Moon God? Sun God? Muslim? Christian?

Question

I keep hearing (and I know it isn't true) that Muslims worship this so called "Moon God". Now.....you and I both know that this isn't true but for those of you who will continue to claim that there is truth is this absurd statement....Answer me this:

Were you aware that the reason most Christians worship on Sunday *which is not the true day of rest* is because before Constantine became a Christian, he worshipped the "Sun God"? Were you aware that the day that we attend church and worship was formed from a pagen ritual?

How would you feel if people started claiming that Christians worshipped the Sun God?

Come on people, knock it off with the bullcrap.

btw, for those of you who think I "pulled that trick out of my hat". I learned this in a Christianity class in college from a Professor with a PHD in World Religions and a Masters of Divinity....sooo...I think he was probably more accurate than you.

Answer 1

$50,000 for the first one that can show even one scripture from any of the bible that the seventh day Sabbath was a Jewish day or that Sunday was made the day of worship by any of the Apostles or Jesus.

Most will tell you it is a Jewish day but where were the Jews when it was made? In one text the bible also says that the woman was made for Man so it the same rules that are used for the Sabbath remain, that means that the only ones that women should be for was the Jew. Contrary to what some may say the Sabbath command is in the New Testament as well as the Old Testament and is prevelant throughout the bible even into the New Earth when there will be no more Earth as we know it now. If you look in the book of Acts you find even the Gentiles or greeks came together with the Apostles and worshipped there on the Sabbath day for over a year or more from one Sabbath to another, not on the first day as some would have you believe.

Answer 2

Christians do not believe in a sun god or a moon god. Our God created both the sun and the moon besides everything else.

Answer 3

Sunday is Sun Day, it is not the Sabbath Day, which falls on a Saturday but the word Saturday, comes from the worshippers of Saturn, the days were named by men not God besides, Sunday was declared worship day by the pagan worshippers, like the Christmas Day, Christ was'nt born on Dec. 25.

Answer 4

Were you aware that the Bible has many references to the early church meeting on Sunday and sharing the sacraments upon that day. That Sunday became special because it's the day the Lord rose from the dead. Many people pull the Constantine trick, because they love conspiracy theories, and he did do some other really shady things. But the fact that Sunday is contained within the Bible as the day the church met seems to take some steam away from your argument.

Answer 5

The commandment in Exodus 20:8-11 states that the seventh day of the week, Saturday, is the day which the Lord selected as the day of rest and worship. However, in the New Testament the Christian church began to worship and rest on the first day of the week, Sunday. Are Christians violating the Sabbath commandment by worshipping on the first day of the week rather than the seventh day? I do not think so.

First, the basis for the command to observe the Sabbath, as stated in Exodus 20:11, is that God rested on the seventh day after six days of work, and that God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it. The Sabbath day was instituted as a day of rest and worship. The people of God were to follow God's example in His pattern of work and rest. However, as Jesus said in correcting the distorted view of the Pharisees, "The Sabbath was made for man, and not man for the Sabbath" (Mark 2:27). The point Jesus made is that the Sabbath was not instituted to enslave people, but to benefit them. The spirit of Sabbath observance is continued in the New Testament observance of rest and worship on the first day of the week (Acts 20:7; 1 Cor. 16:2).

Second, it must be remembered that, according to Colossians 2:17, the Sabbath was "a shadow of things to come, but the substance is of Christ." The Sabbath observance was associated with redemption in Deuteronomy 5:15 where Moses stated, "Remember that you were a slave in the land of Egypt, and that the Lord your God brought you out from there by a mighty hand and by an outstretched arm; therefore the Lord your God commanded you to keep the Sabbath day." The Sabbath was a shadow of the redemption that would be provided in Christ. It symbolized the rest from our works and an entrance into the rest of God provided by His finished work.

Finally, although the moral principles expressed in the commandments are reaffirmed in the New Testament, the command to set Saturday apart as a day of rest and worship is the only commandment not repeated. There are very good reasons for this. New Testament believers are not under the Old Testament Law (Rom. 6:14; Gal. 3:2425; 2 Cor. 3:7, 11, 13; Heb. 7:12). By His resurrection on the first day of the week (Matt. 28:1), His continued appearances on succeeding Sundays (John 20:26), and the descent of the Holy Spirit on Sunday (Acts 2:1), the early church was given the pattern of Sunday worship. This they did regularly (Acts 20:7; 1 Cor. 16:2). Sunday worship was further hallowed by our Lord who appeared to John in that last great vision on "the Lord's day" (Rev. 1:10). It is for these reasons that Christians worship on Sunday, rather than on the Jewish Sabbath.

Answer 6

You all worshipped sun and moon god before your religions where "invented"

Allah was actually the chief of the 360 gods [one for each day of the year] being worshipped in Arabia at the time Muhammad rose to prominence. Ibn Al-Kalbi gave 27 names of pre-Islamic deities...Interestingly, not many Muslims want to accept that Allah was already being worshipped at the Ka'ba in Mecca by Arab pagans before Muhammad came. Some Muslims become angry when they are confronted with this fact. But history is not on their side. Pre-Islamic literature has proved this

Get your facts straight. It is true that Islam is descended from the pagan Arab worship of many gods, including the "moon god", who was a dominant figure in worship. Christianity was indeed tainted by Constantine and pagan beleifs were added to the Christian religion too. I follow neither beleif, Islam or Christianity (although, I do beleive in Jesus Christ) but for you, a lesson in history seems to be in order. Islam is still a brutal cult, as it has been for thousands of years. Ever seen the Saudi Arabian flag? Real peaceful. Here is a detailed history of what their National flag represents: http://www.crwflags.com/fotw/flags/sa_hist.html

Peaceful my lovely black @ss. I've BEEN there. Sell that bs to someone else.

Answer 8

Short: The word Allah was used by Jews and Christian for the term "I am who am" (YHWH). Muhammad used the same word for the author of the Qur'an. If you look at the root of Allah, you will find it was use for Pagan gods. Just as God was used for Odin.

Details: The earliest written form of the Germanic word "god" comes from the 6th century Christian Codex Argenteus, which descends from the Old English guþ from the Proto-Germanic *Ȝuđan. While hotly disputed, most agree on the reconstructed Proto-Indo-European form *ǵhu-tó-m, based on the root *ǵhau-, *ǵhau̯ǝ-, which meant "to call" or "to invoke". "Ghau" itself appears to have derived from a posthumously deified chieftain named "Gaut" —a name which sometimes appears as a name for the Norse god Odin or one of his descendants. The Lombardic form of Odin, Godan, may derive from cognate Proto-Germanic *Ȝuđánaz.

The capitalized form "God" was first used in Ulfilas' Gothic translation of the New Testament, to represent the Greek Theos (uncertain origin), and the Latin Deus (etymology "*Dyeus"). Because the development of English orthography was dominated by Christian texts, the capitalization (hence personalization and personal name) continues to represent a distinction between monotheistic "God" and the "gods" of pagan polytheism. The name "God" now typically refers to the Abrahamic God of Judaism (El (god) YHVH), Christianity (God), and Islam (Allah). Though there are significant cultural divergences that are implied by these different names, "God" remains the common English translation for all. The name may signify any related or similar monotheistic deities, such as the early monotheism of Akhenaten and Zoroastrianism. In the context of comparative religion, "God" is also often related to concepts of universal deity in Dharmic religions, in spite of the historical distinctions which separate monotheism from polytheism —a distinction which some, such as Max Müller and Joseph Campbell, have characterised as a bias within Western culture and theology.
