Comparison between Christianity and IslamThis information is from the book So What's the Difference? by Fritz Ridenour. I encourage those seeking more information about cults and other religions to read this book so you may understand why Orthodox Christianity is true and the others are not. | |
| Christianity | Islam |
One God is revealed in Scripture as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Within the one "essence" of the Godhead there are three persons who are co-equally and co-eternally God (Matthew 3:13-17; 28:19; 2 Corinthians 13:14). |
There is no God but Allah--the God. |
|
Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, one with the Father, sinless redeemer of sinful man through His vicarious death on the cross and resurrection from the dead (John 1:13, 14; Hebrews 4:15; 1 Peter 3:18; 1 Corinthians 15:3). |
Jesus Christ was only a man, a prophet equal to Adam, Noah, Abraham and Moses, all of whom are below Muhammed in importance. Christ did not die for man's sins; in fact Judas, not Jesus, died on the cross. |
|
Sin is proud, independent rebellion against God in active or passive form (Romans 1:18-23; 3:10, 23). |
Sin is failure to do Allah's will, failure to do one's religious duties as outlined in the "Five Pillars of the Faith." |
|
Christ--God's Son--died for our sins (on the cross) according to the inspired Word of God (1 Corithians 15:3, 4). |
Man earns his own salvation, pays for his own sins. |
|
Believe and confess the Lord Jesus Christ and that God raised Him from the dead and you will be saved. (Romans 10:9-13). |
One guaranteed way (according to the testimony of Rick Mathes) is to kill infidels (anyone who is not a Muslim). This is taught in the Qu'ran. |
