Assalamu alaikum warahmatuAllah wabarakatuh
The difference could be that the Christian interpretation of 'being with us' has taken literal turn, while Islam teaches that the Creator is not of course a part of His creation, obviously He Subhanahu wa Ta'ala cannot and will not be with is in the sense of being here in the flesh, as the Christian interpretation is.
He Subhanahu wa Ta'ala does not take a human formation, since He is unique (Surah 112) - but still He is close to us.
This ayah should make that very clear inshaAllah,
''It was We Who created man, and We know what dark suggestions his soul makes to him: for We are nearer to him than (his) jugular vein.
May Allah reward you from bringing this verse,
''It was We Who created man, and We know what dark suggestions his soul makes to him: <b>for We are nearer to him than (his) jugular vein</b>. beautiful.
