
Muslims think he is a Prophet of God, and we don’t have the concept of someone dying for our sins.
Christians believe in the Trinity, but Muslims believe that God is One.
Christians follow the Bible, Muslims consider the Bible to have been changed.
The Christian Holy Day is Sunday, while for Muslims it’s Friday.
Christians believe the Jesus died on the cross, was resurrected three days later and ascended into heaven.
Muslims don’t believe he died on the cross, that he ascended without dying.
Muslims believe that Judgement takes place on Judgement Day, while Christians believe it happens right after death.
Christians believe in Original Sin, and the only way to purify someone is through baptism. Muslims believe that a person is born pure and free of sin.
Prophets have a higher status in Islam that in Christianity.
Jihad for starters
Only the names have changed
There are actually more similarities than differences
Christians think God is a trinity. Muslims think God is a unity. Christians think Jesus died for sins and rose from the dead. Muslims don’t think Jesus died on the cross at all. Muslims think Muhammad is a prophet. Christians think Muhammad is not a prophet.
Islam leads to hell. Islam rejects the truth that Jesus is God (so Islam has a different and fake “god” that cannot save) and Islam rejects the truth that Jesus died on the cross for our sins and then rose from the dead.
Jesus is God, and Jesus loves you so very much!
The truth about Jesus is that the only way to be saved and to get into heaven and avoid being sent to eternal hell, is by believing in faith alone that Jesus, who is God, died on the cross for our sins as FULL PAYMENT for all our sins, and then Jesus rose from the dead (1 Corinthians 15:1-4). Believe in Jesus alone for salvation, and you will be in heaven, no matter what! Salvation is a FREE GIFT that happens in a split second when you believe in Jesus alone to save you! It is impossible to lose or “leave” salvation (John 6:39-40, John 10:28, 1 John 5:13).
There are actually so many similarities that some historians believe Islam started as a Christian movement. The very fact that Muslims have such a high regard for Jesus may be a hint to this. It has to be understood that not all Christians throughout history believed Jesus was divine. Many believed he was a prophet as do the Muslims. Another belief that is the same is hell. Hell is only found in two religions, Christianity and Islam. The Jews do not even believe in it. The Muslims also believe in Jesus’ virgin birth as do Christians. But the one thing that is telling of all the similarities is the fact that Islam, as does Christianity, teaches Jesus is the messiah. God Bless! +?+
Who Jesus is (a prophet inferior to muhammad vs. God)
Who Muhammad was (a prophet vs. a false prophet)
The Bible (the parts muslims don’t like were altered vs. the word of God)
The quran (the word of God vs. the teachings of a false religion
To name probably the top 4.
b4 anyone starts saying things like Jihad, remember the Crusades .
Jihad is always taken the wrong way by non-muslims and muslims.
Its meanings are being a charitable person, saving someone, providing shelter and helping out in the name of Allah.
Christ came to the world to reveal the love of God to mankind.
Mohamed came from his own, so he distorted this image of God.
peace
The Christians who have answered thus far have omitted what I consider a very important distinction: muslims believe that God can have no sons or daughters, thus they don’t believe that Jesus is God’s Son. Similarly, God’s word, the bible, tells us that, after the resurrection, the elect will become God’s adopted sons and daughters and His heirs. That’s one of the most important promises in the entire bible. Needless to say, the muslims don’t believe in that promise.
One is right the other is wrong. And, if Christianity is right that must mean that Islam is…………
