Not only, a 'son' is always 'younger' than father, and therefore cannot be 'equal'. God is eternal by default, 'son' starts at a point of time therefore cannot be co-eternal.
Fascinating. I've already been a Muslim for years and only discovered Gary through blogging theology a few days ago (from another video not this) and find him to be an excellent speaker. I grew up a Christian, then was an atheist, then a Muslim, so I very much relate to his critiques of Christianity
@Rayrad 696 if your interpretation of John 14:6, was correct then Moses would be a false prophet, as would all of the Prophets sent to Israel after him. The mount Sinai revelation gave universal salvation for the world and you are taking this away from YHWH and Moses. You are a blasphemer of the highest order.

Brother paul may Allah make you be with the ones upon whom Allah has bestowed favor of the prophets, the steadfast affirmers of truth, the martyrs and the righteous. And excellent are those as companions.
I live in Toronto. In the 90s I was introduced to Gary Millers audio lectures by a friend who converted from Sikh to Muslim. I have a collection of CDs of his lectures and my learning journey about Islam started from there. I was born in a Muslim family and wasn't really a practicing Muslim. I learned more from Gary Millers lectures about Islam than from any other source. His lectures lead me to Ahmed Deedat lectures and then Zakir Naik lectures and many others and now your good self :). Learning a lot from your mesmerizing voice. Gary Miller use to hold small group lectures in University of Toronto where my friends use to go. Apparently as you mentioned he just suddenly went silent about 15 to 20 years ago. I still listen to his audio lectures though. So much information he packs in an hour lecture.

Thank you Paul, absolutely wonderful in bringing this book of Dr Gary Miller, its was a critical to show Christians the truth hidden behind all wrong interpretation of words and the bible
4:20 Well written. To paraphrase Dr Malcolm, I think many Christians have spent so long trying to figure out whether or not they *can* rationalise the trinity, that they haven’t stopped to think about whether or not they actually *should.*
Dr Gary Miller was a genius of a sort, a much needed voice on the dawah scene which is sadly lacking intellectual and spiritual depth. Thanks for putting Professor Miller out there!

Absolutely brilliant. So grateful to have found this channel. Thank you for sharing this amazing material that compels one not to just blindly accept, but to think and to truly SEE.
I listened to Dr Gary Miller years ago and he still has one of the best analyses on the proofs of the Quran and the Prophecy of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ in the English language. His explanations were surgically precise in nature.
Wow. I was so ready not to tune in. But i happened to have tried it some days ago and I've got to say... Wow! One of the very best so far, as far as I'm concerned. Thank you for sharing all this beautiful knowledge with us.

I wish you could have 30mins-an hour talk while I do my chores. I'm very appreciative of your work. Thank you for your time and effort!
@@charlievaughan1308 Here is your logic then. Something that is earned always gives more pleasure. We can even see this in day to day life. A kid of a rich person who owns everything he wants just because his family bought it for him wouldn't really know the value of these things and probably would never be content with them. On the contrary a person who had to work for everything he owns would appreciate them far more and be able to enjoy them, knowing what he went through to obtain them. God has given us the chance to earn our prize and therefore have the ability to enjoy it thanks to the free will he has bestowed upon us. There are creation that live in heaven without having to earn it or go through any hardship to get there. They are called angels. But the thing is they do not have free will and just do what God tells them so they are void of pleasure due to the same reason explained above. Yes God could have given us free will and also just put us heaven but why should he? God gives to his creation what ever he wants. He gave the angles paradise but no free will and he gave humans a trail to go through but free will to enjoy good results. The satisfaction of earning something is what he has granted us. Now that's our logic, you could agree with it or you could not. It doesn't change the fact that our beliefs can be logically understood whilst most beliefs in other religions cannot, for example 1+1+1=1. I would love to hear what you believe in and see if you can stand behind your beliefs with logic?
Wonderful work Gary Miller provided in a short span of time and it’s unfortunate he went under the radar that he has no publications or audio/video lectures in the public domain for many decades. His work was absolutely Marvellous
Gary Miller is one of the most intelligent and talented person. His critical approach is very subtle and convincing and easy to follow. I pray to Allah that he is safe and in good health. Thank you for reviewing Dr Miller's work.

