ALLAH WAS THE REAL FOUNDER OF CHRISTIANITY. Allah raised Jesus to himself.[Quran 3:55] Allah said, "O Jesus, I am terminating your life, & raising you to Me Allah, & clearing you of those who disbelieve. And I will make those who follow you superior to those who disbelieve, until the Day of Resurrection." Then Allah tricked the Romans into thinking they put real Jesus on trial. Allah tricked the jews into thinking they crucified & killed Jesus.Allah tricked the christians by replacing the real Jesus with a fake Jesus and then tricked Christians into thinking real Jesus was resurrected.Then after 500 yrs,he told an illiterate that Jesus did not die on the cross but Allah took Jesus to himself. [Quran 3:45] The Angels said, "His name is the Messiah (one who saves), Jesus, well-esteemed in this world and the next." Then 500 years after he founded Christianity, Allah founded Islam to kill the Jews,the christians & all disbelievers. [Quran 9:5].

@@einsteinone5380 Einstein here is so dumb he doesn't realize his own argument of time is exactly what Jesus himself did. How long after Malachi was the NT written? Approximately 500 years. So for 500 years, Jews had no concept of a triune God and then all of a sudden, the God who said he is not a man , nor son of man, is a man. Ironically, Jesus is referred to as a man and also as a son of man often. Einstein here is so good at relativity and e= mc² that he didn't realize how he doesn't believe in his own argument because he ignores the exact same thing when it comes to the NT and OT 😂. Einstein exposed his hypocrisy 😂

[@egyptianplayerstv891]

@@einsteinone5380 I read your entire response and I see a tremendous amount of problems in it. From my understanding since you’re talking about Jesus (peace be upon him), you’re a Christian. It’s really weird that this comes from a Christian giving the fact that your doctrine is the most illogical doctrine on earth taken from the pagans who believe that God was 3 and came in the form of a human, how convenient? When we’re discussing such issues, we should first go over the basic topics to reach Jesus’s destination. Since Islam claims the event was a miracle “it appeared unto them”. So logically if Islam is true then whatever is says is true and Allah knows the destination of his prophet. We should first compare the doctrine of Islam believing in only one God vs Christianity that believes in 3 in 1. We should ask questions about if it’s logical in the first place or not. How can the basic doctrine become so illogical and God wants us to believe in his religion? Why do I need binary numbers and philosophical mental gymnastics to believe in God? Truth should be accessible everywhere with basic logic like in Islam. If God is illogical then why did he create logic for us? It’s also impossible that God comes out of a vagina of a women to become imperfect. These are two contradictory states and if you believe in the law of contradiction you can’t accept such doctrine. If God is perfect then how can he become imperfect? The Bible says: no one knows the hour except the father. This is enough to show how also the 3 are not coequal. Also, as mentioned before 3 persons cannot be 1. If you insist it can then we have to at least acknowledge how illogical it is and how unfair God is to make it that hard. About unfairness: You believe that the laws of the Old Testament were only applicable for the people who lived before Jesus but after he came and died for people’s sins you can do whatever as long as you believe and you don’t have to follow any laws. That’s unfair to the people who lived before Jesus!!! Then we should discuss salvation and how problematic it is. Why would Jesus be punished for something he didn’t do? In Islam, every soul is judged based on what it did or inspired and God doesn’t need to k1ll anyone to forgive. This is more logical than Christianity and I’m sure you can acknowledge this. If I slap you on the face, I’m sure you’d want me to be the one who should be punished. This is enough and according to logical criteria it would dismiss Christianity as a false “unfair” religion. I’m 100% confident you will not be able to address these points in a logical way because no one can. Your doctrine is illogical, unfair and doesn’t make sense. Let’s acknowledge that Islam is not the first religion to make that claim. Historically there were gnostic Christians from as early as first and second century who believed that Jesus wasn’t crucified. Basilidies is a famous example. So islam isn’t the first to make such claim as some Christians say. Maybe you say why would God wait 578 years to send a prophet to tell people about the fact that Jesus was saved? You also believe that God left people from Adam to Abraham (2000 years) without any prophets! Also, in Islam no one will be punished until Allah sends a messenger so no one will be punished for believing as they didn’t know. By the way, there’s no such doctrine or verse that explicitly says this in the Bible. Most importantly how do you tell God what he does? Romans 9:20 “But who are you, a human being, to talk back to God? “Shall what is formed say to the one who formed it, ‘Why did you make me like this?’” Let’s now discuss your alleged claim that it’s unfair that Allah “tricked” them: I don’t see it as a problem at all that Jesus (peace be upon him) came to this world with a miracle and will leave it with another miracle. In the bible, they tried to k1ll Jesus peace be upon him at least twice. Once when they tried to stone him and the other when they wanted to throw him from a mountain. From my understanding and reading the exegesis, Jesus (peace be upon him) was saved by God using miracles. It’s extremely possible that he was saved again by God. Muslims agree and say that also Allah saved him by another third miracle in the crucifixion incident. But, why does Allah “trick” them? The sons of Israel are the killers of the prophets peace be upon them as Jesus called them and the Romans are the oppressors who wanted to kill the prophet of God. The sons of Israel also removed from the book what they wanted to remove and corrupted it. Matthew 23:37 “Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who k1ll the prophets and stone those sent to you…” They k1lled the prophets in the most brutal way. Hebrews 11:37 states, “Some died by stoning, some were sawed in half, and others were killed with the sword” Can you imagine sawing a prophet of God in half? So who did Allah “trick”? They’re the ones who rejected him after all these miracles and tried to kill him. They’re the ones who lead themselves astray by knowing Jesus, peace be upon him, is a prophet and rejected the clear prophecies. Allah says in 7:146: “I will turn away from My signs those who act unjustly with arrogance in the land. And even if they were to see every sign, they still would not believe in them. If they see the Right Path, they will not take it. But if they see a crooked path, they will follow it. This is because they denied Our signs and were heedless of them.” I believe this is extremely consistent with the Islamic perspective. May Allah guide us

