This difference in focus and audience explains the differences we see between the gospels, particularly in the birth narratives. The Intent of Matthew’s Gospel. The Gospel of Matthew is written for a Jewish audience. Matthew’s main goal is to highlight how Christ’s life, death, and resurrection fulfilled the prophecies of the Old Testament. The Nativity of Jesus Christ is traditionally celebrated on Christmas Day, December 25th, but let's look into whether this was actually Christ's birthday. The Gospels of Matthew and Luke provide accounts of Jesus's birth, including facts such as - the location of Bethlehem, the names of Mary and Joseph, fleeing to Egypt to escape King Herod 4 Atheists and agnostics are also among the most knowledgeable on questions that are not about Christianity. Out of 13 questions in the survey about non-Christian world religions including Islam, Judaism and Hinduism, atheists correctly answer an average of 6.1 and agnostics get 5.8 right, compared with an average of about 4.3 among Americans Baptists believe Jesus is their only mediator (“For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus” 1 Timothy 2:5). Baptists believe the government shouldn’t dictate church practices or worship, and the church should not attempt to control government (except through praying for and voting for political leaders). 4. Jesus Christ’s Nature. Jesus is fully divine, sharing the same divine nature as God the Father and God the Holy Spirit. He is believed to be eternal, uncreated, and possessing all the attributes of deity, including omnipotence, omniscience, and omnipresence. In addition to His divinity, Jesus is also fully human. Allah vs Jesus. Allah is the Arabic and Muslim version of God. Â Jesus is a figure in Christianity, he is often called the Son of God. Â Aside from the difference in people who believe Allah or Jesus to be a religious figure, there are also other differences between the two. Â In Islam, Allah is believed to be the supreme figure, a deity. Â He is a unique creator, master of the universe John baptizes Jesus as he has so many others but this time a sense of God’s presence is so vivid that John hears a voice claiming Jesus as God’s son and identify Jesus. But in the Luke version, John is not even at the baptism. He is miles away imprisoned in one of Herod’s fortresses, just before his death. ASCb.
