Heavyweight Matchup

Christianity vs Islam

Toe to toe for 12 rounds in the ring.

Kidding. But I did find an interesting article online comparing the two massive faiths and how they parallel and differ from one another.

Check it out here.

In summary, the main five points of the article are as follows.

1.) Christ's Kingdom was NOT of this world, and Mohammed's was.

2.) The Bible is vastly different than the Koran.

3.) Jesus is very different than Mohammed.

4.) Jesus teaches us to call God "Father," Mohammed would never do that.

5.) Christianity Teaches that God is love, Islam teaches that God is justice.

All these points seem pretty basic, but the article does a much better job of going into depth with each point. In my opinion, the final point is the one that really seems the most important and stands out to me. Love can be interpreted in so many ways, but justice even more so. It really kinda makes me understand how some radicals can rationalize horrific acts of violence in the name of their God.