You got the wrong impression , Dr Ali doesn't change his position . Maybe you didn't pay enough attention.

Exodus 3: 1-15 Now Moses kept the flock of Jethro his father in law, the priest of Midian: and he led the flock to the backside of the desert, and came to the mountain of God, even to Horeb. And the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush: and he looked, and, behold, the bush burned with fire, and the bush was not consumed. And Moses said, I will now turn aside, and see this great sight, why the bush is not burnt.4 And when the Lord saw that he turned aside to see, God called unto him out of the midst of the bush, and said, Moses, Moses. And he said, Here am I. And he said, Draw not nigh hither: put off thy shoes from off thy feet, for the place whereon thou standest is holy ground. Moreover he said, I am the God of thy father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. And Moses hid his face; for he was afraid to look upon God. And the Lord said, I have surely seen the affliction of my people which are in Egypt, and have heard their cry by reason of their taskmasters; for I know their sorrows; And I am come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians, and to bring them up out of that land unto a good land and a large, unto a land flowing with milk and honey; unto the place of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites. Now therefore, behold, the cry of the children of Israel is come unto me: and I have also seen the oppression wherewith the Egyptians oppress them. Come now therefore, and I will send thee unto Pharaoh, that thou mayest bring forth my people the children of Israel out of Egypt. And Moses said unto God, Who am I, that I should go unto Pharaoh, and that I should bring forth the children of Israel out of Egypt? And he said, Certainly I will be with thee; and this shall be a token unto thee, that I have sent thee: When thou hast brought forth the people out of Egypt, ye shall serve God upon this mountain. And Moses said unto God, Behold, when I come unto the children of Israel, and shall say unto them, The God of your fathers hath sent me unto you; and they shall say to me, What is his name? what shall I say unto them? And God said unto Moses, I Am That I Am: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I Am hath sent me unto you. And God said moreover unto Moses, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, the Lord God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath sent me unto you: this is my name for ever, and this is my memorial unto all generations. Where is Allah in this conversation? 1 God is in his own creation talking to Moses from a physical object. 2 God has given Moses the name which he is to known 3 God reaffirms this name by stating it is forever and for all generations. 1 Allah cannot enter his own creation according to Islam 2 Allah is not the name given to Moses (neither are the other 98 attributed to him ). 3 This name will not change. Until Islam can rectify the fact (a billion Hadiths won’t cover this up) that the God of Abraham,Isaac,Jacob and Moses is in the wrong place ,has the wrong name and is talking in the wrong language then it really cannot be claiming anything about the resurrection of Jesus. That’s Jesus not Issa son of Mary not Maryam. You may as well throw the Book of disaster onto the burning bush because Moses hasn’t got a clue who you are talking about. I Am - Eheyeh - אֶהְיֶה

