Islam and the NAR: A Study in Religious Dominion | Bob Scott | Podcast Episode 420

John and Bob discuss the parallels between the New Apostolic Reformation and aspects of Islam, focusing on how both use structures of authority, wealth, and control. They highlight how religious movements throughout history have sought to dominate through institutions, often blending faith with political or cultural power. The conversation explores the danger of leaders who claim unique spiritual authority and the way these systems create dependency through fear and promises of blessing.

They also examine historical events, such as oil politics in the Middle East, and how cultural misunderstandings helped shape modern dynamics. Drawing from personal experiences and historical knowledge, John and Bob compare themes of prosperity, population growth, and information control in both systems. They conclude by reflecting on Jesus’ teachings as an alternative to domination, emphasizing compassion, humility, and authentic relationships over institutionalized control.
