Is Islam really a true religion worshiping the same God - TopicsExpress



          

Is Islam really a true religion worshiping the same God as Christianity? I had to ask myself this question: who is the God of Islam? Is it really the same God that Abraham worshiped as they want us to believe? It is asserted by Muslims that the Meccan Arabs are descendents of Ishmael, the son of Abraham. They also claim that Ishmael settled in Mecca where he, along with Abraham, built the Kabah and passed on the religion of the true God to his offspring. It is believed that throughout time the Ishmaelites perverted the worship of the true God, not by abandoning their belief in him, but by adding other gods in their worship, thus perverting the religion of the God of their father Ishmael. It is actually provable that this is not true, as I will show you. In the Old Testament, near Israels beginnings, worship of a false God called Baal began, and consisted of worshiping the heavenly bodies, of which the moon is the largest in the sky. The Biblical and historical evidence shows that the Moabites worshiped Baal. The pre-Islamic and Muslim sources show (a) that the Meccans took over the idol Hubal from the Moabites and (b) that Allah and Hubal are actually identical. Thus, whether the Meccans are Ishmaelites or not, the evidence is still strong and sufficient to conclude that Muhammads Allah is actually Hubal, i.e., the Baal of the Moabites and thus not the God of the Bible. Muhammad incorporated the characteristics and names of various other gods into his new monotheistic message about Allah, but he apparently started the construction of Allah with Hubal, the chief god of the Meccans. The pre-Islam pagan Arabs worshipped the Moon-god Allah by praying toward Mecca several times a day; making a pilgrimage to Mecca; running around the temple of the Moon-god called the Kabah; kissing the black stone; killing an animal in sacrifice to the Moon-god; throwing stones at the devil; fasting for the month which begins and ends with the crescent moon; giving alms to the poor, etc. If you have read the news in recent months, you know that modern day Muslims practice these very rituals. The Muslims are worshiping the same false god that people have been worshiping since early times as far back as Israels beginnings. Most importantly, Muslims say you don’t need to believe in Jesus Christ to be saved! Muslims will admit that Jesus Christ was a true prophet, but deny that He was the Messiah (although some Western Muslims will say He was anointed), they will deny that He was God manifested in the flesh as of the Son of God (John 1:14), and they will deny that He died on the cross and rose again. Does that make sense? Absolutely not! That belief cannot be truth because Jesus Christ Himself said He was the Messiah, and said He was the Son of God! John 4:26 Jesus saith unto her, I that speak unto thee am he. John 9:35 Jesus heard that they had cast him out; and when he had found him, he said unto him, Dost thou believe on the Son of God? 36 He answered and said, Who is he, Lord, that I might believe on him? 37 And Jesus said unto him, Thou hast both seen him, and it is he that talketh with thee. That would make Him a false prophet according to the Muslim beliefs! How twisted is that? But it’s a lie believed by one and a half billion people. We absolutely must believe that Jesus Christ is God manifest in the flesh, was crucified for our sins and rose again. This is the gospel! John 8:24 I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins. John 3:18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. Acts 4:12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved. There is no salvation in any other name but Jesus! Not Mohammed, not Buddha; no other name… The word Islam means submission. Not only in the sense of submission to Allah, but in the sense of making everyone submit to the rule of Islam. Islam is about subduing the world and making it submit. The Muslims believe that Mohammed is the exemplar of right conduct. They aspire to be like him in the same manner that Christians aspire to be like Jesus. Mohammed said to spread, through warfare, the rules of Islam. Mohammed became increasingly violent during his career and spent 10 years in Medina creating an army to overthrow his homeland, Mecca, after he was ran off by the pagans in 622 AD. He killed thousands of people and subdued Arabia through war. Muslims are encouraged to commit acts of heroism in combat. They are promised that those who kill and are killed will be rewarded with paradise. This is the basis for suicide bombers. They believe that since they are killing while they are killed that the sin of suicide is covered by the martyrdom of their action and, as such, they will be rewarded in heaven. Islam is a religion of