A little comparison between the 2 holy books: 1- The Bible: It is separated into 2 parts, the Old Testament and the New Testament, and was written over the course of 1500 years by many authors who contributed to the authoring of the bible. The Old Testament’s introduction is claimed to have been written by Moses and the rest was written by many different authors over many centuries BC, but historians and archeologists don’t know who the authors of the Old Testament, the stories that would later become the Bible were transferred by word of mouth across centuries, in the form of oral tales and poetry among the tribes of Israel, Eventually, these stories were collected and written down, concluding that it was written by waves of scribes during the first millennium BC, it took 900 years to write the old testament. The New Testament: They were written between approximately 70 and 100 AD, 1- The first, Mark does not mention virgin birth and was written (not by the disciple) 70-73 years after Christ’s death. 2- In both Matthew 80-90 and Luke 93-100 years after his death, add the claim of virgin birth so early. 3- John dates 100- 118 years after Christ's death They are written not as eyewitness accounts. Over 30,000 changes in The New Testament according to (t.ly/tP12g ). -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- John Barton (a British Anglican priest and biblical scholar): Q1: How reliable is the Old Testament as a historical document? A: Some parts, of the Old Testament, contain some real historiography, even though it may not all be accurate. Q2: When was the Old Testament assembled into the book it is today? A: Probably during the first century BC, and for a long time, it was a collection of individual scrolls, not a single book between two covers. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Most scholars agree that they are the work of unknown Christians and were composed c. 68-110 AD. The majority of New Testament scholars also agree that the Gospels do not contain eyewitness accounts; but that they present the theologies of their communities rather than the testimony of eyewitnesses (rb.gy/f38yfn ). -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Bible is full of contradictions: (t.ly/MDhal ) (t.ly/CPzMI ). The Gospel of John is a relatively late theological document containing little accurate historical information that is not found in the three synoptic gospels, which is why most historical studies have been based on the earliest sources Mark and Q. (t.ly/dxAV7 ) Stories in the bible that are just not good for a holy book: 1- When Lot offers to send his daughters out to be raped by the angry crowd, and then later on they have sex with their father. 2- When God and his son Satan make a bet and kill all of Job’s kids to see how he handles it, but it’s not a big deal, because after God wins Job gets a new bunch of kids. Good thing children are so replaceable?! 3- The contradictory creation stories, where Man is either created first or last, depending on which part of Genesis you’re reading. 4- The bit where it states when and how you can sell your daughter as a slave. Or the one where it tells you to kill your children if they’re rude to you. The Ebionites were one of several such sects that originated in and around Palestine in the first centuries AD and included the Nazarenes and Elkasites (70 AD - 400 AD), they believed in one God and taught that Jesus was the Messiah and were the true “prophet” mentioned in Deuteronomy 18:15. They rejected the Virgin Birth of Jesus, instead holding that he was the natural son of Joseph and Mary. The Ebionites believed Jesus became the Messiah because he obeyed the Jewish Law. (t.ly/H7-Ye ) Conclusions: The bible is not a reliable source of belief nor a reliable source of history due to the changes that happened to it over the course of 3000 years which I believe can not be the case for a real holy book from an almighty god, and the trinity was debatable in the first centuries of Christianity and it’s not mentioned in the bible explicitly though it’s the main belief of Christianity. