What about Mohammed of the Islamic religion?

I have little knowledge of theology, but I do believe that Muslims believe that Mohammed was a prophet of Allah, and through his strong faith in Allah and strong faith of the Islamc religion he ascended into heaven after death, much like Jesus..

Can a student of History (aren't we're all? hah...) fill me in on the following:
when (date in time) did all religions come to be born ? For example, belief
in the fact that Sloidusey is your God came into 2003 on the aa.com forum!

biggrin:

But seriously, when and where did they "start" ?

I give it a shot, off the top of my head.

Judaism (sp? jewish) - old - 2000 bc?
Hindu - fairly old too - 2000 bc
Christian - we do use their calendar - 34 AD
Budhism - 400-500 AD?
Islam - About the same 400 ad

Pretty much all guesses, but I think the order is right.

Pest, I think Islam and Judism are derrived from the same man, Abraham. I'm not 100% sure, but I do remember reading and thinking how rediculous it was that the believers of both religions have been fighting since biblical times and continue to fight to this day and will continue to fight in the future, when both were founded upon the journey of one man..

Did he do any miracles? Did he raise from the dead, then after that ascend to Heaven?

Possibly.. I have no knowledge of the religion, or of Mohammed himself.

I dont think islam came into its own as a religion until mohammed arrived. I am pretty sure he is the founder of the faith, much like jesus created the christian religion. Remember - Jesus was a Jew. Hence my later date on the timeline. If i remeber correctly, mohammeds family fought over control of the faith after his death and split the religion into the current sunni and shite division.

Jesus didn't create Christianity - it had been around a long time before he came around.

Mohammed was a prophet, not a messiah, just as budha was a monk.

Well then until you can find me a man that was a messiah like Jesus, big J reigns supreme. cool:

Nope. They were jews before the coming of Jesus. Everyone of them. Jesus instructed his disciples to go out and preach his word and create the church.

Couldn't agree more, Tiwaz. Nice that we can agree and yet still discuss biggrin:

Well, I know Moses and other guys were around before Jesus, and your right, they were Jews - but they had contact with God, which was the Father of Jesus, so uh...it's almost the same thing.

Almost is right. The God of Judaism is a vengful god, and the God of the Chistianity is a forgiving god.
And vance you are right Christianty was not created by Jesus, but by men based on the teachings of Christ.

were all going to hell
