Quran 4:65 claims you can’t be a real Muslim until you accept everything about Muhammad’s laws with no disagreement. Quran 4:24 (also 23:5-6, 70:28-30) lets Muslim jihadis have $3x sl@ves. Sunan Abi Dawud 2155 & Jami` at-Tirmidhi 3016 (both Sahih) give the background for this verse. It mentions how Muslims didn’t want to have $3x with the women because they were taken. But Muhammad miraculously received a verse saying it’s ok (how convenient). Which is why tafsirs mention them already being married: Tafsir Jalalayn, Quran 4:24, ‘And, forbidden to you are, wedded women…save what your right hands own, of captured [sl@ve] girls, whom you may have s3xual intercourse with, even if they should have *spouses* among the enemy camp…this is what God has prescribed for you…’ Tafsir of Ibn Kathir, Quran 4:24, ‘…(except those whom your right hands possess) except those whom you acquire through war, for you are allowed such women after making sure they are *not* pregnant…you are allowed to use your money to marry up to four wives and for (the purchase of) as many female sl@ves as you like, all through legal means…’ (How in the world were those random soildiers more moral than the supposed greatest man ever (Quran 33:21, 68:4)) So If a Muslim country went to war with a country (Mexico for example), are you telling me it’s ok for Muslim men to take Mexican women as $3x sl@ves?? Which includes your family. Because that’s exactly what Muhammad would’ve done and allowed. Absolutely Disgusting! As a side note since this video includes Bart, who Muslims rely upon heavily for Bible corruption, let’s see what he has admitted about biblical manuscripts: “…of all the hundreds of thousands of textual changes found among our manuscripts, most of them are completely insignificant, immaterial, of no real importance for anything other than showing that scribes cannot spell or keep focused any better than the rest of us” (p 207) “The position I argue for a Misquoting Jesus does not actually stand at odds with Prof. Metzgers’s position that the essential Christian beliefs are not affected by textual variance in the manuscript tradition of the New Testament.” (Misquoting Jesus, 2007 edition, p. 252) He’s also said that Jesus being cruc!fied is one of the most historical things we know and that Jesus making birds from clay in Quran 5:110 is stolen from the lnfancy gospel of Thomas.

[@Jolomon]

Also since you’re Mexican, do you believe your unbelieving parents, siblings and fellow Mexicans are the w0rst of all created beings (Quran 8:55, 98:6)? Yes this verse means what it says. Tafsir Kathir on 8:55 “Allah states here that the worst *moving* creatures on the face of the earth are those who disbelieve, who do not embrace the faith” Even the footnote of a translation (Tafheem-ul-Quran - Abul Ala Maududi) happily explains on 98:6 “The meaning is that…they are worse than *all* creatures of God, *even* than animals” If you say yes, I must admit, that’s a pretty disgusting thing to believe. This really shows the hatred/lack of love of Islam. This is such a damaging mindset to have. Unlike Islam, Christianity believes every single human being is created in the image of the Creator of the universe (Genesis 1:26-28). So humans have an intrinsic value & special view in God’s eyes, ESPECIALLY compared to animals. As Jesus said, “If any of you has a sheep and it falls into a pit on the Sabbath, will you not take hold of it and lift it out? How much more valuable is a person than a sheep!” (Matt 12:11-12) Which is why we’re commanded to love everyone, especially God (Matt 22:34-40 etc). Even love for our enemies (Matt 5:43-48 etc), something absent in Islam. In Christianity, we still see Arabs as made in God’s very own image. And therefore worthy of love and respect. In Islam, Mexicans and Latinos (among many others) are viewed as worse than an ant and a cockroach. Is this the god you believe in? It’s never too late to come back (Luke 15) But because of how true Islam is, don’t forget the penalty for leaving Islam (Sahih al-Bukhari 3017, Sahih al-Bukhari 9:89:271 etc.) Because you know, Islam’s a religion of peace

[@Jolomon]

And if you really believe Islam is true over Christianity you should debate Christian Prince and Sam Shamoun. If you really care about the truth, you should debate them. This way you can bring your strongest proofs for Islam & put it to the test. And you will gain knowledge. Your salvation depends on it! As CP says in his all his descriptions, “We welcome any Muslim (big or small) to our debate ANYTIME we go l!ve”

