Religions compared

Jesus in the Gospels, Jesus in the Qur’an

Same name. Different man. One dies and rises. The other is rescued from the cross. They cannot both be reporting the same weekend.

The Apologist

Islam honors Jesus as a prophet and denies the crucifixion. Christianity stands or falls on the crucifixion. This is not a scheduling conflict. It is two different gospels.

If someone posts that Muhammad split the moon, a Muslim should correct a sloppy claim about his own book. The same courtesy applies in reverse: do not baptize Islamic Jesus and call it interfaith peace.

Respect is telling the truth about the disagreement. The earliest Christian creed is “Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures.” Take the cross out and you do not have a milder Christianity. You have a different religion.

Read both. Compare the sources. Then decide which Jesus walked out of the tomb, or which one never entered it.
