The Koran is more akin to the Talmud than the Bible. And yes, both attempt to refute the claim of the Apostles and of Jesus Christ Himself that he is the Son of God who came into the world to call sinners to repentance and to grant those who believe in Him eternal life.<br /><br />Mohammad himself broke with the pattern of Abraham by setting his two wives' apartments on an east-west axis. In the Bible only Lamech the Braggart did this (Gen. 4). Mohammad's orientation of his wives resulted from his alignment of his mosque in Medina to Jerusalem. The alignment was later changed to Mecca.Alice C.

Do you think that it is just a coincidence that Allah, from al-ilah, "the deity," was originally a phrase used for the Moon-god as the chief diety? It is my understanding that Mecca became his center of worhsip and the crecsent moon was his sign apearing throughout the archeological record. The Koran also seems to have been put togther as an assortment of writings to be in oppposition to Christianinty - especially the claim the Jesus Christ is the Son of God. Its interesting to me that the sign in opposition to the cross is the cresent. <br />Thanks,<br />DanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
