Messianic Judaism and Islam

[Thazri1]

Since Islam just like Jewish-Christian's believe Jesus to be the messiah,but not necessarily a God. Do you think that Islam evolved from a Messianic Jewish branch?

Evolved from is unlikely, but a good chance influenced by, specifically Ebionites.

Ebionites - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Scroll down to the section labeled 'Last days of the Ebionite sect"

Then one of the final entries is labeled 'Islam'

Then again, Islam might have come to the same conclusion as Ebionites independently, the result of viewing Yeshua from a strict monotheistic perspective.

Do you have any more information about Waraqah ibn nawfal, the cousin of Muhammad which is thought to be an Ebionite?

I mean if this cousin was his teacher, than that would be where he got his information from regarding judaism and christianity. Ebionites and Islam both have the same views on Jesus. Islam is basicly Messianic Judaism with a touch of pagan meccan traditions.

Other than the link in the wiki article, I know nothing. Best to ask in the Islam DIR, they probably know much more.

But from the perspective of Ishmael. I doubt they have the concept of Yeshua as Messiah ben Yosef.

Why were the Ebonites considered a Christian sect? They denied core Christian beliefs, like the divinity and virgin birth of Jesus.

Any sect which reveres and follows the teachings of Yeshua will be labeled under the term 'Christian'. Unfortunately.

I am Ebionite, but never Christian.

Wouldnt that technically make Muslims also Christians since they view Jesus as a prophet?

While they do revere him, they follow the teachings of Mohammed, whom they consider the last prophet.

I dont think so. Islam have there Koran, the Messianic Jews have their Bible. Bible and the Koran teaches differently.
