Two different paths; both lead to the same mountaintop.
No they really do not.
The US is a definitively secular nation, founded on complete separation of the State and religion. The Left Wing of US realise this but don't realise that pure freedom requires as low tax and free access to guns as possible. The Right Wing of US don't realise that secular pure freedom means the LGBTQ+ and abortion agendas both end up in line with US's liberty-first ethos.
It is left-wing to be pro-life. You are backing poor babies being born at the inconvenience of the already-born. Go figure.
Islam and Christianity disagree with each other , but they agree their roots are in Judaism.
No they really do not.
Luke 17:21
Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.
John 14:2
In my Father's house are many mansions: if [it were] not [so], I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
Yeah Islam isnt headed there.

Muslims often culturally hate Jews and claim Moses, Jesus and Abraham were undercover Muslims named Musa Ibrahim and Isa. 😭
Muhammad led 2 major massacres against Jews.

Foundational to Christianity is belief that Jesus made an atoning sacrifice to pay for our sins and through personal acceptance of Jesus as savior, our sins will be forgiven. All but one sin, there is a sin that Jesus said could not be forgiven, and that "unforgivable sin" is blasphemy against the Holy Spirit, for which the penalty is eternal damnation. (Matthew 12:31-33, Mark 3:29, Luke 12:10)
Considering Christ's uncompromising warning, I think it is important to examine just what the unforgivable sin is and perhaps remind Christians of it. I single out offending Christians here because in Hebrews 6:4-6 the unforgivable sin is associated with "falling away", it clearly states that only Christians can commit this sin, and it claims the offenders are crucifying Jesus again while putting Him to an open shame. When I see some Christians engaging in so much denominational strife and religious one-upmanship, which upon consideration of Scripture is in fact what Jesus referred to as "blasphemy against the Holy Spirit", I can't imagine Jesus being anything but openly shamed by such a divided house.
In Matthew 12 Jesus says a divided house cannot stand, in his definition of the unforgivable sin he makes a clear distinction between blasphemies against Him (forgivable), and the Holy Spirit (unforgivable), and then immediately reminds us that you should only judge a tree by it's fruit.
Jesus said he came for ALL men, transcending the very notion of religious exclusion. In the context of the absolute laws of unity and compassion that He embodied and the utterly non-dual nature of his teachings, exemplified in the statement that "There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus" (Galatians 3:28 , Colossians 3:11) there can be little question about what the unforgivable sin is.
When asked to, Jesus summarized all of his teaching into the maxim that you should love your neighbor as you love yourself (Matthew 22:36-39 and Mark 12:28-31, also see Leviticus 19:18, Galatians 5:14 ,Matthew 22:39, Luke 10:27, James 2:8, John 1:5, John 13:34), something impossible to do without recognizing that your neighbor's faith is to him, what your faith is to you. Christ said that the true Kingdom of God was within, that his father's house had many mansions and that a Kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation and a divided house cannot stand.
The unforgivable sin then, is to have been to the mountaintop of the transcendent and non-dual love of Christ's understanding of God, and to again become dual minded and unstable (James 1:8), and to judge the Holy Spirit working in others by the external trappings of ritual and dogma rather than looking beyond those things to the Kingdom within (Luke 17:21), judging by something other than the fruit of the Holy Spirit, especially when the agenda of tribal denominationalism causes someone to totally deny His teachings and attribute the work of God's Spirit in others to demonic forces.
Along with almost every other major religion, Christianity maintains that God is transcendent to human understanding (Isaiah 55:8-9, 1 Corinthians 13:12 , Romans 11:33, and scads more) and Scripture is filled with supporting statements, explicitly telling us that no man knows as he ought to know (1 Corinthians 8:1-2 ), every man has his proper gift of God after different manners (1 Corinthians 7:7), with explicit consequential statements that therefore, we should not judge others (out of hundreds of references, Matthew 7:1 and 1 Corinthians 4:5 stand out).
When I see Christians engaging in all this religious one-upmanship and self righteous condemnation of other ways of understanding God it is hard not to see a direct parallel to the manner in which the Pharisees smugly proclaimed the fruits of Holy Spirit that dwelled in Jesus to be the works of Satan (Matthew 12).
When questioned about it, the Christians who engage in all this "puffing themselves up" (1 Corinthians 8:1-2) and "self exaltation" (Luke 14:11), typically justify it by claiming that they are only trying to save your eternal soul. Perhaps those offending individuals should forego their own egos and instead defer to their Scripture and consider what Jesus had to say about it all, and recognize that maybe it would be more appropriate to worry that it is your own soul that is facing eternal damnation.
Romans 2:1-2
Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, whosoever thou art that judgest: for wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest doest the same things. But we are sure that the judgment of God is according to truth against them which commit such things.
Islam states extremely different things about Jesus than most of what you just said and many Muslims would support if authorities hurt/intimidate you for Shirk (the worst sin) if you were Muslim saying that, especially in a Sharia nation.
If you apostated from Islam to Christianity, you would be liable for death penalty under Sharia Law as per both Qur'an and Hadiths.

