THE HISTORY OF ISLAM

Part 1

 Don't know how to ease into this so, let's get into it.

Now from 0AD to around 622AD, Christianity is spreading all the way through the Middle East over to Northern India and Persia and even to China with the Tang Dynasty. Up into Europe, Britain. Then it jumps over to Ireland [some reasearchers claim that at one point the Ark Of The Covenant was actually in Ireland] this was around the 400's and all of North Africa were Christians. Then in 622AD something happens, ISLAM happens.

I know I'm not the only one who has seen headlines of christians being killed in Nigeria, churches being burned in Europe. The people who do this claim they are doing it in the name of Islam.  Now apologists say that if you're concerned about this, you're guilty of bigotry, spreading a Sharia hoax or conspiracy. They assure us that terrorism does not represent "True Islam", but  the terrorists are often yelling,  "Allahu Akbar"

Well, who can tell us what true Islam is? One person, Mohammed.

MOHAMMED - The Rise

So who is Mohammed? "He's the best Muslim that ever lived." According to Islam. His life is called the "Sunnah" which means "the way" or "the example",  and it went through three stages, and you cannot understand what is going on today unless you understand these three stages. He was a Religious Leader, then a Political Leader, then a Military Leader. So this is how the world was before Mohammed. You have the Byzantine Christian Roman Empire that went all the way through the Middle East and then you have the Persian Empire, that is today Iran. The Byzantine was around 550AD this is roughly 20 years before Mohammed's birth. Now for centuries, these two beat each other up leaving a power vaccum that was occupied by Islam. Save that for later, let's get back to the star of the show.

The life of Mohammed begins when his father dies before he's born, his mother dies when he's six, his grandfather and guardian dies when he's eight, he's orphaned, taken in by an uncle Abu Talib  and He's a merchant who takes Mohammed on camel rides and he hears about different religions. And so one religion was Manichaeism.  A mani person would say that there's little bits of truth in every religion. And so  Mohammed would have heard about this. And then there's the Persian Zoroastrian religion that  believed paradise was filled full of virgins that would fulfill all the guy's desires.  Mohammed heard this and it got incorporated into his belief system. They also believed in jinns or genies like "1001 Arabian Nights" which is about a king who marries and executes a new bride every morning. That's crazy. And if you are like me and you've watched stuff like Sinbad, Ali Baba e.t.c that's all part of the Arabian Nights. And then the pagans in Arabia had a square building called the Kaaba that housed 360 different pagan gods. [is it me or does this remind you of Paul and his teachings in Acts 17?] And the most popular was Hubal "the moon god." [always wondered where they got that crescent moon sigil from] And their calendar began with the first sight of the crescent moon over the desert. Sound farmiliar?

We continue from here.

Can Obedience Feel Like Failure?

Can Obedience Feel Like Failure? by Buston I don’t know if anyone really prepares you for this part of the journey, the part where following God doesn’t feel like soaring on wings like eagles… it feels more like watching everyone else take off while you’re still stuck on the ground. Most people hear “missionary pilot” and imagine adventure, impact, purpose. And honestly, that’s what I imagined too. I had this picture in my mind of flying into remote places, helping people, serving God with everything in me. It was simple back then, hear God, obey, and the path unfolds. But nobody talks about the chapters where obedience feels like you made a mistake. I’ve put so much into this calling. The late nights studying. The long days training. The sacrifices. The waiting. The hoping. The praying. Coming from where I started — from the slums — chasing this dream has already felt like a miracle. But dreams are expensive . Purpose is heavy . And obedience… obedience costs more than I expected. Wh...

FINISHED Part 1

 Part 1 -  The Dark Knight Before The Cross Behold, the son of God in the sacred, scandalous garden of Gethsemane.The high king laid low the fountain of all joy saying, my soul is so deeply grieved I could die right now.The air thick with anguish, torment, heartbreak.The kiss of the disciple of betrayal soon to reverberate through the branches of the olive trees that engulfed the garden.  God had come to man to bring man to God, and man responded with crucifixion.Feel the weight of the sinfulness of sin, that given the chance, sin would try to kill God himself. Behold the son of God, perfectly good, perfectly righteous, but now perfectly sorrowful. Alone, desperate for the prayers of his friends, but none will be found. Oh, lord and savior, how heavy was that night before you would die? What could bring the Lord of glory to thrice ask for deliverance from what he was about to endure? Was it the failure and fickleness of those who followed you? Was it the pending tor...

THE HISTORY OF ISLAM - 2

 PART 2 So now you kinda get the picture of where they got the thing like the Kaaba and their crescent moon "sigil" The pagans had a rock they thought had fallen from the moon. Now, even the Book of Judges 8 , it talks about Zeba and Zalmuni and they took away the crescent moon, half moon ornaments that were on their necks. Most of the pagan cultures had a female deity and a male deity associated with the sun or the moon. Muhammad kissed this rock and it got incorporated into his belief system. Mohammed - The Electic Muhammad and his early followers could not read. Hence the word " Qur'an " which means ' recitation ' Jews and Christians were called people of the book .  So Mohammed never read the Old Testament,  but he heard their oral stories called Talmud and Mishnah . And some of those stories got incorporated into his belief system. The gospel was known to Mohammed chiefly through apocryphal and heretical sources .  So what's  apocryp...
