Insightful as always Paul, thank you. I'm now on my 'third' faith after a shaky start to life as a monotheist. I was baptised in the CofE as many were back in the day, whether your parents were practising or not. I converted to catholicism in the early 90s following research into my family background; it was a matter of luck that I wasn't born RC considering the ethnicity of some my grandparents. And honestly I was also drawn in by the iconography/imagery which can have a powerful affect on a 'visual' person like me. Like you, I started to unearth aspects of the church/Christianity teachings that just didn't sit well and I couldn't reconcile these. Fast forward 15 years or so, I read the Qur'an, went to classes about Islam, read widely and have now embraced what, for me can credibly claim to the 'true faith' of monotheistic belief. Quite a journey but what I had to take to find the right path, alhamdulliah.
So some Christians like me believe in Arianism. God can manifest in three ways to man but only in one format at a time. So what does the Bible say happens one day. There is a new earth and a new Jerusalem and a new king who replaces Adam and His name is Jesus. Where is God. The Bible says He is way past many heavens in His own heaven and that is where He rules the universe from. Who will we see? Jesus. He will be the only God we will ever see because the Bible says that the fullness of the Godhead dwells in Him completely. Notice it does not say He is God. So maybe Christianity has confused you and that is exactly what Satan wants to do.
I grew up in Roma (Italy) but i refused Catholicism, because it felt fake to me, at the age of 7 to become an atheist. In my late teens i started to study religions again, and got a particular interest in Islam. I accepted Islam at the age of 23, and 31 years after i am grateful to be a Muslim and never looked back. All the best to those who are on their spiritual search journey.
Brother I recommend you to look into 12er Shia Islam The Prophet said to follow the Quran and AhlulBayt before the left this world. Look into Hadith Thaqlayn
@Stefen I bet you have not even studied what jihad is .Jihad is an arabic word “To try or work hard for something good” The people you are talking about are not even muslims.they just uses the label of islam. How can a true muslim kill his own muslim brotherss,how can atrue muslim can bombs the mosques the house of God,How can they kill inocent kids by bombing. They are not even muslim or related to islam in any way Our prophet Muhammad says that Those who do not respect elders and does not love childrens is not one of us.Our prophet litrely said that He is not a muslim who kill inocent people. And in Quran Almighty God said that If u kill an inocent person its like you have killed the whole mankind and if you saved one inocent life its like you have saved the whole mankind. These are all anti islamic agendas
@Stefen These are all anti islamic agendas.Bcz enemies of truth are afraid that islam is gonna take over the world soon and its a fact that islam is the world most fastest growing religion in the world. Bcz islam is clear in every aspect of life .According to islam God is one without any partners,Neither he begets nor he is begotten.He is without partners.No confusion. You have not studied even a single peice of islam .you dont even know a single word about jihad. And here you csme and started talkimg about jihad. If you realy studied islam then you would know what truly jihad is. Jihad is not killing inocent people the real jihad is to get knowledge to escape from ignorance just like you are in ignorance. First you should study islam and jihad then you should guide others about islam and jihad. and i know where you got the concept of jihadism .You media bcz your media is controlled by the enemies of islam the islamophobists who are afraid of truth thats why they make propogandas about the truth islam.Get some knowldge and the come i am ready for you to debate.peace
Yes sister do your research as much as you can.Bcz God Almighty in the Quran says that he do not like people who do not reason.God do not like people who do not use their brain and just blindly follows other people.You should study islam completely to the end of you life.And i Believe that You will guided to the truth by Almighty God Himself.Peace sister And you know islam is the arabic word for peace. And every muslim starts every thing by saying “Bismillah_er rahman_nir_rahim” that means that i starts with the name of One true God ,who is the most mercifull and forgiving. And Allah_ hu _Akbar means Almighty God is the greatest. peace sister may God save you from devil and guide you to the truth.
The only unforgivable sin is to worship god beside the Creator God ( Allah) Never worship a man Never worship creatures (Jesus or any ) Jesus Never said himself" I am God or worship me" Jesus Said 👇 "God is One, Worship the Lord your God " Jesus said" Father. only the true God" , 👇 Allah stated " I'm the only God , I'm One, No Trinity" Allah accepts only his final revelation " Islam" MSG is passed to u Search truth Jesus Is Not God And Not begotten Son Of God "People of the Book (Jews and Christians)!, go not beyond the bounds in your religion, and say not as to Allah but the truth. The Messiah, Jesus son of Mary, was only the Messenger of Allah, and His Word that He committed to Mary, and a Spirit from Him. So believe in God and His Messengers, and say not, 'Three.' Refrain; better is it for you. God is only One God. Glory be to Him -- That He should have a son! To Him belongs all that is in the heavens and in the earth.."Quran 4:171
Just found your channel, similar story here. After turning to Christianity, I studied at the Bible college. After returning from school, our pastor came with doubts regarding the divinity of Christ. In about half a year, a number of people left the church due to doubts of Bible, Christ, Trinity. I soon learned about the code 19 in the Quran and became muslim. Alhamdulillah! I am grateful Allah has been kind to me, may He guide you and protect you!
I am Muslims, and it is not good to believe in code 19 as it is not consistent with all parts of Quran, your believe should not be based on code 19, but on the message itself in the Quran :) Again, it is not as consistent as u and others might think, so don’t fall for the code 19! Read the part of the verse talking about 19 angels carefully, also watch Norman Ali khan videos regarding it. H There is so much to find out in Quran than code 19
@@hewadsaad3014If your Muslim you shouldn’t say that, code 19 is actually strong proof, we should consider that Allah shows signs to each person differently and guides them in His ways, I advise you to read the verse after, it clearly states that Allah put the code on purpose.
@yassinzao9790 Have you heard of surah al-Muddaththir? It's in there, the great secret unveiled. Mathematical composition in the Quran as Quran is structured in numbers. Every surah, verse, even letter and it's position is perfectly arranged by God.
Code 19 was debunked and was spread by a fraudulent and sleezy Muslim Sheik who was later charged but eventually assassinated by guess who…. A fellow angry Muslim man. I know surprising. 🙄 Anyways you converted to a whole new religion and a pretty morally crazy one because of code 19?
This is like Hadeth Allah said Whoever comes close to me by a handspan I draw near to him by an arm, and whoever comes to me walking, I come to him jogging?
@@spur007 it means if you make direct steps towards god, god will help and reward your efforts and you will much faster find the truth then normally by the will of god
@LOGICAL MIND Ego or nafs in Arabic is a big problem in Islam as well, but your ego seems also very big by denouncing religious people, there are many signs for gods existence whic disbelievers just gonna be ignorant about. I’m wondering do you believe in a creator or not?
My devote Christian Ex bought me a book on the history of the church. She expected it to strengthen my faith. Well she probably should have read it before giving it to me because now I'm a Muslim.
But you obviously respect her as a sister because Allah says he ordained the Gospel and Torah (Bible) and says we are just in our use of it: ‘He has sent down upon you, [O Muḥammad], the Book in truth, confirming what was before it. And He revealed the Torah and the Gospel previously, as a guide for people, and ˹also˺ revealed the Standard ˹to distinguish between right and wrong˺. Surely those who reject Allah’s revelations will suffer a severe torment. For Allah is Almighty, capable of punishment.’ Surah Ali’Imran 3:3-4 Validating God’s words cannot change: ‘And the word of your Lord has been fulfilled in truth and in justice. None can alter His words, and He is the Hearing, the Knowing.’ Surah Al-An’am 6:115 I’m sure she’d be happy to learn she can line up for a few beatings: ‘I said: Messenger of Allah, may my father and mother be ransom for you, and then I told him (the whole story). He said: Was it the darkness (of your shadow) that I saw in front of me? I said: Yes. He struck me on the chest which caused me pain,’ Sahih Muslim Hadith 2127 And all the other wonderful things Muhammad promoted like; Marrying a child: ‘Khadija died three years before the Prophet (ﷺ) departed to Medina. He stayed there for two years or so and then he married `Aisha when she was a girl of six years of age, and he consumed that marriage when she was nine years old.’ Sahih al-Bukhari 3896 Being Racist: ‘Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "You should listen to and obey, your ruler even if he was an Ethiopian (black) slave whose head looks like a raisin."’ Sahih al-Bukhari 7142 ‘I have heard the Apostle say: 'Whoever wants to see Satan should look at Nabtal.' He was a sturdy black man with long flowing hair, inflamed eyes, and dark ruddy cheeks.’ Ibn-Ishaq 243 Pagan gods (thought Satanic revelation was from God): ‘Now, have you considered ˹the idols of˺ Lât and ’Uzza, and the third one, Manât, as well?’ Surah An-Najm 53:19-20 Being Demon possessed (and trying to kill himself as a result): ‘The angel came to him in it and asked him to read. The Prophet (ﷺ) replied, "I do not know how to read." (The Prophet (ﷺ) added), "The angel caught me (forcefully) and pressed me so hard that I could not bear it anymore.’ Sahih al-Bukhari 6982 ‘But after a few days Waraqa died and the Divine Inspiration was also paused for a while and the Prophet (ﷺ) became so sad as we have heard that he intended several times to throw himself from the tops of high mountains and every time he went up the top of a mountain in order to throw himself down, Gabriel would appear before him and say, "O Muhammad! You are indeed Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) in truth" whereupon his heart would become quiet and he would calm down and would return home. And whenever the period of the coming of the inspiration used to become long, he would do as before, but when he used to reach the top of a mountain, Gabriel would appear before him and say to him what he had said before.’ Sahih al-Bukhari 6982 Calling for slaughter of unbelievers (wouldn’t an almighty God want peace and as many saved as possible like Jesus preaches): ‘Kill them wherever you find them, and drive them out from where they drove you out, as Fitnah (to create disorder) is more severe than killing. However, do not fight them near Al-Masjid-ul-Harām (the Sacred Mosque in Makkah) unless they fight you there. However, if they fight you (there) you may kill them. Such is the reward of the disbelievers.’ Surah Al-Baqarah 2:191 Exalting Jesus (1st as sinless and uncorrupted, unlike Muhammad & all human beings): The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "When any human being is born. Satan touches him at both sides of the body with his two fingers, except Jesus, the son of Mary, whom Satan tried to touch but failed, for he touched the placenta-cover instead."’ Sahih al-Bukhari 3286 (2nd as Allah’s “word” making him eternal): ‘Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "He who bears witness that there is no true god except Allah, alone having no partner with Him, that Muhammad is His slave and His Messenger, that 'Isa (Jesus) is His slave and Messenger and he (Jesus) is His Word which He communicated to Maryam (Mary) and His spirit which He sent to her,’ Riyad as-Salihin 412 (3rd as the Messiah which can only be the OT Jewish messiah which is Immanuel - “God with us” making Jesus God [al-Masih means Messiah]) ‘Water was trickling out of them. He was leaning on two men, or on the shoulders of two men, and he was circumscribing the Ka'bah. I asked, What is he? It was said: He is al-Masih son of Mary.’ Sahih Muslim 169 Finally, dying the prophesied false prophet death: ‘And if he (Muhammad ﷺ) had forged a false saying concerning Us (Allah). We surely would have seized him by his right hand (or with power and might), And then We certainly would have cut off his life artery (aorta), And none of you could have withheld Us from (punishing) him...’ Musnad Ahmad 107 ‘The Prophet (ﷺ) in his ailment in which he died, used to say, "O `Aisha! I still feel the pain caused by the food I ate at Khaibar, and at this time, I feel as if my aorta is being cut from that poison."’ Sahih al-Bukhari 4428 If we’re going to pretend Christianity is false and illogical let’s make sure we are aligning with something morally better not far worse then we’ll understand such a feat is impossible, “1 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; 2 Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron; 3 Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth. 4 For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving: 5 For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer. 6 If thou put the brethren in remembrance of these things, thou shalt be a good minister of Jesus Christ, nourished up in the words of faith and of good doctrine, whereunto thou hast attained.” 1 Timothy 4:1-6

I am so impressed by people who study Quran and then become muslims. I was born in a muslim family. I didnt really read Quran until my life turned upside down in my 20s. I was looking for answers so opened the Quran and then I realized what happened. Where my mistakes were and what were trials. Its us who forget what our purpose is.
@Lolo Pepe 😂😂😂this is what you got?don't make us laugh.dis you ever read Quran? Muhammad killed 700 Jews in one day(is this mankind) Muhammad killed a mother when she was breast feeding newborn baby ,beheaded infront of baby(is this mankind) Muhammad killed a women -tied both legs on 2horses and pulled both sides and killed,just bz she wrote song about Muhammad (is this (Is this all mankind) He never done any miracle He never saw Allah Allah never talk to Muhammad like god talk to moosa Muhammad become prophet after his 40s ,can't believe it Muhammad never seen Gabriel,he saying only sound,,but his wife kadija says he is a psycho. Ayisha said his clothes always covered up with semen after he forget to take bath before pray sometimes.etc (Do you think this all mankind)answer me. Read now
You mean the quran written by a person who claimed that God spoke through him 😂 It's a con man's work and the amount of people who follow that cult today is staggering. Hopefully people realise sooner or later that the concept of God was fairy tale and it was said to bring people to 'Order'.. Out of all fairy tale, you chose Islam, the least creative and violent one 😂
I too "lost" my Christian faith by going to college and majoring in Theology. For years after I was lost. I knew I needed and wanted God in my life but had no idea how. Then I studied Islam (which I had passed over disinterestedly in college) after 9/11 and realized that all the things I still believed and those I did not anymore were all contained in the Islamic faith. And all those things you said you believe and stopped believing are exactly what I am talking about. Alhamdulillah I became a Muslim 18 years ago. I just found your channel and have only listened to 2 of your videos so far. Inshallah, I mean to listen to many more. But your beliefs sound like you are a Muslim to me, if you then also accept the Prophet Muhammad pbuh. Inshallah, you will or already have. I see you have many videos about Islam so I suspect it is the latter. Asalaam alikum brother. And jazakallah for such a wonderful channel and videos.
I became Muslim 12 years ago My mama became Muslim 10 years ago My 2 brothers became Muslim 11 years ago All praise is due to Allah for guiding us to Islam . Love from New Zealand .
Romans 1:16 - King James Version 16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. (The Letter of Paul to the Romans) Romans 5 - King James Version 18 Therefore as by the offence of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life. (offence of one - Adam's one trespass, one sin, led to the condemnation of all men - the righteousness act of one was Jesus' death on the cross to pay for human sin) Salvation is not getting your sins forgiven, it's believing they already are! We are all sinners and fall short in God his glory - how to be saved - this is the gospel of salvation - 1 Corinthians chapter 15 verses 1-4 by trusting and believing the gospel of salvation you are saved and sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise till the day of redemption and nothing can pluck you out of the Father his hand - (In whom we have redemption through his blood , even the forgiveness of sins: (Colossians 1:14 - King James Version) - eternal security is a free gift - it's a promise and God Almighty cannot lie!!! Have a blessed day! This is the gospel of salvation - 1 Corinthians chapter 15 verses 1-4 Witnesses of Christ's resurrection. 1) Moreover,brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; 2) ''By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. 3) For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; 4) And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures.

