@@abdulaleem9207 Great question. Which values led to it's existence and why did the values of that empire change which led it to fail? I think you should ask these questions and search for the information.
@@SurpriseMeJT dude, I spent most of my pandemic/lockdown time probing and learning about this. the answer is a tad bit complicated and long. however, I mention it here in brief : wealth, patronage, a culture of learning are some important factors here. which of these does islam oppose? also, you didn't answer my previous question.
@@abdulaleem9207 Fantastic. That's a great start. Now that we have established that the Ottoman empire had a "golden age", what happened afterwards? If Islamic values were the reason for a golden age, why is the Islamic world now the way it is? I mean where are the Islamic space shuttles or Islamic vaccines?
@@SurpriseMeJT dude, the ottoman golden age wasnt the age of scientific advancements. the muslim world had *two peaks*. one represented by *arabs*, the other by the *central asian turks*. the former developed fiqh, hadith and natural sciences. the latter developed arts, architecture and spirituality. both periods saw decline by external factors. the former by mongols and reconquista and the latter by colonialism. that said any revival needs political stability, developing a culture for learning, wealth and patronage.
The most insane thing I have heard from Islam is that mohammed is the comforter/Holy spirit. The comforter is omnipresent. So they attribute omnipresence to mohammed. Thus committing SHIRK! HAHA
@@IslamCritiqued It's a double bull's eye. Shirk is the unforgivable sin in Islam. Blasphemy of the Holy Spirit is the unforgivable sin in Christianity. They're comitting the unforgivable sin of both religions LOL
For all their devotion, I don't recall the Apostles rubbing themselves with Jesus's secretions/bodily fluids. What kind of belief system sat at the root of such a practice? Because on it's face, it sounds like debilitating autism.
"Indeed, Allah confers blessing upon the Prophet, and His angels [ask Him to do so]. O you who have believed, ask [ Allah to confer] blessing upon him and ask [ Allah to grant him] peace." Surah 33:56 quran.com/33/56 he blesses him.
@@NafiurRahmanYT Guled above was talking about the part at 9:55 in the video. This is the word. It's یُصَلُّوۡنَ (yusalluuna), from 'salah' (praying or blessing). But then the same word is also used afterwards, صَلُّوۡا (saluh), to pray for him (i.e. Muhammad). There is no mention of Allah in the second sentence. It was added in that translation. It means the only meaning that would make sense for the passage is 'pray'. Otherwise, the translation would be 'indeed Allah and His angels bless Muhammad. (That's why) O you who believe, bless him', which doesn't make sense. Why would ordinary believers be able to bless Muhammad, like Allah did to him?
It’s allowed to ask questions in islam but they have to accept the answers they get from the imam or sheikh. If he doesn’t know he’ll say “Allah knows best” and that’s it.
It's allowed...sometimes. Depends on the situation. An ex-Muslim I know told me his Imam said that if he had asked the questions he was asking (before he apostatized) back in the middle east, he would have been mutilated.
Really been driving deep into Dawah and Islam apologetics recently and have thoroughly enjoyed your videos. Appreciate the time and effort you’ve taken to shine a light in such darkness.
Islam sets people up with mates. This hinders using faith, endurance, wits and judgement in pursuing marital destiny and courting a soul mate. Thus is lost the strengthening of faith and discernment and perseverance of fidelity and meaningful romance that should be produced by the difficulties faith overcomes to arrive at faith's goals. Lack of the above and forbidding of art, music, most books, and female critical thinking, plus the oversimplifying of unity and deity prevents mental stimulation.
Formerly as an unbeliever, I used to think Christianity wouldn't stand scrutiny and examination. I can see how many Atheists and Muslims would have that assumption, as most people, including myself previously, were unwilling to commit time and effort to honestly consider the long answer. Though it's an arduous and perilous task, thank you for vlogging the long answers.
Very true, I find atheist "critiques" of the Bible to be extremely shallow - almost always nothing more than repetitions of vague information they heard somewhere and not based on actual investigation.
@@IslamCritiqued I have just found your channel after following D. Wood, Prince and Apostate Prophet for years, kinda strange it took me too long to find this. Your channel is AMAZING, I will check all your videos by the end of the week. Good luck and keep it up, you got a new subscriber. Keep destroying that cult! ☦️💪🏻
Many Muslims watching and commenting on this video dont seem to understand the satire of IC's interpretation of Quranic material though Christian theology
Excellent Video! I don't know why I never thought of Muslims, counter arguing the text using Unitarian Monotheism, which would make the text delusional, when they should be looking at the text in a Trinitarian Monotheistic fashion.
Yes, the most frequent objections you hear are effectively, "This verse doesn't make sense from a Unitarian perspective, therefore TRINITARIANISM is false." And they don't even realize they don't know the difference. It's almost like you have to read the New Testament from a Trinitarian perspective for it to make sense. Hmmmmmm...I might be on to something.
I think you are spot on in this video. Virtually every objection I've seen raised by Muslims against the Deity of Christ and the Trinity can be characterized as simply not understanding Christian theology and what those doctrines actually are.
Or understanding the fact that the Trinity doctrine came after the Councile of Nicæa and was mostly unitarian before Or the fact that Jesus never said, in the whole Bible, "I am God" explicitly while it is supposed to ba a core belief
Sahar Arash - LOL! Thank you for proving my point. The council of Nicaea had nothing to do with the Trinity. Further, we have the Trinity long before the council of Nicaea in writings by church fathers such as Irenaeus. The "I am God" claim is beyond stupid and has been shot down so many times I'll not waste my time on it. Now, do you have anything intelligent to say that is supported by facts, or just more copy/paste of Ahmed Deedat?
I feel sorry for you, the brainwashing is evident. "Councile of Nicaea" made the Trinitarian Doctrine? No, it didn't. The Council of Nicaea was for Christology, If it was Biblical to call Christ, Divine. Since 1st century, Orthodox Christians believed Jesus to be God/Divine, then in the 4th century, Arian, a heretic who made a anti-divine Christology doctrine that the Church addressed to him, Mainly, St. Alexander of Athanasius which was held at the Council of Nicaea.
The tawhid is clearly and explicitly described in the Quran. Is it problematic because the word ‘tawhid' isn’t found in it? No. It’s different for Christianity, because the trinity theology isn’t explicitly described while tawhid simply corresponds to pure monotheism, which is found in the Quran *without* mental gymnastics
9:06 I've been making this point for a while: how often do Muslims attach honorifics to Allah's name (e.g., SWT), compared to how often they attach honorifics to Muhammad's name (e.g., PBUH)? If there were a counter in Jennah keeping count of the former, and another next to it for the latter, would Allah's count be greater, or would Muhammad's? What does that say about the true focus of Islam?
Exactly- this happens in the hadith a lot. Muhammad's name is always consistent however- always followed by the inscription. The context doesn't matter either. It could be, "...then he had their feet and hands chopped off and burned their eyes with hot nails...peace be upon him..."
Great video brother! And wow, even though you sped it up (and thanks for doing that by the way!), and even though it was only around a minute long, that "exegesis" of John 16 was really really hard to sit through! - Loris
"If I interpret this verse as a unitarian, it doesn't make any sense. Therefore trinitarian theology is false." That's precisely what the guy in the video argues. Unreal.
Thanks for the video! I recently subscribed to your channel and I truly love the contents. 😍 The explanations and arguments are usually easy to follow and understand, so I can highly recommend them to anybody.
IC is a freaking GENIUS I love you and your channel sir I’m a Christian woman from a country that is being constantly threatened by their Muslim neighbors and obviously I love when you talk about this religion of „peace“ When they say religion of peace, they mean peace, as in rest in peace when they kill you in the terror attacks
Brother, you are really scholar. Deep down I know that Muslims are making a mistake when they make such an analysis. Now I know how to share this to Muslims. Thank God for this video.
This helps explain why MusIIms who come to Christ seem to have one thing in common: they are rational thinkers. Most people, no matter what culture they are raised in, are far more emotional than rational. Christianity commands its followers to investigate, and rationally dissect, everything. This is in part what helped build the West. A follower of Christ, talking religion with a MusIim, is like a male mechanical engineer talking about love with an actress: they will talk right past each other, unless the rational one (engineer) puts himself and his thinking in the same place as the emotional one (actress). It will be difficult for him, but it would be impossible for her.
Muslims will claim that we deny logic when we believe in the trinity by comparing it to saying 1+1+1 = 3. It's like they never heard of unity before in reality, never mind mathematics. A great example of unity in maths are the cube roots of unity which deals with complex numbers, this is high school math(I'd suggest for anyone just to take a quick look at it). Its a beautiful abstract concept that's not obvious in nature and almost models itself after the trinity. But hey, if muslims wanna use primitive addition, subtraction, division and multiplication to prove their point, so be it. It just shows is Islam was never meant for thinking deeply.
Hey dude wassup I'm a Christian here. I just wanna tell you that when you read the verse 33:56 it actually says ".....pray for the prophet" and not "...to the prophet". I don't actually care about this small error from your side but Muslims will and then they can consider you as inconsistent with the knowledge. I hope you see this comment brother
Ahhh yes. The preposition is irrelevant- Allah prays. And that is the problem. But thanks, and you are correct- "for" not "to". At least that's the way it's translated. What the actual Arabic says, well, I don't trust Islamic scholars enough to tell us. They frequently dance around grammatical/theological issues in the Quran.
@@IslamCritiqued Yeah and regardless of the fact of the translations, it is a big deal for Muslims. Look at this video for example czcams.com/video/pvB8alwJdYc/video.html. I'm really enjoying your content and really looking forward to it.
Imagine if you replace all humans' names with the word man. Man concieved and gave birth to man then gave birth again to man and in the fullness of time man offered his sacrifice and GOD accepted it, but man's sacrifice HE rejected, so man went out into the field with man and struck man, killing him, so GOD asked, "man, where is man?" And man said, "am I man's keeper?" Therefore GOD said to man, "man's blood cries out from the earth against you, man". Then man came together with man again and she again concieved man, saying, "man is in man's own image".
Good video. BTW, Do people tend to tell you that you have really good eye contact, or that the eye contact is over the top? just curious, i've always wondered about eye contact.
I very much agree with the historical part of your argument, that Islam has been shielded from intellectual criticism for most of its existence. Christianity has had to deal with the blinding, harsh, often inimical light of modern intellectual scrutiny. They are just now having to deal with literary criticism, comparative studies, psychology of religion, the scientific record, etc. All of these things have been directed against Christianity since they have existed, because they were all born in the Christian West. This has left a cultural hole in Islamic society. They, as a culture, never learned to "question everything" as westerners have been doing since Socrates. Only, in this century, have even Islamic textual scholars been allowed to compare the most ancient (supposedly Uthmanic) Koran manuscripts. Christians have been doing that for over a thousand years! I think this is also paired with a willingness to be intellectually dishonest. You will not find many Christian theologians (of much repute) making claims that are knowingly intellectually dishonest. They do not wish to tarnish the Christian message by defending it dishonestly. I know much (too much by some) has been made lately of the Islamic doctrine of lying for the faith, but I do believe on a certain level it is matter of the ends justifying the means. Thirdly, there is also the issue of extreme intellectual bias regarding religion. I have just been having a long back-and-forth with a Mormon over the Book of Abraham (which makes the Koran look like a masterpiece of historical and literary integrity). The willingness among Mormons to pass over obvious inconsistencies is breathtaking. They are also taught not to ask questions, by the way.
Wonder how they explain the Jerusalem counsel in Acts 15 then? Oh yeah- same way they handle other passages that don't support their views, they don't read them. Anyway, I'll add it to the list!
And that clouding of the intellect (and spiritual discernment) is what we call the veil. Muslims, not just the women, are veiled in their thinking and blindly worshipping their sheikhs and imams and 'scholars'. They don't even read and understand and accept the plain words of the Arabic Qur'an. Few of them even know Arabic and fewer know it well enough to understand the Qur'an. This leaves them not following what is in the Arabic Qur'an but the different versions in translation and again the teachings of sheikhs etc that tell them that the Qur'an often means the opposite of what the clear words say. They are truly worshipping their sheikhs etc not even the god of the Qur'an.
When Jesus said “my God, my God why have you forsaken me” not my father, he was fully man on the cross and the relationship is man and God, but notice he says this twice, My God, My God, God the Father, God the Holy Ghost, where was God the Son? He was atoning for our sins. The second person of the trinity was calling out to the other two.
@@mnoorbhai Hold on, are you asking me to tell you why you think the trinity is a fabrication? How would I know that, I'm not a mind reader. Or do you really mean to say you can't explain why you hold your opinion?
Lol, muslims don't get it... When the Quran says: "Indeed, We have granted you a clear triumph, so that Allah may forgive you for your past and future shortcomings, perfect His favour upon you, guide you along the Straight Path..." (Surah 48: 1 and 2). Who's talking? 🤣
Can we use the analogy of someone who has multiple personality disorder but he is aware of the presence of other people in his body and he is in harmonious relationship with these other persons to explain the Trinity?
Fantastic video as always, you are so correct in what you say, they mistake the persuit for the TRUTH of the exegesis of the Holy Bible!! With there quranic narrative!, there by taking advantage of us doing just that, and see it as a weakness! Very disengenuios of them!
Holy shit, i just realised how Cringy it sounded calling you "Friend" so sorry. Ahh, the cringe. I'm not used to calling random people "Friend" as a polite way of Chatting. Lol. 😅😅
Your deep dive into the actual arabic of the Qur'an is for Islam what the death blow of a the centurion was for the Jesus movement - except our Lord had voluntary laid down his life already and would be raised up again in three days by the Father. I don't see the same happening to the Qur'an as Western scholarship becomes more widely diseminated in the Muslim world.

