I’ve just finished watching this wonderful exegesis and I have no doubt that you will be hitting a nerve with many Christian and Jewish apologists. Such clear explanation and arguments that cannot be ignored and that will be a huge thorn in the side of the aforementioned groups of people. It’s shocking how many holes you find in Christian theology, that I always find it funny when they try and stand toe to toe in intellectual dialogue, when their beliefs contain so many blatant contradictions. Alhamdulilah for the preservation of the truth by Allah through the Quran. We would be truly lost, as the Christians unfortunately are, without it. Asalaam alaykum.

Of course there are seemingly "many holes" that we can find in "Christian theology," but I don't see any "holes" in the love of Jesus Christ ( PBUH ).

UNFORTUNATELY, your faith is FOUNDATIONLESS as per the sayings of Jesus OF THE BIBLE. B) EVEN IF we agree (for the sake of argument) that Jesus as a man said John 17:3, then STILL this perfect human, perfect role model, righteous man Jesus gave the testimony that THE FATHER IS THE ONLY TRUE GOD. So either THE FATHER IS THE ONLY TRUE GOD or this "Righteous man" Jesus is actually a LIAR C) YOU think Augustine and the Church Fathers were reading John 17:3 in English? NO. They read it in Greek. YET it's such an emphatic and clear-cut Trinity-DESTROYING testimony of Jesus that they went ahead and MUTILATED it to suit their ABOMINATION doctrine.

Beautiful brother Paul!! You've brought back Dr Ali to the live stream, great great great brother Paul 👏👏👏. I will enjoy watching this live stream the moment i saw the notification. Dear brother Paul, don't be shy and hide your Islam, i would love to advise you because our religion is sincere advice, next time you bring Dr Ali, give him the salaam, it's his right from you to him so he may greet you likewise and call him "brother" because Islam is what unite us, there's no shame in doing so regardless from where we come from. If you firmly believe wholeheartedly in the truth of the Qu'ran, then profess your Islam because just as we are upon the truth of Islam, so are you. Also brother Paul it's my sincere advice to you in your short reminders, I highly recommend you to mention Allah by His rightful name, Allah, it sounds more sweet to the heart and the tongue coming from you to us rather than just saying the word "God." To me that word sounds dry and flattering, when you read the hadeeth say the Messenger of Allah instead of the messenger of God, it will sound more sweet in your tongue and you will learn to love Allah and His Messenger more. We love you for the sake of Allah, you're so valuable to the Dawah in conveying the message of Islamic monotheism. Wallahi don't fear the blame of the blamer and those who forsake you or desert you, we stand behind you as your brothers in Islam and I'm sure Dr Ali as well. Jazak Allahu Khayran.

Psalm 91:10-16 - God will rescue Jesus (as) and ‘lift him up to’ HIMSELF. This proves that there would be no crucifixion. The last word in the prophecy is Yeshua. This is the Hebrew name of Jesus (as). Yeshua means salvation. The prophecy shows no crucifixion and also gives his name. St Augustine said this referred to the Church as a whole - even though the prophecy refers to a single person. It uses pronouns in the singular throughout. Qur’an 4:157-158, also talks of ALLAH taking Jesus (as) up to himself. One of the reasons Jews reject Jesus (as) is because of the crucifixion. Qur’an opens the door for Jews to accept Jesus (as) and for Christians to accept the truth about the crucifixion.

One of articles of faith in Islam is that the "belief in the existence of the books of which God is the author: the Quran (revealed to Muhammad), the Gospel (revealed to Jesus), the Torah (revealed to Moses), and Psalms (revealed to David). Muslims respect the books given to Jews and Christians. Quranic criticism is that those books are not in existence in its original form and what we have now are corrupted versions by human hands. This Quranic criticism is confirmed by many modern studies including Christian churches. Please open your heart and pray to God of Abrahm / Jesus and seek for truth and continue study.

