1 | Where are muslims in the Bible? | Ex 20:3 | retxar | 21113 | ||
The Arabs ancestry is traced to Abraham thru Ishmael. Many Arabs are Muslims but that does not mean the Islamic religion has any biblical basis and it certainly did not originate with Ishmael. Religion and ancestry are two totally different things. The Islamic religion and it’s god Allah was the invention of Muhammad around 600 AD. It never existed before that. The only scripture reference that could possible be talking of the Islamic religion or Muhammad would be Mat 7:15, Mat 24:11, 2Pe 2:1, etc. One Way, that’s Jesus!! retxar |

2 | Where are muslims in the Bible? | Ex 20:3 | Hank | 21116 | ||
Retxar, since Islam is of more than passing interest to us these days because of the enormity of the events that continue to alter the course of history, I'd like to follow your note with a thumb-nail of the Islamic religion. Islam, although youngest of major world religons, is now the second largest and 1 in 5 of the earth's populaton is Muslim..... It began in Saudi Arabia, but non-Arab Muslims make up about 75 per cent of Islam. Muhammad, born in Mecca in 570 A.D. was the key person in the founding of Islam. His people were polytheistic, recognizing some 360 deities, among them the god Allah. In 610 A.D. Muhammad claimed a series of visits from Gabriel which resulted in the compilation of the Quran (Koran). Muhammad preached monotheism, was persecuted and fled to Medina. He raised an army and defeated Mecca in 630 A.D. He personally destroyed all the other idols, selected Allah, and proclaimed that there is no god but Allah..... Contrasts between Islam and Christianity: (1) Islam rejects the Trinity, believing Christians have 3 Gods (2) Islam believes man is basically good (3) Islam believes in God's forgiveness without atonement. (4) Islam believes salvation is by works, not substitutionary death. (5) Islam believes Jesus was taken up to heaven and Judas was crucified (6) Islam believes the Bible is prophetic but corrupted. --Hank | ||||||