One Question: What was the point of Jesus's miracle. What was the purpose of Jesus being virgin born who has no father? What was the purpose of this miracle?
One interesting (to me) aspect is the theological continuum. Abraham and Sarah were given Isaac via supernatural intervention. Just as this "supernatural" son signified and mediated the old covenant, a supernatural Son mediated the new covenant.
@@IslamCritiqued I think he was asking why in Muslims terms would jesus would be born virgin if he was not of god air. I have the same question for ages.

Pot calling the kettle black, you cannot seriously argue that christianity, or any type of monothiesm in that case, is not a hindrance to your intellect. any religion that requires you to believe in invisible forces and non-empirical events cannot claim to not hinder scientific development
"invisible forces" ...like magnetic or gravitational fields? You didn't think that through very well did you. "non-empirical events" You believe in plenty of non-empirical truths, you just haven't thought about it long enough to realize this. However, you would have to demonstrate Christianity isn't empirically verifiable to get your comment off the ground. Even then, it wouldn't get very far.
"If there is no archaeological evidence to the existence of jesus..." What evidence do you expect to find, exactly? And why is archaeological evidence so prioritized for you? "...important historical texts." Please tell me what stories in the Quran are historical? I'm not sure that your moral extrapolations are empirically verifiable.
@@IslamCritiqued My moral extrapolations are food for the spirit, in the quran there's a litany of stories about the prophets that can be cross-referenced with the talmud or the gospels, I look more for evidence in the texts rather than in historical evidence i was just remarking it's interesting to read about prophets from different cultures' perspective. I just think the dialogue rn in the world shouldnt be about which text hasn't been corrupted over time (bc i think we all know they all have been due to politics and humans) it should be about which prayer method brings you closer to god, to me that would be transcendental meditation bc it doesnt attach itself to any ideology, but rather is an empirical process that anyone can experience without having faith in it.
@@IslamCritiqued I understand the importance of these videos, especially now, I'm just saying imo I'd rather you try to gear these towards young confused muslims rather than to the christian community as it's more important for them in viewing the quran as an altered text, you cannot offer christianity as a byproduct of these claims as it is also a religion that has its obvious flaws and holes.
Actually your exegesis sounds pretty legit! LOL! You were not forcing the Trinity onto Islamic theology, you simply discovered it's likeness there, much like Christians discovered the Trinity from reading the Bible. But seriously, anyone who has even read a few pages of the Qur'an must have wondered why this man is so highly venerated, so much so like a god.
For people in this thread who believe that god in Islam "prays," you need to learn Arabic first before claiming that god prays for Mohammed. In Arabic, the word pray is (صلى) but the word does have, as almost all other Arabic words, means "bless," and in the tasliyah (that God Pray (in Arabic) Upon Mohammed) the word (صلى), given the Arabic Grammar that you probably don't know a shit about, means Bless not Pray.
Idiots? That's quite disrespectful. "but the word does have, as almost all other Arabic words, means "bless," -----That doesn't make sense. I think there's a typo.
Islam Critiqued Well, let me be honest, it was inappropriate to use the word "idiots." I apologize for that. Anyways, no it makes sense: if you gonna say anything and allege such claims, you need to be knowledgeable of Arabic, and the meanings in Arabic fit with its grammar; You probably don't know anything about Arabic or Arabic grammar, and are claiming a silly claim. Honey, please before claiming any unfounded claims that consist a large part of the Arabic language and Grammar, learn Arabic first.
Ahmed Ismail Now, there are several ahadith where Allah prays as well, in at-Tirmidhi if I recall, also in Bukhari the Arabic words for blessings and prayers are differentiated in the same Hadith. And, as I mentioned in this video, the word is translated overwhelmingly as “prayer” in the Quran, with the exception of this and one other time in Surah 2 where Allah “prays” again. So it is, at the least, a very odd grammatical choice given the overall context of how the Arabic lemma is used elsewhere. Now, you’ve said it doesn’t meant pray, ok, I would like to hear why you think this grammatical choice was made over baraka. I do not know Arabic, only Hebrew, which obviously has some similarities. And I do have access to tools that allow me to search various lemmas and roots in the Quran. Now, that said, my point is not really about that. I know Muslims don’t believe that Allah prays. My point here is to highlight the atrocious interpretations that Muslims have of the Bible- and they think they’re doing it right. It’s absurd. So I’ve tried several approaches to address this topic, this video is one of them: “You don’t like when I do this to the Quran? Then stop doing it to the Bible!” That’s the message here.
No, it's NOT "grammatical" choice. And while Hebrew might be kinda similar to Arabic, but the Arabic grammar is like no other on Earth. To the other part of your answer, well, your Bible and Trinity is the one that is obscure. Throughout the video, you've been saying that Islam is "incoherent." Well, no, it IS coherent. Islam: one god, no sons, no wives, no any sort of partners. In fact, the Trinity is the most absurd concept ever. Aside from its complexity and absurdity, wasn't the term "Trinity" coined long after Jesus was allegedly crucified? I mean, Christians didn't have a well-established religion till the 2th century by Justin Martyr. The term Trinity is NOT in the Bible, nor it's even clear. The other thing around is that Christianity grew, firstly, as a sect of Judaism. Then, knowing that Jews have always worshiped one god, early Christians wanted them to worship Christ. In other words, Christianity does acknowledge that Judaism is right, while there are major differences between Christianity and Judaism: Yahweh/Allah has always been the only god for Jews, but when Christianity came, it said we will "add" his "son," Jesus, to be worshiped. Is this rational? If Jesus is god and wanted Jews to worship him, they why didn't Jews do this from the very beginning, knowing that all prophets in Judaism has called for worshiping only one god; by the logic Christianity views Judaism, Jesus, as a god, didn't want Jews to worship him, but once out of the blue he decided to be worshiped by everyone!! LOL. My other point with Christianity is that a god is killed; this is absurd. The way Christianity describes how Jesus was allegedly crucified is weird: he was dragged, tortured, insulted and finally killed; this is literally an insult on a simple human being who has a little bit..just a little bit..of dignity, let alone somebody that is considered “god.” This is literally in complete odds with how a god can be in almost every single religion on planet Earth. There’s literally no religion on Earth whose god was insulted by his worshipers other than Christianity. Another point for me is Jews and Judaism in Christianity: Many Christians, especially the Evangelicals, literally worship and consider the Jews -- who totally reject,criminalize Jesus, and think he's a son of adultery, and don’t believe he’s the Messiah and, according the Christian narrative itself, they killed him -- as god’s “chosen people” and that they were “promised” the land by the lord, who’s Jesus. Apart from the hypocrisy and irrationality here of glorifying the Jews, whilst Jews themselves reject Christianity and Jesus altogether, who is the god that has “chosen” and “promised” the Jews?? I mean, isn’t Jesus the god in Christianity, right? Yes, he’s. So, how is that Jesus, since he’s the god and the lord, has “chosen” and “promised” the Jews, while at the same time, Jews themselves totally reject him and consider him a heretic?! So perhaps, you can see my argument. In fact, I DO find Judaism, in terms of the concept of god, far more logical than Christianity.
