Detroit Muslims Want Call to Prayer

[Cerran]

I think you will find that those people you are referring to are Bedouins, Samaritans, some Arabians, etc. And you are correct that they worshiped the same God as did the Jews. But they were not Muslim. Islam was invented hundreds and hundreds of years later with a new god called Allah. He originated from the pagan moon god. Thus the crescent moon on the mosques.

False. You people on these boards need to learn your history.

The early Muslim community did not really have a symbol. During the time of Muhammad Islamic armies and caravans flew simple solid-colored flags generally black, green, or white for identification purposes. In later generations, the Muslim leaders continued to use a simple black, white, or green flag with no markings, writing, or symbolism on it.

It wasn't until the Ottoman Empire that the crescent moon and star became affiliated with the Muslim world. When the Turks conquered Constantinople (Istanbul) in 1453, they adopted the city's existing flag and symbol. Legend holds that the founder of the Ottoman Empire, Osman, had a dream in which the crescent moon stretched from one end of the earth to the other. Taking this as a good omen, he chose to keep the crescent and make it the symbol of his dynasty. There is speculation that the five points on the star represent the five pillars of Islam, but this is pure conjecture.

The Crescent Moon heralds the beginning of the new month and the new year. During the period of Islamic Empire, the crescent moon was adopted as a state emblem. It had nothing to do with religious beliefs. Today, An Eagle is the popular state emblem in U.S.A. Does that emblem represent the religious beliefs of the citizens of U.S.A.?

Islam was invented hundreds and hundreds of years later with a new god called Allah.

Again, false. In the Aramaic language the word for the Almighty God is

Cerran,

it's not me that needs to study history, It's YOU! What a spin, a revisionist spin, you give to this!

When they adopted the crescent moon is highly debatable. Your attempt at pure obfuscation is readily apparent. I said up above they (Islam) has no connection to the Bible or Ishmael. They have no connection to the One True God! Get it???

If you want to defend this FALSE and EVIL RELIGION, be my guest!

So here, enjoy -

By the way,

I just heard on the news that the Detroit City Council has given approval for the Muslims to broadcast their so called "Call to Prayer".

They also said that other City's are now considering this.

Bye bye Ten Commandments! Bye bye God!!!

Hello Islam!

Come soon Lord Jesus.

Rofl it's funny how you only listen to or preach the truth when it suits you. Good luck with that, you'll need it.

God Bless.

Brothers,

Cerran, Faithless, and others are not here to learn about Jesus or what He did for us here on earth. They are here to argue and they feed on your every word. I would like to invite them back to the home page and read the intention of this board; to unite Christians and promote unity in His Word. If that does not describe their intentions, then they would probably feel more at home on a secular board.

To the rest of us, I would suggest we shake the dust and move on.

All for Him,

By NO means can you put Cerran in the same catagory as an aethist. That is totally unwarranted and judgemental. He has posted TOO many testimonies and truths of God, that apparently you are ignorant of to make this call....

If that is truly the intention then start deleting posts that have to do with hating Muslims or other groups. They serve no purpose other than to promote hate.

I serve Christ first and foremost but I also have a duty to the truth. We are all God's children, some may not be saved but we are his children nonetheless.

All that glitters, is not gold.

Sorry that is not scriptural. It might sound like good philosophy, but God's children are those who are believers in Christ, and are therefore the seed of Abraham by faith. The children of God are those who have been saved, period. Everyone else is on the outside looking in. God's children are born again by the Spirit. Even Jesus told the unbelieving Pharisees, "you are of your father, the devil."

We are all God's creation and therefore in the spirit of the word 'creation' we are all God's children. But the terminology of being God's children is different than being 'the Children of God' as used in the Scriptures...there is a difference there, Cerran knows it, I know it, and I would think you would know the difference too...

Ephesians 4

11

And his gifts were that some should be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, some pastors and teachers,

12

to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ,

13

until we all attain to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to mature manhood, to the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ;

14

so that we may no longer be children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the cunning of men, by their craftiness in deceitful wiles.