@@BloggingTheology Brother Paul, it's true that the Qu'ran and the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) did not confirm Cyrus the Great's status as a Messiah as mentioned by Prophet Isaiah. The Qu'ran does not even mention Isaiah as a Prophet by name. Surely Allah says in the Qu'ran that He did not mention all the Prophets by name. For day, Prophet Uzaer was not mentioned by name in Sura Bakara (Chapter 2). But many Muslim scholars interprete that Zulqarnain/ Dhul-Qarnayn (means- The bearer of two horns or two Kingdoms Persia and Media) mentioned in Sura Kahf (Chapter 18) could be the Cyrus the Great. As a monotheist he was a blessed one. He built a dam in the Daryal Gorge that lies in the Caucasus Mountains, near the city of Tiflis, capital of Georgia, and this dam is related to the End Time prophesies on releasing Gog and Magog according to Sura Kahf. According to Hadiths, those asking the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) about Dhul-Qarnayn were either the Jews themselves or the Qurayish with the encouragement of the Jews, trying to put him on the spot with a hard question and prove that he isn't a Prophet. And that is why Allah says in Sura Kahf: “And they ask you of Dhul-Qarnayn”. “Indeed We had granted him power in the land and given him the means to all things.” (verse 84). Sheikh Imran Nazar Hosein did interprete the verses regarding this person who was traveling towards the Dead Sea and the Black Sea also. In the 19th century, when a statue of Cyrus was discovered near the river of “Morghab” (an 850km long river in Central Asia), depicting him with two spread wings like those of an eagle, and a crown with two horns like those of a ram, Muslim scholars came up with new interpretations of those verses. It is said that a group of German scientists travelled all the way to Iran just to see this statue, which is a great specimen and sample of ancient stone-carving. After comparing traits mentioned in the Holy Book with those seen in the statue, these historians reached a conclusion about why Cyrus was called Dhul-Qarnayn (The bearer of two horns), and also why his statue had wings like those of an eagle. All of these clues led to the interpretation about who Dhul-Qarnayn was in history (Cyrus the Great).
Sir, your short lecture is quite heavy. Well I have to read Gary Miller work completely. Thanks for your introduction of Gary Miller. I just knew him from your video.
As a 26 year old trying to garner knowledge I adore your set up. It isn’t for the purposes of aesthetics however it conveys to the reader that the speaker has immersed himself in reading and developed a theologians outcome of his views. God bless you brother.
Salaams Paul, greetings from Toronto, Canada. I'm really enjoying your posts and videos. While I have done some reading on Christianity, you have really opened the door to so many scholarly works that we would otherwise not be aware of. Just a thought for future videos....the Book of Revelation is never really discussed and is a bit of a mystery. Would be interesting to see that unpacked. By the way, I attended a lecture in the 70s in Toronto that featured Gary Miller and Yusuf Islam (Cat Stevens). I read any of his works I could get a hold of....loved his clarity of thought....the same reason I enjoy listening to you. Take care and keep up the good work inshallah.
Bro Paul I am amazed by your in depth knowledge and penetrating zeal to bring out all worthwhile and goodness for the mankind. May Allah Swt reward you for your every work and also for your sincerity. Ameen.
Jazak Allahu kheir for this Brother Paul. Indeed, in all of these genius works of literature, we see the reason why lies and sin are so abhorrent... the work and knowledge it takes to unravel the chaos delivered in a single sentence is arduous and requires great knowledge. May Allah accept from Dr. Miller, give us steadfastness, reinforce our resolve like the wall built by Dhul Qarnain, and use us to bring light to the darkness!

I have never had a problem with the sound quality even from the first video. I really cannot understand what people keep talking about. And I am half deaf in my right ear. Having said that, thank you for posting this!
Those keeping bring up the sound quality are probably the angry Christians😅. I saw a Christian missionary trying to "refute" brother Paul keep saying that.
@@sayno-toevil4753 No no. I feel some of Muslim brothers feel the same. In fact the sound quality might just be the only thing that unites the Muslim and Christian brothers on this channel. But I just can't figure out the problem. Perhaps it is to do with the particular brand of a phone or device with the youtube app. Some devices cannot modulate the audio output efficiently.
@mikaeel Sarancen brother don't trust these people. I heard them say Bolgging Theology must be stopped. they are desperate. So don't entertain them please. i sent it to many people I around the world and they said The sound quality is great!

