Dari analisis jelas Muhammad mau menjadi pendeta kristen aliran ini, percaya pada Tuhan secara monotheis atau tauhid. Tapi sayangnya kristen aliran Paulus tidak mau terima, maka akhirnya Muhammad memisahkan diri mendirikan agama sendiri yang mengadopsi tatacara dan ajaran di Arab utara. Jadi kalau Kristen-Paulus itu menyerap Yunani dan Laut Tengah, Islam menyerap ajaran Nasrani monoteis dan Yahudi yang ada di sekitar Arab bagian utara. Jadi Muhammad itu dari kacamata pengikut Isa tidak salah niatnya, tapi caranya itu yang salah, yaitu dengan pasukan bersenjata merampoki dan menyerang kota2 dan mengislamkan mereka. Ternyata metode ini sukses. Maka jadilah sampai sekarang, orang terilhami kesuksesan Muhammad lalu melakukan hal yang sama. Jelas juga kenapa kalau Islam dihina jawabannya adalah senjata atau hukuman. Jelas kalau mereka dianiaya, jawaban mereka adalah kekerasan. Kekerasan itu embedded, terekam jejaknya mulai dari Muhammad, anak cucu dan penerusnya yang terus menerus bunuh2an hingga sekarang. Itulah balada nabi yang tertolak tapi sukses berinovasi memakai cara kekerasan dan hukum syariat. Dua hal itu sudah diganti oleh Isa Almasih ketika beliau membatalkan hukum agama Yahudi dan menggantinya dengan spiritualitas. Tapi Muhammad mundur kembali lagi pada hukum agama Yahudi lama itu (kalau kalian bandingkan praktek dan prinsip agama Yahudi jaman dulu di Perjanjian Lama Bible dengan Al-Quran kalian akan mendapati banyak sekali kesamaan. --- In [email protected], "pemerhatidunia" <pemerhatidunia@...> wrote: > > Kristen booming di China, kemungkinan karena central values orang China > (buddhist) tidak banyak beda dari Kristen. > > Lalu bagaimana dengan Indonesia?? > > Bisakah Islam dikembalikan pada akarnya, Muhammad di Mekkah, aliran pengikut > Isa yang monotheist, seperti halnya para murid Jesus yang Yahudi, aliran > Kristen Arianisme di Mesir, atau Kristen aliran MONOTHEIS atau aliran TAUHID > sebagaimana diajarkan oleh manusia ISA ALMASIH ??? > > Pengikut Isa itu sejak dulu terpecah menjadi 3 (tiga) aliran besar: > > 1.