political rule, a system of government. It is not about a personal relationship with Allah, it is about bringing the world under submission to its rule. The Quran (Koran) was written over time during the life of Mohammed (conveyed or recited by him). He started as a peaceful man, but as time went on he changed many of his values. As he became increasingly violent, his writings matched his attitude. The correct interpretation of the Quran is to take any conflict in doctrine, of which there is a whole lot, and replace an older verse with the latest one, supplanting its meaning with the more recent version in a process called abrogation. The problem is that the Quran is compiled from the longest Sura to the shortest, so its nearly impossible to know which conflicting verse to believe or obey. The Muslims have a whole committee of scholars to interpret the Quran and decide which verses were written first and the succession of them to the last. If you think Islam is a religion of peace, as they claim, just look at all the wars they are involved in today, in Europe, China, Africa, etc., and the mindset of Muslims as a whole as they chant Death to Israel, Death to America, while they are working toward their goal of subduing the world. Islam is a religion of peace only when they have conquered the world and subjected it to the rule of Islam. Also, if the son of the ruler of Hamas says that Islam has no moderates, then I believe him. Do they really expect us to believe they worship the same God that Christians do? The religion of the end time in Islamic prophecy vs the Bible There is ample evidence that the Islamic religion will be the false religion of the End Time used the by biblical Antichrist. Heres why I think so: The Islamic/Muslim prophecies are a parallel but opposite mirror of biblical prophecy concerning the End Time. The Muslim good guys are the Bibles bad guys. The Muslim prophecies listed here are found in the Quran and the Sunnah. Some believe Mohammed was possessed by a demon who gave him these parallel prophecies (Mohammed actually said that he feared he was possessed), but it could simply be that he had a copy of the book of Revelation and patterned this all after the Bible so as to look authentic. Personally, I believe he was either possessed or given this information and guided to build the Islamic religion by a demon or the devil himself. Take a look at the following list: Please remember that these Islamic prophecies are not biblical but they show how very deeply the Muslims of the world will be fooled because they mirror so closely what will actually happen, and it will seem as if their prophecies are coming true even though they are supporting the devil and his Antichrist. 1. Bible: The Antichrist is an unparalleled political, military, and religious leader that will emerge in the last days. a. Islam: The Mahdi is an unparalleled political, military, and religious leader that will emerge in the last days. 2. Bible: the False Prophet is a secondary prominent figure that will emerge in the last days who will support the Antichrist. a. Islam: the Muslim Jesus is a secondary prominent figure that will emerge in the last days to support the Mahdi. 3. Bible: The Antichrist and the False Prophet together will have a powerful army that will do great damage to the earth in an effort to subdue every nation and dominate the world. a. Islam: The Mahdi and the Muslim Jesus will have a powerful army that will attempt to control every nation of the earth and dominate the world. 4. Bible: The False Prophet is described essentially as a dragon in lambs clothing. a. Islam: The Muslim Jesus comes bearing the name of the one that the world knows as The Lamb of God, Jesus Christ. Yet the Muslim Jesus comes to murder all those who do not submit to Islam. 5. Bible: The Antichrist and the False Prophet establish a new world order. a. Islam: The Mahdi and the Muslim Jesus establish a new world order. 6. Bible: The Antichrist and the False Prophet institute new laws for the whole earth. a. Islam: The Mahdi and the Muslim Jesus institute Islamic law all over the earth. 7. Bible: The Antichrist is said to change the times. a. Islam: It is quite certain that if the Mahdi established Islam all over the earth, he would discontinue the use of Saturday and Sunday as the weekend for days of rest but rather Friday, the holy day of Islam. Also, he would most certainly eliminate the Gregorian calendar and replace it with the Islamic calendar used in every Islamic country. 8. Bible: The Antichrist and the False Prophet will both be powerful religious leaders who will attempt to institute a universal world religion. a. Islam: The Mahdi and the Muslim Jesus will institute Islam as the only religion on the earth. 