1. Islam readily accepts that Jesus of Nazareth existed and that He was born of the virgin, Mary. Christians believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of the Living God, which as the Jews accused of old, makes Him equal to God.

2. Islam refutes the idea that Jesus Christ was crucified on the cross. For Christians, the death of Jesus Christ on the cross is the focal point of all that they believe. The only way for man to be reconciled to a Holy God is for the ultimate price to be paid. Christians believe that Jesus Christ paid the ultimate price by shedding His blood. Without that precious act, Christians remain hopeless and in sin. Muslims believe that the original New Testament, which they call Injil, was the original revelation that Jesus received from Allah. Christians hold that the Bible, including the Old and New Testaments is the infallible Word of God. They believe that God inspired the Scriptures; it is their only source of truth and instruction.
