SUNDAY SCHOOL VIDEO

I've been watching this video series on You Tube for some time, and I thought that they would be great for my Sunday School video posts. However, since there are links to the whole video series, and the website, etc. in the video description, I decided to post only this video. You can find links to the entire series, and the Discovering Religion web site in the sidebar under "Mankind's Many Paths To God".



Video Description From You Tube:

The first installment of my original series "Discovering Religion". In this episode I discuss the apparent conflicts that exist with our present observable reality and our past archaic religious traditions that not only seem to contradict one another, but all that we have discovered through the scientific method.

Note:
The Shia denomination of Islam believes that a young boy by the name of Mahdi, born in 869 CE, is Muhammad al-Mahdi, the Twelfth Imam. The Shia believe Mahdi was hidden by God at the age of five where he remains awaiting for God to proclaim the time of his return.

From wikipedia:
The Twelfth Imam will return as the Mahdi with "a company of his chosen ones," and his enemies will be led by the one-eyed Antichrist and the Sufyani. The two armies will fight "one final apocalyptic battle" where the Mahdi and his forces will prevail over evil. After the Mahdi has ruled Earth for a number of years, Jesus will return.

This is very scary stuff folks! Although not ALL Muslims believe in the Hidden Imam, history is a good indicator that radical views such as these can be extremely dangerous, despite the size of the group adherent to the beliefs.
