Christians VS Other Religions?

And Muslims are praying for you to find the truth and find the one true God (Allah), and abandon your false religion so they can be saved. Nobody knows who is correct until judgement day.

I don't believe that Muslims do pray for Christians to find the truth as they see it. As a Christian I don't understand how you can make the statement that "nobody knows who is correct until judgement day". As Christians we believe that Christ is the Son of God, the one true God. I've never heard any Christian suggest that we have to wait until judgement day to find out if we're right.

He is the Savior.

Not "us".

People who are Christian do not believe in a Muhammad "TRICKSTER"
The word "Islam" has been falsely proclaimed by Muslims to mean peace. The word Islam, actually means "submission" to the Muslim god of intolerance and hatred. It comes from the root Arabic word "taslim". In Arabic, the word for peace is only "solh".
As you will see below, Muhammad posed as an apostle of God. Yet his life is filled with lustfulness (12 marriages and sex with a child, slaves and concubines), rapes, warfare, conquests, and unmerciful butcheries. The infinitely good, just and all holy God simply cannot tolerate anything in the least unjust or sinful. What Muhammad produced in the Qur'an is simply a book of gibberish consisting of later evil verses abrogating (superseding) earlier peaceful verses. These verses in Arabic poetically "tickle" the ears of Arab listeners. Islam is a caustic blend of paganism and twisted Bible stories. Muhammad, its lone "prophet", who made no prophecies, conceived his religion to satiate his lust for power, sex, and money. He was a terrorist. And if you think these conclusions are shocking, wait until you see the evidence mostly from Islamic historians below. 70% of what is here is from Muslim and ex-Muslim historians - back to the 8th century and the Qur'an itself.
Fight and slay the pagans wherever you find them, and seize them, beleaguer them, and lie in wait for them in every stratagem.
- Chop off their hands and chop off their fingertips - When you meet the unbelievers, chop off their heads - Fight and slay those who don't convert wherever you find them - Believers, take neither Jew nor Christians for your friends - Those who follow Muhammad are ruthless to unbelievers - Those who reject Islam are "the vilest of creatures" and thus deserve no mercy - Fight them until Islam reigns supreme (throughout the world)
They sold their birthright: Genesis 25:32 “Look, I am about to die,” Esau said. “What good is the birthright to me?”
34 Then Jacob gave Esau some bread and some lentil stew. He ate and drank, and then got up and left. So Esau despised his birthright.
Jeremiah 49:8 Turn and flee, hide in deep caves, you who live in Dedan, for I will bring disaster on Esau at the time when I punish him.
There is only One King Isa 5:24 Therefore as the fire devoureth the stubble, and the flame consumeth the chaff, so their root shall be as rottenness, and their blossom shall go up as dust: because they have cast away the law of the LORD of hosts, and despised the word of the Holy One of Israel.
Obadiah 1:18 Jacob will be a fire and Joseph a flame; Esau will be stubble, and they will set him on fire and destroy him. There will be no survivors from Esau.” The Lord has spoken.
Malachi 1:3 but Esau I have hated, and I have turned his hill country into a wasteland and left his inheritance to the desert jackals.”
Romans 9:13 Just as it is written: “Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated.”
Hebrews 12:16 See that no one is sexually immoral, or is godless like Esau, who for a single meal sold his inheritance rights as the oldest son.
And the word for a satan is 2Co 11:14 And no marvel; for the TRICKSTER himself is transformed into a messenger of light.
The god of Muslims is revealed as a tyrant who demands Muslims and all others submit to him. Whereas in the New Testament, Jesus revealed to Christians a God who is a loving Father, who wants us to come to Him via free will. In the Old Testament (Exodus 34:6) the real God revealed Himself as "merciful and gracious, longsuffering, and abundant in goodness and truth". He is the Creator of the Universe, the God of Love, and Lord of Life. The God of Israel is this true God. He insists "Thou shall not kill the innocent and just".
When a Muslim declares that Islam is a religion of peace, he/she is either ignorant of the Koran (Qur'an), or is deceitfully thinking of this "peace", as it extends only to those within the Muslim Community.

John 14:6. Says it all.

I have heard from a number of sources that the Qu'ran says that it is acceptable for Muslims to lie to non believers. It also teaches that they should live in peace when they are outnumbered in a land. Once their numbers are sufficient they are called to commit terrorist acts. And when they have superior numbers they are required to take the land by force and make it an Islamic state. They are called the three stages of jihad.

As a follower of Christ, I don't think you should judge someone else's faith. Who are you?

As a true Christian, it is my obligation to share the truth. I am not judging, just sharing. There is only one way to the Father and that is through the Son. Allah is not the Father, not the Creator; Allah is a false man-made god of a false, man-made religion.

I am a believer in Jesus Christ, that's who I am.

Yeah.. makes you wonder whats up with "believers". Well we spend WAY to much time talking debating arguing with each other that we dont talk about the other 4200 other Religions out there.

Do protestants and catholics worship the same God? How about Jews? How many differences in beliefs about God make him a different God?