KJV - Bible verses about Jesus is God John 1:1 - In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. John 1:14 - And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth. John 10:30 - I and my Father are one. Isaiah 9:6 - For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.

G - GRACE R - RIGHTLY A - APPLIED C - CHANGES E - EVERYTHING Religion is always dealing with you and what you're doing and what you're not doing, anytime you're sitting around thinking what should I be doing you're under religion, the grace of God is dealing what Christ did. Under religion man always says look what I'm doing for you God and under grace Christ says look what I did for you man. Under religion man says look how I went to church under the grace of God Jesus said look how I went to Calvary. Under religion man says look at how I was raised in my denomination and under grace Christ says look how I was raised from the dead. Under religion man says look at how I gave my money and under grace Jesus says look at how I gave my life. Under religion man says look God at how I confessed my sins and under grace Jesus says look man how I took away your sins. Under religion man says look God at how I stood up against sin and under the grace of God Jesus says look man at how I died for your sins. Under religion man says look God at how I judged the lost world and under grace Jesus says look man at how I saved the lost world. Under religion man says look God at how I got up and marched against these evildoers and under grace Jesus says look man how I suffered and died for evildoers. Under religion man says look God at how I bow down to you and under grace Jesus says look man and how I became one of you. Under religion man says look God at how I healed the sick and under grace Jesus says look man how I raised the dead. Under religion man says look God at how I spoke in tongues and under grace Jesus says look man at how I spoke in life. Under religion man says look God at how successful my life was and under grace Jesus says looked me at how successful my death was. Religions my friends is always man trying to reach up to God with self effort to be accepted by God. Through classic Christianity was God reaching down to man through Jesus with love and acceptance and that's why Paul said we preach Christ and Christ crucified a stumbling block to the Jews foolishness to the Gentiles but to those whom God has called both Jews and Gentile Christ the power of God and wisdom. Source ''Truth Time Radio''. Like many "Christians" today, Satan believes Jesus died on the cross, but not for HIS sins. He believes Jesus has risen, but not for HIS eternal life. Satan believes the event of the cross but never put his trust in Christ's finished work for salvation. Salvation is not: Believing there is a God. (Satan believes that) Salvation is not: Believing Christ was the Messiah. (Satan believes that) Salvation is not even... Believing Christ died, was buried and rose the third day. (Satan believes that also) Salvation is: Believing Christ died for YOUR EVERY SIN and trusting that He rose to give you eternal life IN HIM! Something Satan and most Christians want no part of because of their PRIDE! If denominationalists truly believed Christ forgave their sins, they wouldn't spend so much time trying to GET them forgiven. One tells you to pray for forgiveness. One tells you to confess for forgiveness. One tells you to believe for forgiveness. One tells you to repent for forgiveness. One tells you to be baptized for forgiveness. And keep in mind, all of these folk with a straight face will tell you Christ DIED for your sins. Welcome to Nutsville!!! I think Dorothy got lost on the yellow brick road. Today I unapologetically proclaim that there is only one way to be saved, and it has nothing to do with getting your sins forgiven. Salvations through FAITH. (Ephesians 2:8-9) Without faith it is impossible to please God. Salvation comes to those who are ready to give up on THEIR performance and rest their faith in JESUS' performance. The path to salvation is narrow. SO narrow that nothing you do will fit. Satan will never be saved for the same reason he was kicked out of heaven. P-R-I-D-E. (Isaiah 14:12-14) Read carefully and count how many times he says "I". How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High. Satan is obviously a Narcissist! Like a vain person in front of the mirror, five times in only three verses he boasts of himself. Pride keeps Satan from being saved as it does most of the world. They have fallen victim to SELFIANITY and are incapable of letting go and letting God. Incapable of taking their filthy hands off their salvation and allowing God to save them by HIS finished work! If you say --- "I said a prayer for forgiveness." "I confessed for forgiveness." "I believed for forgiveness." "I repented for forgiveness." "I was baptized for forgiveness." Then sadly you have fallen for the five I's just like Satan. Salvation is not getting your sins forgiven, it's believing they already ARE! To be saved, you must first get "I" out of the way. You only get two educations, the one you're given and the one you give yourself! Source ''Truth Time Radio'' for solid teaching/rightly dividing the word of truth - also here on youtube - learn the truth and unlearn the lies! Here is a list of statements that a legalist might say or think. 1. God's love for me depends on what I do. 2. Meeting the expectations of others, especially those in my congregation or in positions of authority, is very important. 3. I try hard to obey God and it irritates me that others think they can get away with avoiding the same level of dedication. 4. My main goal in life is to try to gain God's favor by doing things that will impress him. 5. My sense of spiritual well-being is linked to a Christian leader or membership in my church rather than a personal relationship with God. 6. I tell my children not to do something in church or around other Christian families that I allow in my home. 7. I believe my way is the best way and that most other Christians may be sincere, but are sincerely wrong. 8. I sometimes worry that people might take advantage of grace if it's preached too much - people might think they can do anything they want. 9. After being around Christians for a while I feel drained - weary of putting up a false front. 10. It’s not possible that someone with lower standards than me could love God as much as me.
I am nowhere near as educated or intelligent as you, but I too lost my Christian faith in school. I took a compressed seminary program for two years then began pursuing a religion and philosophy degree at a private Christian college. In short, learning about the Hellenization of Christianity and having a scholar/professor confirm that what was written in the Bible was mostly exactly what the writers wanted to write, both in the old and New Testament, and that is what they meant by God breathed, and not that’s they were necessarily the words of God, ended up finally allowing me to cut the cord and step into Islam. Alhamdulillah.
Al-hamdulillah! I used to follow you, because you seemed so sincere when you spoke about religion. And now I find out that you have become my brother. This makes me truly happy. I am also a convert, and ex Christian.
@@eddierocksteady5740 that's incorrect to say, they are historical figures that definitely existed as far as I'm concerned, not sure about Muhammad but he probably existed to considering the rise of Islam in its early days
Mbulelo Tshofela.you just called yourself posses with an unclean spirit cos you are inspired by a man who accepted islam when he mean islam is more worst than Christianity. It proves who you are when you say in you comment " I am happy that we are many". The posses one with an unclean spirit in the gospel of Mark chapter 5 verse 9 said the same words.
It is not my problem that you cannot read. Secondly, read my comments in context, you will be able to see what i see and hear what i hear. Stay blessed.
Have you looked in the topic of the Shroud of Turine and Ron Wyatts finding of the ark of the covenant? If you realize what those are you will know that Jesus is indeed resurrected. That is the only proof and truth of Christianity which is important.
I asked Google the fastest growing religion in the world and its Islam. Then I asked who is the greatest man in the world and it said The Prophet Mohammed peace and blessings be upon him!! Wow
Surely Prophet Muhammad is greatest man over the world. For my perspective as well since I am Muslim. However I have to say google has the mechanism that work on where you search it. It thinks about the perspective of the location.
Studying Islam for many years i decade to become a Muslim after doing my own research in Christianity i found out there were two many pagan beliefs that were added into Christianity
Brother Paul, you're a huge inspiration to Islam. It reminds me of Omar ibn Al khatab when he entered Islam because of this good character, which was an great impact on the arab society and also a lot of people entered Islam because of his shahada :) May Allah increase your knowledge.
Why does shahada include Muhammad? I thought Muslims believe in Allah, and that is the most important to them. Also, why is there no mention of Jesus in the shahada although Jesus is still alive even according to the Quran, and Muhammad died long time ago?
Tombuddy your question is simple the prophet Muhammad is included in the shahada because of many reasons that can be found in the Quran and the sunnah and jesus peace be upon him is already considered or accepted as a mighty messanger of Allah no Muslim is a Muslim if he does not believe in jesus peace be upon him not as god but a mighty messanger. There are numerous verses in the Quran instructing Muslims to follow the example of the prophet Muhammad peace be upon and to obey him especially in the aspect of worship. We are told in many verses of the Quran to obey Allah and obey his messanger and that without a shadow of doubt he is inspired by God to convey message to the people
@@tombuddy100 if you were a Christian and you accept Islam then you can also state that “I believe that Prophet Issa (Nabi Issa)the son of Maryam peace be upon them is a prophet of the Almighty”. This statement testifies to the miraculous birth and restores the honour to the mother of Jesus in regards to her chastity. I would recommend you watch Sheikh Khalid Yasin a former Christian who tried all denominations before accepting Islam. Especially the historical Jesus. Also Yusef Estes and Merciful Servant.
@@tombuddy100 Because Jesus the Messiah son of Mary was a localized Prophet sent only to the isrealites, as was Moses peace be upon them all. If you and I were living in his time 2000 years ago and wanted to be muslims, our Shahada would literally be something like John 17:3 "Now this is eternal life: that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent." Muhammed peace be upon him is Your prophet, my prophet, and the prophet of the entire world till the end of time. " _And We have not sent you (O dear Prophet Mohammed - peace and blessings be upon him) except as a mercy for the entire world_ " Quran 21:107.
“We will show them Our signs in the universe and within themselves until it becomes clear to them that this ˹Quran˺ is the truth. Is it not enough that your Lord is a Witness over all things?” [Qur’an 41:53] ✨
Minus the religious justifications you clarify, I just love hearing you speak. A very read man, listening to you is like reading an English story book, full of graphic illustration added to the story to make it ever so gripping to want me listen right to the end of the clip instead of moving on to another clip.
@there are 37differentqurans aggree with you bro.. Zayd ibn Thabit alredy rewrite Quran numerous time and the funny thing is they use it until now and claimed quran never changes...such a propaganda.. Muslim will denied this because the Taqiyyah is islam foundation...why allow lying if you really at truth religion? I am done with Islam, nothing can help they now... Shameful religion.
It's like listening to my own story. At the beginning it was difficult to realise or acknowledge. But then it became such a strong realization that I had to accept it and to make kind of a list, just like you, what I believe and what I don't. I was in this state for few years, thinking and looking around for others like me. I thought it should be somewhere a group, It can't be just me who thinks the way I do....And I sincerely asked God for guidance. And I discovered Islam. It was an eye opening experience, I found it logical and making sense for me, like: yes, this is exactly how I understand relationship with God. I also liked that there is kind of complete life instruction from daily life to spiritual things.After another few years my mind was convinced about choosing Islam, but the problem was that my heart wasn't there. It's like I was accepting it rationally, but wasn't completely connected spiritually, emotionally (hard to explain), it's like it didn't penetrate my heart yet to feel I'm part of it, part of brotherhood. So I decided to give myself some time, I went to Islamic centre to take some classes and give myself a year to think if I can accept it or maybe walk away (because it was a life changing decision, not easy, I had worries how people around would react so I have to be certain before I do anything). And very next day it just happened, it was unexpected, just during the class as I was listening to a lecturer it's like I woke up or came to awareness that I feel it, that I am Muslim. All my worries were gone at that moment, and instead there was one - I have to say shahada, if I don't do this today I might die tomorrow not being one. I believe what happened during that class was a gift from God, guidance I asked before, because in a sense I came one person to the centre and left it being another one (with light of believe). I'm 49 now, and that was 18 years ago. PS Oh, and by the way, I took it quite seriously after that. I went to Syria to study Arabic and continued into studying Islamic theology there. But then war started and I had to leave. Haven't finished. But happy to be able to read Quran and Ahadeeth myself, opinion of scholars and be able to come to conclusions myself. that was important for me, not to be dependant on translations only.
God is the epitome of Holiness because He is sinlessly perfect, A sinner (liar, sexually immoral, taking the Lord’s Name in vain, thief etc) cannot be in the presence of God or else he will be utterly consumed therefore repent of your sins and put your faith in Jesus as your Lord and Saviour to go to Heaven.
Who was the way, the truth and the life prior to Jesus? Say during during Abrahams era? Or during the time of Moses? Every prophet was the way , the truth and the life for the people of their time.
Everyone who has made a video like this has a different explanation as to why they questioned Christianity. All of them are insightful, spot on, true and I just love it.
I left Islam after learning Muhammad was fake and most of the things he said were lies. He copied Tora and Bible, made his own religion to control people.
I was Christian but never really satisfied with ,therefore i started studying Islam ☪️ and each single piece of puzzle started fitting in the right place , all the questions were perfectly answered for me, i received the best arguments , the most logic answers which made me choose this path ! I think is the best thing that i did in my life and now my entire life has a deep meaning ! I know why i am on this earth , i know whats my purpose on this life and i know where i am heading towards ! Islam and the last Holy Book which is Coran sent for humanity with all the rules and regulations which are for our own benefits and the last guidance for us made me a “human being ! “ And i agree as well that when Allah guides somebody to Islam and opens their heart to see His message definitely those are special people ! I hope everybody could see the message and stop wasting their lives with temporary pleasures of this world 🌎 ❤
@@rightly-ordered she isnt part of the trinity, do you not read English when God tells Jesus if he told the people ti worship him and his mother aside from God?
@@rightly-ordered Lad are you dumb? Worshipping anyone besides God is not indicative of the trinity this is actually laughable english grammar dear Lord. The trinity is already condemned separately.
@@rightly-ordered besides does not mean in addition to a trinity, any worship to anyone who js not God is worshipping anything besides God, i.e not God, or away from God and for other things. Which is what polythiests do, as they associate partners. Secondly, the roman orthodox have cojned Mary as the 'mother of God' whjch is pure blasphemy and illogical. They venerate her and some catholics pray to her. Do you really think this was some mindless mistake🤣🤣🤣
That is crucially important for becoming Muslim as an old Christian. An opportunity for the hearts that feel and will feel closer to Islam. And i pray here may Allah introduce you with them on social media or in real. And our learning never ends...Amin
Alhamdullilah! I was born to a Lebanese Muslim father and white Christian mother. I went to a catholic school and neither of them pushed religion on me. After a near death experience I found Islam and reverted. I was amazed at how logical and reasonable it is! Keeping all the beauty of Christianity minus the pagan/fairytale elements that make unreasonable demands on rationality, trinity etc. Thank you for your information, very revealing re the Bible.
The main problems here is, gospel, bibble, even Hadiths and Quran it self were being corrupted... If you follow historical information till nowadays, you would know what's behind these... When we had lost a lot of manuscripts due to war and political purposes. And when the conquers does desired to change the history... It has begun...
@@necesitos11 Honestly speaking the Quran has not been corrupted. It's an Oath taken by the Blessed King who has sent it down that He will Protect the Quran .And this comes from someone who has memorized the whole Quran.All praise is due to Allah.
@@ahmedfazel6682 don't be too naive... Actually there's a Hadith proof it. When God order our Prophet to choose 7 of the companion. So, Quran now is different from when it's born. When it should to be 7 books in 7 versions, but now is only 1 book wich was written after our Prophet's death, the remake one's, the ustman version, there was a convention about this... I think You could not guarantee, whether the remake one's has no changed, removed or added And you know, the 7 version of ordered to be burnt by ustman, I read it, that's the reason why he hasn't good relations with them And I got many points, the remake one's has some contradictions each other and some hadiths. That's why it could split the Muslims into many sects till nowadays. But fortunately (in my opinion), ustman didn't capable to change every verses, the easiest way was adding the verses, he has did it. While he and his companion didn't have capabilities to removed n changed all verses, that's why there are so many contradictions And it's not too bad for me as well, I still read it and recite it. But always keep on my mind wich verses I should take, I needs to use my brain as well wich were the authentic's.
@@necesitos11 My Dear you are speaking about one of the best and closest of companions to The Prophet Muhammad(S.A.W). His fear would be too great to ever change anything in the Quran .Haven't you read that Allah is all Seeing And all Hearing.
My experience with Christianity is almost identical to your own. I loved being an Evangelical Christian, loved having a community of brothers and sisters in Christ, and feeling that I could be useful in leading people to Him. However, I have always been a keen researcher, and in order to dispel my growing doubts, I delved deeper and deeper. Unfortunately, (or perhaps fortunately), my studies, rather than dispel my misgivings, only increased them. To the point that I had to leave Christianity. This was a great loss for me in many ways, not the least of which was the disappearance of all my Christian friends. I am now beginning my search into Islam, and I find your Blog exceedingly helpful. Thank you.
Alhamdulillah. May Allah be with you. I was once a Roman Catholic, then became a Born Again Christian. A few years ago accepted Islam. Having read the Bible over and over again, I am amazed to find the Truth in the Holy Quran and that there are no contradictions in regard to what exists in the Bible regarding the Prophets and other incidents. Masha'Allah.
@Mary Gomes Mary is the only woman mentioned by name in the Quran. Others are referred to as the 'spouse'. Adam was the first man created and from him his wife
@Religion comes first Islam comes first Thanks brother for encouragement. Am sister, by the way,😊 All these who post such remarks have never read the Quran. If only they would read the Quran, their lives would change forever.
@Truth Speaker but judgement day is near, we have had many many many prophets before the last. Each prophet going back lived hundreds to a thousand years. The Qur'an is not even a thousand years old, so in comparison to the total time spent by God sending messengers, a thousand years is a mere speck of sand in an hourglass that falls till judgement day. Currently, signs of judgement day are clear, so it's true that it is near.
@Truth Speaker We know he saaws lived 600 hundred years after Jesus (as) but we believe he saaws received revelation.It's not his (saaws') knowledge, it's God's, just like all the prophets (pbut). The New Testament writers weren't prophets (pbut) and didn't claim to be and no one knows who even wrote them with certainty. So yeah there is a difference and logic behind it. And it matters that the Gospel of John came that much later because people claim it was written by a disciple but if it was written in a certain time it clearly was not written by a disciple or eye witness as the claim goes.
I believe the voice from people who converted to Islam a lot more is powerful than people who was born as Muslims. your voice matters. Thanks for sharing your story. 🙏🙏
All Humans need to repent & Believe in Jesus. Why? Because all Humans have sinned (lied, lusted sexually, stolen, dishonoured parents etc). Avoid the fires of Hell (justice of God) and choose Heaven today. Jesus defeated death by rising from the dead. GOD IS HOLY
@@Dailymailnewz Look ill share something personal. I’ve personally seen Jesus (Not worthy), Heaven and Hell. Hell is worse than what you think (I was shaking after that experience), and Heaven is better than what you think. I have also received a personal healing miracle, I can go into details if you want. This is how God works. If you give Him the benefit of the doubt, He gives you more and more. Would I spend even 2 minutes preaching if I had an ounce of doubt? (I’ve experienced way too much)
This is not true and it should not be a competition. We all have a duty towards this religion in an equal way. But I agree reverts indicate that Islam is doing well.

