Christianity vs. Islam

Christianity and Islam are two of the most significant religions since their creation. Islam means "submission" in Arabic, and a Muslim is one who submits to the will of God (Islam page 223). Christians were called so because of Jesus’ title Christos, which is Greek for Messiah (Christianity page 198). Both religions are very similar with only some of the beliefs and teachings being different. They also give separate messages to outsiders as to what their religions stand for. Both religions are monotheistic with a holy text and they both strive to conquer evil. Islam has a set of rules (5 Pillars of Islam) set forth to reach enlightenment while Christians basically just sin, repent, and then are forgiven for their sins. Christianity is a much easier religion to belong to because it is a lot more lenient to what you can and cannot do as well as when and where you can do it. Islam is also more closed doors because the do not really send out missionaries looking for people to convert to Islam.

For Christianity, Jesus of Nazareth was the Messiah (the anointed one) – God’s deliverer, whose coming the prophets had foretold (Christianity page 198). Jesus taught the good Word of the Lord, as was his duty


I personally think that Christianity is a much easier religion to deal with being that it has just about the same outcome as Islam does. Christianity also has a lot less work involved. I would say that Christianity is a much more convenient religion. Less time and effort is put into praying and being righteous with Christianity. Plus it is much more believable to me that Jesus was the Son of God than it is to believe that Mohammed was visited by an angel that told him what to do. They were both doing well although the Islamic message is not quiet as nice as the Christian one. Loving everyone as your brother and sister is a good message to give and it is an exceptional way to keep the world peaceful even if you are not Christian. That is why Christianity is a much more successful religion and it is stronger than Islam will ever be. Christianity and Islam are basically one in the same. They both have one God with and the same basic beliefs. Both have a holy text with the teachings of their prophets along with some religious stories. Both religions are very successful although Christianity has a leg up do to its convenience and its willingness to take others and convert them. These religions have been around for almost two thousand years and will continue to strive throughout history.

as the Son of God. He is also said to have performed miracles such as curing leprosy and blindness as well walking on water. Roman and Jewish authorities were disquieted by the threat to the establishment that Jesus and his followers seemed to offer, and they conspired successfully to execute him by crucifixion (Christianity page 198). After Jesus was crucified for the sins of all men, he was believed by Christians to have risen from the dead and then ascended to Heaven. After the death of Jesus, his life and teachings were written with many "tall tales" (as I like to call them) about the great battles and accomplishments of Christians as well as success stories about the followers of Gods’ Word. All of these stories and some historical facts are written in the Bible, which is the holy text of the Christians. It explains how God created the Earth the creation of the Earth and man and it teaches how to be righteous.

Christianity is a very appealing religion because it seems to be so easy to understand and become a Christian where as Islam is very difficult. There are five set times a
