islamic similarities in christianity
July 30, 2014 at 9:38 am
Hello people,
could you please help enlighten me.
Is the bible older than the quran and are there similarities in some of the stories?

Thank you

As the quran was copied from the earlier Old Testament, there are a lot of similarities

The Bible is older than the Koran and large parts of the Bible are used in the Koran or inspired passages in the Koran. (The Koran even has Jesus in it too!)

Islam is an offshoot of Judaism, just like christianity, so they're basically estranged siblings. And like many siblings, they fight a lot, despite coming from the same parent. Islam is the younger sibling.

Islam isn't an offshoot of Judaism but Satan's alternative to it. God established the nation of Israel to bring the messiah into the world. Satan started Islam as a way to bring the false messiah, the antichrist, into the world. Here is the explanation:

In a sense they are siblings. Moses was a descendant of Abraham's son Isaac. Muhammad was a descendant of his other son Ishmael.
His invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse.

Similarities? Well, both are brimming with bullshit, and both insist that everyone else take them and their childish fantasies as seriously as they do. And drama queens? Don't get me started.

No, you've got it all wrong. Satan's alternative to Judaism is Christianity. The Jews have been trying to tell Christians that for centuries.

Islam is just the 7th century version of Mormonism, invented in a similar fashion, but with different drivers.

Take a little bit of paganism, take a lot from Judaism, sprinkle with some Christianity and add a hefty dose of fan-fiction bullshit, misogyny, and xenophobia and poof! Another bullshit religion.

America is falling more and more under Satan's control.