Even having been born into a Muslim household, I merely adhered to the ritualistic part of the religion. Could never attain the inwardly contentment that was lacking. It was only much later in life that I seriously studied the Quran and applied its teachings to my dealings with God and other humans that I was able to achieve some level of inner peace and security.
Same here. I think most Muslim parents fail their children by not exposing them to the fullness of Islam. We would only hear about hell and how terrible it would be. Only with age did I read the quran and the hadith and realised it was the complete opposite. Kindness, compassion, loyalty, and morality were all encouraged. I have a certain peace inside that I didn't have before. Inshallah every Muslim will experience this truth too.
Thank you so very much for this because I’ve been praying for truth and then I found this and I for a long time have believed everything that you just pointed out in this video but I was trying to have faith I was trying not to question the church. You will know the truth and the truth will set you free! Please keep making videos I want to learn more.
@@bluellamaslearnbeyondthele2456 "mushrikin" means peoples whom associate with God (Allah in Arabic ,Elohim in Hebrew) other gods (idols in this case). Arab mushrikin thought that worshiping those idols help them come closer to God. Mohamed (PBUH) told them to worship Allah alone and discard worshiping any other god or deity. what Cool Desert Knight said is a mockery not a defense. And what Flaperons said is simply a lie. You can check for that on Google or (if you like) any Islamic center.
@@aymenhakim3136 as much as appreciate your answer or rather, you answering... I have to ask another more uncomfortable question. So you make a distinction between Mohammed's diety and all other disqualified gods, that are deemed idols, because they have some form? Is this just a tangible to non-tangible transition? (Christians would have statues or paintings of diverse entities, yet still would be considered of the book.... But it still is kind of that simple.) So Allah would be a diety that is less tangible, plus, it has biblical roots (Gabriel, monotheism, plagiarized passages taken over with a certain filter... ) Mormons do the same thing though. Swear on slapping the right book onto the NT and claim continuity. Is the Mormon god an idol? One could probably look at many invisible, no-statue, gods like these. So why are you associating with the right one and not them?
@@bluellamaslearnbeyondthele2456 I will try my best to answer your question, however please note that I'm not a scholar and I have a shallow awareness of the of the differences between Christians sects. So I cannot highlight the exact issue on a particular sect like someone who already able to do comparisons. I will talk from a "pure" Islamic view along with my understandings. If this is not sufficient you may need to consider talking to Muslims whom are more in contact with Christian culture. Yet I hope my answer will be useful to you. When I say God or Allah or "The Creator" I refer to the Supreme Being who created and sustain this whole universe and who made an awareness of his existence in every human being along with a basic understanding for his attributes. Be careful: I've said awareness of his existence not his name. names are more or less labels. And they differ from one language to another. But this is a big claim. right? Unfortunately this claim is deniable. But think a moment about that: what makes peoples from most religions to agree on most of God attributes "naturally" and assume easily that what they are telling each others about God is understandable even that they are fully aware that their religions is different? it is as if they are implicitly agreed at some point that God has such and such attributes and that they are just reminding each others of such information. for that you find that they usually rather than asking:"do God in your religion do xyz?" say firmly:"God does not do xyz!". This is not (only?) affirmation of what this person think but an assumption that the listener have what it take to understand and (hopefully) comply. Please note that this is not a "proof". This is a sign. As a conclusion: it's futile to to think that peoples could fail to recognize which god we are talking about when we refer to him as The Supreme Being, The Creator and Sustainer of the world. However, peoples differ in what they associate with God in terms of attributes and other claimed gods. Now that this has been clarified let's return back to some points: * Arabs idol worshipers does not worship idols only, they worshiped God (Allah in Arabic language, the supreme being, creator and sustainer) and idols. As I said in the earlier comment, they associated with God other (false) gods. They thought that those other gods represented by idols will help them to come closer to God. * Christians where also considered among the mushrikin because they associated with God two other entities (at least): Jesus (PBUH) and Holy Spirit. We consider Jesus to be one of mightiest messengers of God, and Holy Spirit to be the Angel Gabriel. And we consider that all messengers of God come in order to instruct peoples to worship God only. Lot of debates occurs here. if you are interested consider watching the most famous ones on youtube. * You need to consider that in case of scriptures, it's totally normal to find similar stories. In fact When you consider that God is unpleased by the deviation of doctrine, fabrications and interpolations in the bible: it really make sense to resend those stories and instructions (corrected) to the peoples. this is not plagiarization. It's up to God Almighty to decide when and where he will send a prophet and what kind of content he know to be appropriate and useful to peoples! As an answer to your last question: there are many factors I cannot even summarize them in a comment (I've actually spent some hours on writing this comment so far, trying to make as few grammar mistakes as i can while be precise and clear about what i wrote) so i will chose two factors among them: * All prophets before Mohamed(PBUH) have instructed their peoples to look for the next prophet (or at least to simplify this discussion does not claim themselves to be the seal of prophets), this make their followers obliged (in religious context) to look for those prophets and follow them. If Mormons or any other sect reject the message of Mohamed(PBUH) then they must have strong evidence to reject. Until now despite of the debates I watched (Muslim/Christian, not Mormon in specific) I cannot find one. * As a Muslim I didn't find other religions that came close to what Islam present on many aspects. In fact many peoples converted/reverted to Islam because they got answers they didn't find otherwise. maybe this factor sounds too personal. but yeah it's a legitimate one. I hope you found this useful. And I think I have answered your questions either directly or indirectly.
Although I born as a Muslim and native Arabic speaker, L learned about the beauty of Islam from the newcomers 🌹 Hoping that Allah guide us all to the best
İndeed sister, new Muslims can bring new perspectives and if it happens that we look from these new perspectives we can see things about our religion and ourselves previously unnoticed. Also converts from Christianity are very special. Quran so often praises certain Christians that I cannot help thinking Quran treats them as special. It seems it is a divine appointment. My best wishes to everyone here. May Allah reward you in this world and in ahira
@@SR-df9jd Thank you for this detailed message. Growing in a muslim house is a very good and precious thing but as with every other thing, bcs of lack of comparison or lack of seeing it from outside we may not be aware of certain perspectives. But I do not want to devalue living in a muslim house bcs if it is a good house that grows children as good muslims we may achieve feraset that is spesific to believers. Feraset is quite similar to awareness. So I think we are both mutually enrichening for one another and I thoroughly agree on the opinion that we must understand scholar converts. This can refresh us. And sometimes very importantly make us differentiate what is traditional and what is directly from religion. Bcs we do not have merely religion in our muslim majority countries but also some sociological staff. For example in some parts (only some and by far minority) of my country (i.e. Turkey) parents may be unwilling to give heritage to daughters or there may be blood feuds (again very little amount but still there is even after 100's of years of muslim existence) which are clearly against the principles of Islam. So seeing our own selves from another perspective may be very useful for improving our own selves and communities. May Allah give blessings to all of us in this world and hereafter. Best wishes.
Muslim: Who created Jesus Christ? Christian: God Muslim: Who is God? Christian: Jesus Christ Muslim: Who was Jesus Christ worshiping? Christian: To God Muslim: Who is God? Christian: Jesus Christ
I agree that Catholicism has serious problems, and Anglicanism has some as well. You made a big mistake by looking for RELIGION instead of TRUTH. Jesus is the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father except through Him. Islam is based on denial of historical facts concerning Jesus. It also tries to minimize the role which Israel played in salvation history. The Arabs were envious of the Jews for a long, long time before 1948. They still pretend that Jewish land is theirs. ree that Catholicism has serious problems, and Anglicnism has some as well. Yo
@Blogging Theology I was a Christian for 32 years. I posted a video called "Why the Christian God Cannot Exist" one week before you made this video. In that video I talk about the time statements and why they cannot be escaped. I see that they helped lead to your deconversion as they did mine as well. I also discuss in the video who I think Paul and the first century Christians were. I'm not sure if my conclusions will surprise you but feel free to check it out if you have time or are interested. Thank you for sharing your story.
What do you mean? Why do you think so? The Christian God is the Father alone. That's is what Jesus said numerous times. Check the Gospels in the Bible. So, what's the problem? It's not what Christians "traditionally" believe, but what is written in the Bible, which they should believe.

