72 Virgins…

72 virgins when you sacrifice yourself for the betterment of Islam? … anyone ever wonder how they came up with that non-sense?

One would have to go back close to 10,000 years to King Gilgamesh and his demise. Funny thing about him and many others having claims on deity. Thinking themselves to be gods, these kings of old or what the bible calls “giants, men of renowned” …they are all dead as door nails.

Gilgamesh (pictured below) was found dead and when the people read his “will” or final wishes he wanted his entire “court” buried with him. His attending “court” was actually a harem of virgins and eunuchs and they were not dead, or even sickly, when Gilgamesh died. Longer story shortened, they were killed and neatly wrapped in funeral cloth and buried with him.

This bizarre practice quickly dissolved as many did not want to be in the kings court knowing what would become of them. These discoveries are found in the clay tablets written in cuneiform from the Mesopotamian dig sites in Iraq/Iran.

This bizarre practice was what enticed Mohammed to include it in the Islam practice to further entice and incite his violent wishes to destroy Israel and all non-muslim beliefs.

This begs the question; knowing this as a part of your cultural history, why would you continue to buy the lie?

First let me say that I am a mere human being that was born into a sinful nature and only by the grace of God almighty and the salvation found in Jesus Christ will I be found acceptable. I pray that you take my words as one weary travelers discoveries and that my intentions are not point fingers at any one denomination or belief system. My life experience has shown me the detailed workings of the Protestant Church to include my participation in seminary and collegiate Bible training, the complete catechism of the Catholic Church and a review of the Quran. None of these were capable of answering many nagging questions concerning the scriptures. After 40 years of "church life" I stopped following the crowds and began a study of the scriptures in the original Hebrew and Greek. Paralleling events in history with the scriptures and deciphering the effect of these events on the lives and theology of the believers. I pray that the information provided here has a three fold effect: 1. provide truth not otherwise provided by the corporate church experience 2. Answer questions that others are either afraid to ask or afraid to answer, and last but not least, 3. bring people to a saving relationship and closer walk with YHVH.
