Title: other religions and satan
Post by: peachykeen on April 29, 2004, 06:08:20 PM
Can we assume that any religion other than Christianity is from Satan?  

"Some time ago Theudas appeared, claiming to be somebody, and about four hundred men men ralied to him.  He was killed, and all his followers were dispersed, and it all came to nothing.  After him, Judas the Galilean appeared in the days of the census and led a band of people in revolt.  He too was killed, and all his followers were scattered.  Therefore, in the present case I advise you: Leave these men alone! Let them go!  For if their purpose is of human orgin, it will fail.  But if it is from God, you will not be able to stop these men; you will only find yourselves fighting against God." -(Gamaliel) Acts 5: 36-39

At a bible study I went to a couple nights ago, Islam came up and the teacher pointed out that, although many people claim that Allah is the same as our God (or they pray to the same God), he is not.  Because of this, we know that God didn't start this religion, does it mean Satan did?  

My teacher said yes, but does it mean they worship Satan, thinking he is Allah, or are they praying to a God that doesn't exist?     ???