Ahmed Ismail "No, it's NOT "grammatical" choice." ---> Now wait, I thought you were going to teach me some Arabic? And it IS a grammatical choice. Why is the root translated "pray" so many times in the Quran, except for this time, in 33:56? Please give me the grammatical reason that some scholars translate it "blessing" and some, like the scholar I cited in this video, translate it "pray". "but the Arabic grammar is like no other on Earth." ---> Excellent, give me 3 examples of Arabic grammar that are like no other on earth please. If you want to talk about the Trinity, you need to watch my discourse on Trinitarian Monotheism video first. You don’t have the background knowledge to discuss this at this point. Here’s the video- czcams.com/video/ObtYkLHu_CM/video.html “Trinity” isn’t in the Bible? Oh come on. “Bible” isn’t in the Bible either. "Tawhid" isn’t in the Quran. You pretended to be an intellectual schooling me in Arabic grammar and now you’re offering the same old second grade level “Zakir Naik” objections as everyone else. Consider your line, "So, how is that Jesus, since he’s the god and the lord, has “chosen” and “promised” the Jews, while at the same time, Jews themselves totally reject him and consider him a heretic?!" You said "totally"? Are you kidding me? Have you read the book of Acts and the thousands of Jews coming to Christianity very early after the resurrection? Where is this "total" rejection you speak of? In fact, the catalyst for their conversion was that they were able to recognize Jesus as God and still be monotheists because they were primed by the divine plurality language in the Old Testament (see video above) and in their own writings as well! There is no much you simply don't know. Watch my video above for a start. Or consider this line, you say "god is killed" in Christianity. Again, another childish objection. "Death" does not mean "to cease to exist" in neither Muslim nor Christian theology. So what's the problem? Further, you do not account for Christian doctrine as clearly laid out in the text- God took on flesh, John 1:14. Two natures- a divine nature and a human nature. This objection is as bad as the unitarian/trinitarian objections I talk about in this video. If you ask "square" questions of a circle, it won't make any sense. This is why Muslims like yourself think Christian theology is incoherent. But you're too blinded by your ideology to realize your methodology is flawed- Islam Hinders the Intellect.
@Love kingdom of Believers. You don't know what you are talking about. I also doubt If you understand the Mission of the Messiah(Christ) from the Torah perspective: The Qur'an in "the Qur'an" refers to the Law of Moses. If you couldn't figure out the "title Qur'an" on the cover of the book is a fraudulent one, then it is safe to argue that you don't understand its content. "We have given you the 7 oft-repeated verses and the glorious Qur'an..." Translation: We have given you the Fatiha and the Law of Moses as the basis for your legislations in rejection of the Roman Law, the papal sacraments, and Trinity. Here is another one: "What! If this Qur'an is from God you believe not but a Rabbi among the Children of Israel attests to its similitude and believe while you proudly reject it..." Does this look like some words from God? What was the Rabbi doing in Mekka messing with Allah's revelation? LOL... Or was he just comparing two translations of the same Torah, one in Hebrew and the other in Arabic? The dude was a Prince-Legislator, a Founding Father, and a statesman. "And the stone rejected and exiled by the Mekkan builders had become the cornerstone; it's our Lord doing.!!" FALSE REPELLENT ! Jesus is Muhammad(the Praised-One), fools. A point was made but you guys missed it altogether due your poor reading skills. But the adults and the Sufis in the room know that Muhammad is not a given or personal name but a substitute title, a euphemism for Christ/Messiah. Since Jesus is said to be that Christ, then Jesus is Muhammad. We make the difference between Islam and the Arab-Qureishites propaganda contained in the Hadiths, and the "Sira Rassul Allah," etc... That marketing gimmick was meant to capitalize on the pilgrimage to Mekka and not as historical facts. Kaabahism therefore is not Islam! For the "stone that the Mekkan builders rejected and exiled had become the cornerstone..." and it is our Lord doing. We also know that when someone promulgates a Constitution like the Constitution of Medina, receives embassies, passes legislations, proclaims a tax Codes, raises armies, signs treaties, etc... with some neighborhood nations, etc..., that person is in a role of a Founding Father like George Washington, Emperor Constantine, Cyrus the Great, Caesar Augustus or Alexander the Great, etc... We don't take the word "Prophet" in the literal sense. So, If you have ever wondered why a substitute title was needed for Jesus and a name shifting for the Arabian Founding Father, here you have it: "Your people don't want to hear about Jesus. And when His name is mentioned, lo! your people burst into clamor thereby..." That is why an OPTICAL ILLUSION was created: We(the Children of Israel) send you, O Abu Quasim, among your own people so that they may believe in our God and His Messiah/Muhammad/Christ/Al-Massih, help Him, praise Him(Muhammad=the Praised-One), sing for Him evening and morning...." "Remember when Jesus asked, "who will assist me in the way of God? The disciples replied: 'we shall be the helpers of God. Bear witness we are Muslims.'" By the way, According to Acts 11:26 is a Christian he who believes Jesus to be the Messiah, that is to say Christ, foretold by Moses in the Torah but rejected by Israel. "I will send the Christ/Messiah, a Prophet/Messenger like you Moses, Him, they must listen...." Deut.18:15-19; Acts 3:22-25; Acts 7 ; John 4:24-26, etc... The word CHRISTIAN was coined in Antioch of Syria and not in Athens, Rome, or Boston. In that sense, Muslims are Christians because for Islam Jesus is the Christ announced in the Law and the Prophets, born of the Virgin Mary. You may as well check the Transfiguration in Matthew 17:1-13 where Jesus "oversees" a meeting between Moses the Lawgiver and someone who would ratify the same Law for the Arabs(the descendants of Ishmael). In Genesis, Abraham was promised many Princes for Ishmael. So the Muslims are Christians certainly not of Paul's Tradition, yet still Christians but the Americans are not... Every American should know, then, that If Jesus is Lord, it stands to reason that Nature's god is NOT. Yet, Nature's god in the Jefferson Bible and in the so-called 'Declaration Of Independence" claims just that... And this is the official position of the American government because Thomas Jefferson was the 3rd President of the United States and is the one who penned the so-called "declaration of independence" which became the Law of the land in the Constitution. Nature's god in the Jefferson Bible inspired the "Bill Of rights" and specially the First Amendment which states that every religion under nature is as valid as the next; this is why polytheism and Idol worship enjoy special protection under Natural Law which pushed out Canonical Law or Sharia Law. Nature's god states that Jesus did not resurrect because there is no such thing as resurrection of the dead; men die and worms take care of their bodies and that, most surely, wild dogs took care of Jesus' body. Nature's god claims that there is no supernatural, no miracles, no virginal birth, no revealed Law since Laws are a construct of societies and each society makes its own laws in accordance with its need. That the Ten Commandments were not revealed and are no better than the Law of Hammurabi. For Thomas Jefferson, the Apostle of Nature's god, Nature's god instituted government on earth to distribute rights without responsibility: right to liberty from morality, right to pursue happiness, happiness for all(We wonder how government will enforce happiness which is not a tangible good), and right to life... Paul, Jesus-Christ's Apostle to the "Pax Romana," on other hand instructed us that Government was instituted on earth by God to keep order, render Justice for the equality of the Children of God in view of the Last Judgment. Nature's god insists that Life stops here and that there is NO immortality: "Let's eat and drink for tomorrow we die, and nothing awaits us after death. Don't be missing out..." Jesus said man was born corrupted and can purify himself with the means God put at his disposal. Nature's god however holds that man was born perfect but got corrupted by government. We wonder If all the jails built across their lands are only for members of government. Nature's god is truly Satan who set out to contradict the True God on every single line! So If you are an American you should worry about the subversive nature of the American founding documents, America's Nature's god, and the fate of your impious founding fathers who worked hard to mislead mankind away from the Gospel. Enough of that circular reasoning. Please worry not about Islam; it has been around for more than 1000 years. I am just wondering If America would be around that long...!!! Worry about the disastrous fate of America built in the sand...!!!
If Allah is God, when he prays, is he praying to himself?
Islam Critiqued very interesting video and my answer is allah prays to himself. In conclusion, mohammed is allah and allah is Mohammed puppet
HumanFirst Tv Yet preaching the truth brought to Muhammad ﷺ more problems than anything else. Starting by his own tribe turning against him.
If Jesus is God, when he’s prostrating and praying to his Lord, is he praying to himself?