I recognise this word as a Name to refer to the Holy One, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, of blessed memory. He is the one I worship and obey, in Whom I trust, Who is my Rock and Saviour. There none besides Him. He shares His glory with no one else. I certainly do not accept in any way the notion that somehow my Muslim brothers secretly worship some idol, heaven forbid such an abomination. It is very well possible that in the age of ignorance in the pre-Islamic Arab world some people may have used the generic Semitic word allah for one of their idols. We find among Canaanite nations in the era before the Children of Israel came to the land that God had promised to them, some peoples used similar Semitic words for their idols. It is an unfortunate matter that some Christian apologists spread the false story that Muslimim are idol worshippers, heaven forbid! Muslimim are *extremely* careful to affirm that they worship the same true Almighty Creator, Lord of all the worlds, Whom Adam, Noach, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, David, Solomon and all the prophets of blessed memory acknowledged, knew, served, worshipped, praised and *obeyed* with total faith. He has no wife, son, daughter, nephew, cousin or uncle. He is not a man and has no human form. He is the One Who dwells on High, the All Merciful, All Trustworthy, All Compassionate.

@Faisal Siraj Polycarp and Ignatius of Antioch were disciples of John. They were two successors of the apostles. In light of their association, it would be in accord with tradition to entreat their authority on matters of translation just as Abu Bakr was for Islam. Aboveall, their martyrdom would be the best measure of their fidelty to the christian faith. Here are two quotes, Now may the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the eternal high priest himself, the Son of God Jesus Christ, build you up in faith and truth...and to us with you, and to all those under heaven who will yet believe in our Lord and God Jesus Christ and in his Father who raised him from the dead. (Polycarp, Lettet to the Philippians, at 12.2) Ignatius, who is also Theophorus, unto her which hath been blessed in greatness through the plentitude of God the Father; which hath been foreordained before the ages to be for ever unto abiding and unchangeable glory, united and elect in a true passion, by the will of the Father and of Jesus Christ our God; even unto the church which is in Ephesus [of Asia], worthy of all felicitation: abundant greeting in Christ Jesus and in blameless joy. (Ignatius of Antioch, Letter to the Ephesian, opening greetings) It is unusual that you should bring up christian concepts that are based on the idea of a personal God and self-giving sacrifice. Deedat would agree with me at least that the latter is not qualified in islam (in reference to his disdain on the christian reading of offering the other cheek). The christian concept of sacrifice is based on the Commandment of Love, properly ordered to God, then to humanity in general. The idea of worship is beyond a overt act. Unless you understand latria in proper context, you stray into idolatory. Let's take the example of an extremist who sacrifice himself in violent destruction. His act may be construed as love for God or the pursuit of expedited entry into Jannah. If the latter, Zakir Naik would agree with me that it is idolatrous. As with any document, the bible is not self-evident revelation. It does not interpret nor corrupt itself. Our assumptions corrupts the texts. It is for this reason that every student of christianity must entreat the authority of tradition and the earliest writings and interpretations of the church fathers. We still have the Septuagint, Didache, the two earliest biblical codices as the deposit of faith. These are prestine. If you read the bible cover to cover, the christian message is couched in the language of prophecy anf fulfilment. Some view it as apocalyptic. Many of the earliest church fathers also saw salvation history as the restoration of all things unto God Himself, the immanentization of the eschaton. The earliest christians saw it in the light of God and men seeking reconciliation. It is this reason that the incarnation of Christ Jesus is the central theme, so that in Him, we know there is a humanly possible path to God. In the words of Athanasius, God became man, so man might become god, not in a prideful way, but as a offering of love, of sacrifice, unto Him. I am sorry. But just as I do not pretend to understand Islam, you have very little knowledge of christianity. However, you pretend to know more than you do. "Ignorance more frequently begets confidence, than doex knowledge".

The problem with textual criticism of the NT is that the NT is totally unreliable ss a source in the first place

[@jamesupton4996]

It's a collection of first century texts, with a manuscript history better than most other ancient writings. There isn't a problem with textual criticism for that is what it is: examination of all the texts and fragments extant.

[@think-islam-channel]

@@jamesupton4996 It is a collection of texts with no originals, unknown authors, sparse early manuscripts, unknown authority, subjective criteria for deciding what is Canon and what isn't, filled with inaccurate conflicting accounts, containing paraphrased sayings of Jesus with the inherent issues of loss of meaning in translation, and the insertion of fake verses despite the fact that all scripture is supposedly God breathed, not to mention that it has never been known what exactly is gospel since there is no consensus as to which of the 5500 manuscripts are correct and which the ones with errors. Hardly the impression you were trying to get away with. Finally comparisons are a way off hiding b the truth. The NT is terribly unreliable and saying that it is less unreliable than extremely unreliable other ancient manuscripts is not something that you should be so proud of In reality this is just rhetoric to divert attention from the very serious problems inherent in the NT as touched upon above.

