What was the true purpose of the law?

And what was the real reason Islam was established through Ishmael’s descendants?

We start this episode off with a big announcement!

And then we discover the history behind how Islam became a religion.

What did Gabriel tell Muhammad?

What did Muhammad preach in those early days in Mecca?

Who were his first followers?

Did Muhammad believe the Bible was corrupt?…or that the interpretation of the Bible was corrupt?

Why did the message in the Quran seem to shift when Muslims moved to Medina?

Was Muhammad the fulfillment of Isaiah 29:11-12?

Why did Gabriel tell Muhammad to write down what he said if Muhammad couldn’t read or write?…

Or did he tell Muhammad that at all?

What happened in Medina to cause those verses of the Quran to be about war?

What caused the rift between Islam, Judaism, and Christianity?

What can we learn from this history?

Is it weird that Islam is based on the belief that someone was taken to heaven, and spoke directly to an angel?

How do we know if Muhammad was listening to an evil spirit or the Holy Spirit?

What does the Bible say about testing the spirits?

What does it mean to confess Jesus Christ in the flesh?

And what does it mean to distort the gospel of Christ?

Why is the possessive inflection so important in Greek, and how does it get misunderstood in our English translations of the Bible?

Does the Quran really teach Muslims to kill unbelievers?

What about if they convert away from Islam?

Are violence and selfless love always contradictory?

Do Christians and Muslims worship different Gods because Islam’s God has conditional love? 

What did Jesus mean when he said “Enter by the narrow gate?”

Warning: This episode will make you think.

We’re taking a look at extremism in Islam.

What words and terms do we associate with Islam?

And what do they really mean?

Are God and Allah the same?

Is it fair to lump all Muslims into the same box?

We go through a few of the passages that are used by Islamic extremists to justify violence…

And we compare those verses to what is found in the Bible.

We discuss spousal abuse, terrorism, and the killing of non-Muslims.

How do Muslim scholars interpret these passages?

Do Christians expect outsiders to study Biblical interpretations in order to understand difficult passages in the Bible?

Should Christians then expect the same thing from themselves when it comes to the Quran?

And what does all of this have to do with Aunt Sally’s cake?
