Calling a Spade a Spade

I came across this recently and found it interesting:

Revelation 19: 16

“And on his robe and written on his thigh is a name: King of kings and Lord of Lords”

The Sahih Bukhari volume 8, book 73, verse 225

“The most awful name in Allah’s sight is a man calling himself king of kings”

Great source of information on this:

The Muslim’s claim that Allah is the God of the Bible and that Islam arose from the religion of the prophets and apostles is refuted by solid, overwhelming archeological evidence. Islam is nothing more than a revival of the ancient Moon-god cult. It has taken the symbols, the rites, the ceremonies, and even the name of its god from the ancient pagan religion of the Moon-god. As such, it is sheer idolatry and must be rejected by all those who follow the Torah and Gospel.

Well that’s no more a refutation of the origins of Islam than the fact that the early Christian Church incorporated a lot of elements including the calendar from Paganism refutes the origins of Christianity.

It is a great source of information on the Moon-god cult.

I am not refuting early Christian’s included Paganism.

The point is that all three major religions today have incorporated aspects of religions they replaced. Including those aspects doesn’t refute their origins or invalidate them.

:thinking: Perhaps.

But when a religion steers so far from its origins is it still the same religion?

Islam hasn’t changed much since it first arose unfortunately.

They wouldn’t be different religions as opposed to different sects or denominations if they hadn’t diverged quite a bit.

Throw out most of Muhammad’s perversions which became Islam and about all you’d have left would be the OT.

Don’t all religions have elements of Genesis that were bastardized after the population of Babel was dispersed. (Look up the Table of Nations.)
