Here are links and resources and songs and passages from our Shabbat time this week since several had expressed interest in exploring further. Blessings!
Songs:
YouTube:
Also, here is the testimony of the artist for that second one which is powerful and worth watching in its own right:
Videos:
Here is the video we started our study with:
Below are the videos of Dr. Jay Smith’s messages from which an excerpt was included in the video above discussing Mecca and Islam and textual evidence including the well / water situation in Mecca… this is a super deep dive spanning 2 church services and exploring Islam, the Quran, and Mohamed and the lies interwoven in all of that from a scholarly perspective that relates to the modern geopolitical situation in the Middle East as impacting Israel and prophecy. The first video spends quite a bit of time at first looking at Islam as a religion based on the Koran and deals with mature subject matter – including how Islam treats women. WARNING: There are some references to disturbing practices and realities. But it’s good background as he shifts gears near the end of the first video and into dissecting the claims of Islam against the actual factual textual record in the second video.
Additional Resources:
Here are some links I found for reference and additional potential research… cause it sort of begs research with initial findings either having been scrubbed or at least contrary on the surface like the current Wikipedia article describing the waters of the Zamzam well coming from a combo of rain water and aquifer… and the well being currently 100ft deep dug by hand over the years but also inaccessible to the public… it might be a little tricky to verify Dr. Jay Smith’s claims from other online resources under current search engine suppression climates.
- https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zamzam_Well
- https://foclonline.org/user/217/answers-to-questions (More about and from Dr. Smith)
- https://youtube.com/@pfanderfilms (Dr. Smith’s Channel)
- https://www.ias.edu/scholars/patricia-crone (Patricia Crone is the scholar friend Dr. Smith mentions who could read and write all those ancient languages)
- https://www.opendemocracy.net/en/patricia-crone-brief-memoir
It’s also pretty easy to find negative content towards both Dr. Smith and Dr. Crone
