I think to answer this question, it is important to have a proper understanding of the nature of both religions. I would like to focus more attention to Christianity in this article because I think there are some issues which need to be cleared up. Regarding Christianity, it is crucial to understand the role of Paul of Tarsus, which many Christians and Muslims don’t realize. For all practical purposes, and by definition, Paul of Tarsus was a Prophet. This Prophet claimed to receive a revelation from God, came with a new law, and presented a Holy Scripture for men to follow. Thou Paul of Tarsus preferred to be called an Apostle, in reality he was much more than an Apostle; he was a Prophet too.

After Jesus left this earth, some years later, Paul of Tarsus claimed to receive a revelation from God and became a Prophet. Jesus Christ never left a single page of writing behind, nor did he leave a institute of higher learning, so Paul did not have to append his scripture to a already existing scripture, nor did he have to join an already existing party or organization established by Jesus, and work his way up to President. Paul of Tarsus was not the only Prophet at that time, there were actually many different men who appeared and claimed to be Prophets, Paul of Tarsus was just one of them. Paul claimed that he had the true religion, and that he possessed the true message of Christ, Paul established himself as the sole source for all information pertaining to Jesus Christ, while proclaiming that his competitors were frauds. Nevertheless, his competitors thought that Paul was the one who was the fraud. To make a long story short, Paul’s church eventually beat out its competitors, and arose as the sole victorious Church which is present today (not to mention, Paul’s Church divided into many sects like Catholic, Protestant, JW, and Baptist..etc). This is a very important fact of history, because it is Paul’s church, which had the privilege of selecting all the books of the New Testament. And not only that, but Paul’s Church has provided 100% of all Christian beliefs, for example:

Trinity

Salvation

Blood atonement

Baptism

Now some Christians may say, "That’s not true, we also have the writing of the very Disciples of Christ, like Mathew, Mark, Luke, and John." Well, not exactly, because it was Paul’s Church which selected these gospels and claimed that they were the writings of Christ’s disciples. But there is no way which we can independently confirm that these 4 gospels were actually written by them, there simply is no proof at all. The only reason why Christians believe that these gospels were written by the disciples is because Paul’s Church said so. As I mentioned above, it is Paul’s Church, which provided 100% of all Christian beliefs. Therefore, the entire Christian faith rests on the weather Paul of Tarsus was a true Prophet or a false prophet.

Very briefly coming to Islam, Prophet Muhammed(P.B.U.H) claimed to be a Prophet, and received revelation from God, and gave mankind a Holy Scripture. Not only that but he claimed that he possessed the true message of Christ. This leaves us with two mortal human beings, with the same IDENTICAL claim!:

In conclusion, it is crucial to understand the following point in order to answer the question, "which is the true way to God?":

 

BOTH CHRISTIANS AND MUSLIMS BELIEVE THAT GOD SENT A PROPHET AFTER JESUS CHRIST TO LEAD MANKIND ON THE TRUE PATH TO GOD. THE ONLY QUESTION IS, WHO IS THAT TRUE PROPHET AND WHO IS THE FALSE PROPHET? ExamineTheTruth.com will help answer that question.
