When He decides on a matter He just says to it ‘‘Be!

When He decides on a matter He just says to it ‘‘Be!’’ and it is — He will teach him the Book and wisdom, the Torah and the Evangel — and [he will be] an apostle to the Children of Israel, [and he will declare,] “I have certainly brought you a sign from your Lord: I will create for you the form of a bird out of clay, then I will breathe into it, and it will become a bird by Allah’s leave. I heal the blind and the leper and I revive the dead by Allah’s leave.

I will tell you what you have eaten and what you have stored in your houses. There is indeed a sign in that for you, should you be faithful. Chapter No.2 verse 87 says: Certainly, We gave Moses the Book and followed him with the apostles, and We gave Jesus, the son of Mary, manifest proofs and confirmed him with the Holy Spirit.

Is it not that whenever an apostle brought you that which was not to your liking, you would act arrogantly; so you would impugn a group [of them], and slay a[nother] group? From the above quoted Qur’anic verses it can be seen that most of the beliefs of Muslims are similar to that of Christians.

For example, Christians also believe that Jesus is the Messiah; That he is the son of Mary; That Mary was a virgin when she conceived him; That Jesus did not have a Biological father; That he is in heaven; That he was a prophet of God; That he performed miracles and he is coming again; That he is alive; That Mary was a Holy woman. Where Muslims differ from Christians, are those same differences that are among Christian sects also.

For example, Muslims don’t believe in the Trinity, Jehovah’s Witnesses also don’t believe in the Trinity whereas the Catholics and other Protestants believe in it; Muslims don’t believe that Jesus is God, Jehovah’s Witnesses also say that Jesus is not God but just a son of God whereas Catholics and other Protestants believe him to be God.

The one big difference between Muslims and Christians is the death of Jesus but that does not make them disbelieve about the actual existence of Jesus which is the central theme of Christianity. About the death of Jesus Christ intellectual discussions can still be held to clarify the matter on both sides.