This is why the Islamic world never recovered from their Golden Age. They could never figure out why their hubris was bad for their advancement.
lol, how did they have a golden age then?
@@abdulaleem9207 Great question. Which values led to it's existence and why did the values of that empire change which led it to fail? I think you should ask these questions and search for the information.
@@SurpriseMeJT dude, I spent most of my pandemic/lockdown time probing and learning about this.
the answer is a tad bit complicated and long. however, I mention it here in brief :
wealth, patronage, a culture of learning are some important factors here. which of these does islam oppose?
also, you didn't answer my previous question.
@@abdulaleem9207 Fantastic. That's a great start. Now that we have established that the Ottoman empire had a "golden age", what happened afterwards? If Islamic values were the reason for a golden age, why is the Islamic world now the way it is? I mean where are the Islamic space shuttles or Islamic vaccines?
@@SurpriseMeJT
dude, the ottoman golden age wasnt the age of scientific advancements.
the muslim world had *two peaks*. one represented by *arabs*, the other by the *central asian turks*. the former developed fiqh, hadith and natural sciences. the latter developed arts, architecture and spirituality.
both periods saw decline by external factors. the former by mongols and reconquista and the latter by colonialism.
that said any revival needs political stability, developing a culture for learning, wealth and patronage.
This is a really brilliant video. You have a creative mind.
Thanks for watching Debra!
The most insane thing I have heard from Islam is that mohammed is the comforter/Holy spirit.
The comforter is omnipresent.
So they attribute omnipresence to mohammed. Thus committing SHIRK!
HAHA
It’s not shirk when Muslims do it. ;)
@@IslamCritiqued It's a double bull's eye.
Shirk is the unforgivable sin in Islam.

