Comparison of Islam and Christianity
ISLAM
- Allah
- Hates sinners
- Can’t know if you are going to eternal reward
- Christians are infidel
- The way to know is to die in battle facing the enemy/if they run from the battle they will die and go to gehenna
- No Savior
- Religion
- Man reaching up to God
CHRISTIANITY
- God
- Loves sinners
- Can know as a settled fact and peace that we will go to heaven
- Christians are His faithful
- The way to know is to be freed in the battle by a Savior who died and took our punishment
- Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ
- Relationship with the One True God
- God reaching down to man
