What about Islam?
Muslims honor Jesus as a great prophet. Christians agree on a lot, and differ on what matters most.
- One GodCreator of everything
- Born of a virginQuran 19:20 to 21
- The MessiahQuran 3:45
- Did miraclesQuran 5:110
Where we agree
The Quran says a lot about Jesus. It calls Him the Messiah and says He was born of a virgin and healed the sick.
Where we differ
These are not small differences. Both can't be true.
Who was closer?
Paul's letters and the Gospels, and the Roman historian Tacitus, all say Jesus died on a cross. They were written within decades of the event. The Quran came about 600 years later.
- The Quran calls the Gospel a revelation from God (Quran 5:46).
- We have full Gospel copies from 250 years before Muhammad.
- They say Jesus died and rose again.
A question worth asking
Many Muslims say the Bible was changed. But the copies from before Islam say the same thing ours do.
Islam and Christianity both honor Jesus, but they can't both be right about the cross. The earliest sources say He died and rose.
He who has the Son has the life. He who doesn’t have God’s Son doesn’t have the life.
