Not really. He was a prince in a branch of Judaism that often lists Jesus as a prophet. Kinda. You’re gonna have to hit Wikipedia or YouTube. Religion for breakfast maybe?
Sabianism is interesting, because I’ve read (don’t recall the source, sorry!) that they had a chance to convert to Islam or die, so they became “technically” Muslim, without really being Muslim. I don’t really know though, but if you can toss me any educational links about it, I’d really appreciate it.
He didn’t. He is still the Jewish prophet for the Jewish cult offshoot that was then a branch of Judaism and is now called Christianity. Original christians are really Jews with some extra lore on top. But people are people and people are tribal and they need someone band against together, so now we have a plethora of different abrahamic religions that are all pissy and nasty against each other.
Never - he was a Jewish prophet. Christianity was invented by Paulus.
Why did a jewish prophet become the spokesperson for a different religion?
Mohammed did the same thing. It’s how many religions branch off.
Wait could you explain that one more?
I read his biography before and explicitly remember him becoming a Muslim at 40.
Before that he was either hanif or agnostic depending on sources but I don’t remember him following Judaism.
I’m gonna send you to Religion for Breakfast and Useful Charts on YouTube. I don’t remember this well enough offhand
Mohammad was a jew?
Judaism, Christianity and Islam all are abrahemitic religions and share the same roots, so pretty much, yes
Although I’m not that versed with the story of Mohammed
Edit: basically Islam and Christianity developed out of Judaism, but they differ in who they see as the promised Messiah

I don’t think so, but Islam was heavily influenced by Judaism, Zoroastrianism, and Sabianism back in the day if they meant that.

It was convenient. Him being already dead, he couldn’t get in the way.
