ANSWERING ISLAM
Welcome to these pages where Christians answer to the challenges of Islam.
Christianity and Islam are the most prominent religions, meaning, these two religions are the two who have the highest number of members as well as the fact that they are the only ones among the great world religions which have the God-given command to to spread their message to all people (and they indeed act on it).
Because of this, there is automatically a 'competition' between Islam and Christianity, which does not arise in the same way between Islam and Judaism or Christianity and Buddhism for example.
Judaism, Christianity and Islam, the three mono-theistic religions do share a common heritage and at least at first sight seem to have many similarities. But in important aspects they are also very different.
In the dialog with Muslims over the last few years, I have discovered that most of them are severely misinformed about the Christian faith, about the contents of the Bible and about the historic development of the Christian and Jewish Holy Scriptures. Most of these misconceptions are just pure ignorance because nobody has ever told them otherwise. They merely have never been exposed to true Christian teaching. Another part is due to deliberate distortions of the Christian faith, the Biblical message and Christian history by several Muslim writers, speakers or propagandists.
But these misunderstandings are not a OneWay street. Many Christians know very little about Islam as well. These pages are created with the goal to help both sides to a better mutual understanding of our respective faiths.
Obviously I am creating and maintaining these pages on the basis of my conviction that authentic Christianity is the true faith, and though I myself am certainly subject to misinterpreting the Bible and do not claim that all my opinions are the pure unadulterated truth, I do firmly believe that the Bible as it is today is the true uncorrupted Word of God and basis for all truth, especially in regard to the nature, character and deeds .
