Re: [TruthTalk] Islam is based on Law

[Christine Miller]

Actually Judy, I find it fascinating to see the commonalities Islam shares with Mormonism. Both say the same thing about authority: it went well for a little while, but then they dropped the ball. They are both consumed with good works. And you brought up another: the likeness of the "revelations." I guess man-made religions will always resemble one another.

Hey Pete,

Do the ones teaching these courses consider the fact that Islam is based on a false revelation given to Mohammad

in a desert cave by an "angel of light" which is similar to the way Joseph Smith received his revelation prior to

translating and penning the Book of Mormon.  Neither know anything about God or His will, they are walking in

deception after having been deceived.

Hey Christine.

 

Good to hear from you! 

 

You certainly are on the right track here.  I took a course on Islam taught by someone who lived in the Middle East.  As you are finding out, it is primarily based on works and not faith.  Islamic law has been seen as the blueprint to guiding Muslims' correct action, that is, what to do in their public and private lives in order to realize God's will.  Sufism try to experience a more direct and personal sense of God.  Sensing God and knowing Him are two completely different things.
