The difference being the New Testament was written decades after Christ&#x27;s death by apostles who expected worldly salvation a lot earlier, and so the stories are ripe for exaggeration and misremembered details (and the parts that the Catholic Church destroyed because they were incompatible with their ruling ideology but we&#x27;ll let that go for now).<p>As for the Old Testament: how many Christians keep kosher?<p>Islam&#x27;s founding story is much more straightforward: Angel tells Muhammed to transcribe a book that exists word-for-word in heaven. No ambiguity there.