9. Bible: The Antichrist and the False Prophet will execute anyone who does not submit to their world religion. a. Islam: Likewise, the Mahdi and the Muslim Jesus will execute anyone who does not submit to Islam. 10. Bible: The Antichrist and the False Prophet will specifically use beheading as the primary means of execution for non- conformists. a. Islam: The Mahdi and the Muslim Jesus will use the Islamic practice of beheading for executions. 11. Bible: The Antichrist and the False Prophet will have a specific agenda to kill as many Jews and Christians as possible. a. Islam: The Mahdi and the Muslim Jesus hate Jews and Christians and will kill as many as possible until only a few are left hiding behind rocks and trees. 12. Bible: The Antichrist and the False Prophet will attack to conquer and seize Jerusalem (the battle of Armageddon). a. Islam: The Mahdi and the Muslim Jesus will attack to reconquer and seize Jerusalem for Islam. 13. Bible: The Antichrist will set himself up in the Jewish Temple as his seat of authority (the abomination of desolation). a. Islam: The Mahdi will establish the Islamic caliphate from Jerusalem. 14. Bible: The False Prophet is said to do many miracles to deceive as many as possible into supporting the Antichrist. a. Islam: The Mahdi himself is said to control the weather and the crops. His face is said to glow. We can also assume that since Jesus is viewed as having been empowered by Allah to work miracles when He was here on earth the first time, He will most likely be expected to continue to do so when He returns. 15. Bible: The belief at the time of Muhammad (and still believed by some people today) was that the Antichrist is described as riding on a white horse in the Book of Revelation. a. Islam: The Mahdi is described as riding on a white horse (ironically in the same verse in Revelation). 16. Bible: The Antichrist is said to make a peace treaty (with many) with Israel for seven years (the Confirmation of the Covenant). a. Islam: The Mahdi is said to make a peace treaty through a Jew (specifically a Levite) for exactly seven years. 17. Bible: Jesus the Jewish Messiah will return to defend the Jews in Israel from a military attack from a vast coalition of nations led by the Antichrist and the False Prophet (the battle of Armageddon). a. Islam: The Dajjal, the Islamic Antichrist, will gain a great Jewish following and claim to be Jesus Christ and fight against the Mahdi and the Muslim Jesus. 18. Bible: The antichrist spirit specifically denies the most unique and central doctrines of Christianity, namely the divinity of Jesus, the incarnation of God in the flesh, and the substitutionary death of Jesus on the Cross. a. Islam: Islam doctrinally and spiritually specifically denies the most unique and central doctrines of Christianity, namely the divinity of Jesus, the incarnation of God in the flesh, and the substitutionary death of Jesus on the Cross. 19. Bible: The primary warning of Jesus and the Apostle Paul was to warn Christians of the abundance of deceit and deception in the last days. a. Islam: Islam is perhaps the only religion on earth that practices deceit as one of its tools to assist its own ascendancy. It actually has a specific doctrine which allows and even calls for deception to be used to achieve its desired end. 20. Bible: From the Bible and history we learn that the final Antichrist empire will be a revived version of the empire that succeeds the Roman Empire (the iron mingled with clay of Daniel 2). a. Islam: The empire that succeeded the Roman Empire was the combined Holy Roman Empire in parallel with the Islamic Ottoman Empire. 21. Bible: When the Antichrist emerges, a system will already exist poised to receive him as a savior and to give allegiance to him. a. Islam is already the second largest religion and combined with Christianity constitutes over half of the worlds population. Islam awaits the coming of the Mahdi with universal anticipation. The Catholic church and many Christian churches believe that the Muslims will be saved just like Christianity will be, and believe that they worship the same God as Christianity. Its a very short step to convert to Islam if that is believed to be the truth. We can see that the whole world will be fooled by the false prophet and the Antichrist, including the Muslims. The Muslims will believe it is their Mahdi, while the rest of the world will follow the interfaith movement into believing that being a Muslim is the same as Christianity in that we all worship the same God and therefore will enjoy the same salvation. As stated, the Catholic church has already included Islam as part of Gods people and many Christian churches are following this belief. This means that everyone who is fooled by this will think its perfectly ok to convert to Islam. What will the world of the end time look like? The nations of the end time