See the verse below please. Allah is likened to Light of a lamp! Now the questions:- 1. Who is the olive oil? 2. Who is that blessed Olive Tree which produced the Olive oil? Means 3 generations spoken here!!!!!!!! 1. The Light, that is Allah! 2. Olive Oil... 3. The blessed Olive Tree which produced the olive oil... Allah got ancestors? (Quran 24:35) "Allah 61 is the Light of the heavens and the earth.62 His Light (in the Universe) may be likened to a niche wherein is a lamp, and the lamp is in the crystal which shines in star-like brilliance. It is lit from (the oil) of a blessed olive tree63 that is neither eastern nor western.64 Its oil well nigh glows forth (of itself) though no fire touched it: Light upon Light.65 Allah guides to His Light whom He wills.66 Allah sets forth parables to make people understand. Allah knows everything."
2011, Dr. Keith Small published a thorough comparison of the popular modern Quranic text to 22 other copies of the Quran, including many of the earliest manuscripts we possess as well as several medieval manuscripts and one modern edition of the Warsh text used by many Muslims in North Africa and Yemen. He focused his work specifically on Surah 14:35-41.8 In just these seven verses, he found nearly 350 variants among all the manuscripts he examined. The vast majority of these variants were mere matters of spelling conventions and lettering systems that have absolutely no effect on the meaning whatsoever. 21 variants, or about 6% of the total, were plainly copyist mistakes in the particular manuscript in question. There were 17 variants (or 5% of the total) that did, in fact, affect the meaning of the text but even here the impact on the meaning was typically rather minor.carm.org/have-there-been-changes-in-the-quran Only 1 religion can be true logically, truth is that which corresponds to reality. Dear Muslim we love you but Surah 4:157 denies the historical event of the Crucifixion. Surah 4:157 in the Quran denies the historical event of the crucifixion of the Lord Jesus Christ which historians, scholars, and professors say is a fact, alongside angels (Mark 16:6), prophecies (Isaiah 53), and Jesus who said He would be killed/crucified (Luke 9:22, 24:44-47, Matthew 16:21, Mark 8:31, 9:31, 10:33-34). One of the most certain facts of history is that Jesus was crucified on orders of the Roman prefect of Judea, Pontius Pilate. (p. 162) - Bart Ehrman JD Crossan, in The Historical Jesus: [there is not the] slightest doubt about the fact of Jesus’ crucifixion under Pontius Pilate. Gerd Ludemann, A Historical Inquiry, 2004: Jesus’ death as a consequence of crucifixion is indisputable. (p. 50) “The evidence for life, the death, and the resurrection of Christ is better authenticated than most of the facts of ancient history.” (E. M, Professor of Classics at Auckland University), Any unbiased document scholar will agree that the Bible has been remarkably well-preserved over the centuries. Copies of the Bible dating to the 14th century AD are nearly identical in content to copies from the 3rd century AD. When the Dead Sea Scrolls were discovered, scholars were shocked to see how similar they were to other ancient copies of the Old Testament, even though the Dead Sea Scrolls were hundreds of years older than anything previously discovered. Even many hardened skeptics and critics of the Bible admit that the Bible has been transmitted over the centuries far more accurately than any other ancient document. There is absolutely no evidence that the Bible has been revised, edited, or tampered with in any systematic manner. The sheer volume of biblical manuscripts makes it simple to recognize any attempt to distort God’s Word. (Gotquestions) Most sources in ancient history have 4ft, the Bible goes over 2.5+ miles Norman Geisler states “There is more evidence that the Bible is a reliable source than there is for any other book from the ancient world.” The beauty of the Bible, It was written by 40+ authors in a span of 1500+ years with 66 books in 3 continents remaining consistent throughout it all fulfilling 2500+ prophecies backed up with 25000+ archaeological evidence, contains more manuscripts and data recorded in history with 57000+ manuscripts, more than any other work of antiquity even with over 2.6 million pages of texts. For the New Testament 24,000+ with 5,800 Greek manuscripts, etc. We have all sinned against the Holy God, every lie, theft, bad word and we deserve Hell, but Jesus, being truly God truly man willingly died for our sins to take the punishment for us and rose again offering salvation freely to those who turn to Him by faith alone in what He has done for them.You and I, we broke God’s laws, whether you have have lied or stolen, said a bad word, hated someone, looked with lust, blasphemed (saying OMG), so on. A just judge is going to punish guilty criminals for their crimes and we deserve to go to Hell for our willful crimes, but, God in His love despite our hatred toward Him, made a way for sinners to be forgiven without violating justice. He took on flesh in the person of Jesus Christ. He lived the sinless life we couldn’t, and then offered Himself on the cross as a sacrifice for sin. You see, God is perfectly Holy, Just and Good. His justice means Hell for those who are guilty. According to Moses God won’t leave the guilty unpunished, God Is infinitely more just than a human judge, and a just judge is going to bring forth justice for those who break the law, and God will righteously punish sin and condemn guilty sinners to Hell. God won’t sweep sin under a carpet, He is going to punish it. However, there’s GOOD NEWS! God made a way for sinners to be forgiven without violating justice. You and I broke, God’s laws, Jesus came to pay our bail! God Himself took on flesh in the person of Jesus Christ. He lived the sinless life we failed to do having the perfect righteousness, and then offered Himself on the cross as a sacrifice for sin. If you trust in Jesus He will take your dirty broken record upon Himself and be punished for you, and give you His righteousness as a gift! Imagine there’s a HUGE truck coming towards you while you are distracted, and before it hits you, someone whom you’ve spent your life hating runs into the road, pushes you out of the way and is completely crushed and slaughtered by the force of the truck for you, how would you feel? Well that’s what Jesus did for us when Jesus took the wrath of the Father that we deserved, was buried, then rose from the dead… showing the penalty fully paid! God offers salvation as a gift, you can either reject it or receive by turning to God through faith alone in the Lord Jesus Christ. Romans 5:8 “But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.” John 3:16 “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” Love you! Also some more errors in Islam. Like for example how Islam denies History and science and so on. Surah 7:157 says muhammad is in the Torah and gospels but is false and is never found in any text of the Bible. Surah 3:54, 4:171 say Jesus was Muslim but that’s historically false. Surah 20:85-89 says a Samaritan led the Israelites away from the golden calf during moses, this is false as Moses lived around 1400 B.C. Also Samaria wasn’t founded until the 9th century BC by Omri. Surah 2:125 and Sahih al bukhari 55:636 say Abraham built the Kaaba, this is false as muhammad said it was built 40 years prior to the temple in Jerusalem (Sahih al bukhari 55:636), the temple at Jerusalem was built by Solomon around 958 B.C. This is absurd because Abraham lived around 2,000 B.C. Sahih al bukhari 2658 says women are intellectually deficient which isn’t true, expert hands Flynn a scientists showed that women are equal or sometimes surpass men IQ. Sahih al bukhari 536-537 said severe heat of summer and the bitter cold of winter are caused by Hell breathing. Sahih al bukhari 3329 also says someone’s physical characteristics and looks are determined by whether the male or female discharged first during intercourse which is absolutely false Surah 37:6-10 says fire from shooting stars chase away demons who eaves drop. Sahih al bukhari 3263 says a fever is from the heat of hell fire. God is fully merciful and fully just and fully wrathful and fully loving and all that is perfectly shown at the Cross. Christ was the lamb sacrifice for our sins as they did back in the Torah with sacrificing lambs for a clear conscience, but Christ being our high priest took our punishment and God’s justified was satisfied as our sins were paid for now we can justly and mercifully be spared, not only justified but He sanctifies us so it’s a relationship, not trying to do this and that to try to earn God’s love with rituals and legalism just for a maybe on being saved. In Christianity God makes it perfect so we can have full assurance, perfectly balanced, God changes us and our desires and gives us the Holy Spirit so now out of a relationship, being 100% saved and being changed we want to obey. Keep in mind modern science arose from Christians in the 16-17th century, “The evidence for the resurrection is better than for claimed miracles in any other religion. It’s outstandingly different in quality and quantity.”-Anthony Flew. Also the beauty of the Bible, It was written by 40+ authors in a span of 1500+ years with 66 books in 3 continents remaining consistent throughout it all fulfilling 2500+ prophecies backed up with 25000+ archaeological evidence and contains more manuscripts and data recorded in history with 57000+ manuscripts for the New Testament with 5,800 and more Dead Sea scrolls 15 ancient sources, and it talked about anthropology, biology, entropy. 3000 years ago the Bible talked about the universe’s expansion and the earths unsuspension, the hydrolic cycle and so on before science even had a clue. The Lord Jesus is your only hope!!
@@irfanismail7783 Hey stranger! (TLDR NeedGod.net) I come in total love, I am no better than anyone here but please hear me out. Jesus did not come to save good religious people but the broken, lost, the outcast, sinners. You are valuable, not the product of nothing. “Atheism is senseless. I see the earth at the right distance from the sun to receive the proper amounts of heat and light. This did not happen by chance.” - (Isaac Newton, scientist) You don’t have to try to earn God’s love or try to work your way to Heaven. We already broke God’s laws, whether we have lied or sworn, looked with lust, hated, and so on, and like a just judge, God must justly punish criminals in Hell... but there is good news. Let’s say you break a speeding law, 500$ fine, all of a sudden someone pays it, nothing remains left for you to pay. So if someone perfect would be willing to take all of your Hell punishment and give you their perfect record you can justly go to Heaven because someone paid your fine. God in His love despite our hatred toward Him, made a way for sinners to be forgiven without violating justice. He took on flesh in the person of Jesus Christ. He lived the sinless life we coudnt, and then offered Himself on the cross as a sacrifice for sin. Jesus took the wrath of God you and I deserved, then rose from the dead! If someone takes your Hell punishment then you can go to Heaven! Jesus did all the work, no amount of good works can save you. God calls you to turn to Him through faith in Jesus alone for salvation. “The evidence for the life, death, and the resurrection of Christ is better authenticated than most of the facts of ancient history.” (E.

Every religion can seem alluring. If you research islam, you will find it utterly reprehensible, it is mysognist, he was a slaver, murderer, knew very little about God, except to use his Allah as a sockpuppet.
@Iyas kelu You want to be NeoMessiah? You seems to own superpower of defining someone intention, just by few seconds of observing his vlog. P/S:Never heard Paul saying virgin here and there, just some his opinion about some books by scholars.
I was born Muslim but I was spiritually dormant until I was around 21 I believe. I reverted to the lifestyle while I educated myself in jail. Since then I am still struggling with my self but I know my Creator now! I am blessed and I am fortunate to be here. All I need is an opportunity and I will work hard! But remember, Allah loves u no matter your flaws and sins. Return to him, for he is merciful. He’s your friend when no one else is. Love and care. It’s not hard to remember his Divine blessings 4 u
I had such a hunger to learn the Bible, I studied it for years and have come to very similar conclusions. It was not easy and actually psychically hurt, but I had to face truth and God gave us discernment!
I'd like recommend you to read "The last prophet "book ,by Dr haitham talaat , you'll find its link on his channel on RUclips. A wonderful book, providing a lot of evidence and proof..