@Byron Perry Surah 41:9-12 the universe created in 6 days.. Go learn Arabic not the translation. Allah forgive all sins including shirk if you repent.. But will not forgive you committing shirk if you died committing it, even if you pray 5 times a day and go for hajj every year. Indeed, Allah does not forgive association with Him, but He forgives what is less than that for whom He wills. And he who associates others with Allah has certainly gone far astray. -Surah An-Nisa', Ayah 116 So repent before you die. Sorry dude, Qur'an 2:62 only applied to the people before the Qur'an, it applied to the friends of Salman AL Farisi, human worshipers like you are not included. You should worry for sure. Quote from ibn katsir : `Ali bin Abi Talhah narrated from Ibn `Abbas, about, ﴿ إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَٱلَّذِينَ هَادُواْ وَٱلنَّصَـٰرَىٰ وَٱلصَّـٰبِـِٔينَ مَنۡ ءَامَنَ بِٱللَّهِ وَٱلۡيَوۡمِ ٱلۡأَخِرِ ﴾ (Verily, those who believe and those who are Jews and Christians, and Sabians, whoever believes in Allah and the Last Day) that Allah revealed the following Ayah afterwards, ﴿ وَمَن يَبۡتَغِ غَيۡرَ ٱلۡإِسۡلَـٰمِ دِينً۬ا فَلَن يُقۡبَلَ مِنۡهُ وَهُوَ فِى ٱلۡأَخِرَةِ مِنَ ٱلۡخَـٰسِرِينَ ﴾ (And whoever seeks religion other than Islam, it will never be accepted of him, and in the Hereafter he will be one of the losers) (3:85). This statement by Ibn `Abbas indicates that Allah does not accept any deed or work from anyone, unless it conforms to the Law of Muhammad that is, after Allah sent Muhammad . Before that, every person who followed the guidance of his own Prophet was on the correct path, following the correct guidance and was saved. Why the Jews were called `Yahud The Jews are the followers of Prophet Musa, who used to refer to the Tawrah for judgment. Yahud is a word that means, `repenting', just as Musa said, Why the Christians were called Nasara ﴿ مَنۡ أَنصَارِىٓ إِلَى ٱللَّهِ‌ۖ قَالَ ٱلۡحَوَارِيُّونَ نَحۡنُ أَنصَارُ ٱللَّهِ‌ۖ ﴾ ("Who will be my helpers in Allah's cause'' Al-Hawariyyun said: "We are the helpers of Allah.'') (61:14) It was said that they were called `Nasara', because they inhabited a land called An-Nasirah (Nazareth), as Qatadah, Ibn Jurayj and Ibn `Abbas were reported to have said, Allah knows best. Nasara is certainly plural for Nasran. When Allah sent Muhammad as the Last and Final Prophet and Messenger to all of the Children of Adam, mankind was required to believe in him, obey him and refrain from what he prohibited them; those who do this are true believers. The Ummah of Muhammad was called `Mu'minin' (believers), because of the depth of their faith and certainty, and because they believe in all of the previous Prophets and matters of the Unseen. *The Sabi'un or Sabians* There is a difference of opinion over the identity of the Sabians. Sufyan Ath-Thawri said that Layth bin Abu Sulaym said that Mujahid said that, "The Sabians are between the Majus, the Jews and the Christians. They do not have a specific religion.'' Similar is reported from Ibn Abi Najih. Similar statements were attributed to `Ata' and Sa`id bin Jubayr. They (others) say that the Sabians are a sect among the People of the Book who used to read the Zabur (Psalms), others say that they are a people who worshipped the angels or the stars. It appears that the closest opinion to the truth, and Allah knows best, is Mujahid's statement and those who agree with him like Wahb bin Munabbih, that the Sabians are neither Jews nor Christians nor Majus nor polytheists. Rather, they did not have a specific religion that they followed and enforced, because they remained living according to their Fitrah (instinctual nature). This is why the idolaters used to call whoever embraced Islam a `Sabi', meaning, that he abandoned all religions that existed on the earth. Some scholars stated that the Sabians are those who never received a message by any Prophet. And Allah knows best End quote. .

@Byron Perry then produce something similar if what you say is true. BTW, you Christian, Agnostic, or Athiest?

[@mabdewn]

Yes! This is the best video by far. There was a lot of eye-opening moments for me, considering the history of the Pentateuch. I never believed that it was the actual Tawrah given to Moses then distorted, but I couldn't get my head around how it ever came about and earned the status of being sacred and the word of God. It also shows how deeply ingrained the book is in Jewish culture and why it might cause people to abandon the Jewish religion. There are many discrepancies, and people blindly follow it because "This is the religion of our forefathers.". The latter being a theme often referenced in the Qur'an. Another thing I found funny was something I had pondered on but didn't know where or how to verify was the tablets. Judeo-Christian tradition holds that Moses was given 2 tablets with the 10 commandments. These commandments are never referenced in the Qur'an, and I've never come across a specific reference to them in any hadith. However, the tablets are mentioned, and the dual plural in Arabic isn't used, but the plural. So it could have been 3, 10, or maybe even 50 tablets. Many small and strange details but very enlightening. Jazak Allahu khair, brother Paul Salam

@Dr Fatoohi: since you asked in your Exodus video to inform you (and not to make any claims): the matter of 1 vs 2 Pharoahs and the identity of the Pharoah of prophet Moses (pbuh), as well the historical correctness of the Quranic account has been thoroughly discussed and established in a series of "Dars ul Quran" in 1995 by Hazrat Mirza Tahir Ahmad (ra).

Beyond amazing! Paul is again bringing to light, from the layman perspective, a narrative that passes with flying colors the tests of common, literary, historical and theological senses. Cannot recommend Paul's channel enough. Professor Ali's impressive academic command of the disciplines involved in the discourse enables him to make a case so compelling to the unprejudiced truth seeker.
