Nearly every “Christian” cult has a hand reaching back into the OT (or worse).
They do NOT fully accept Christ.

The next tome tells of many kings
Shows Solomon knew a lot of things
Lists his good temple prayer
Says Queen Sheba was there
And Elijah a victory brings.

ON THIS DATE
Samuel Marinus Zwemer was born 4/12/1867, Vriesland, MI, 13th child of a full-blooded Dutch couple. His father pastored the local Dutch Reformed Church & mother dedicated Samuel to God “as she laid him in his cradle.” He graduated from Hope Academy & College (BA) & New Brunswick Seminary (BD 1890).
Still at Hope he offered himself for work among the Muslims. He & his classmate, James Cantine, moved to Basra on the Persian Gulf & later moved the mission to Cairo. Arabia & Egypt were home for him from 1890-1929, first doing evangelism then writing/publishing. He became known as “The Apostle to Islam.” Though he personally saw few Moslems converted he showed the need to reach them & inspired others.
It was while Zwemer was a part of the Church Missionary Society in Arabia (1890-1913) that he met Amy Elizabeth Wilkes. He & this fellow missionary were married 5/18/1896. 1929-1937. He was professor of the history of religion & Christian missions at Princeton Theological Seminary & later taught at the Biblical Seminary of New York & at Nyack Missionary Training Institute. He died 4/2/1952.
He called Islam the “Calvinism of the Orient,” & saw their grasp of Monotheism as a great strength AND also a great deficiency; for without an “understanding of the Trinity, God was unknowable and impersonal.”
