For centuries man has worshiped nature, the night sky, the stars, personified the constellations. Astrotheology tells us that all religions are derived from a common source: The Sun.
It was true to me, that in the past, astronomers could predict the weather and the rain, the harvest seasons, everything. So they personified the sky and made religions, to deceive the emperors into thinking that they had some divinity in them ("I can predict the Sun will disappear tomorrow, unless you offer me 30 pieces of silver!"). However, looking deep into Islam: Islam has zero pagan astrotheological concepts! I always wondered, all these books on comparative mythology, mention so little about Islam. Then I realized, OH! Moslems were masters at astronomy! After I read a verse from the Qur'an on Osama Abdullah's site, I realized, Islam actually tells us in the Qur'an that the moon can be used as a calendar!. Islam does NOT have ANY astrology-related worship. It is truly a miracle that Islam was not founded on deception like Hinduism, ancient Mythology, Christianity, etc.
In fact, this had caused some people to lie that Moslems worship the moon, and I know now that truly that is not the case!
Correct, I am a student of comparative religion.
All movements today begun as monothiest because messengers/prophets were sent to ALL nations for their people, but Prophet Muhammad (Peace and blessings be upon him) was sent to all of mankind.
If you research Pauline Christianity and it's roots, you will realise that Paul was a freemason who incorporated so much crap into the message of Islam, i.e submitting to the creator (God Allmighty) alone. But the movement of the sabbath for example to Sun-DAY is a pagan incorparation (As in the day the Christians go to church), the trinity also exists amongst other religions too, it never began in 'Pauline' Christianity, it existed before within Nimrod (Nimrod the son, his mother the base, and the spirit) and also between the pagan hindu Gods (Which still exists today), long story short the message of Isa (Jesus) peace be upon him was hijacked with the pagan romans infiltrating it, they tried to do it to Islam (Not the romans necessarily) with Shiite Islam for example.
Even Judaism today has been hijacked, yes hijacked, the Talmud for example, is mostly the base of Judaism, most Jews today think that the talmud outlines the Torah and that the Torah should not be followed anymore, in fact, the Star of David according to research, is NOT connected to David (King Dawood) or King David, but it is a symbol linked directly to freemasonry.
Infact, the roman calender (Gregorian calender is incorporated in western countries today too, and the base of the days are based on paganism too), but Islamic countries as a base use the Lunar Calender, which is more accurate as a whole.
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Fri-day ETC - All based upon paganism, Saturn-day, Sun-day.
But the days of the islamic calender are Day 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7. (Something along those lines, I will reconfirm it).
Jesus (Peace be upon him) never claimed divinity or was never resurrected (that's all bogus), it's all connected to the pagan Gods. The resurrection concept exists among the pagan Gods (I.e resurrecting 3 days after death etc).
If you want the origins of the Pauline Christianity I'm happy enough to present it to you, i.e the divinity of Jesus finally chosen at the year 325 AD where they also choice what gospels should be chosen etc.
The earliest followers of Jesus (Peace be upon him) recognized and saw him as a MIGHTY messenger sent by God, NOT GOD himself.
May God guide you.
