why this clash?

I'd rather be a Christian confused about the Trinity than a non-confused Muslim killing infidels in the name of Allah so I can have my way with 40 virgins in the afterlife! Remenber 911?

Even in our confused state we Christians are doing more to save lives and improve poverty stricken nations than are Muslims.

"A tree is known by it's fruit." - Jesus Christ

Not everyone who claims to be a Christian is really a Christian. A true Christian is someone who believes that Jesus is God.

Most Christians believe in the Trinity. The Trinity does not mean that we worship three gods. It means that we worship ONE God who has three parts. One of those parts is Jesus. The word "Trinity" is never used in the Bible, but the concept is clearly taught. Sometimes we have a hard time explaining it, because God is so great He is hard to understand at times.

Worshipping Mary is a sin. God commands that there should be no other gods/goddesses before Him.

Slight correction. No Christian views Mary as a goddess. She is seen by Catholics as divine because God chose her to be the mother of Jesus because she was worthy.

The term Christian implies that a person is a follower of Christ as a risen savior, not as a prophet.

Islam is clear that their prophet was human, not the son of god because he couldn't come close to fulfilling the prophesies handed down in the Old Testament. To bring about a new religion, he couldn't pass himself off as the messiah but as a prophet.

Islam is the late comer and took what they wished from Judaism and Christianity.

Actually, it's not a clash, it's a lack of coordination.

The Muslims have this little thing called the First Pillar of Islam. The Shahada - Testifying. It amounts to the following statement:

"I testify that there is no God but God, and I testify that Muhammad is the messenger of God."

If you don't hold to that, you're not a Muslim. Simple as that.

Christians with their direct personal relationship to God unmediated by any sort of controlling factor don't have any equivalent rule, which allows it to shed factions like dandruff. Hey, even with the Shahada Muslims have all got all kinds of factions, with imams issuing fatwas and all. You're sort of fighting the human condition here.

Is it not strange that Muslims are clear about their God and yet you find them most inhuman fundamentalist of all people round the world? I prefer confusion keeps flourishing for ever if that keeps Christians more human as such. Confusion is good as it keeps you on search and makes you good learner all the time. Confirmation is bad as it stops you to seek ahead and seizes your learning ability. Besides in ever changing world how can anything be confirmed and stay that forever?

I agree. That is why we believe that the bible they read now is not false. There is no specific belief. There are too many books. In Islam we believe that the Qur'an had never been changed and that is why we agree on one God and Muhammad being a prophet.

the father, the son and the holy spirit. they are different but there all the same. I dosent really matter to me how others think. Everyone interprets things differently but the key is that they live the best they can according to there beliefs.

This is the Trinity....3 persons in one Godhead....3 distinct persons but 1. Of course, we can't fully comprehend this, else we would be God.

Every one is reaching out to Him, God ... But humanity has developed its own way how to reach Him ... Let this not play in your mind, and follow your own religion to-the-book (You will find that your own religion is not much different from others.) Keepup the faith in believing in the Almighty.

HA! (NO ONE Resurrected from the dead except for Jesus!) Jesus IS God and he is also The great Death Conquerer!!