Les personnes comme moi qui sont nés musulmans apprennent beaucoup des convertis vers l'islam. Car on s'est pas posé toutes les questions que vous vous êtes posé. Le visionnage des dizaines de vidéos de frères convertis m'a appris beaucoup de choses et m'a poussé à connaître d'avantage sur l'islam et les autres religions, pas spécialement monothéistes. Par exemple je me suis intéressé aux religions du Japon suite au récit d'un frère japonais sur sa conversion. Votre chaîne est formidable car elle plus abordable pour les nuls comme moi et elle est plus généraliste en abordant différents sujets. Merci pour vos efforts. .
After reading so many "pro & con" comments, I would like to say this to those who resist opening their minds to sound information.The "Christian" mentality propounded by Paul of Tarsus, not the thinker Paul Williams, has a lot do with that irrational "clinging" to a manufactured faith that Jesus (PBUH) did NOT preach to his followers. Now, the questions are: 1. Is it out of "fear" of having to deal with the many duties & requirements of islamic teachings or simply the complacency afforded by the teachings of Saul (which by the way allows one to live a life of moral uncertainty, as long as they believe in the redemption that someone died for their sins, implying that they can keep sinning and not have to curb their immoral appetites) that so-called Christians "don't want to hear it".? 2. Is it out of shear "blind contempt" to all things Islamic faith & teachings & duties & requirements? 3. Is it because they lack the intellectual capabilities required for clarity of mind that may be conducive to the truth, a naked unbearable truth...? 5. What is this reluctance of getting an education about Islam when 1.7 billion people and counting are telling you: not to embrace their faith blindly but to inform yourself, at least, so that you won't claim or wonder later on why no one said anything to you about this faith that is universal, hence all inclusive? There is no such a things as "islamic propaganda" and there is not monetary gain generated from an invite to check a faith out. Because, the reward for preventing someone from going astray comes from the Creator of the universe, solely and NO ONE ELSE. All the same, it is FREE WILL. Just gain some knowledge about it and if "it is not for you", no one is hurt amongst the Muslims ( because they will have tried to help) except that the burden still falls upon your shoulders of "sorting things out". Why? Because you wouldn't be arguing with Muslims on RUclips if you were truly satisfied with your clinging to a faith that is NOT a true faith, after all! Put your doubts aside, read what those who were in your shoes so adamantly, have to say about being wrong all along. Here are some of Islamic scholars of western origin, whose advanced knowledge you may benefit from: 1. Arnoud van Doorn (Netherlands) 2. Joram van Klavereen (Nederlands) 3. Dr Lawrence Brown ( USA) 4. Dr Wilfried Murad Hoffmann (Germany) 5. Leopold Weiss (Mohamed Assad) (Austria) 6. Dr Jeffrey Lang (Math Professor)/ USA 7. Late Dr Gary Miller (USA) 8. Late Dr Maurice Bucaille (France) 9. Late Dr Roger Garody (France)...etc To quote only a few of the multitude of western scholars who were, formerly either atheists or Christians or Jews and, ultimately, embraced Islam wholeheartedly. Do yourself a favor & do your homework. And thank Almighty God, later. Just "read", that's also the first Koranic verse that was revealed to the Prophet of Islam (PBUH). And peace be with you, brothers & sisters. Good luck with Almighty's guidance! Peace.
Some other famous Western convert scholars you can learn from: Shaykh Hamza Yusuf Dr. Timothy Winters (Shaykh Abdul Hakim Murad) Dr. Omar Farouq AbdAllah Dr. Sherman Jackson Dr. Ingrid Mattson Shaykh Zaid Shakir Dr. William Chittick Dr. Alan Godlas Dr. John Esposito The late Dr. Martin Lings The late Charles Le Guy Eaton (Both giants with very beneficial books) There are several very well known Western scholars but their work is focused more on people who are already Muslims, while the ones above have great content for both Muslims and non-Muslims.
I hope our Christian brothers will look at this as informative. The message to humanity has always been the same that there is absolutely 1 God without any partners /relatives/ associates/equals/precedents. He alone is worthy of all worship.
I do! 😂 I find these videos really informative and helpful, and makes me realize that christian, muslin or jew, we all believe in the same God and expect his mercy 🙏

@@joefranciscastephan766 Chapter 9 is called (repentance). It deals in time of WAR with polytheists(some Jews, Christians, Arab pagans and other religions) after they broke a peace treaty in time of the battle of Tabuk in Madinah in the 9th year of hijrah(migration). Its the only chapter which does not begin ln with( in the name of Allah, most gracious the most merciful). Now for for Luke 70-71, you have to define what the word (Son) means in context and in the original manuscript/language. The word (Son) is by the tons in the bible and all of them is used as a word of endearment and not literal son.
You are the epitome of what the Holy Quran refers to when it states-' Verily among the people of the book closest to you (muslims) are those who call themselves 'christians' for they are humble and sincere in seeking knowledge.' Christ's original followers were pure monotheists as Jesus was and the Quran in fact refer to them as muslims.
John 10:30 “The Father and I are one.” Philippians 2:5-6 “You must have the same attitude that Christ Jesus had. Though he was God, he did not think of equality with God as something to cling to.” John 17:21 “That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.” John 1:18 “No one has ever seen God, but the one and only Son, who is himself God and is in closest relationship with the Father, has made him known.“ Colossians 2:9-10 “For in him the whole fullness of deity dwells bodily. and in Christ you have been brought to fullness. He is the head over every power and authority.“ John 10:33 “We are not stoning you for any good work,” they replied, “but for blasphemy, because you, a mere man, claim to be God.“ John 5:18 “This was why the Jews were seeking all the more to kill him, because not only was he breaking the Sabbath, but he was even calling God his own Father, making himself equal with God.“ John 1:1 “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.“ John 1:14 “And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.“ 1 John 5:20 “And we know that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding, so that we may know him who is true; and we are in him who is true, in his Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and eternal life.“ John 8:57-58 “The people said, “You aren’t even fifty years old. How can you say you have seen Abraham?” Jesus answered, “I tell you the truth, before Abraham was even born, I Am!” John 8:22-24 “This made the Jews ask, “Will he kill himself? Is that why he says, ‘Where I go, you cannot come’?” But he continued, “You are from below; I am from above. You are of this world; I am not of this world. I told you that you would die in your sins; if you do not believe that I am he, you will indeed die in your sins.” John 13:18-19 “I am not referring to all of you; I know those I have chosen. But this is to fulfill this passage of Scripture: ‘He who shared my bread has turned against me.’ “I am telling you now before it happens, so that when it does happen you will believe that I am who I am. Isaiah 44:6 “Thus says the LORD, the King of Israel and his Redeemer, the LORD of hosts: “I am the first and I am the last; besides me there is no god.” 1 Corinthians 8:6 “Yet for us there is one God, the Father, from whom are all things and for whom we exist, even one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom are all things and through whom we exist.” Revelation 2:8 “And to the angel of the church in Smyrna write: ‘The words of the first and the last, who died and came to life.“ Revelation 1:17-18 “When I saw him, I fell at his feet as though dead. But he laid his right hand on me, saying, “Fear not, I am the first and the last, and the living one. I died, and behold I am alive forevermore, and I have the keys of Death and Hades.“ Matthew 2:1-2 “After Jesus was born in Bethlehem in Judea, during the time of King Herod, Magi from the east came to Jerusalem and asked, “Where is the one who has been born king of the Jews? We saw his star when it rose and have come to worship him.” Matthew 28:8-9 “So the women hurried away from the tomb, afraid yet filled with joy, and ran to tell his disciples. Suddenly Jesus met them. “Greetings,” he said. They came to him, clasped his feet and worshiped him.“ Acts 7:59-60 “And as they were stoning Stephen, he called out, “Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.” And falling to his knees he cried out with a loud voice, “Lord, do not hold this sin against them.” And when he had said this, he fell asleep.“ Matthew 28:19 “Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.” 2 Corinthians 13:14 “The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ and the love of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all.” John 20:27-28 “Then he said to Thomas, “Put your finger here; see my hands. Reach out your hand and put it into my side. Stop doubting and believe.” Thomas said to him, “My Lord and my God!” 2 Peter 1:1 “Simon Peter, a servant and apostle of Jesus Christ, To those who have obtained a faith of equal standing with ours by the righteousness of our God and Savior Jesus Christ.“ Isaiah 9:6-7 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this. Isaiah 7:14 Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel. Matthew 1:20-23 But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, "Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost. And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins." Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, "Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel," which being interpreted is, God with us.
I am Christian and I believe Jesus is God. Even if we do not believe the same thing...I love every Muslim as brothers and sisters. Jesus said to love all people as your own brother and sister...to love others more than yourself.
What do you EXACTLY mean you "love" Jesus? Is this an imaginary chewing gum like "Love"? There are many "jesuses" but there is only ONE who EXISTED prior He incarnated. He was CRUCIFIED misunderstood beaten bruised and buried. Three days later he ROSE AGAIN and lives. I find amazing how people struggle to understand a simple truth. In my opinion connecting the natural to the supernatural and trying to figure out using logic can bring disaster. Hebrews chap 1: verse 1 speaks a reality.
It is human nature that they feel comfortable that someone died for their sins (portrayed as Jesus died on the cross) since they do not want to accept their own responsibilities for their actions/sins!

@@matthewpaulson6497 Tell us first.whom do you think inspired these words? God or Satan? Let's test your honesty PROPHETS BUT NAKED? [Gen. 9.21] Noah drank of the wine,and became drunk,and lay uncovered in his tent.and Ham(his son)saw the NAKEDNESS of his father [1.Sam. 19.23] And the spirit of God came upon Saul..And he too STRIPPED OFF HIS CLOTHES,and he too prophesied before Samuel and lay NAKED all the day and all the night [2.Sam. 6.20] David DANCE NAKED before the people and before the lord [Exo. 15.20] And so his sister Mariam the Prophetess dance,she took a tremble dances with the woman LOT'S DAUGHTERS COMMIT INCEST WITH HIM! [Gen. 19.30] Lot went up out of Zo'ar and dwelt in the hills with his two daughters.And the first-born said to the younger,"Our father is old,and there is no man on earth to come to us after the manner of all the earth.COME LET US MAKE OUR FATHER DRINK THE WINE AND WE WILL LIE WITH HIM,that we may preserve offspring through our father.So they made their father drink wine that night; AND THE FIRST BORN WENT IN AND LAY WITH HER FATHER;HE DID NOT KNOW WHEN SHE LAY DOWN OR WHEN SHE AROSE.And on the next day,the first-born said to the younger "Behold,i lay last night with my father,let us make him drink wine tonight also;then you go in lie with him that we may preserve offspring through our father.So they made their father drink wine that night also,and the younger arose,and LAY WITH HIM; and he did not know when she lay down or when she arose. THUS BOTH THE DAUGHTERS OF LOT WERE WITH CHILD BY THEIR FATHER. JUDAH WITH HIS DAUGHTER IN LAW! Judah fornicates with his daughter in law: Ta'mar. [Gen. 38.15] When he saw her,he thought her to be a harlot,for she had covered her face,He went over to her at the road side and said "Come,LET ME COME INTO YOU"for he did not know that she was his daughter-in-law.She said,"She said what will you gave me,that you may come in me?"He answered,"I will send a kid from the flock."And she said "Will you send me a pledge till you send it?" He said, " What pledge shall i give you?" She replied "Your signal and your cord and your staff that is in your hand." So he gave them to her,and WENT INTO HER, and she conceived by him. About three months later,Judah was told, "Ta'-mar your daughter-in-law has played the harlot,and moreover SHE IS WITH CHILD BY HARLOTRY. DAVID WITH HIS NEIGHBOUR'S WIFE! [2.Sam. 11.1] David arose from his couch and was walking upon the roof he saw from the roof WOMEN BATHING; and the women was very beautiful,and David send and enquired about the women.And one said, "is not that Bathshe'ba, the daughter of Eli'am,the wife of Uri'ah the Hittite?" So David send messengers and took her,and SHE CAME TO HIM AND HE LAY WITH HER.. Then she returned to her house; and she send and told David, i am with child.David called her husband,and invited him,and ate with his presence and drank,so that he made him drunk. In the morning David wrote to Jo'ab, "Set Uri'ah in the ferofront of the hardest fighting, and then draw back from him,that he may be struck down and die.When he died David sent and brought Uri'ah's wife to his house,and she became his wife. DAVID'S SON WITH HIS SISTER! [2.Sam. 13.1] Amnon the son of David fell in love with his sister Ta'-mar."Amnon was so tormented that he made himself ill because of his sister Ta'-mar,for she was a virgin,and it seemed impossible to Amnon to do anything to her.Amnon had a friend who said to him,"Lie down on your bed and pretend to be ill,and when [your father] the king comes to see you,you say to him:let my sister Ta'-mar come and give bread to eat from her hand. David sent Ta'-mar to her brother and ordered her to feed her brother by her hand. Ta'-mar took the cakes she had made,and brought them into the chamber of Amnon,but when she brought them near him to eat,he took hold of her,and said to her,"Come,lie with me,my sister," she said,"No my brother,do not force me."But he would not listen to her,and being stronger than she,he forced her,and lay with her." GET YOURSELF A HARLOT!!! [Hos. 1:2] When the Lord first spoke to Hose'a he said to him,"GO TAKE YOURSELF A WIFE OF HARLOTRY and have children of harlotry,for the land has committed great harlotry by forsaking the Lord." [Gen. 35:22] Rueben the son of Jacob lay with Bilhah his father's concubine. [Gen. 49:4] His father blamed him and said,"Because you went up to your father's bed,then you defiled it,you went up to my couch. THE SEX LITERATURE IN THE BIBLE! [Prov. 7:7] I have seen among the simple,I have percieved among the youth,a young man without sense,passing along the street near her corner taking the road to her house in the twillight,in the evening at the time of the night and darkness.And lo,the women meets him,dressed as a harlot,wily of heart. She is loud and wayward. Now in the street Now in the market,and at every corner she lies in wait.

