Im not sure if you have actual baptism in Islam. I think that that is a defining difference between the religions.


Baptism in Christianity has many metaphysical meanings, including:
Union with Christ
Baptism symbolizes the believer's union with Christ in death and resurrection, and their acceptance into the Christian community.
Spiritual purification
Baptism represents the washing away of sins and the beginning of a new life in Christ.
Reception of the Holy Spirit
Baptism is often associated with the reception of the Holy Spirit, which is essential to the believer's life.
Declaration of faith
Baptism is a public confession of faith that indicates the believer's commitment to follow Jesus Christ.
Symbol of God's redeeming work
Baptism is a reminder of God's redeeming work through Jesus Christ for the salvation of humanity.
Obedience
Baptism is an act of obedience that symbolizes the believer's faith in Christ.
Spiritual cleansing
Baptism illustrates the spiritual cleansing we experience when we are saved.
Burial and resurrection
The believer is immersed in water, symbolizing burial with Christ, and then raised out of the water, symbolizing resurrection

@nobodyishome the bodies would be pitbup on platforms or in trees for the hawks, eagles and crows to nibble on.

@Tastyfrzz Oww oki. Why do you think burial is sacred? Because I know that God sent a crow to Adam's son, Cain and Abel, when one of them was killed, to show that the boy's body should be buried. That was the first boy who was dead on earth, and then the crow came and started digging the ground with his beak. That's how Cain got the idea to bury Abel's body in the ground. Why do you think burial is sacred?

@nobodyishome i have not heard that story before.

First, there are the concepts of sin, original sin, and the afterlife. If one is to actually believe that the all knowing loving God that created the world also created a heaven of eternsl bliss, a hell of eternal torment, Angels, Satan, and demons then you spend your life praying for salvation and hoping that you are living Gods plan for your life as everyone has freedom of choice/Free will. The easter story is the key to Christianity. It separates it from other religions of the time. It eliminated the need for sacrifice, blood rituals, and paying tribute or indulgences. By Christ dying for our sins and coming back to life as was prophesied in Hosea In the old testament, all that is now required is the belief that Jesus did this. The concept of "Forgiveness" was lacking in the Jewish faith. Retribution was all that existed. Also, he showed that the power of love for each other was greater and better than piety without works of generosity.
The return of Christ or the second coming of Christ is expounded on in the book of revelation but there is a historical context of a need for social justice at the time as the Romans had basically attempted to exterminate Judaism and Christianity.

The study of the "last things" - including the Second Coming, the resurrection, and the final judgment - is called eschatology.

@Tastyfrzz Thanks, I think the fight of the Muslims is not against a particular sect or a group as a whole. It't a fight against bad. Well, atleast what Allah considers bad. Just my perspective.

Translation errors, Metaphysics, hermeneutics, exegesis, and eisegesis are all ways to interpret religious writings. It keeps scholars employed.

@nobodyishome Easoer to look them up. There are so many terms and concepts for studying and understanding this stuff. Codes and numerology ... it goes on and on.
