Un courant juif aux origines de l'islam ? - Odon Lafontaine [5/6]

Odon Lafontaine answers the question "Is there a Jewish current at the origins of Islam?" in a synthesis combining historical analysis and Quranic study. Such a current did exist. Formal proof is provided by the Quran itself, which describes it as a Jewish current, allied for a time with the Arab "believers," very influential among the Arab faction that captured Jerusalem around 638, and the source of many Quranic teachings. These are the "Nazarenes of the Quran" (called "Judeo-Nazarenes" by Father Édouard Marie Gallez). The presentation was broadcast live on the Jesus the Messiah Forum's YouTube channel on May 8, 2021 (source:    • Odon LAFONTAINE - Un courant juif aux orig...  ), followed by a live Q&A session with viewers (starting at 53:48). --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ▶ Details, explanations, further development, and a bibliography can be found in THE GREAT SECRET OF ISLAM [2020 Edition], available to read and download from https://legrandsecretdelislam.com ▶ Support my work: https://buymeacoffee.com/thegreatsecr... --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ▶ Presentation "A Jewish Current at the Origins of Islam?"