I don’t think such exclusivity of truth is a tenet of the Christian faith and I do not believe it is Biblically derived. The central commandment of Christianity is that “The Lord our God is one Lord” which expresses a divine unity, and we must “love our neighbors as we love ourselves”, there is no other commandment greater than these in Christianity. To love our neighbor as we love ourselves we must necessarily recognize that his religion is to him, what our religion is to us.
The basic Christian epistemological postulate is that God transcends human understanding, the limiting distinctions and categories of normal human thought just do not apply; human knowledge is "finite" knowledge and the way we "know" is a function of our limited capacity to know. The true reality is much more, perhaps infinitely more, than we think it is, much more than we are even capable of thinking. God is transcendent to human knowledge, we can never have perfect understanding of God; He is as “seen through a glass darkly” such that “no man knows as he ought to know”. I think you can broadly characterize religious cognition as such that there is a direction involved the journey, and characterize the associated epistemological development as an ascent of religious discernment.
If you stand the various religions side by side you can draw lines horizontally between them and find great differences, but these are the surface level differences, cultural differences of form rather than content, solely exoteric differences. But there is another way to draw the lines, you can draw them vertically along a graded scale of ascending religious discernment in esoteric recognition that every religion has, underlying their various and conflicting literal meanings, a transcendent dimension, which is essential, primordial and universal. Ontologically speaking, there is a transcendent Divine Unity, commonly referred to as God; and using the vertically graded scale of the Christian worldview it can be said that “above” the religions converge, and “below” they differ. I think it can also be said that epistemologically speaking, and on the same Christian vertical scale that I referred to as ascending religious discernment, that cognitively, religious discernment unites also. Each religion approaches the transcendent reality from different cultural directions or frames of references but they do essentially converge on this understanding of the epistemology of knowledge.
Man’s mind cannot imagine a Divine Unity that excludes nothing any more than it can visualize light that is simultaneously wave and particle, or an electron that moves from place to place without traveling the distance between those two points, but that is the way the authorities of physics tell us the underlying reality is. In much the same way, the Absolute Unity that is referred to with the word God defies visualization or even consistent description, and the Philosophia Perennis which is being imparted by those who wrote the Bible is in fact, represented in a variety of cultural contexts, it is one and the same Spirit that is presented in a variety of different forms in all of the great religions of Mankind. The Divine Unity in all its fullness cannot in any way be circumscribed or even exhaustively defined by any single tradition, to circumscribe is to bound and limit, and “the word of God is not bound”.
Make a 1v1 debate on this.

What is even stephven?
Nonetheless, Islam and Christianity are similar religious clubs, but with varying membership rules and rituals.
Both work on the principle of a super-human creation and existence hypothesis, which was an idea that had been kicking around the Middle Eastern region and beyond, for thousands of years.
Though, in the immortal words of Harry Hill:
Which is the best, Islam or Christianity?
There's only one way to find out.
Here is some Haram music for you Muslims.

Both of these men are catholic and they both blaspheme God for entertainment.
There is no wisdom in the video.
Growth rate.
A Zedku for Debby. It's just people doing varyingly daft stuff.
Wake,

Do other stuff,
Pray to a fantasy bloke,

And repeat.
Eventually die.
And GOD,

As ever.
Imagine doing that 5 times a day like Muslims do. It proves their dedication.
Never did find out what an even stephven was.
"Stephen" is
a masculine first name of Greek origin, meaning "crown" or "wreath". It is famously associated with Saint Stephen, the first Christian martyr, and has been a popular name for kings and other influential figures throughout history.
Yes, but what about an even stephven.
It’s a variation of Stephen.

You turned the name into a comedy show.

I had no problem with this link

Link doesn't work for me either.
So I'll just leave it, and conclude that no one really knows what even stephven is referring to.
The above link works.

Yes, it works for me.
Christianity and Islam do not lead to the same goal.
In Christianity, heaven has no sex at all. In Islam, heaven is full of sex.
