The controversy about the personality of Jesus Christ is the major
difference between Islam and Christianity. This difference keeps the
followers of the two religions apart. Muslims look at Jesus Christ as a
great Prophet of God and love and respect him as much as they love and
respect Abraham, Moses and Muhammad. Christians on the other hand
consider Jesus as God or son of God, a concept that Muslims cannot
accept. Islam teaches that Jesus never made such a claim for himself. As
a matter of fact all the cardinal doctrines of Christianity that are
rejected by Islam centeraround the personality of Jesus. Specifically
these are: The Trinity, The Divinity of Jesus, The Divine Sonship of
Christ, Original Sin, and Atonement.
It is clear that all these dogmas are the
result of over-exhalting Jesus Christ above what God wants him to be.
These differences focusing on the personality of Jesus have overshadowed
the many similarities between Christianity and Islam.
