Differences in Islam and Christianity


 

Islam presents many difference doctrines.  One of the chief beliefs is that if you obey Muhammad’s translation of Allah, and convert you will be saved.  (Woh 276)  Another teaching I noticed was that your boss is responsible for your sins, if you sin while obeying him.  (WoH 90)  On the other hand if you sin of your own free will you are guilty.  (WoH 263)

            The religion of Islam resembles Christianity, except for the fact that they consider Jesus to be a prophet, where as Christians worship Jesus as God’s son.  Muslims also believe that Muhammad was the main prophet, but Christians don’t believe he was a prophet.

I believe that the differences are more important, because that is what defines the individual religions.  They share so many common factors, such as founding, heritage, and early beliefs, that with out the distinction you would have one religion.