he blesses him.
@@NafiurRahmanYT lol brother, they belive God died. Leave them
@@NafiurRahmanYT Guled above was talking about the part at 9:55 in the video. This is the word. It's یُصَلُّوۡنَ (yusalluuna), from 'salah' (praying or blessing). But then the same word is also used afterwards, صَلُّوۡا (saluh), to pray for him (i.e. Muhammad). There is no mention of Allah in the second sentence. It was added in that translation. It means the only meaning that would make sense for the passage is 'pray'. Otherwise, the translation would be 'indeed Allah and His angels bless Muhammad. (That's why) O you who believe, bless him', which doesn't make sense. Why would ordinary believers be able to bless Muhammad, like Allah did to him?
@@TheKingofdans God never died. The flesh did.
It’s allowed to ask questions in islam but they have to accept the answers they get from the imam or sheikh. If he doesn’t know he’ll say “Allah knows best” and that’s it.
It's allowed...sometimes. Depends on the situation. An ex-Muslim I know told me his Imam said that if he had asked the questions he was asking (before he apostatized) back in the middle east, he would have been mutilated.
Islam Critiqued But there are also Q&A muslim channels, even in Saudi Arabia. Though it’s well possible they screen the questions first.
Yeah, you have Islam Q&A forums online as well. It depends on the types of questions that are being asked.

Great video. Loved how you flipped it to interpret the Quran from a trinitarian perspective
Thanks Andy =)
Islam sets people up with mates. This hinders using faith, endurance, wits and judgement in pursuing marital destiny and courting a soul mate. Thus is lost the strengthening of faith and discernment and perseverance of fidelity and meaningful romance that should be produced by the difficulties faith overcomes to arrive at faith's goals.
Lack of the above and forbidding of art, music, most books, and female critical thinking, plus the oversimplifying of unity and deity prevents mental stimulation.
That's absolutely true, brother! 👍
The title needs to be a T-shirt.
Formerly as an unbeliever, I used to think Christianity wouldn't stand scrutiny and examination. I can see how many Atheists and Muslims would have that assumption, as most people, including myself previously, were unwilling to commit time and effort to honestly consider the long answer. Though it's an arduous and perilous task, thank you for vlogging the long answers.
Christianity has stood up to much criticism over the years, of many different forms. This is something very new to Islam- and it shows.
Very true, I find atheist "critiques" of the Bible to be extremely shallow - almost always nothing more than repetitions of vague information they heard somewhere and not based on actual investigation.

Many Muslims watching and commenting on this video dont seem to understand the satire of IC's interpretation of Quranic material though Christian theology
Excellent Video! I don't know why I never thought of Muslims, counter arguing the text using Unitarian Monotheism, which would make the text delusional, when they should be looking at the text in a Trinitarian Monotheistic fashion.
Yes, the most frequent objections you hear are effectively, "This verse doesn't make sense from a Unitarian perspective, therefore TRINITARIANISM is false." And they don't even realize they don't know the difference. It's almost like you have to read the New Testament from a Trinitarian perspective for it to make sense. Hmmmmmm...I might be on to something.
@@IslamCritiquedyeah there's a reason the proto-Shahada on the Dome of the Rock is a polemic against the Trinity.

Very nice and good explanation bro. God bless u..
Another great video. Thank you for sharing 🙏
I think you are spot on in this video. Virtually every objection I've seen raised by Muslims against the Deity of Christ and the Trinity can be characterized as simply not understanding Christian theology and what those doctrines actually are.
Or understanding the fact that the Trinity doctrine came after the Councile of Nicæa and was mostly unitarian before
Or the fact that Jesus never said, in the whole Bible, "I am God" explicitly while it is supposed to ba a core belief
Sahar Arash - LOL! Thank you for proving my point. The council of Nicaea had nothing to do with the Trinity. Further, we have the Trinity long before the council of Nicaea in writings by church fathers such as Irenaeus. The "I am God" claim is beyond stupid and has been shot down so many times I'll not waste my time on it. Now, do you have anything intelligent to say that is supported by facts, or just more copy/paste of Ahmed Deedat?
Sahar Arash does the Quran even say anything about Tawheed with that exact term ? Was the Tawheed created at the Council of Nicea?
I feel sorry for you, the brainwashing is evident. "Councile of Nicaea" made the Trinitarian Doctrine? No, it didn't. The Council of Nicaea was for Christology, If it was Biblical to call Christ, Divine. Since 1st century, Orthodox Christians believed Jesus to be God/Divine, then in the 4th century, Arian, a heretic who made a anti-divine Christology doctrine that the Church addressed to him, Mainly, St. Alexander of Athanasius which was held at the Council of Nicaea.
The tawhid is clearly and explicitly described in the Quran. Is it problematic because the word ‘tawhid' isn’t found in it? No.
It’s different for Christianity, because the trinity theology isn’t explicitly described while tawhid simply corresponds to pure monotheism, which is found in the Quran *without* mental gymnastics
Brother by you u and CP we grow our faith strong. Thank to God for giving us such ppls