You've developed a wonderful platform of varying views and ideas. Small doses into the intricacies of the sacred text and commentary. A wonderful collection of quotes from different contributors. I've often wondered why the Children of Israel remained a rather small group. Although like the Muslims they are a nation of martyrs. But they never became a light onto the nations. If they had shined the Sacred Words. Who were the Babylonians to attack them. Believers would have marched from India to attempt to save them and the Blessed Temple. St Paul attempted with his interpretation to open salvation to non Jews. But his followers became Trinitarian Christians. I do feel you're a little hard on St Paul. You Paul shine the light of Muhammad of whom be peace. You are an excellent example of his way. Bless you and your channel with success
The profile picture features Thomas Aquinas (died 1274) who was an Italian philosopher, Catholic priest, and Doctor of the Church. An immensely influential philosopher and theologian in the tradition of scholasticism he was the foremost classical proponent of natural theology and the father of Thomism. His influence on Western thought is considerable, and much of modern philosophy developed or opposed his ideas, particularly in the areas of ethics, natural law, metaphysics, and political theory. I admire his extraordinary intellect and theological brilliance though I do not agree with his Trinitarianism.
WHERE IS DR GARY MILLER, IF YOU ARE READING THIS DR MILLAR PLEASE SAY HELLO, we sorely miss you, and love you. YOU DONT UNDERSTAND HOW MUCH FANS YOU HAVE, all around the world. Make short videos just to say hello... hope you are well. Wonder if your health has prevented you from doing your dawah work :(
I first watched Gary Miller in 1984 and he impressed me immensely mashallah. He is a wonderful thinker and an avid searcher of the truth. May Allah bless him, ameen.
Paul I read that book in the early 90s when I first accepted Islam, it was ahead of my time, please I’d love to read it now, if you know where I can find an online copy of it? How great it would be
Hello Paul, I really enjoy your Content, Is it possible to have this book as a digital version. I tried to find it online but I couldn't find it. If possible I can transform it into a pdf to be available for every one or re print it and possibly translate it into German as I live in Germany. No intention of profit or anything it's only for the seek of Allah and to deliver his message to everyone searching for the truth. I would be happy to hear from you. Sherif
I think I've heard quite often of your arguments against Christianity. Do you have any good book recommendations in particular regarding arguments against atheism, especially Darwinism?
Finally I found your channel I saw many videos but couldn't locate your channel I was convinced you were a muslim from how amazing your arguments(perspective) seemed my opinion on you hasn't changed neither do I ask you to disclose your faith I simply ask you to come to a decision atleast in private so that you are upon the truth before you die and I don't think someone as honest as you would need much time to decide anyways keep up the great work you are doing 👍👍
I have watched one of his debates where he shared a stage with Ahmed Deedat (May Allah have mercy in his soul) I can't quite remember where it was, I believe it was somewhere in India, it was held out in the open. Back in 1978 I believe, and nothing from him since, yes about 6 or 7 years ago, there were few videos about him on CZcams, but recently there are practically none.
My apologies if I've got wrong information, but I recently heard Dr Gary Miller's name for the first time in a youtube video, but I remember it was mentioned he passed away, some time ago😔 actually. Maybe if people are indicating a FB page, it's worth checking if its a fan page? I hope i heard wrong, and I wish he's alive. 💚
'To be a son, is to be less than divine. To be divine, is to be no one's son'. ....I love this quote.

I have never had a problem with the sound quality even from the first video. I really cannot understand what people keep talking about. And I am half deaf in my right ear. Having said that, thank you for posting this!
Good to know!
Those keeping bring up the sound quality are probably the angry Christians😅. I saw a Christian missionary trying to "refute" brother Paul keep saying that.
@@sayno-toevil4753 No no. I feel some of Muslim brothers feel the same. In fact the sound quality might just be the only thing that unites the Muslim and Christian brothers on this channel. But I just can't figure out the problem. Perhaps it is to do with the particular brand of a phone or device with the youtube app. Some devices cannot modulate the audio output efficiently.

brother don't trust these people. I heard them say Bolgging Theology must be stopped. they are desperate. So don't entertain them please. i sent it to many people I around the world and they said The sound quality is great!
Just to add to this survey - I have no problem with the volume or sound quality either. Keep posting Paul ... and I'll keep watching.
Assalâmou aleikoum.
JAZÂKALLAHOU KHAYRANE for all what you're doing for the Ummah.
May Allah(S.W.T) grant us al Jannah and guide those who aren't yet muslims.

