Well .. I guess you can look at it that way .. except that the God I serve doesn't demand that you serve him too, and HE doesn't demand that you kill people as a way to heaven. Since HE created you and gave you free will - HE already knows that you can make a choice not to serve HIM.
Muslims serve their god out of FEAR - I serve my God out of love for the sacrifice He has already made for me.
God says that HIS reward is eternity with HIM in heaven - but the muslims are promised virgins in paradise - a promise which rewards them in death with those things they are denied (as being sinful) in life.
Muslims do not believe they have "free will" - but as a human being they were created that way. People have to understand that from the time these people are born - they are constantly indoctrinated with the Koran's message of hate and death.
So .. WE ARE AT OPPOSITE ENDS OF THE MESSAGE .. I believe in life and they believe in death. Even Osama said that very statement. He believes that because they embrace death they have the better message. They're wrong.
God is love, and God is life. The god the muslims call "Allah" is a false god based on false promises and NO HOPE. Their future is to die - our future is to live and make life better for ourselves and others.
The reason you think we're the same is that you've never studied either. Do some homework before you try to tell a Christian they're not a Christian or that we're the same as the muslims. That's very ignorant!
Your rant just proves my point.....nothing of substance...just your thoughts and belief's.....as for me doing my homework....how is it you are so knowledgeable about what it is I know or don't know? I do know one thing....when people call other people ignorant...that in all likelihood is a reflection on their inadequacy to reply logically with a well thought out reply and at the least a very stupid statement!!
The major problem with muslims is the nature of sin. For them, man is born free of sin. Sin happens as a person learns pride and rebellion which teaches them, against their nature, sin. The Christian, however, believes that man is born with a sinful nature and, only through the sacrifice of Christ, sin has been wiped clean for all of mankind. A person cannot save himself. The Muslim believes he can atone for his sin through a sincere request for forgiveness from Allah and good deeds. The major problem comes with the idea that such forgiveness is never a sure thing. For the Christian, forgiveness is a sure thing due to a sacrifice of Christ. The only requirement is to believe in Jesus Christ. For the Muslim, salvation is no sure thing. All is up to Allah and one cannot be sure that Allah is ever satisfied with ones deeds. There is nothing that one can do that is good enough. God is seen as a God of wrath and not as a God of love. Because of that, there is no hope that ones deeds are good enough and will outweigh ones bad deeds. There is only fear that one will do something that will incur Allah's wrath. Such a religion calls for self-righteosness and salvation by works. There is only one sure thing that a Muslim can do to guarantee salvation: in a jihad (holy war) one dies for Allah.
One thing is for sure, there can be no compromise between Christianity and Islam. If the Bible is the true word of God, Islam is that false word and, as such, is a false religion.
