A Biblical Overview: Truth in Contrast
One of the most important discussions of our time is the relationship between Islam and biblical Christianity.
While both claim reverence for Abraham, Moses, and even Jesus, the similarities end quickly when Scripture is honestly compared with the Qur’an.
True North Christianity approaches this discussion not from hostility — but from clarity. Our goal is to confront deception with truth, exposing contradictions while calling all people back to the final authority of God’s Word, the Bible.
“You will know the truth, and the truth will make you free.”
— John 8:32
This page provides a high-level overview of core theological and historical issues between Islam and biblical Christianity. Subsequent articles will take a deeper look — from the deity of Jesus to Qur’anic contradictions, and how the Bible stands confirmed even by the Qur’an itself.
Islam and Christianity both claim monotheism, but their sources of revelation are entirely different.
“Let God be true, and every man a liar.”
— Romans 3:4
If both cannot be true, one must stand as the revelation consistent with history, prophecy, and the unchanging nature of God.

A foundational difference lies in the identity of Jesus — or Isa, as the Qur’an calls Him.
| Bible | Qur’an |
|---|---|
| Jesus is the Son of God, eternal, divine, and Creator (John 1:1–3; Col. 1:15–17). | Isa is a created prophet, human only, not divine (Surah 19:30–35). |
| Jesus died for our sins, rose from the dead (1 Cor. 15:3–4). | Isa did not die; someone else was made to appear like Him (Surah 4:157). |
| Jesus is the only way to salvation (John 14:6). | Islam denies salvation through Christ, requiring submission to Allah and good deeds. |
This is not a small distinction. It is the divide between redemption and religious effort, between divine grace and human striving.
Even the Qur’an’s internal storyline raises serious historical and theological questions:
While the Qur’an affirms Jewish prophets and honors Jesus as “Messiah,” it redefines both beyond recognition — creating a parallel faith system disconnected from verifiable revelation.
Multiple passages in the Qur’an actually affirm the divine origin of the Torah and the Injil (Gospel):
“We sent down the Torah, in which was guidance and light… and after them We sent Jesus, the son of Mary, confirming that which came before Him in the Torah.”
— Surah 5:44–46
Yet in the same book, Muslims are told that Christians and Jews have “corrupted” the previous Scriptures — a claim made without evidence and inconsistent with the Qur’an’s own statements.
This contradiction leads to a critical question:
If the Qur’an verifies earlier Scripture — and those Scriptures proclaim Jesus as God incarnate — then Islam inadvertently affirms what it denies.
From a 30,000-foot view, several key contradictions become impossible to reconcile:
Islam’s inconsistencies don’t point to correction of Scripture — they point to replacement theology under spiritual deception.
Islam is not merely a personal faith — it is a religio-political system governing all areas of life: law, economy, dress, and behavior.
This worldview stands fundamentally at odds with the Gospel’s offer of freedom in Christ through grace and transformation by the Spirit, not coercion by law.
“Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.”
— 2 Corinthians 3:17
The cross frees; submission enslaves.
We confront Islam — not to attack Muslims, but to defend truth and expose deception.
Islam’s errors are not simply theological — they are eternal.
If Jesus is who He said He is — and He is — then any system that denies His deity and His cross denies salvation itself.
“Whoever denies the Son does not have the Father either; he who acknowledges the Son has the Father also.”
— 1 John 2:23
Future studies on this page will explore:
Each will build on this foundation — always comparing Scripture with Scripture, and exposing contradiction with truth.
At 30,000 feet, the pattern is clear:
One book points to God with us; the other denies that God ever came.
The same war that began in Genesis — between truth and deception — continues in every page written about Jesus Christ.
“Sanctify them by Your truth; Your word is truth.”
— John 17:17
The goal of True North Christianity is simple: to shine light on truth — to confront error boldly yet compassionately — and to call all people to the one Savior who truly is the Way, the Truth, and the Life.