[@jamesupton4996]

@@think-islam-channel I'm aware of all that multiplicity, but in terms of manuscript history there are groupings, so it is not like there are thousands of utterly dissimilar readings. In terms of ancient texts - what does 'original' mean?: we don't have Caesar's Gallic Wars in his own hand, for instance. Some NT authors are not known by name, definitively, Paul is. Luke, as author of the third Gospel and Acts, companion of Paul can be argued for. But then the texts arose from tradition passed through early Christian communities, the Gospels being written when that first link - eyewitnesses- according to the third Gospel, were dying off. As for subjective criteria in the formation of the Canon - that was formed early in the church, through consensus. There are editorial glosses in the texts at points; that's the nature of writing. Some texts are composites - 2Corinthians, some have been edited before the final form we have them in - John's Gospel. Mark is the first written Gospel: Matthew and Luke use it as a source but can be creative in using it. The concept of inspiration, except for those fundamentalist Christians who adhere solely to the King James, does not involve having some Ur-text to appeal to. I'm not seeking to get away with anything - just challenging your 'totally unreliable' claim, on the grounds that like all ancient texts the New Testament is what it is - a set of ancient texts. That in itself does not preclude its authoritative role in the life of the christian churches. In this regard there are two areas to think about: the nature of scripture and the nature of revelation. Both of which are amenable to critical analysis.

[@think-islam-channel]

@@jamesupton4996 Thanks for the reply. Original means the original text written by b the initial author aka the autographs. Agreed that Paul is the only definitely known author. But not all the works supposedly by Paul are by Paul. Also Paul is a contentious character. Not a disciple but his authority comes from himself. A human circular argument. We don't know who the synoptics were written by. We have little evidence for the authorship of the other works except for some of the works of Paul. I fully agree that the writings became important once the eye witnesses died or seemed at risk of dying and the information with them. Or perhaps the expected return of Jesus when it failed to materialise brought into focus the need to record what may have been mainly oral accounts circulating at the time. Canon : consensus of the church fathers is a subjective criterion. Which Church fathers? How rigorous? Who had more say - there are always more persuasive people in any field - and not always the most honest. By totally unreliable I mean that we have no guarantee that God sanctioned what you now have as the NT? Why would the letters of a mere man like Paul be considered scripture. I bet he didn't predict that his writings would be held ss the inspired words of God 2000 years later. The writings were utile to early christened true. But when v had critically there are major problems as I listed before. This makes drawing truth claims from the Bible impossible since it is of uncertain reliability and it definitely has errancy and fake verses which cannot lead to probable truths.

[@jamesupton4996]

@@think-islam-channel Of Paul, first. It is clear that he drew on some tradition: 1. Cor. 15:3 - for what I have received - . That idea of tradition within the community is important. That is the origin of the texts of the New Testament, and the rule by which the canon came to be. I would see the church fathers not as authoritarian figures, on what must have been highly amorphous groups within early christianity, but rather as emerging from such groups, with sometimes striking insight. The heresies of the second century were not extirpated by fiat and power - christians had no recognition in the Roman system - but by argument, and general consensus. The nub of it is here. The rise of christianity, the formation of the canon, its contents and so on are all wide open to historical critical investigation. The evolution of the New Testament is symbiotic on the growth of the early church. So is the continuing understanding of these texts. Drawing Truth claims is not simple. Genesis says: In the beginning God created -John says: in the beginning was the Word. (ok - there's a huge amount behind this parallelism to dig into) - Verses cannot be quoted simply. The truth claims do not entirely hinge on the text. It is the community which witnesses, and the New Testament is part of that witness. The question then becomes one of : is this the people of God, and am I going to become a member of it - the New Israel, called by God? The idea of a God sanctioned text gives me the frights. How on earth would we know? I'm for the community first, and then the God guided discernment of which written products carry the truth, despite their literary and other imperfections. The texts and community being intertwined.