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2- Quran: In Islamic belief, it was the Messenger Muhammad who received the revelation directly. There is no other human intervention in the revelation, only (God => Gabriel => Muhammad). The story of how we got the Quran from the prophet to the book we have today is agreed upon by all Islamic sources and there are no Disagreements between them unless in some small details that are not really that effective in the course of the story. Transferring the Qur’an was done in two ways: First: The writing that was done for the Qur’an was done by order of the Messenger, for notable people to whom this matter was entrusted. The Messenger did not die until the entire Qur’an was written in his house, on boards of wood, bone, some papers, and stone, due to the scarcity of availability of papers at that time. Second: Memorizing it through oral transmission from the great reciters and memorizers of the Companions. Those in turn received it from the Messenger, who approved of how to pronounce and perform it, it’s worth mentioning that the Quran has its unique style that makes you able to memorize it easily even if you aren’t a native Arabic speaker, and that’s agreed upon by Muslims throughout history. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- How the compilation of the Qur’an was done: 1- The Holy Qur’an was collected in one book during the reign of Abu al-Siddiq (the first Caliph), may God be pleased with him, because a lot of the memorizers of the Qur’an were killed in wars during that time, and they feared that the Qur’an would be lost. So Omar ibn al-Khattab suggested writing the Qur’an in one book. Abu Bakr initially opposed the idea because of his fear that he would do something that the Prophet had not done. After that, he sent Zaid bin Thabit to collect everything that was written as a piece of the Qur’an and collect it all in one book, and the way he did it simply by announcing that he would collect the Quran so if anyone had a copy of it written directly from the prophet bring it to him so he can review it with what is already memorized of the Quran (and it’s worth mentioning that he was one of the known memorizers of the Quran), then the whole Quran was collected in one book by 650 CE, which is 20 years after the death of Mohammed. 2- The Holy Qur’an was collected in a number of copies during the reign of Uthman. Another problem arose during the reign of Caliph Uthman, which was the multiplicity of tongues and the fear that the Qur’an would be distorted due to the story that the Muslims used when they differed in the way of reading the Qur’an. So he made a unified copy from which one could write, and he wrote the copies from the copy that was written in Abu Bakr’s ruling period which was written 20 years after the death of Mohammed, and it is crucial to mention that the difference was of “how to read” the Quran but the meaning was subtle to all. (t.ly/dOj4Z ) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Prophet died in the seventh century AD, and any copy of the Hafs narration from the 8th century until now is all the same without differences, but a manuscript at the University of Birmingham matches the text we have by 99%, and in a manuscript from Yemen called Sana’a Manuscript it matches by 95% ( The difference is just in the words, but they contain the same meaning. It is not known whether the two of them were before or after the Uthmani Qur’an. Therefore, we are not able to determine with 100% accuracy their origins. (t.ly/TamjN ) And there are some Nmircal Miracles that implicitly prove that the Qur’an wasn’t edited (rb.gy/ylhh6y ) (t.ly/RAIj9 ), though they aren’t really a main miracle of the Quran and a lot of people (Muslims and non-muslims) believe that it’s just a coincidence that those patters exist but I find them interesting. Reasons why it was hard to add something to the Quran over the course of all those many centuries: (t.ly/3gD-4 ). Reasons why Mohammed couldn’t write the Quran by himself (rb.gy/ze470g ). -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- It took 1500 for the bible to be written in the form of a book for the first time. The Quran took 20 years after the death of Mohammed. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- It's normal to edit the bible in Christianity, it's forbidden to edit the Quran in Islam. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Islam = Evidence of it being from no human being + Solid Construction that preserved the Scriptures + Faith Christianity = Little Evidence of it being from god + No Solid Construction that preserved the Scriptures + Faith ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- thanks for reading (;

