Please note :The Muslims do not love themselves ; for how can there be love when there is no peace . Secondly , the Christians you mentioned are only churchgoers; they are not true bible-believing Christians.

Bro, when it comes to helping people as regards jobs and others the muslims are doing it with passion but we christians find it difficult to help a fellow that is down with all the requirement. We pretend a lot.

Not true sir . And like I said earlier , the ones you encountered are not bible-believing Christians ; they are just hypocrites masquerading as Christians.

let us start from you. When last did you show genuine Christian love (or what you believe to be Christian love) to anyone outside your family or circle of influence?

Just as there are Christians who go to bars/beerparlors, keep girl/boyfriends, lie, steal, smoke, join cult, watch pornography.

LOVE is of God. And if a Christian is full of the spirit he will definitely have love for everyone, anywhere. But hate for sin. It depends on the church you are going.

Muslims have money. Especially Arabs, they will definitely help out of their abundance.

During my university days, we had so many christian fellowships with some members beefing each other. There was only one muslim fellowship. During the start of the academic year, the mosque was always opened for students who have not gotten accommodation to stay, but the chapel is always under lock and key.

Hi.

I am a Christian too, that is, I believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, God Who became Man as well so that He could die for our sins and save us from the Lake of Fire which is the Second Death, and I am committed to following Him according to the Bible.

First, you are right, of course, that many Christians - whether they only pretend to be Christians or they are actually Christians - are not very loving people. That is because (and here I answer your question) Christian behavior is not automatic. That is, naming yourself a Christian or actually deciding to believe in the Lord Jesus does not automatically change our behavior. Our attitude to life and to other people only changes as we make the deliberate effort to learn the Bible correctly from gifted and prepared Bible teachers and believe what we learn and apply it to our lives. This is how we change. When Christians don't do this - as the vast majority since this Laodicean age that began in the late 19th century has been increasingly averse to doing - well, it is hard to see a meaningful difference between their behavior and that of narcissistic unbelievers. In fact, you may even find better behaved unbelievers than such Christians, as you have observed here.

That brings me to the question of Muslims. Just like any other human being, each Muslim possesses a free will and can decide how to behave in spite of which God they choose to recognize. This too is why you can find a very nice atheist whose only apparent fault is that they don't believe in Jesus Christ. We can each of us decide how we want to act in each situation we find ourselves. So, if a group of Muslims decide that they want to be kind to other Muslims, then they will be. As for how they can possibly know to be kind without being Christians, not only does everyone, no matter what they choose to believe, possess a free will, but we also each possess a conscience that tells us right from wrong. This is what makes it possible for us to choose to do good rather than evil whenever we do.

That is all to say that being a Christian does not directly translate into being a good person, not without the requisite work involved, and being an unbeliever of any shade does not translate into being a bad person, not unless the person chooses to be.

I realize that that does raise the question, for some people, of why salvation is important if people can be good without Christ. The answer is short and simple: nobody can ever be perfect. We are all sinners, even if some of us are better than others. For this reason, God will not judge us merely by our behavior. Only those who believe in Jesus Christ and persevere in that faith until the end of their lives will be saved no matter what their behavior is because Jesus Christ has paid for all their sins. Only those who reject or fail to accept faith in Jesus Christ and persist in doing so until the end of their lives will be condemned no matter what their behavior is.

That does not mean at all that our behavior is not unimportant. Christians who behave poorly not only risk losing their faith because sin opposes faith, but they also risk losing rewards and being rebuked severely by the Lord Jesus at His Judgment Seat on the Day that He judges believers. That is not to mention the discipline that the Lord pours upon sinning believers while they are still alive on earth - He does not take sin lightly at all, and even kills believers for sinning recklessly.

As for unbelievers, when He judges them at the end of time on the Great White Throne, the Lord Jesus will acknowledge all their good behavior because He is fair (see Matthew 11:20-24, for example), but that won't save a single one of them from the Lake of Fire. Sin is rebellion against God and that rebellion is expressed in thought, word and deed. Even one thought alone of such stain condemns the sinner to the Lake of Fire. No amount of good behavior before or after such a stain will ever be sufficient to make up for it. Only the Sacrifice that the Lord Jesus made is. So, if anyone is unwilling to accept that Sacrifice in their behalf, they are eternally doomed.

Second, Islam is more than just a charitable religion. It is an enterprise for global domination. It was therefore designed to win subjects either by being nice to them or by threatening them, if niceness does not work. The Islam we have today is the descendant of one that suffered a lot of military defeats and in-fighting that essentially forced it to change its default approach to gaining territory. Islam is violent and oppressive by nature. It is only when it lacks the power to subjugate people - as it currently does - that it plays nice. As we speak, however, it is building back its military and political clout - not least through its niceness, especially for political clout - and will very soon relaunch its quest for global dominion under the Mahdi. At that time, its nature will become apparent again, but it may be too late then for those who were deceived by its current nice façade to realize that violence and oppression are not only normal to Islam but are really its only true colors. They may look for the niceness to return after the violence and oppression only to see it never return.

Furthermore, the most war-torn regions of the world today are Islamic. It is Saudi Arabia that is pounding poverty-ridden Yemen to the dust right now. Syria has been in a vicious civil war the likes of which have probably never been seen before, considering the use of chemical weapons by the government against citizens. Afghanistan and Iraq may be blamed on the US but the Taliban were not particularly nice to their people in Afghanistan and Saddam Hussein was a despot. Consider also the refugees who fled from Syria and were for the most part ignored or denied refuge in other Islamic havens except for Turkey, Lebanon, and Jordan. It takes a desire to hate the Truth to deny that Islam is not everything you have claimed here that it is.

I hope this helps. Feel free to ask for clarification anywhere you need it.

The worst hypocrites are christians and catholics are the champions of hypocrisy. I know first hand that Muslims love themselves more than christians and during job interviews, many Muslim bosses hire Muslim workers. Though there are bad eggs but they are better towards one another.

Christians manipulate, scam, steal and betray each other but some how you see them lifting their hands in worship during church service as if they are holy and are serious about the faith. Forget about the christian label, don't put down your guard because someone calls himself a christian. In many cases, the label and outlook is used deliberately as a cover for something sinister on the inside. grin
