Scriptures:
Christianity: The Bible (Old Testament and New Testament).
Islam: The Qur’an as the final, perfect revelation; earlier Scriptures (Torah, Psalms, Gospel) are respected but believed to be corrupted.
Final Authority:
Christianity: Authority rests in Scripture, interpreted through tradition, church teachings, or personal conscience (varies by denomination).
Islam: Authority comes from the Qur’an and Hadith (sayings/actions of Muhammad).
Muhammad:
Christianity: Muhammad is not recognized as a prophet.
Islam: Muhammad is the final prophet and the seal of prophecy.
God’s Relationship to Humanity:
Christianity: God is personal and relational, inviting believers into a father-child relationship.
Islam: God is merciful and just, but emphasizes servant-master relationship.
Afterlife:
Christianity: Heaven and Hell; eternal life depends on relationship with Christ.
Islam: Paradise (Jannah) and Hell (Jahannam); judgment based on faith and deeds.
Role of Law:
Christianity: Moral law fulfilled in Christ; emphasis on inner transformation.
Islam: Sharia law guides personal, social, and religious life (implementation varies widely).
Pruitt concluded his post by reiterating his position: “Which is true? Christianity is. Islam is not.”
