Is Islam the Synagogue of Satan?

What makes you think that? Because the House of Israel doesn't conduct themselves like Christians? They worship the same God as the House of Judah, it's the Christians who don't fit.

What is the current temple on the Temple Mount, it's not Jewish it is not Christian and it both denies Isaac and Christ and it is only there because some one called Muhammad dreamt it up, yes it was a dream that it should be there, it is not even as accurate to say it should be there.

There is no matter with an Earthly Temple.

All faiths need to be building the Temple that is built without hands.

For the Jews it is a Tribal gathering since they have been scattered so many times and killed off, they need to regroup as a believing nation of people, once that happens and they build a temple, and you know where-Temple Mount of course and that they need to show they are serious about God then God him self will make him self known.

But right now all we know is that they have to overcome this last obsticle of a dome. The centre of God will be based there, it always was there. This is why the third Temple needs to be built, and once that happens and they begin to believe in Christ, then prophecy and Tribulation will begin, but right now the Mosque is a blessing in disguise holding back Bible prophecy, well not really because man is suffering without God and we can still know Christ and have it all solved by now this world, but that is on hold. The reason why there will be a tribulation and a great war is because the surrounding nations of Isreal want to wipe them out, so either way it is not a blessing after all, it is a cunundrum of a paradox.

Quote from Checkers:
"Many people believe that the Bible discusses Islam here:

Revelation 3
7 “Write this letter to the angel of the church in Philadelphia.
This is the message from the one who is holy and true,
the one who has the key of David.
What he opens, no one can close;
and what he closes, no one can open:
8 “I know all the things you do, and I have opened a door for you that no one can close. You have little strength, yet you obeyed my word and did not deny me. 9 Look, I will force those who belong to Satan’s synagogue—those liars who say they are Jews but are not—to come and bow down at your feet. They will acknowledge that you are the ones I love.
10 “Because you have obeyed my command to persevere, I will protect you from the great time of testing that will come upon the whole world to test those who belong to this world.

"
\
Some evidence seems to support their claim that the Bible discusses Islam as Satan's synagogue. For example:
www.abovetopsecret.com...

Also, the Bible explains how to test whether or not Islam is from God:



1 John 4
1 Dear friends, do not believe everyone who claims to speak by the Spirit. You must test them to see if the spirit they have comes from God. For there are many false prophets in the world. 2 This is how we know if they have the Spirit of God: If a person claiming to be a prophet acknowledges that Jesus Christ came in a real body, that person has the Spirit of God. 3 But if someone claims to be a prophet and does not acknowledge the truth about Jesus, that person is not from God. Such a person has the spirit of the Antichrist, which you heard is coming into the world and indeed is already here.



Allah, Muhammad, and Islam did/do not confess Jesus as Christ. Some interpret this as meaning that the spirit of Islam is Antichrist since it directs Muslims to deny Jesus as Christ. The spirit of the Antichrist that directs people to deny Jesus as Christ could therefore be interpreted as "Satan's synagogue".

However, the Bible proclaims Jesus as Lord. So if Muhammad denied that Jesus is Lord then does that mean that he was an Antichrist? What is the Bible referring to as "Satan’s synagogue—those liars who say they are Jews but are not"?

The Bible refutes Islam by proclaiming that Jesus is Lord here:


Colossians 1
15 Christ is the visible image of the invisible God.
He existed before anything was created and is supreme over all creation,
16 for through him God created everything
in the heavenly realms and on earth.
He made the things we can see
and the things we can’t see—
such as thrones, kingdoms, rulers, and authorities in the unseen world.
Everything was created through him and for him.
17 He existed before anything else,
and he holds all creation together.
18 Christ is also the head of the church,
which is his body.
He is the beginning,
supreme over all who rise from the dead.
So he is first in everything.
19 For God in all his fullness
was pleased to live in Christ,
20 and through him God reconciled
everything to himself.
He made peace with everything in heaven and on earth
by means of Christ’s blood on the cross."