None of what follows is about your personal faith or whether you are right or wrong in your beliefs. It is only to address the way you think about things. Firstly, peer review has absolutely nothing to do with eyewitness testimony. I'm sorry but that is foolish. In peer review, scientists test and take apart the claims of others by repeating their work and checking their conclusions. They could be in different parts of the world. They are not eyewitnesses to the initial discovery. Secondly, there is absolutely no way to test the claims of religions or in any way assess their validity, which is precisely why all religions place so much emphasis on belief. There is also no way to test the historicity of the stories behind Christianity or Islam, or any other religion. We have a handful of written accounts, none of whom are from eyewitnesses, all of whom are written many years after the events they describe and, in the case of Christianity, these accounts differ in profound ways which mean they cannot all be true. The gospels were originally anonymous and we have no idea who wrote them but the gospel of Luke actually tells us the author was not an eyewitness and in John it refers to "we know the testimony is true" meaning it is not the work of a single eyewitness author. Lastly, whilst there are things science does not yet know and may be things it will never know, every claim made by science has to be testable and repeatable before it is accepted. This is not the case for religion. Religious claims are never tested, never validated in any way, because they cannot be. How do we test if a man rose from death or if someone flew between cities on a winged creature? How do we validate a claim that the moon was split in two and reformed by Allah or if Jesus died for our sins? How do we even know, as a certain fact, that a god exists? We cannot and so we either believe or we don't. Your final paragraph highlights your misunderstanding. Testimony is not evidence. It is anecdotal and therefore cannot be verified. Personal verification is not important. It is the ability to test, repeat and demonstrate the facts which makes something evidence. Example: If I give you my personal testimony that I have fairies in my garden and I say I have seen them and even spoken with them, do you accept that as a fact simply through my testimony or do you need to verify it? Science tests all claims by repeating the process described by the person making the claim, to ascertain if the same results are achieved. This simply cannot be done in religion. Scientists would visit my garden and search it thoroughly and repeat what I did when i met the fairies. If no fairies were found, my testimony would be rejected. In religion you either believe the fairy story or you do not.

@@jackricky5453 Firstly, peer review has absolutely nothing to do with eyewitness testimony. In peer review, scientists test and take apart the claims of others by repeating their work and checking their conclusions. They could be in different parts of the world. Secondly, there is no way to test the claims of religions or assess their validity, which is why all religions place an emphasis on belief. There is also no way to test the historicity of the stories behind Christianity or Islam, or any other religion.

Dr. Ehrman remarks: What I think we can say with some confidence is that Jesus actually did die, he probably was buried, and that some of his disciples (all of them? some of them?) claimed to have seen him alive afterward. Among those who made this claim, interestingly enough, was Jesus’ own brother James, who came to believe in Jesus and soon thereafter became one of the principle leaders of the early Christian church

157And because of their saying (in boast), “We killed Messiah ‘Iesa (Jesus), son of Maryam (Mary), the Messenger of Allah,” - but they killed him not, nor crucified him, but the resemblance of ‘Iesa (Jesus) was put over another man (and they killed that man), and those who differ therein are full of doubts. They have no (certain) knowledge, they follow nothing but conjecture. For surely; they killed him not [i.e. ‘Iesa (Jesus), son of Maryam (Mary)]: 158But Allah raised him [‘Iesa (Jesus)] up (with his body and soul) unto Himself (and he is in the heavens). And Allah is Ever All-Powerful, All-Wise. (An-Nisa 4:157-158,

For they may know YOU (Father) the ONLY TRUE GOD and Jesus Christ whom you have sent. John 17:3 Can ONLY means other.. Christians says..YES. For God loves the world he gave his ONLY begotten Son...John 3:16 Now can this ONLY means the other... Christians says..NO.

@wim develder We must consider everything he said in context... not just one thing here or there. He made proper distinctions between himself as the Son(2nd person of the Trinity) and the Father.

I think this clearly explained for me . Jews were adamant that Yaweh was One not triune. As you rightly had fear to call his name. For me this important as it relates to worship of Yaweh which i have alwatys believed in. Jesus on numerous occasions refered to his Father as the authority a clasdic example. Diceiples ask Jesus when will these things will be referring to the ushering of the Kingdom Jesus clearly said I do not know ONLY The Father has that knowledge if he was the Father he would have told them. Early Christians did NOT practice a Triune God

Further early Christian noted this..The Egyptian and Ethiopian Churches have a tradition that the angels were not all created at the same time. The great archangel Michael, who is called the "Angel of the Face," and all his Rank of angels were created in the first hour of Friday, the Priests in the second, the Thrones in the third, the Dominions (or Sultâns) in the fourth, the Lords in the fifth, the Powers in the sixth, the Tens of Thousands in the seventh, the Governors in the eighth, the Masters in the ninth. After the Governors the Rank of angels governed by Satan were created, and then the Tenth Rank.

The man polluted bible has been proven many many many times to be false by christian scholars, Doctors of Divinity, Profs of Christianity. It was written, altered, words and sentences put in, taken out according to various parties self interests. If you want proofs feel free to ask. It is well documented.

Thank you for the info. Good points. One question though: In Mark 5:7 Jesús is called "the Son of the Most Hight". In the Hebrew Bible, that title is given only to ELYON father of YHVH, do you think for the author of Mark, Jesús is YHVH 's brother o YHVH himself? Regards from Lima Perú

Isaiah 9:6-7 6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. 7 Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this. Paul, what does it mean for a child to be born, and he shall be called “the mighty God”? Does Bart cover this?