It happens due easy marriages within cousins.Because they dont have to study hard to get the best wife or husband. But don't tell them lest....
9:06 I've been making this point for a while: how often do Muslims attach honorifics to Allah's name (e.g., SWT), compared to how often they attach honorifics to Muhammad's name (e.g., PBUH)? If there were a counter in Jennah keeping count of the former, and another next to it for the latter, would Allah's count be greater, or would Muhammad's? What does that say about the true focus of Islam?
Exactly- this happens in the hadith a lot. Muhammad's name is always consistent however- always followed by the inscription. The context doesn't matter either. It could be, "...then he had their feet and hands chopped off and burned their eyes with hot nails...peace be upon him..."
Thank you for posting very valuable info. The more I listen it makes more sense with Islamic false teachings

This helps explain why MusIIms who come to Christ seem to have one thing in common: they are rational thinkers. Most people, no matter what culture they are raised in, are far more emotional than rational. Christianity commands its followers to investigate, and rationally dissect, everything. This is in part what helped build the West. A follower of Christ, talking religion with a MusIim, is like a male mechanical engineer talking about love with an actress: they will talk right past each other, unless the rational one (engineer) puts himself and his thinking in the same place as the emotional one (actress). It will be difficult for him, but it would be impossible for her.
Muslims will claim that we deny logic when we believe in the trinity by comparing it to saying 1+1+1 = 3. It's like they never heard of unity before in reality, never mind mathematics.
A great example of unity in maths are the cube roots of unity which deals with complex numbers, this is high school math(I'd suggest for anyone just to take a quick look at it). Its a beautiful abstract concept that's not obvious in nature and almost models itself after the trinity.
But hey, if muslims wanna use primitive addition, subtraction, division and multiplication to prove their point, so be it. It just shows is Islam was never meant for thinking deeply.
I am so grateful for this video.
I've felt the same for so long. I just could not understand why muffins (:)) fail all the time. Now I know.

Hey dude wassup I'm a Christian here. I just wanna tell you that when you read the verse 33:56 it actually says ".....pray for the prophet" and not "...to the prophet". I don't actually care about this small error from your side but Muslims will and then they can consider you as inconsistent with the knowledge. I hope you see this comment brother
Ahhh yes. The preposition is irrelevant- Allah prays. And that is the problem. But thanks, and you are correct- "for" not "to". At least that's the way it's translated. What the actual Arabic says, well, I don't trust Islamic scholars enough to tell us. They frequently dance around grammatical/theological issues in the Quran.
@@IslamCritiqued
Yeah and regardless of the fact of the translations, it is a big deal for Muslims. Look at this video for example czcams.com/video/pvB8alwJdYc/video.html.
I'm really enjoying your content and really looking forward to it.
Imagine if you replace all humans' names with the word man.
Man concieved and gave birth to man then gave birth again to man and in the fullness of time man offered his sacrifice and GOD accepted it, but man's sacrifice HE rejected, so man went out into the field with man and struck man, killing him, so GOD asked, "man, where is man?" And man said, "am I man's keeper?" Therefore GOD said to man, "man's blood cries out from the earth against you, man".
Then man came together with man again and she again concieved man, saying, "man is in man's own image".
Oh my God, that's hilarious!
Epic!
Good video. BTW, Do people tend to tell you that you have really good eye contact, or that the eye contact is over the top? just curious, i've always wondered about eye contact.

Love you brother may the Lord bless you by more wisdom. Not like mohmed to whom Allah had to do surgery to get wisdom in him. Funny right .
Don't listen to what people say, 'listen/look at what they do.
I very much agree with the historical part of your argument, that Islam has been shielded from intellectual criticism for most of its existence. Christianity has had to deal with the blinding, harsh, often inimical light of modern intellectual scrutiny. They are just now having to deal with literary criticism, comparative studies, psychology of religion, the scientific record, etc. All of these things have been directed against Christianity since they have existed, because they were all born in the Christian West. This has left a cultural hole in Islamic society. They, as a culture, never learned to "question everything" as westerners have been doing since Socrates. Only, in this century, have even Islamic textual scholars been allowed to compare the most ancient (supposedly Uthmanic) Koran manuscripts. Christians have been doing that for over a thousand years!
I think this is also paired with a willingness to be intellectually dishonest. You will not find many Christian theologians (of much repute) making claims that are knowingly intellectually dishonest. They do not wish to tarnish the Christian message by defending it dishonestly. I know much (too much by some) has been made lately of the Islamic doctrine of lying for the faith, but I do believe on a certain level it is matter of the ends justifying the means.
Thirdly, there is also the issue of extreme intellectual bias regarding religion. I have just been having a long back-and-forth with a Mormon over the Book of Abraham (which makes the Koran look like a masterpiece of historical and literary integrity). The willingness among Mormons to pass over obvious inconsistencies is breathtaking. They are also taught not to ask questions, by the way.
I'm editing a video now that is very much along the lines of your comment.
Never thought I would ever hear " godself"
Absolutely agree
Brother can you do video about Apostle Paul and Apostle James that they were in agreement, Muslims say James was against Pauls theology. Thanks Bro.
Wonder how they explain the Jerusalem counsel in Acts 15 then? Oh yeah- same way they handle other passages that don't support their views, they don't read them. Anyway, I'll add it to the list!
Thanks for this

allah's messenger is at least as important as allah himself. Could it be that the god of islam is... allah's messenger?
Bingo!!
The holes in the narrative has open dropped the veil
And that clouding of the intellect (and spiritual discernment) is what we call the veil. Muslims, not just the women, are veiled in their thinking and blindly worshipping their sheikhs and imams and 'scholars'. They don't even read and understand and accept the plain words of the Arabic Qur'an. Few of them even know Arabic and fewer know it well enough to understand the Qur'an. This leaves them not following what is in the Arabic Qur'an but the different versions in translation and again the teachings of sheikhs etc that tell them that the Qur'an often means the opposite of what the clear words say. They are truly worshipping their sheikhs etc not even the god of the Qur'an.
When Jesus said “my God, my God why have you forsaken me” not my father, he was fully man on the cross and the relationship is man and God, but notice he says this twice, My God, My God, God the Father, God the Holy Ghost, where was God the Son? He was atoning for our sins. The second person of the trinity was calling out to the other two.

Can we use the analogy of someone who has multiple personality disorder but he is aware of the presence of other people in his body and he is in harmonious relationship with these other persons to explain the Trinity?
Yes, I cant really explain well but I have l 3 personalities and every time I switch I am still me but my world view and memory changes .

Your deep dive into the actual arabic of the Qur'an is for Islam what the death blow of a the centurion was for the Jesus movement - except our Lord had voluntary laid down his life already and would be raised up again in three days by the Father. I don't see the same happening to the Qur'an as Western scholarship becomes more widely diseminated in the Muslim world.