You've developed a wonderful platform of varying views and ideas. Small doses into the intricacies of the sacred text and commentary. A wonderful collection of quotes from different contributors.
I've often wondered why the Children of Israel remained a rather small group. Although like the Muslims they are a nation of martyrs. But they never became a light onto the nations. If they had shined the Sacred Words. Who were the Babylonians to attack them. Believers would have marched from India to attempt to save them and the Blessed Temple. St Paul attempted with his interpretation to open salvation to non Jews. But his followers became Trinitarian Christians. I do feel you're a little hard on St Paul. You Paul shine the light of Muhammad of whom be peace. You are an excellent example of his way. Bless you and your channel with success
thank you
I've become one of your subscribers recently. You definitely deserve more. Btw, who is the person in your profile picture?
The profile picture features Thomas Aquinas (died 1274) who was an Italian philosopher, Catholic priest, and Doctor of the Church. An immensely influential philosopher and theologian in the tradition of scholasticism he was the foremost classical proponent of natural theology and the father of Thomism. His influence on Western thought is considerable, and much of modern philosophy developed or opposed his ideas, particularly in the areas of ethics, natural law, metaphysics, and political theory.
I admire his extraordinary intellect and theological brilliance though I do not agree with his Trinitarianism.
Think you scholar Paul ❤👍👍
Awesome video ... I have seen few videos of Dr Miller and his analysis of the Quran is amazing..
As far as I recall he is a lecturer in a University in Saudi Arabia these days. Yes he went off the radar after 1980s.
May Allah reward you janah for everything you do brother .
Love to hear the full book
Another great video. Thanks. Would you happen to have a pdf of this lovely book?
No, sorry
Thank you
WHERE IS DR GARY MILLER, IF YOU ARE READING THIS DR MILLAR PLEASE SAY HELLO, we sorely miss you, and love you. YOU DONT UNDERSTAND HOW MUCH FANS YOU HAVE, all around the world. Make short videos just to say hello... hope you are well. Wonder if your health has prevented you from doing your dawah work :(
I first watched Gary Miller in 1984 and he impressed me immensely mashallah. He is a wonderful thinker and an avid searcher of the truth. May Allah bless him, ameen.
Great work
Thanks
The last I heard Gary Miller was teaching mathematics in Saudi Arabia. His muslim name is Abdal-Ahad Omar.

Paul I read that book in the early 90s when I first accepted Islam, it was ahead of my time, please I’d love to read it now, if you know where I can find an online copy of it? How great it would be
Jazakalair

Brother , could you please upload the PDF version of this book .
Thanx for the French traduction ! It helps
Glad it helped!
How can I by his book I couldn't find it anywhere
Can you please help me find his book
Hello Paul,
I really enjoy your Content, Is it possible to have this book as a digital version. I tried to find it online but I couldn't find it.
If possible I can transform it into a pdf to be available for every one or re print it and possibly translate it into German as I live in Germany.
No intention of profit or anything it's only for the seek of Allah and to deliver his message to everyone searching for the truth.
I would be happy to hear from you.

Dr Miller should open a CZcams channel,.... His style of Explanation is one of a kind.
I think I've heard quite often of your arguments against Christianity. Do you have any good book recommendations in particular regarding arguments against atheism, especially Darwinism?
Finally I found your channel I saw many videos but couldn't locate your channel I was convinced you were a muslim from how amazing your arguments(perspective) seemed my opinion on you hasn't changed neither do I ask you to disclose your faith I simply ask you to come to a decision atleast in private so that you are upon the truth before you die and I don't think someone as honest as you would need much time to decide anyways keep up the great work you are doing 👍👍
He taught in KFUPM...My former Uni.
How did you put so many subtitles in this video?😳
A kind friend in Algeria is doing it for me.
I like your style old man I want a book library like yours one day
Where can we find this book?
We would like to know whereabouts of Gary Miller from him. Our sincere prayer for him and his family.
Is it translated in Arabic 🙄🤔❗thanks brother for this review , and i like the way you talk and your presentation, MashaAllah ❤️👍🏻
Thanks
My favourite quote of dr Gary Miller : "What do you mean?!?!?" Masya Allah. Questioning the christians about "man god"
I have watched one of his debates where he shared a stage with Ahmed Deedat (May Allah have mercy in his soul) I can't quite remember where it was, I believe it was somewhere in India, it was held out in the open. Back in 1978 I believe, and nothing from him since, yes about 6 or 7 years ago, there were few videos about him on CZcams, but recently there are practically none.
My apologies if I've got wrong information, but I recently heard Dr Gary Miller's name for the first time in a youtube video, but I remember it was mentioned he passed away, some time ago😔 actually. Maybe if people are indicating a FB page, it's worth checking if its a fan page? I hope i heard wrong, and I wish he's alive. 💚
Could you please write the name of the book written by Dr. Miller.
Can you upload this book as a pdf?
