A Quick Synopsis of Islam Beliefs

Click on the poster for larger text.


I'm not an expert but here are some of the differences between Christianity and Islam as I understand them.
  • Christians believe in 3 persons in 1 God - Islam believe God is indivisable
  • Christians believe Jesus is the son of God - Islam reveres Jesus as a prophet
  • Christians believe are are born with sin - Islam believes babies are born in a pure state
  • Both religions believe in the virgin birth of Jesus
  • Both religions believe Jesus ascended into heaven
  • Both religions believe in the Golden Rule
  • Both religions believe in the existance of heaven and hell
  • Both religions believe in confessing sins to God
  • Both religions believe their holy books are the inerrant word of God

Obviously there are many, many differences but it seems better to focus on some of the similarities.