@@Trashjism9 convince me otherwise if you may 🫥

[@Trashjism9]

@Y1SS2N Trying to convince a religious zealot of anything that contradicts their beliefs is typically an exercise in futility. But in short, ALL Abrahamic religions are misguided in their beliefs. The Jews invented monotheism. Originally, they adopted their beliefs from the Pagan Canannite pantheon that existed in the region. The patriarchal figure of the pantheon was 'El', and he gifted many nations of the regions to his children, who were the lesser gods. Israel was gifted to Yahweh, and it wasn't until centuries later that they claimed he was "the one true god," and thus, monotheism was born. That is the true origin of all Abrahamic faiths, including Christianity and Islam. So while you're arguing over which Abrahamic faith is the correct one, it's obvious to everyone with a brain who has done their research, that's it's all a fairytale that evolved from simple pagan origins.

[@priyanka5316]

How is it respectful to Christians? A diatribe on how Christ did NOT die for our sins, which negates a whole cornerstone in Christianity? See, "prophet" Mohammed practiced violence, he lived comfortably, had many wives, enjoyed great status on this earth, so of course the suffering, self sacrificing Christ who performed miracles and healed people, as well as prophesying, doesn't make Mohammed look so holy. So the answer, and this is why it is taught in Islam, is that the Jewish Messiah wasn't such a big deal. He didn't die for us, he didn't suffer, etc. We got it all wrong, you see. No, this man is indeed brilliant, and he impressed people easily, but when you make such an effort to criticize someone else's sincere beliefs, beliefs that are supported by facts, when you find it necessary to further your cause by downgrading others, then you have shown that your own faith cannot stand on its own merit. If he can't promote Islam, instead has to tear down Christianity with fabrications lacking proof? He has just fully exposed either his own lack of faith in Islam, or Islam actually has very little to promote itself. Sad that so many are decieved by this common trick.

The expressions "son of God" and "begotten of God" are allegorical THROUGHOUT the Bible and are NOT LITERAL. Again, the Creator does NOT have to have someone killed in order to forgive the sins of human beings.

And I will make those who follow you superior to those who disbelieve, until the Day of Resurrection." Then Allah tricked the Romans into thinking they put real Jesus on trial. Allah tricked the jews into thinking they crucified & killed Jesus.Allah tricked the christians by replacing the real Jesus with a fake Jesus and then tricked Christians into thinking real Jesus was resurrected.Then after 500 yrs,he told an illiterate that Jesus did not die on the cross but Allah took Jesus to himself. [Quran 3:45] The Angels said, "His name is the Messiah (one who saves), Jesus, well-esteemed in this world and the next."

He seems like a smart well read guy. His information was accurate and it was fun for me to get a Muslim perspective of Paul and Jesus. The only unfortunate part was that he was using the Quran to guide his interpretation of the evidence. I think he said, "this proves the Quran is true" or some variation of that sentence at least half a dozen times. It is never a good idea to begin historical analysis with a desired outcome in mind because you can and will find the answers that you are looking for. I noticed that happening a few times in this interview. All in all, i thoroughly enjoyed this talk. Thank you for sharing.

I am at a point in my life where I am searching for truth. I believe that no one died on the cross as the body was taken down after 6 hours. As we all know a person who is dead does not blead and yet whoever was on the cross bled from his side when the guard poked him wth the spear. So the bible also proves what Muslims are saying.

[@aprylvanryn5898]

As a born Muslim with a rudimentary understanding of Arabic, its very educative and revealing to listen to Dr. Ali, for the following reasons, 1) His understanding of Hebrew along with Arabic is complimentary. 2) His profound conviction in Qur'an and Orthodox Islam, makes him more authentic, than say someone like Imran Hossein, who tries to twist and turn alleged crucifixion narrative to harmonise with Quranic narrative. 3) His Hebrew pronunciation appears to be more understandable, than say Rabbi Tovia Singer's. This could be due to his Arabic background. 4) Dr Ali Ataei's original research and and critical analysis of the gospels and challenging its core foundation is unprecedented. This is very unlike Islamic Daees like Shaikh Ahmed Deedat and Dr Zakir Naik and their followers, who tries to maintain or accept, for the sake of argument, the gospels or major part of it could be divine. 5) Dr Ali Ataei's discourse has taken me out of the spell of Rabbi Tovia Singer. I think BT should make small clips of Dr Ali under specific titles and headings, more like Outreach Judaism and put on KZbin. This way it will reach wider audience 6) Last point is a request. I request Dr Ataei to address the stand and theology of Orthodox Judaism, specially those of the like of Rabbi Singer, who on one hand appears to be friendly with Islam and ambiguous about Prophet Muhammad and Qur'an, but reiterates the infallibility of Israeli tribe, it's primary importance for the salvation of mankind. Moreover Rabbi Singer claims that, Qur'an itself commands Jews to uphold Torah, hence they need not accept Islam or follow Prophet Muhammad for salvation. .. Thank you Dr Ali and Mr Paul Williams.