My opinions:

Frankly speaking I am a person with a spiritual crisis but I can confidently say that Islam in reality is a very logical and scientific religion although a couple of things mentioned in the surahs are harsh-hence causing my spiritual crisis.So basically I am neutral here.In response to your post, if you logically analyze the situation ,there is no real evidence that the any holy book revealed (whether it was Torah,Bible etc.)was preserved through out the ages and modification is a real possibility!But I am sure you have own reasons for your beliefs!

And while we all argue amongst ourselve over which religion is more important than the other. We all should be concentrating on the real religion of Satan, the new age religion. Has no one done any researchon you tube or any where else.

There is alot of hype with regards to a certain dude. His name is Maitreya, Many believe that he is the comming suppisingly anti-christ and there is alot of others who see him as the comming of the Messiah, Christ, Allah, What ever he is called inother religions.. Should we all not be fighting this so called new religion, rather than fighting amongst ourselves?

Just an opinion, shoot me down in flames if you wish to do so. I saw a picture of this dude, that gave me the creeps.

What about Atheists? Agnostics? Hindus? Buddhists? Jews? ETC ETC

Why Islam? Islam at least has a high respect for Jesus, there is a whole chapter about his life and how he was born in a miraculous birth, how he healed the sick etc.

Ignorance is a bless they say.

First, my apologies from have not checked on this thread in awhile, so excuse my delayed reply.


As to the claim that Muhammed had been mentioned but was deleted is baseless unless there is a copy of this that can validate it, the only instances where I come across this is by Muslims attempting to valid their own faith and how it was foretold, there have been no historical examples of this. I am happy that you have found a faith for yourself and if it helps you or others to be better people, that's great. But why is there a need to validate it through the Bible and by claims that are without merit. Which then leads me to ask where you came across the story of St. Barnabus that you told? To ease my own curiousity I would like to read it for myself.

I have read the Koran, and while I did find it interesting, to merely be impressed that it mentions Jesus, Mary, the Virgin Birth, and countless other similarities to Christianity but ignore the differences and how imo it incorrectly describes the traditions and basic beliefs (ie the Trinity) would be foolish. Of course, the Muslims that I have had this discussion with say that it is because it has been altered and altered and removed or changed etc. Again, I would to see proof of this. We have found many ancient manuscripts (gasp even by heretics) and nothing has outright invalidated the Holy Bible, nor has there been any mention of Muhammed or Islam.

I put some comments inside the quote, in brackets;





FWIW, the OT is NOT a jewish bible, it is a Hebrew Bible and an Israelite Bible, and the promise to Abraham went to his sons who were ISRAELITES, not jews, there was only one tribe called Judah, it cannot speak for all the other tribes....altho it sure likes to act like it can many times. Not to mention the people who assume and also just pass on that bad info as if it were gospel, which it is not.

The pharisees and Judah were getting infiltrated with outsiders known as IDUMEANS, look them up.

And to the OP, no islam is not the synagogue of satan. You really need a good teacher to help you out!

Nice thread. But why does anyone care- thats the real question?
You've got all the intolerant majors right there in one statement; let them fight their territorial-pissings out amongst themselves; most of us are just sick to death of the tired and futile debate.
Hopefully they will find a remote corner of the world and wipe each other out; and leave the rest of us to be progressive, rather than quibble over medieval rubbish.
How long are we going to waste time and energy on this; move on.

John 16
1"All this I have told you so that you will not go astray. 2They will put you out of the synagogue; in fact, a time is coming when anyone who kills you will think he is offering a service to God. 3They will do such things because they have not known the Father or me. 4I have told you this, so that when the time comes you will remember that I warned you. I did not tell you this at first because I was with you.
_________________

He may have point, think about it today and what the Koran says about treating infedels and Christians, a time is coming when killing Christians is an honour to God, that was his warning. Are non Christians allowed in Mecca and Temple Mount Shrine, how are you treated when entering a Mosque today?

Is your Church closed to non Christians?
