After that both of them seem to have the same expectation of righteous living. Islam as a way to prove one's self and earn Allah favor, and Christianity as a response in gratitude for God's unmerited favor which one could never be good enough to earn. |
Once again with all due respect but I still don't think the Irony is funny either, Once again its quite a serious issue and one that deserves a serious view. According to our beliefs this is what could determine our salvation. Islam tells us we must work hard to earn our salvation while in contrast Christianity teaches that salvation will come purely by the belief that Jesus (PBUH) died for our sins. Hence why christianity has no issue in Alcohol abuse, Illegal Sexual intercourse, Free mixing of the sexes etc etc which runs quite freely in the society of the christian world without much courses of action to reverse it. This is what is corrupt and its the idealogy that is causing the minds of the human population that reside in these societies to be corrupt.
