Christianity vs Islam (salvation, hell, doctrine, eternity, sin)

[bamarcci]

Anyone care to discuss Islam's fundamental opposition to Christianity? Just to begin, I believe the historical controversy between the two religions is centered theologically on the concept of God. I would most like to hear from someone of the Islamic faith.

Forgive me for my mispelling of Islam. I can not figure out how to go back and edit the title.

A major differences is the nature of God and how Muslims (incorrectly) view the Trinity.

A majority of Muslims believe that Christians believe in the Trinity as three different gods besides God: Father, Son and Mary. This is, as you know, incorrect, all Trinitarian Christians without a shadow of a doubt will say that their God is Father, Son and Holy Spirit - and they are one. Muslims cannot get their head around such a concept such as the Trinity.

Oh, and welcome to the forum, by the way

Couldn't I change your sentence to , " Anyone care to discuss Christianities fundamental opposition to ( insert a number of religions here ) ? And still be asking the same question?

[No*s]

I think you are starting something too big for a thread for two reasons:

1). Most Muslims and Christians do not understand much about what the other believes or their terminology. When we use words, we will just talk past each other. If we can't talk very easily, we can't very well debate very easily.

2). There's going to be a lot in this category. It's too broad for anyone to discuss coherently. Someone would speak about perichoresis, the next would ask what he meant and go on about works-based salvation, while the next would insist that the real issue at heart is $INSERT_DOCTRINE.

This can't possibly work.

The basis for all misinformation is the lies of Iblis (The Devil) which people mistake for the truth. Secondly there is the sin of pride which casues people to want to see their religion as better than other people's. There is one better of course but that is only understood by an objective comparison.

Christianity: Believe what we say or you will go to Hell for eternity.

Islam: Believe what we say or we kill you and your family.

I literally laughed out loud.