Ali Dawah has your answer: czcams.com/video/THwL8l1SQHM/video.html
Pot calling the kettle black, you cannot seriously argue that christianity, or any type of monothiesm in that case, is not a hindrance to your intellect. any religion that requires you to believe in invisible forces and non-empirical events cannot claim to not hinder scientific development
"invisible forces" ...like magnetic or gravitational fields? You didn't think that through very well did you. "non-empirical events" You believe in plenty of non-empirical truths, you just haven't thought about it long enough to realize this. However, you would have to demonstrate Christianity isn't empirically verifiable to get your comment off the ground. Even then, it wouldn't get very far.
"If there is no archaeological evidence to the existence of jesus..." What evidence do you expect to find, exactly? And why is archaeological evidence so prioritized for you? "...important historical texts." Please tell me what stories in the Quran are historical? I'm not sure that your moral extrapolations are empirically verifiable.
@@IslamCritiqued My moral extrapolations are food for the spirit, in the quran there's a litany of stories about the prophets that can be cross-referenced with the talmud or the gospels, I look more for evidence in the texts rather than in historical evidence i was just remarking it's interesting to read about prophets from different cultures' perspective. I just think the dialogue rn in the world shouldnt be about which text hasn't been corrupted over time (bc i think we all know they all have been due to politics and humans) it should be about which prayer method brings you closer to god, to me that would be transcendental meditation bc it doesnt attach itself to any ideology, but rather is an empirical process that anyone can experience without having faith in it.
@@IslamCritiqued I understand the importance of these videos, especially now, I'm just saying imo I'd rather you try to gear these towards young confused muslims rather than to the christian community as it's more important for them in viewing the quran as an altered text, you cannot offer christianity as a byproduct of these claims as it is also a religion that has its obvious flaws and holes.
Muslims will say John 16:13 is fulfilled when Muhammed got called 'The Ear'!!! LOL
those absurd details sound more like ritualism which is more of a trait of the freemasons.
Islam doesn't hinders the intellect. It encourages one's intellect. Problems are those ppl who doesn't use the intellect to comprehend.
It doesn't encourges one's intellect.
Actually your exegesis sounds pretty legit! LOL! You were not forcing the Trinity onto Islamic theology, you simply discovered it's likeness there, much like Christians discovered the Trinity from reading the Bible. But seriously, anyone who has even read a few pages of the Qur'an must have wondered why this man is so highly venerated, so much so like a god.
For people in this thread who believe that god in Islam "prays," you need to learn Arabic first before claiming that god prays for Mohammed.
In Arabic, the word pray is (صلى) but the word does have, as almost all other Arabic words, means "bless," and in the tasliyah (that God Pray (in Arabic) Upon Mohammed) the word (صلى), given the Arabic Grammar that you probably don't know a shit about, means Bless not Pray.
Idiots? That's quite disrespectful.
"but the word does have, as almost all other Arabic words, means "bless," -----That doesn't make sense. I think there's a typo.
Islam Critiqued
Well, let me be honest, it was inappropriate to use the word "idiots." I apologize for that.
Anyways, no it makes sense: if you gonna say anything and allege such claims, you need to be knowledgeable of Arabic, and the meanings in Arabic fit with its grammar; You probably don't know anything about Arabic or Arabic grammar, and are claiming a silly claim. Honey, please before claiming any unfounded claims that consist a large part of the Arabic language and Grammar, learn Arabic first.
Ahmed Ismail Now, there are several ahadith where Allah prays as well, in at-Tirmidhi if I recall, also in Bukhari the Arabic words for blessings and prayers are differentiated in the same Hadith. And, as I mentioned in this video, the word is translated overwhelmingly as “prayer” in the Quran, with the exception of this and one other time in Surah 2 where Allah “prays” again. So it is, at the least, a very odd grammatical choice given the overall context of how the Arabic lemma is used elsewhere. Now, you’ve said it doesn’t meant pray, ok, I would like to hear why you think this grammatical choice was made over baraka.
I do not know Arabic, only Hebrew, which obviously has some similarities. And I do have access to tools that allow me to search various lemmas and roots in the Quran.
Now, that said, my point is not really about that. I know Muslims don’t believe that Allah prays. My point here is to highlight the atrocious interpretations that Muslims have of the Bible- and they think they’re doing it right. It’s absurd. So I’ve tried several approaches to address this topic, this video is one of them: “You don’t like when I do this to the Quran? Then stop doing it to the Bible!” That’s the message here.
No, it's NOT "grammatical" choice. And while Hebrew might be kinda similar to Arabic, but the Arabic grammar is like no other on Earth.
To the other part of your answer, well, your Bible and Trinity is the one that is obscure.
Throughout the video, you've been saying that Islam is "incoherent." Well, no, it IS coherent. Islam: one god, no sons, no wives, no any sort of partners.
In fact, the Trinity is the most absurd concept ever. Aside from its complexity and absurdity, wasn't the term "Trinity" coined long after Jesus was allegedly crucified? I mean, Christians didn't have a well-established religion till the 2th century by Justin Martyr. The term Trinity is NOT in the Bible, nor it's even clear.
The other thing around is that Christianity grew, firstly, as a sect of Judaism. Then, knowing that Jews have always worshiped one god, early Christians wanted them to worship Christ. In other words, Christianity does acknowledge that Judaism is right, while there are major differences between Christianity and Judaism: Yahweh/Allah has always been the only god for Jews, but when Christianity came, it said we will "add" his "son," Jesus, to be worshiped. Is this rational? If Jesus is god and wanted Jews to worship him, they why didn't Jews do this from the very beginning, knowing that all prophets in Judaism has called for worshiping only one god; by the logic Christianity views Judaism, Jesus, as a god, didn't want Jews to worship him, but once out of the blue he decided to be worshiped by everyone!! LOL.
My other point with Christianity is that a god is killed; this is absurd. The way Christianity describes how Jesus was allegedly crucified is weird: he was dragged, tortured, insulted and finally killed; this is literally an insult on a simple human being who has a little bit..just a little bit..of dignity, let alone somebody that is considered “god.” This is literally in complete odds with how a god can be in almost every single religion on planet Earth. There’s literally no religion on Earth whose god was insulted by his worshipers other than Christianity.
Another point for me is Jews and Judaism in Christianity:
Many Christians, especially the Evangelicals, literally worship and consider the Jews -- who totally reject,criminalize Jesus, and think he's a son of adultery, and don’t believe he’s the Messiah and, according the Christian narrative itself, they killed him -- as god’s “chosen people” and that they were “promised” the land by the lord, who’s Jesus. Apart from the hypocrisy and irrationality here of glorifying the Jews, whilst Jews themselves reject Christianity and Jesus altogether, who is the god that has “chosen” and “promised” the Jews?? I mean, isn’t Jesus the god in Christianity, right? Yes, he’s. So, how is that Jesus, since he’s the god and the lord, has “chosen” and “promised” the Jews, while at the same time, Jews themselves totally reject him and consider him a heretic?! So perhaps, you can see my argument.
In fact, I DO find Judaism, in terms of the concept of god, far more logical than Christianity.