"Sing unto God, sing praises to his name: extol him that rideth upon the heavens by his name JAH, and rejoice before him." Psalms 68:4

When God took the tower of Babel's communication apart, He saved one word for all the languages: hallelujah. Praise ye the LORD! In King James bible JAH is only once. The Jews thought if the scribe made the letter wrong for JAH that they were taking the name of the LORD in vain, so they only put it once in Psalms and replace it elsewhere with LORD and the King James interpreters made it known by capitalize LORD where JAH was.

JAH means the Lord, most vehement. The LORD is very strong and passionate about being LORD.

When He made covenant with Abram and Sarai, they took on His name and became Abraham and Sarah. Jehovah means The existing one JAH hovah...Jesus, Yahshua, God with us...many names have the JAH sound of H in them referring to the LORD. When Adam, made out of the dirt, received life from the breath of God, he breathed H, the name of the the LORD. Our very breath says the name of God. When Jesus was on the cross and he commend his spirit into the Father's hands, he gave up the ghost. The breath belongs to God and it makes us a living soul.

When a Muslim said we have the same God, I said, Hallelujah! He said we do not say that...why? Because we do not have the same God!

Baal means the lord...Elijah said, "How long halt ye between two opinions? if the LORD be God, follow him: but if Baal, then follow him." If JAH be LORD or Baal be lord...Baal means lord, deceiving the Israelites. Allah means the god when there is only one true living God. My opinion is that Allah is the moon god that Muhammad worshiped and made himself a "prophet" that never prophesied and never knew the real God. The devil taught him how to kill and hate and write it down for others to be slaves to this false religion.

In the bible are prophesies that came true many years before it happen...Jesus fulfilled so many that the odds of it happening shows me God inspired the Bible with many prophets, not one false prophet.

Now that I am retired, I indulge my passion for reading, at least one book every week. This year I decided to inform myself about Islam and I found that one of the best sources for this was books written by people who were muslims and converted to christianity.

Their stories show you what true Islam is and what true Christianity is as they have to go through severe persecution because of their decision to leave Islam. In one book I read, a young man in his early 20's converted to christianity and despite intense anger from his family and death threats he remained faithful to his belief in God.

He started up a christian ministry with a couple of other friends who had converted from Islam which showed you how brave he was as he was rubbing salt into his family wound.

They came for him one night and carved him to pieces whilst he was still alive.

Islam a religion of peace? Not on your life.

When I was in Catholic Sunday School, they had a Muslim guest come in, and he told us that their God is the same as ours. I totally believed it, to the point that I repeated this false teaching during my early years posting on this site.

Thank the lord that I now have a firm understanding of the Holy Trinity.

It can be useful to learn about other religions--I've listened to two audiobooks about Christianity & Islam. However, we get our nourishment from the Bible.

I do not agree with Jesus verses anything. The acknowledgement of Jesus is in that name enough to superscede religion or advisory. When you acknowledge Jesus you recognise the only hope that humankind has for eternal life. Once you acknowledge Jesus that is all you need because Truth is eternal, and Christianity is about the resurrection and eternal life through Jesus. I have received the Holy Spirit to witness to any one who seeks to know that what I said is true, and my experience, and yours also it is free from God our creator

All these Scriptures are spoken by the Holy Spirit. What do you think they mean?

"Don't you know that having brotherly love with the world is HATING God?" James 4:4

"If anyone has no love for the Lord, let him be accursed. Our Lord, come!" 1 Corinthians 16:22

"Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers. For what partnership has righteousness with lawlessness? Or what fellowship has light with darkness?" 2 Corinthians 6:14

“Truly, truly, I say to you, he who does not enter the sheepfold by the door but climbs in by another way, that man is a thief and a robber." John 10:1

"If I say to the wicked, ‘You shall surely die,’ and you give him no warning, nor speak to warn the wicked from his wicked way, in order to save his life, that wicked person shall die for his iniquity, but his blood I will require at your hand." Ezekiel 3:18

Matthew 16:27 For the Son of Man will come in the glory of His Father with His angels, and THEN He will reward each according to his works.
We must first recognize that our works must first be energized by Christ. Colossians 1:29 To this end I strenuously contend with all the energy Christ so powerfully works in me. Why is that true? Philippians 2:13 for it is God who works in you to will and to act in order to fulfill his good purpose. Therefore you must first be chosen and then accept the calling. Ephesians 1:11 In him we were also chosen, having been predestined according to the plan of him who works out everything in conformity with the purpose of his will,...Galatians 3:5 So again I ask, does God give you his Spirit and work miracles among you by the works of the law, or by your believing what you heard?
Romans 4:4 Now to the one who works, wages are not credited as a gift but as an obligation.
Romans 8:28 And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. So keep in mind always Matthew 22:14 “For many are invited, but few are chosen.”
Matthew 11:27 “All things have been committed to me by my Father. No one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal him. And last, but not least, John 15:16 You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you so that you might go and bear fruit—fruit that will last—and so that whatever you ask in my name the Father will give you.