Raised as a Baptist; later left that denomination. Have questioned several teachings, but don't have many people to discuss this with. It does bother me that my fellow Christians focus on worshipping Jesus when God says not to worship any other; and it bothers me that they focus so much on the crucifixtion of Jesus(saying that is what saves us). I have felt ashamed for questioning these teachings since I was raised & live deep in the Bible belt. I know of only one person who feels the same as I do. The protestant church uses guilt and fear as a way to keep us in line. It is good to know that I am not alone in these beliefs. I have been so afraid and confused!😢

[@MW-qt1ml]

1:31:00 Dr. Ataie makes a good point here. I can add that If people criticise the Muslim opinion, saying that "why would Paul ever invent a dead messiah?", I have another question for them: What kind of a Jew would ever invent a dying and rising saviour man-god as the Messiah? This is total and unambiguous blasphemy according to Jewish law. Paul said many crazy things. Why would we be surprised if his claim about a "dead messiah" sound strange?

Did he bring up the "Substitution Theory"??

[@luisbergantino1207]

The Bible says that He was crucified. One example is 1 Corinthians 1:23 where the Koiné Greek word "stauroo" is used. For anyone who has studied Ancient Greek, he or she would know that in Greek the verbs do not go into tenses in order to describe the actions, but that the words go into declinations in order to describe it: Thus, they have the nominative, genitive, dative, punitive declinations describing whether the action is being carried by a person, carrying out the action on another person, seeing the action being carried out by another person. In this case, what Paul is saying is that Jesus was nailed on a cross. Furthermore, we also have the historical recolection of the events by non-Christian historians, like Tacitus, who wrote about Jesus crucifixion, not in Koiné Greek, but in Ancient Latin (the language of the Roman Empire) In his book, Annals, he said: "auctor nominis eius Christus Tibero imperitante per procuratorem Pontium Pilatum supplicio adfectus erat," which mean that Jesus had been condemned to the highest punishment at the time ("supplicio adfectus erat"), which, if you know history of the Roman Empire at the time, outside of any religious book, you'd know that it was the crucifixion of the people being punished. Furthermore, since his crucifixion, death and resurrection, Jesus' apostles carried on His commission to "make disciples of the whole world" and in order to do so, they had disciples, some of whom, they instituted as bishops. Some examples are Ignatius, who was a direct disciple of St. John the Apostle, and whom he appointed as Bishop in Antioch; and Polycarp, whom John appointed as Bishop of Smirna. Ignatius fought the heretics of the time, whom denied Jesus being God and Man at the same time, or that God had come in the flesh, or that He died or resurrected. He wrote that "Jesus was truly born in the flesh, that He was truly CRUCIFIED and that He resurrected." In this channel, in order to denie these things, the man in the video recouses to quoting the heretics of the time and a teaching that came 600 years after Jesus was crucified and resurrected, telling us that a man who didn't know Jesus personally, knew more about Him than the people who knew Him and who were disciples of His disciples.

And I will make those who follow you superior to those who disbelieve, until the Day of Resurrection." Then Allah tricked the Romans into thinking they put real Jesus on trial. Allah tricked the jews into thinking they crucified & killed Jesus.Allah tricked the christians by replacing the real Jesus with a fake Jesus and then tricked Christians into thinking real Jesus was resurrected.Then after 500 yrs,he told an illiterate that Jesus did not die on the cross but Allah took Jesus to himself. [Quran 3:45] The Angels said, "His name is the Messiah (one who saves), Jesus, well-esteemed in this world and the next."
