How is islam any worse than us

ok i am a christian, or was until my church said that muslims were going to burn in hell for serving the wrong lord and not believing in jesus. i have to disagree because they do believe in the one all powerful god. they were brought up differnt and view it differnt but still praise god. what makes us christians so special or so right as to believe our way of worship is the only right way?

I think that any religion that says that it is the true religion, and condems any other, is a religion thats full of s*h*it, therefore proving itself wrong. because if they cant prove that god exists then how can they even think of saying they are the one and only one thats getting anywhere.

heaven or otherwise.

still they don't believe in Jesus. Muslims hate both Christians and Jews for religious reasons. Muslim originally came from Ishmael and Jews from Isaac.

the one who answered yes tottally missed out on what faith really is all about.

You will know them by the love they have for each other.......

Must be a strict Christian denomination you're in there.

Most mainstream Christians (and most mainstream Muslims for that matter) don't condemn any other religions. It is the more extreme sects of these religions that begin to see theirs as the 'only' way.

Incidentally, the Koran mentions Allah's love for us something like 10 times more often than it mentions jihad or any sort of violence (at one point I knew the exact numbers but have forgotten). It's really a much more peaceful religion than popular conception would have us believe. It's just the extreme divisions of it that make the news, so our views are biased toward that outlook.

If your church blatently condemned Muslims, I'd run the other way. Or, even better, confront them and ask them to justify their claims and hopefully expand their minds a bit.

confront them and ask them to justify their claims

Yeah but that's on too large of a scale to work efficiently and sound like anything more than whiny skepticism...on an individual level it has much better results, at least in my experience.

induvidual level in a church, that must be with god then 😄

We do not lose our individuality just because we go to a church. We are not taught to condemn people but to love them. Through the love of God we can overcome many obstacles.

even that of love between same gender?

His talking about love as in respect, show compassion NOT SEXUAL love.

love between same gender doesnt have to be just a sexual love, they are just as respectful and compassionate as straight people

OKAY!!! It is not a romantic love He was talking about, so it should be applicable to any gender. HAPPY????

But the church looks down and feels sorry for them......pity pity pity.