"No, it's NOT "grammatical" choice." ---> Now wait, I thought you were going to teach me some Arabic? And it IS a grammatical choice. Why is the root translated "pray" so many times in the Quran, except for this time, in 33:56? Please give me the grammatical reason that some scholars translate it "blessing" and some, like the scholar I cited in this video, translate it "pray".
"but the Arabic grammar is like no other on Earth." ---> Excellent, give me 3 examples of Arabic grammar that are like no other on earth please.
If you want to talk about the Trinity, you need to watch my discourse on Trinitarian Monotheism video first. You don’t have the background knowledge to discuss this at this point. Here’s the video- czcams.com/video/ObtYkLHu_CM/video.html
“Trinity” isn’t in the Bible? Oh come on. “Bible” isn’t in the Bible either. "Tawhid" isn’t in the Quran. You pretended to be an intellectual schooling me in Arabic grammar and now you’re offering the same old second grade level “Zakir Naik” objections as everyone else. Consider your line, "So, how is that Jesus, since he’s the god and the lord, has “chosen” and “promised” the Jews, while at the same time, Jews themselves totally reject him and consider him a heretic?!" You said "totally"? Are you kidding me? Have you read the book of Acts and the thousands of Jews coming to Christianity very early after the resurrection? Where is this "total" rejection you speak of? In fact, the catalyst for their conversion was that they were able to recognize Jesus as God and still be monotheists because they were primed by the divine plurality language in the Old Testament (see video above) and in their own writings as well! There is no much you simply don't know. Watch my video above for a start.
Or consider this line, you say "god is killed" in Christianity. Again, another childish objection. "Death" does not mean "to cease to exist" in neither Muslim nor Christian theology. So what's the problem? Further, you do not account for Christian doctrine as clearly laid out in the text- God took on flesh, John 1:14. Two natures- a divine nature and a human nature. This objection is as bad as the unitarian/trinitarian objections I talk about in this video. If you ask "square" questions of a circle, it won't make any sense. This is why Muslims like yourself think Christian theology is incoherent. But you're too blinded by your ideology to realize your methodology is flawed- Islam Hinders the Intellect.
I knew something was wrong from the beinging
Lol.
@Love kingdom of Believers.
You don't know what you are talking about. I also doubt If you understand the Mission of the Messiah(Christ) from the Torah perspective:
The Qur'an in "the Qur'an" refers to the Law of Moses. If you couldn't figure out the "title Qur'an" on the cover of the book is a fraudulent one, then it is safe to argue that you don't understand its content.
"We have given you the 7 oft-repeated verses and the glorious Qur'an..."
Translation:
We have given you the Fatiha and the Law of Moses as the basis for your legislations in rejection of the Roman Law, the papal sacraments, and Trinity.
Here is another one:
"What! If this Qur'an is from God you believe not but a Rabbi among the Children of Israel attests to its similitude and believe while you proudly reject it..."
Does this look like some words from God? What was the Rabbi doing in Mekka messing with Allah's revelation? LOL...
Or was he just comparing two translations of the same Torah, one in Hebrew and the other in Arabic?
The dude was a Prince-Legislator, a Founding Father, and a statesman.
"And the stone rejected and exiled by the Mekkan builders had become the cornerstone; it's our Lord doing.!!"
FALSE REPELLENT !
Jesus is Muhammad(the Praised-One), fools. A point was made but you guys missed it altogether due your poor reading skills.
But the adults and the Sufis in the room know that Muhammad is not a given or personal name but a substitute title, a euphemism for Christ/Messiah. Since Jesus is said to be that Christ, then Jesus is Muhammad.
We make the difference between Islam and the Arab-Qureishites propaganda contained in the Hadiths, and the "Sira Rassul Allah," etc...
That marketing gimmick was meant to capitalize on the pilgrimage to Mekka and not as historical facts. Kaabahism therefore is not Islam!
For the "stone that the Mekkan builders rejected and exiled had become the cornerstone..." and it is our Lord doing.
We also know that when someone promulgates a Constitution like the Constitution of Medina, receives embassies, passes legislations, proclaims a tax Codes, raises armies, signs treaties, etc... with some neighborhood nations, etc..., that person is in a role of a Founding Father like George Washington, Emperor Constantine, Cyrus the Great, Caesar Augustus or Alexander the Great, etc... We don't take the word "Prophet" in the literal sense.
So, If you have ever wondered why a substitute title was needed for Jesus and a name shifting for the Arabian Founding Father, here you have it:
"Your people don't want to hear about Jesus. And when His name is mentioned, lo! your people burst into clamor thereby..."
That is why an OPTICAL ILLUSION was created:
We(the Children of Israel) send you, O Abu Quasim, among your own people so that they may believe in our God and His Messiah/Muhammad/Christ/Al-Massih, help Him, praise Him(Muhammad=the Praised-One), sing for Him evening and morning...."
"Remember when Jesus asked, "who will assist me in the way of God? The disciples replied: 'we shall be the helpers of God. Bear witness we are Muslims.'"
By the way, According to Acts 11:26 is a Christian he who believes Jesus to be the Messiah, that is to say Christ, foretold by Moses in the Torah but rejected by Israel.
"I will send the Christ/Messiah, a Prophet/Messenger like you Moses, Him, they must listen...." Deut.18:15-19; Acts 3:22-25; Acts 7 ; John 4:24-26, etc...
The word CHRISTIAN was coined in Antioch of Syria and not in Athens, Rome, or Boston.
In that sense, Muslims are Christians because for Islam Jesus is the Christ announced in the Law and the Prophets, born of the Virgin Mary. You may as well check the Transfiguration in Matthew 17:1-13 where Jesus "oversees" a meeting between Moses the Lawgiver and someone who would ratify the same Law for the Arabs(the descendants of Ishmael). In Genesis, Abraham was promised many Princes for Ishmael.
So the Muslims are Christians certainly not of Paul's Tradition, yet still Christians but the Americans are not...
Every American should know, then, that If Jesus is Lord, it stands to reason that Nature's god is NOT.
Yet, Nature's god in the Jefferson Bible and in the so-called 'Declaration Of Independence" claims just that...
And this is the official position of the American government because Thomas Jefferson was the 3rd President of the United States and is the one who penned the so-called "declaration of independence" which became the Law of the land in the Constitution.
Nature's god in the Jefferson Bible inspired the "Bill Of rights" and specially the First Amendment which states that every religion under nature is as valid as the next; this is why polytheism and Idol worship enjoy special protection under Natural Law which pushed out Canonical Law or Sharia Law.
Nature's god states that Jesus did not resurrect because there is no such thing as resurrection of the dead; men die and worms take care of their bodies and that, most surely, wild dogs took care of Jesus' body.
Nature's god claims that there is no supernatural, no miracles, no virginal birth, no revealed Law since Laws are a construct of societies and each society makes its own laws in accordance with its need.
That the Ten Commandments were not revealed and are no better than the Law of Hammurabi.
For Thomas Jefferson, the Apostle of Nature's god, Nature's god instituted government on earth to distribute rights without responsibility: right to liberty from morality, right to pursue happiness, happiness for all(We wonder how government will enforce happiness which is not a tangible good), and right to life...
Paul, Jesus-Christ's Apostle to the "Pax Romana," on other hand instructed us that Government was instituted on earth by God to keep order, render Justice for the equality of the Children of God in view of the Last Judgment.
Nature's god insists that Life stops here and that there is NO immortality: "Let's eat and drink for tomorrow we die, and nothing awaits us after death. Don't be missing out..."
Jesus said man was born corrupted and can purify himself with the means God put at his disposal.
Nature's god however holds that man was born perfect but got corrupted by government.
We wonder If all the jails built across their lands are only for members of government.
Nature's god is truly Satan who set out to contradict the True God on every single line!
So If you are an American you should worry about the subversive nature of the American founding documents, America's Nature's god, and the fate of your impious founding fathers who worked hard to mislead mankind away from the Gospel.
Enough of that circular reasoning.
Please worry not about Islam; it has been around for more than 1000 years. I am just wondering If America would be around that long...!!! Worry about the disastrous fate of America built in the sand...!!!
That explains liberals....
