Christianity

• Holy Book : BIBLE

• Monotheistic

• We believe in Trinity

• Christianity is testable, it is about a human being who is God, who lived in a certain place, performed miracles, and has many witnesses.

• Christianity has grace unlike Islam or every other religion. (John 6 - "You must believe in Me") It is a free gift given by merciful God.

• Jesus at the center! Of all religious figures He is the only one who claimed to be God and backed it up with evidence. ( Ressurection) Almost all religions want to claim Jesus to themselves.

Islam

• Holy Book : QUARAN

• Their God: Allah

• Islam was founded in the 7th century by Prophet Mohammed, who received revelation from God through the angel Gabriel.

• Mecca is the place where Mohammed established Islam as the dominant religion.

• Muslims belive that God sent them prophets and messengers such as Adam, Noah, Moses, Jesus, and Muhammad.

• The five Pillars of Islam are the declaration of faith, prayer, charity, fasting, and pilgrimage to Mecca.