FOR MY HUSBAND IS NOT AT HOME,HE HAS GONE ON A LONG JOURNEY. With much seductive speech she persuades him,with her smooth talk she compels him. All at once he follows her, as an ox goes to the slaugther.
Evidently you never were a follower of Christ, or were a fair-weather friend, like seed sown on rocky ground. Jesus does not give eternal life and then take it back. t's not like Him to pull the rug from under one's feet. Perhaps you are more concerned about intellectual 'propriety' than living with God, being part of His fellowship and household. Ironically, too heavy an emphasis on Reason can lead one into dangerous doctrinal shoals. We do not have a perspective on your entire life. It is possible for a Christian to backslide for many years, even losing one's conscious identity as a Christian, and to return later in 'prodigal' fashion. However this is NOT to be recommended. I could never understand the attraction of any non-Christian religion. For me the choice was easy: secular ideology or Christ. Leave the rest to cultural anthropologists. Muslims are as human as anyone else, and i've met some who were quite nice, but their religion is abominable. As Jesus said, 'you shall know them by their fruits'. Do you really want to end up on the wrong side of history?
@@seekthetruthandthetruthwil2388that’s the problem with Christian’s like you, Muslims are the true followers of Christ, we would never disobey or even allow blasphemy against Christ in our muslim countries like you Christian’s in the west have done, you Christian’s have disrespected Christ peace be upon him and allowing ppl to mock him and Netflix depicting Jesus is gay(I seek refuge in God from such evil) …when you become muslim you don’t leave Christ you actually follow him and his beliefs. It’s one of the 6 pillars of faith, that we must believe in all of Gods prophets and messengers and praise them and honour them and believe as they believed and defend them, with our lives, wealth families etc all for the sake of God alone. But we never raise them to a status of divinity that is only for God alone…Because God loves Jesus we must love him and follow his beliefs..simple.
I follow your Theology Blog with great interest and this particular blog 'Why I am no longer a Christian' is absolutely fascinating. For the sake of clarity and so you are clear from where I'm personally coming. I also consider that, in the orthodox sense of the word, I am not a Christian but in the cultural, philosophical and historical sense I most certainly am. I cannot be other. All my thinking, my modus operandi/vivendi is Christian in its deepest nature simply by having been born into the European Judaeo-Christian world-view. These teachings, if you like, are ipso facto, the bricks and mortar from which our Western and Eastern European mindset engages with life. So when you say that you don't believe in Atonement, it is in a sense a denial of our mutual experience where throughout our lives European history has demanded, in countless bloody wars, that we, its citizens, pay the ultimate price in order to atone to save our families, our traditions, our sense of what is right. If we see Jesus's death on the cross as symbolic or even even as an elevated metaphor of some kind for that act of personal self-sacrifice that each of us, at some time in our lives, makes for the greater good, then in this sense alone we all believe in a divine act of atonement. Have you read Professor David Ford's latest book: 'The Gospel of John'. And if you have, would you agree that his insights into the writings we find in John purposefully limit factual acountability and try to focus our attention on the bare experience of reading that Gospel and living it. Many thanks again for you excellent insights. I especially enjoy your blogs on Islam. Dr Garry Bannister.
I stopped calling myself a Christian over 40 years ago after reading the Bible and seeing that Jesus, peace be upon him, never said that word. Jesus, p, said the first commandment is, "hear O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is One. (Mark 12:29), in old testament I read honor your father and mother, in nt, I read Do not call any man on earth your father (huge contradiction!!??). In matt 7:21-23 I read, not everyone that says to me (Jesus, p, ) Lord Lord shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he that does the Will of my Father in heaven. At this point I prayed to my Creator, "Oh One Creator of the heavens and earth, Adam, Eve and everything, forgive me , have mercy on me and guide me to do Your Will on earth so I can get back to heaven, amen. " also "Oh One Creator, show me who is doing Your Will on earth now, amen. Thank You" All Praise & Thanks to the Almighty Allah, I met Muslims, borrowed their Quran, read it, I learned to pray salaah, I fasted some days of Ramadan and I witness none deserves to be worshipped besides Allah and Muhammad is the messenger and slave of Allah and Jesus is the messenger and slave of Allah. I submit to the Will of Allah and obey Him the best I can and ask Him to forgive me and have mercy on me and all submitters (Muslims) and Believers in One Creator Lord Almighty and guide all to the Quran and sunnah (mentioned in tafseer of Quran..). Assalaamu 'alaykum Bro. & Sis. in Islam (Submission to the Will of Allah, the One Creator Lord Almighty of all the worlds) and Peace be on those who follow the completed guidance of the One Almighty in Quran and sunnah. The original Arabic Quran is still available now over 1400 years unchanged no contradictions, pure truth from Al- Haqq, The Absolute Truth, Almighty.

@@Asiyah2000 People underestimate hell, it is bad because it is separation from God. In a vision I was shown a person who claimed to be Christian but started fornication (premarital sex), He died relatively young and went to hell forever (1 Cor 6:9).

I understand completely. The closer I tried to get to the truth, the further away I seemed to get from it. I find it hard now to believe anything in the gospels as the word of Jesus. To many contrary views, errors in translations and additions. Creating the idea of the trinity from a few scattered and unreliable verses. This is not what l expected .
@Townsend m Peace be with you. You're a sincere seeker of truth. Since you mentioned the Trinity, the following could be of great benefit to you. Jesus NEVER claimed to be God. Jesus NEVER said what he had no right to say. *Look how the False teachers CORRUPTED the message of Jesus in their writings and preaching and made over a BILLION+ people (Christians) actually make a 🚩 LIAR of Jesus whom they profess to love* Jesus gave the testimony that THE FATHER IS THE ONLY TRUE GOD but the Christians (overwhelming majority) testify that the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit (The Trinity) is the true God. *********** 🚩 The Church Fathers went so far as to MUTILATE the testimony of Jesus in their writings and preaching and the results are right in front of you. The very testimony of Jesus is right in front of you. All your life the Church sold you the abomination of the Trinity and Jesus being God BUT here is the reality. The clear and emphatic, *Trinity-DESTROYING* , Islamic, unitarian monotheism of John 17:3 gave so much trouble to the Church as we see in the writings of early patristic authorities as they encounter the verse. One such patristic figure was the Doctor of the Church*** Augustine. He just could not digest the explicit and emphatic Trinity-Destroying testimony of Jesus Christ in John 17:3 that he attempted to MUTILATE the whole thing completely so that it would place Jesus side by side with the Father and together they would be declared “the only true God.” Dissatisfied with what John 17:3 says, Augustine writes the following in Tractate 105 of his Homilies on the Gospel of John: “But this, saith He, is life eternal, that they may know Thee [the Father] the only true God, and Jesus Christ, Whom Thou hast sent. The [proper] order of the words is: “That Thee [the Father] and Jesus Christ whom Thou hast sent, they may know to be the only true God.” The clear and emphatic, Islamic, unitarian message of John 17:3 was far too disagreeable to Augustine that he was willing to completely MUTILATE what was there in the scripture. And he was not alone in such an irresponsible enterprise. THE ONLY TRUE GOD - THE FATHER - exposes such kind and destroys such abominations that Christians attribute to HIM and Jesus.
@Townsend m On the subject of GOD and worship: Jesus and the Muslim are ALREADY on the same side. The Muslim worships whom Jesus worships. The scriptures testify. John 4:21-22 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, *WORSHIP THE FATHER* . Ye worship ye know not what: *WE* know what *WE WORSHIP* : for salvation is of the Jews. Have another look: *WE WORSHIP* (The Jews INCLUDING ME - Jesus) “And this is life eternal, that they might know *YOU THE ONLY TRUE GOD* , and Jesus Christ, whom *YOU* have sent.” John 17:3 John 20:17: “Jesus saith unto her, ...I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and TO MY GOD, AND YOUR GOD.” Have another look! ".... *TO MY GOD and YOUR GOD* " ME and YOU 👉 *WE* *WE WORSHIP* THE ONLY TRUE GOD - THE FATHER who is THE GOD OF ME (Jesus) and YOU 👉 *OUR GOD* And Jesus answered him, THE FIRST OF ALL the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord *OUR GOD* is one Lord Mark 12:29 Jesus teaches: “Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and *HIM ONLY* shalt thou serve” Luke 4:8. Notice the words: “HIM ONLY.” Jesus did not say “US only,” or “Him and I only.” How could he possibly i it more clear than that? Jesus told to worship ONLY THE FATHER - who is THE GOD of Jesus too. Of course the term Father in the Jewish context. It's NOTHING more than a term for endearment NOT that God has a Son. God has got Son by the Ton in the Bible.
@@Truth-Is-a-Hard-Pill Thank you brother. Two years ago l started a bible study course with the catholic church. I'm not catholic, and grew up in a non religious household, but I wanted to learn and the priest is a fantastic teacher. However, I remember my suprise when the priest told the class, that Jesus was both god and human at the same time. My first thought was 'son of god' yes, but a GOD himself? No, that cannot be right. I still feel the same. The gospels, as you have highlighted already, do not support that assumption. The notion of the trinity is deeply flawed. What we are doing now is now better than any other polytheist religion. There is one god, not three, one.
In search of Truth and discovering it in one’s lifetime is a remarkable experience no doubt 👍 May Allah (swt) bless and guide Brother Paul continue to inspire both Muslims and non-Muslims with his exceptional knowledge and wisdom, Amen 🙏
All Humans need to repent & Believe in Jesus. Why? Because all Humans have sinned (lied, lusted sexually, stolen, dishonoured parents etc). Avoid the fires of Hell (justice of God) and choose Heaven today. Jesus defeated death by rising from the dead. GOD IS HOLY
Thank you so much for this insightful piece. Im a Muslim who went to a C 0f E school and even as a child I found the teachings that you found problematic, problematic too. I didnt have much knowledge of Islam or Christianity then but those beliefs just didnt seem right to me too. The Trinity, divine Jesus and that he had to be sacrificed for God to forgive us. I found your piece really interesting with your detailed knowledge.
Assalaam alikum Paul I am so happy for your journey and now you have chosen the straight path .May Allah SWT bless you for the future. I follow the hadiths that you mention at times
Salaam Brother Paul...Choosing Islam is not losing your faith with God but actually it strengthen your basic instinct of finding one true God ...Allah Azzawajallah. May Allah gives you guidance and thereby you can share more valuable enlightenment with your knowledge in Islam in making quality video.
Thank You Brother . Our faiths started as imposed by parents or institutions when we are young ones...Your style is of reasoning rather thn imposition..This is the best way of engulfing a faith. Paul....through your intelligence and effort continue to show us the way to build our faiths by reasoning then we will choose THE FAITH...You are among the Greats🙏👍

Thank you Paul for your explanation, which has some similarities to my reason on giving up on Christianity. Being raised in a Christian home going to church, Sunday schools and Christian camp in the summers I very much was a active Christian. Doing religious studies in school and planning my life at one point I had very seriously wanted to become a priest. To keep a long story short I too had problems with the new testament as it was inconsistent and contradictive. As a result I found myself heavily relying on the old testament. My main problem was with the divinity given to Jesus. And when you think about GOD Nd his attributes having a son would not be withing his nature. And the old testament GOD repeatedly talks about his oneness. With all this being said the GOD of the old testament vs the divinity of Jesus in the new testament do not add up. Not to mention when I got into the historical aspect of the Bible, that was the icing on the cake for me.
I read the Bible too , Jesus peace be upon him made it crystal clear to worship ONE GOD ONLY and to serve ( Worship ) Him Only , as Allah says ( I Am ) thy Lord , serve thou Me Only , No prophet taught the trinity
@@irfana4937 We should emphasize to non-Muslims that Allah is an Arabic/Semitic word that means God. Whenever we use the word Allah we should show it as Allah(God) so that non-Muslims understand Allah means God.
@@adambrownhussein6525 Yes but I am surprized why many Non Muslim people Hate Allah when Jesus Christ himself used to call God Alaha/Aloha. They think Allah is different God
@@adambrownhussein6525 while I am learning more about Islam I have come to realize that Islam speaks true about how GOD is to be worshiped as it completely condems polytheism. As a result the current teaching about the trinity is condemned completly by Islam. Therefore i veiw that many Christians are afraid that when these teachings are made clear their false faith will be abandoned. You have to realize that it is much easier to spread false information and keep people away from the truth by driving fear into them. Which is what many Christians do.
Paul, you deserve much praise for seeking knowledge with an open mind. I believe God has given all human beings the ability to reason and think logically. Unfortunately, many people are closed-minded and interested only in proving themselves right instead of furthering their knowledge and searching for the truth - this is one of the worst characteristics of human beings. Kudos to you for rising above this and becoming enlightened.
We Muslim are a true follower of Jesus and Muhammad. If you love Jesus, please embraced Islam. Im looking forward your next next video will touch on why i choosed Islam
Guidance is a gift from God to the one who is struggling to find Him. It cannot be thrust on to someone. It is a slow process. There is no compulsion in religion. The traveller in search of truth if he is sincere and unbiased will finally stumble upon it as a result of his struggle and his sincerity.
MaasyaaAllah tabaarakallah Brother Paul ❤️ May Allah bless you and all the moslems and keep our heart steady in His deen 🤲🤲🤲 All praise and gratitude due to Allah for the bless of Islam and Iman. Yaa Rabbana lakalhamd wassyukr 😇😇😇😇❤️❤️❤️❤️
How can a theoretical deity of human religious philosophy bless anyone?

Most particularly - Johns Gospel reflects his (...whoever he is) individual beliefs and agenda 90 years after Jesus, rather than being an accurate/factual account. This is almost universally accepted by biblical scholars. If that is the case, then the very foundation of the belief becomes unstable.

JazakAllah Khair dear brother. This was truly nice to listen to. The issues you spoke of are without doubt, problematic. One does not need to be Muslim to criticize these issues, as just like you said, Christian scholars and historians know very well that these issues exist. Dr. Jerald Dirks (Rahimahullah), a Harvard Divinity School graduateI and former deacon, learned directly from Christian sources about numerous errors and subsequently left Christianity due to what he found. He accepted Islam Alhamdulilah. His story can also be found online. I noticed that whilst I was Christian, I would direct my questions regarding aspects of historical errors, textual errors and fabrications towards the father of the church I attended, and I was flat out told to just believe and to never ask questions. The stark contrast to Islam that encourages one to ask questions and seek truth.
@Truth Speaker This is not a laughing matter . The Quran is the Creator's last revelation ,through it and the sunnah we know that the gospel of Jesus (pbuh) had been corrupted. Allah loves you and loves me the same, the only thing He'll be sad if we die in a state of sins that's why muslim are happy when they see somebody saved.
Islam is actually quite unique among religions, because people who dare to ask some serious and critical question about the doctrine might often be put to death (or at least imprisoned) as blasphemous heretics.
Jesus said, just before his return, many will turn away from the word of God. We must be getting close, it is happening as we speak. Hang in there, Jesus love's you
Bro its just not right. It amazes me how easy it is for christians to leave their religion without a penalty. In islam u can’t leave because its the truth and penalty for leaving is death but that is solely if you dont repent and choose and insist to leave. But muslims don’t go through such thing because their faith is strong, islam becomes your identity, u live by it and allah guides you. When you pray everything seems to be easy to achive, when You stop praying everything becomes difficult and you start to become depressed. Why do u think depression is kinda non existent in arab countries. It exist but they always recover,
@@lethall6609 Jesus is the only way. Jesus love's you just like he love's all of us. I kind of knew how you all believe. If people didn't believe the way you do, your suppose to go out and kill the people that don't believe the way you do. That sounds more like the "the world leader who is about to come, called the ANTICRIST". so please turn to Jesus Crist. He is the only way. Jesus love's you and so do I. ❤️ ❤️
Thank you brother Paul. I am a student of comparative religious sciences. You have clearly unpacked the development of Christian Theology vis-a-vis the concept of Trinity,Divinity of Christ,Incarnation of Jesus and Redemption through the blood of Jesus, all of which are considered to be the foundational beliefs upon which rests the ediface of the Christian Faith. I have immensely benefited from your frank and valid arguments and discussions at speakers corner. I pray you continue to inspire and take thousands of confused people on your journey of seeking the Truth. When will we see you in the park? With brotherly love and respect from a brother in South Africa. Wassalaam
Have you looked in the topic of the Shroud of Turine and Ron Wyatts finding of the ark of the covenant? If you realize what those are you will know that Jesus is indeed resurrected. That is the only proof and truth of Christianity which is important. There is much more proof to Jesus resurrection. If you dig deeper and not only the scholar knowledge you will find a good foundation for the christian believe.
Alhamdulillah. I was born into this beautiful faith. To this day, I am extremely grateful that Allah gave me an easier path. I am amazed at converts who used their mind to find Allah, and by His Will they return to the true path. Allah said to human to read and think. And that's exactly what they do. I am unsure if I could have done the same if I were in their position. That's not to say Islam-born Muslims are inherently true to Islam, I too had my moments of going astray. But I think my path is so much easier than the converts. Alhamdulillah, and Allah Guide whom He will. May He guide us all through this temporary life.
Please do not stop going ON and ON and ON for hours on end as I want to listen ON and On and ON.the calm was in your speech is good enough for me to believe every word you say is genuine and you are to the point for most of us who have been following you.i have watched a lot of theologian's this channel.now I don't have to .please carry on the good work
@there are 37differentqurans your statement is nonsense. Read Quran, read histories book from the authors who have credibility and we can trust, and you will get the right answer.

If what you say is true, maybe our country has been completely destroyed and very chaotic, but the reality is not. Come here and you will see how Muslims live. Last, I'm sorry I don't want to debate with you because I know you only want validation that Islam is wrong etc, but the reality is you are who is wrong. It'll only waste my time if I debate you here. Keep searching for the truth, Bro! Salaam.
Congratulation to you Paul. I wish the wise Christians will also give-up Christianity by reading what the Christian experts ( Bart Erhman etc) said about Jesus and the gospels. Achieving PHD at a university level while believing a man is God , is really something . I firmly believed God has given us a mind to think and reflect. Paul, you have done well, and I wish God the Almighty will guide you to the straight path.. Congrats once again.
Unlike angel Gabriel who spoke very nicely and decently with Mary, Jebreel jumped on an innocent man and caught him and pressed him severely and commanded him to read!! Poor man is totally scared and pleading Jebreel that he don't know how to read! What did Jebreel do? He pressed him still severely!! Poor man got totally scared and ran for his life! Finally he reached to his wife Khaddeja and ask her to cover her! He was so scared and shivering with fear! The very encounter generated suicidal feelings in him! What God! What an angel Jebreel who could generate suicidal feelings in human by the very first encounter!! Do you ever behave like that? You meet a stranger first time, immediately without any reason will you jump at him and catch hold of him? Will you press him for no reason? Imagine President Biden's envoy behaves like that to you or anyone else! What could be the international reaction! Just imagine!! We got a clear expectation from a person of high social status. We don't expect a thung like behavior from such a person! As a person goes up in the ladder, we expect him to be very decent, polished, nice and extremely helpful etc. What is our expectation about God Almighty's arch angel? Can he behave like a street bully? You decide!
If you really love truth, spend two minutes verifying things. Bart Erhman is an Atheist. His work denouncing Christianity and the Bible, you can't celebrate as a Muslim because he discounts the Quran as well. You really need to look into things and not just hear what you want to hear.

I really enjoy Brother Paul's video's. Masha Allah he is very knowledgeable especially when talking about Christianity. In one of his video's he says " I believe in what Jesus believed in , the ONE GOD " . Paul is a descent Muslim English man. Alhamdulilah.
Thankyou for posting such an honest self reflection on a public platform. As far as you no longer being a Christian is concerned, in my opinion, if anything you're more a "Christian"(follower of Jesus Christ) now than perhaps you've ever been. I pray for your success on this spiritual and theological journey.
Insightful as always Paul, thank you.
I'm now on my 'third' faith after a shaky start to life as a monotheist. I was baptised in the CofE as many were back in the day, whether your parents were practising or not. I converted to catholicism in the early 90s following research into my family background; it was a matter of luck that I wasn't born RC considering the ethnicity of some my grandparents. And honestly I was also drawn in by the iconography/imagery which can have a powerful affect on a 'visual' person like me. Like you, I started to unearth aspects of the church/Christianity teachings that just didn't sit well and I couldn't reconcile these.
Fast forward 15 years or so, I read the Qur'an, went to classes about Islam, read widely and have now embraced what, for me can credibly claim to the 'true faith' of monotheistic belief. Quite a journey but what I had to take to find the right path, alhamdulliah.
❤️
Alhamdulillah 🌹🌺🌹
Mashallah tabaraka Allah, indeed Allah loves you.
islam is a scam.have you considered the life of mohammed?
So some Christians like me believe in Arianism. God can manifest in three ways to man but only in one format at a time. So what does the Bible say happens one day. There is a new earth and a new Jerusalem and a new king who replaces Adam and His name is Jesus. Where is God. The Bible says He is way past many heavens in His own heaven and that is where He rules the universe from. Who will we see? Jesus. He will be the only God we will ever see because the Bible says that the fullness of the Godhead dwells in Him completely. Notice it does not say He is God. So maybe Christianity has confused you and that is exactly what Satan wants to do.
I grew up in Roma (Italy) but i refused Catholicism, because it felt fake to me, at the age of 7 to become an atheist. In my late teens i started to study religions again, and got a particular interest in Islam.
I accepted Islam at the age of 23, and 31 years after i am grateful to be a Muslim and never looked back.
All the best to those who are on their spiritual search journey.

@Stefen I bet you have not even studied what jihad is .Jihad is an arabic word “To try or work hard for something good”
The people you are talking about are not even muslims.they just uses the label of islam.
How can a true muslim kill his own muslim brotherss,how can atrue muslim can bombs the mosques the house of God,How can they kill inocent kids by bombing.
They are not even muslim or related to islam in any way
Our prophet Muhammad says that Those who do not respect elders and does not love childrens is not one of us.Our prophet litrely said that He is not a muslim who kill inocent people.
And in Quran Almighty God said that If u kill an inocent person its like you have killed the whole mankind and if you saved one inocent life its like you have saved the whole mankind.
These are all anti islamic agendas
@Stefen These are all anti islamic agendas.Bcz enemies of truth are afraid that islam is gonna take over the world soon and its a fact that islam is the world most fastest growing religion in the world.
Bcz islam is clear in every aspect of life .According to islam God is one without any partners,Neither he begets nor he is begotten.He is without partners.No confusion.
You have not studied even a single peice of islam .you dont even know a single word about jihad.
And here you csme and started talkimg about jihad.
If you realy studied islam then you would know what truly jihad is.
Jihad is not killing inocent people
the real jihad is to get knowledge to escape from ignorance just like you are in ignorance.
First you should study islam and jihad then you should guide others about islam and jihad.
and i know where you got the concept of jihadism .You media bcz your media is controlled by the enemies of islam the islamophobists who are afraid of truth thats why they make propogandas about the truth islam.Get some knowldge and the come i am ready for you to debate.peace
Yes sister do your research as much as you can.Bcz God Almighty in the Quran says that he do not like people who do not reason.God do not like people who do not use their brain and just blindly follows other people.You should study islam completely to the end of you life.And i Believe that You will guided to the truth by Almighty God Himself.Peace sister
And you know islam is the arabic word for peace.
And every muslim starts every thing by saying “Bismillah_er rahman_nir_rahim” that means that i starts with the name of One true God ,who is the most mercifull and forgiving.
And Allah_ hu _Akbar means Almighty God is the greatest.

Just found your channel, similar story here. After turning to Christianity, I studied at the Bible college. After returning from school, our pastor came with doubts regarding the divinity of Christ. In about half a year, a number of people left the church due to doubts of Bible, Christ, Trinity. I soon learned about the code 19 in the Quran and became muslim. Alhamdulillah! I am grateful Allah has been kind to me, may He guide you and protect you!
Salaam, can you please tell me what "the code 19 in the Coran" means? Barakallah fik
I am Muslims, and it is not good to believe in code 19 as it is not consistent with all parts of Quran, your believe should not be based on code 19, but on the message itself in the Quran :)
Again, it is not as consistent as u and others might think, so don’t fall for the code 19!
Read the part of the verse talking about 19 angels carefully, also watch Norman Ali khan videos regarding it.

There is so much to find out in Quran than code 19
@@hewadsaad3014If your Muslim you shouldn’t say that, code 19 is actually strong proof, we should consider that Allah shows signs to each person differently and guides them in His ways, I advise you to read the verse after, it clearly states that Allah put the code on purpose.
@yassinzao9790 Have you heard of surah al-Muddaththir? It's in there, the great secret unveiled. Mathematical composition in the Quran as Quran is structured in numbers. Every surah, verse, even letter and it's position is perfectly arranged by God.
Code 19 was debunked and was spread by a fraudulent and sleezy Muslim Sheik who was later charged but eventually assassinated by guess who…. A fellow angry Muslim man. I know surprising. 🙄

But you obviously respect her as a sister because Allah says he ordained the Gospel and Torah (Bible) and says we are just in our use of it:
‘He has sent down upon you, [O Muḥammad], the Book in truth, confirming what was before it. And He revealed the Torah and the Gospel previously, as a guide for people, and ˹also˺ revealed the Standard ˹to distinguish between right and wrong˺. Surely those who reject Allah’s revelations will suffer a severe torment. For Allah is Almighty, capable of punishment.’ Surah Ali’Imran 3:3-4
Validating God’s words cannot change:
‘And the word of your Lord has been fulfilled in truth and in justice. None can alter His words, and He is the Hearing, the Knowing.’ Surah Al-An’am 6:115
I’m sure she’d be happy to learn she can line up for a few beatings:
‘I said: Messenger of Allah, may my father and mother be ransom for you, and then I told him (the whole story). He said: Was it the darkness (of your shadow) that I saw in front of me? I said: Yes. He struck me on the chest which caused me pain,’ Sahih Muslim Hadith 2127
And all the other wonderful things Muhammad promoted like;
Marrying a child:
‘Khadija died three years before the Prophet (ﷺ) departed to Medina. He stayed there for two years or so and then he married `Aisha when she was a girl of six years of age, and he consumed that marriage when she was nine years old.’ Sahih al-Bukhari 3896
Being Racist:
‘Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "You should listen to and obey, your ruler even if he was an Ethiopian (black) slave whose head looks like a raisin."’ Sahih al-Bukhari 7142
‘I have heard the Apostle say: 'Whoever wants to see Satan should look at Nabtal.' He was a sturdy black man with long flowing hair, inflamed eyes, and dark ruddy cheeks.’ Ibn-Ishaq 243
Pagan gods (thought Satanic revelation was from God):
‘Now, have you considered ˹the idols of˺ Lât and ’Uzza, and the third one, Manât, as well?’ Surah An-Najm 53:19-20
Being Demon possessed (and trying to kill himself as a result):
‘The angel came to him in it and asked him to read. The Prophet (ﷺ) replied, "I do not know how to read." (The Prophet (ﷺ) added), "The angel caught me (forcefully) and pressed me so hard that I could not bear it anymore.’ Sahih al-Bukhari 6982
‘But after a few days Waraqa died and the Divine Inspiration was also paused for a while and the Prophet (ﷺ) became so sad as we have heard that he intended several times to throw himself from the tops of high mountains and every time he went up the top of a mountain in order to throw himself down, Gabriel would appear before him and say, "O Muhammad! You are indeed Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) in truth" whereupon his heart would become quiet and he would calm down and would return home. And whenever the period of the coming of the inspiration used to become long, he would do as before, but when he used to reach the top of a mountain, Gabriel would appear before him and say to him what he had said before.’ Sahih al-Bukhari 6982
Calling for slaughter of unbelievers (wouldn’t an almighty God want peace and as many saved as possible like Jesus preaches):
‘Kill them wherever you find them, and drive them out from where they drove you out, as Fitnah (to create disorder) is more severe than killing. However, do not fight them near Al-Masjid-ul-Harām (the Sacred Mosque in Makkah) unless they fight you there. However, if they fight you (there) you may kill them. Such is the reward of the disbelievers.’ Surah Al-Baqarah 2:191
Exalting Jesus (1st as sinless and uncorrupted, unlike Muhammad & all human beings):
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "When any human being is born. Satan touches him at both sides of the body with his two fingers, except Jesus, the son of Mary, whom Satan tried to touch but failed, for he touched the placenta-cover instead."’ Sahih al-Bukhari 3286
(2nd as Allah’s “word” making him eternal):
‘Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "He who bears witness that there is no true god except Allah, alone having no partner with Him, that Muhammad is His slave and His Messenger, that 'Isa (Jesus) is His slave and Messenger and he (Jesus) is His Word which He communicated to Maryam (Mary) and His spirit which He sent to her,’ Riyad as-Salihin 412
(3rd as the Messiah which can only be the OT Jewish messiah which is Immanuel - “God with us” making Jesus God [al-Masih means Messiah])
‘Water was trickling out of them. He was leaning on two men, or on the shoulders of two men, and he was circumscribing the Ka'bah. I asked, What is he? It was said: He is al-Masih son of Mary.’ Sahih Muslim 169
Finally, dying the prophesied false prophet death:
‘And if he (Muhammad ﷺ) had forged a false saying concerning Us (Allah). We surely would have seized him by his right hand (or with power and might), And then We certainly would have cut off his life artery (aorta), And none of you could have withheld Us from (punishing) him...’ Musnad Ahmad 107
‘The Prophet (ﷺ) in his ailment in which he died, used to say, "O `Aisha! I still feel the pain caused by the food I ate at Khaibar, and at this time, I feel as if my aorta is being cut from that poison."’ Sahih al-Bukhari 4428
If we’re going to pretend Christianity is false and illogical let’s make sure we are aligning with something morally better not far worse then we’ll understand such a feat is impossible,
“1 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;
2 Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;
3 Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth.
4 For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving:
5 For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer.
6 If thou put the brethren in remembrance of these things, thou shalt be a good minister of Jesus Christ, nourished up in the words of faith and of good doctrine, whereunto thou hast attained.”
1 Timothy 4:1-6

I too "lost" my Christian faith by going to college and majoring in Theology. For years after I was lost. I knew I needed and wanted God in my life but had no idea how. Then I studied Islam (which I had passed over disinterestedly in college) after 9/11 and realized that all the things I still believed and those I did not anymore were all contained in the Islamic faith.

Like many "Christians" today, Satan believes Jesus died on the cross, but not for HIS sins. He believes Jesus has risen, but not for HIS eternal life.
Satan believes the event of the cross but never put his trust in Christ's finished work for salvation.
Salvation is not: Believing there is a God. (Satan believes that)
Salvation is not: Believing Christ was the Messiah. (Satan believes that)
Salvation is not even... Believing Christ died, was buried and rose the third day. (Satan believes that also)
Salvation is: Believing Christ died for YOUR EVERY SIN and trusting that He rose to give you eternal life IN HIM!
Something Satan and most Christians want no part of because of their PRIDE!
If denominationalists truly believed Christ forgave their sins, they wouldn't spend so much time trying to GET them forgiven.
One tells you to pray for forgiveness.
One tells you to confess for forgiveness.
One tells you to believe for forgiveness.
One tells you to repent for forgiveness.
One tells you to be baptized for forgiveness.
And keep in mind, all of these folk with a straight face will tell you Christ DIED for your sins. Welcome to Nutsville!!! I think Dorothy got lost on the yellow brick road.
Today I unapologetically proclaim that there is only one way to be saved, and it has nothing to do with getting your sins forgiven. Salvations through FAITH. (Ephesians 2:8-9) Without faith it is impossible to please God.
Salvation comes to those who are ready to give up on THEIR performance and rest their faith in JESUS' performance.
The path to salvation is narrow. SO narrow that nothing you do will fit.
Satan will never be saved for the same reason he was kicked out of heaven. P-R-I-D-E. (Isaiah 14:12-14)
Read carefully and count how many times he says "I".
How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.
Satan is obviously a Narcissist!
Like a vain person in front of the mirror, five times in only three verses he boasts of himself. Pride keeps Satan from being saved as it does most of the world. They have fallen victim to SELFIANITY and are incapable of letting go and letting God. Incapable of taking their filthy hands off their salvation and allowing God to save them by HIS finished work!
If you say --- "I said a prayer for forgiveness." "I confessed for forgiveness." "I believed for forgiveness." "I repented for forgiveness." "I was baptized for forgiveness."
Then sadly you have fallen for the five I's just like Satan.
Salvation is not getting your sins forgiven, it's believing they already ARE!
To be saved, you must first get "I" out of the way.
You only get two educations, the one you're given and the one you give yourself!

Here is a list of statements that a legalist might say or think.
1. God's love for me depends on what I do.
2. Meeting the expectations of others, especially those in my congregation or in positions of authority, is very important.
3. I try hard to obey God and it irritates me that others think they can get away with avoiding the same level of dedication.
4. My main goal in life is to try to gain God's favor by doing things that will impress him.
5. My sense of spiritual well-being is linked to a Christian leader or membership in my church rather than a personal relationship with God.
6. I tell my children not to do something in church or around other Christian families that I allow in my home.
7. I believe my way is the best way and that most other Christians may be sincere, but are sincerely wrong.
8. I sometimes worry that people might take advantage of grace if it's preached too much - people might think they can do anything they want.
9. After being around Christians for a while I feel drained - weary of putting up a false front.
10. It’s not possible that someone with lower standards than me could love God as much as me.

I am nowhere near as educated or intelligent as you, but I too lost my Christian faith in school. I took a compressed seminary program for two years then began pursuing a religion and philosophy degree at a private Christian college. In short, learning about the Hellenization of Christianity and having a scholar/professor confirm that what was written in the Bible was mostly exactly what the writers wanted to write, both in the old and New Testament, and that is what they meant by God breathed, and not that’s they were necessarily the words of God, ended up finally allowing me to cut the cord and step into Islam. Alhamdulillah.

Brother Paul, you're a huge inspiration to Islam. It reminds me of Omar ibn Al khatab when he entered Islam because of this good character, which was an great impact on the arab society and also a lot of people entered Islam because of his shahada :) May Allah increase your knowledge.
Why does shahada include Muhammad? I thought Muslims believe in Allah, and that is the most important to them. Also, why is there no mention of Jesus in the shahada although Jesus is still alive even according to the Quran, and Muhammad died long time ago?
Tombuddy your question is simple the prophet Muhammad is included in the shahada because of many reasons that can be found in the Quran and the sunnah and jesus peace be upon him is already considered or accepted as a mighty messanger of Allah no Muslim is a Muslim if he does not believe in jesus peace be upon him not as god but a mighty messanger. There are numerous verses in the Quran instructing Muslims to follow the example of the prophet Muhammad peace be upon and to obey him especially in the aspect of worship. We are told in many verses of the Quran to obey Allah and obey his messanger and that without a shadow of doubt he is inspired by God to convey message to the people
@@tombuddy100 if you were a Christian and you accept Islam then you can also state that “I believe that Prophet Issa (Nabi Issa)the son of Maryam peace be upon them is a prophet of the Almighty”.

It's like listening to my own story. At the beginning it was difficult to realise or acknowledge. But then it became such a strong realization that I had to accept it and to make kind of a list, just like you, what I believe and what I don't. I was in this state for few years, thinking and looking around for others like me. I thought it should be somewhere a group, It can't be just me who thinks the way I do....And I sincerely asked God for guidance. And I discovered Islam. It was an eye opening experience, I found it logical and making sense for me, like: yes, this is exactly how I understand relationship with God. I also liked that there is kind of complete life instruction from daily life to spiritual things.After another few years my mind was convinced about choosing Islam, but the problem was that my heart wasn't there. It's like I was accepting it rationally, but wasn't completely connected spiritually, emotionally (hard to explain), it's like it didn't penetrate my heart yet to feel I'm part of it, part of brotherhood.
So I decided to give myself some time, I went to Islamic centre to take some classes and give myself a year to think if I can accept it or maybe walk away (because it was a life changing decision, not easy, I had worries how people around would react so I have to be certain before I do anything).
And very next day it just happened, it was unexpected, just during the class as I was listening to a lecturer it's like I woke up or came to awareness that I feel it, that I am Muslim. All my worries were gone at that moment, and instead there was one - I have to say shahada, if I don't do this today I might die tomorrow not being one.
I believe what happened during that class was a gift from God, guidance I asked before, because in a sense I came one person to the centre and left it being another one (with light of believe). I'm 49 now, and that was 18 years ago.
PS Oh, and by the way, I took it quite seriously after that. I went to Syria to study Arabic and continued into studying Islamic theology there. But then war started and I had to leave. Haven't finished. But happy to be able to read Quran and Ahadeeth myself, opinion of scholars and be able to come to conclusions myself. that was important for me, not to be dependant on translations only.
God is the epitome of Holiness because He is sinlessly perfect, A sinner (liar, sexually immoral, taking the Lord’s Name in vain, thief etc) cannot be in the presence of God or else he will be utterly consumed therefore repent of your sins and put your faith in Jesus as your Lord and Saviour to go to Heaven.

When it should to be 7 books in 7 versions, but now is only 1 book wich was written after our Prophet's death, the remake one's, the ustman version, there was a convention about this...
I think You could not guarantee, whether the remake one's has no changed, removed or added
And you know, the 7 version of ordered to be burnt by ustman, I read it, that's the reason why he hasn't good relations with them
And I got many points, the remake one's has some contradictions each other and some hadiths. That's why it could split the Muslims into many sects till nowadays.
But fortunately (in my opinion), ustman didn't capable to change every verses, the easiest way was adding the verses, he has did it. While he and his companion didn't have capabilities to removed n changed all verses, that's why there are so many contradictions
And it's not too bad for me as well, I still read it and recite it. But always keep on my mind wich verses I should take, I needs to use my brain as well wich were the authentic's.

My Dear you are speaking about one of the best and closest of companions to The Prophet Muhammad(S.A.W).
His fear would be too great to ever change anything in the Quran .Haven't you read that Allah is all Seeing And all Hearing.
Alhamdulillah. I'm a born muslim from Malaysia and I learn lot from your research and dedication to find the truth.

My experience with Christianity is almost identical to your own. I loved being an Evangelical Christian, loved having a community of brothers and sisters in Christ, and feeling that I could be useful in leading people to Him. However, I have always been a keen researcher, and in order to dispel my growing doubts, I delved deeper and deeper. Unfortunately, (or perhaps fortunately), my studies, rather than dispel my misgivings, only increased them. To the point that I had to leave Christianity. This was a great loss for me in many ways, not the least of which was the disappearance of all my Christian friends. I am now beginning my search into Islam, and I find your Blog exceedingly helpful. Thank you.
Do you even know what the evangelicals fully believe in?
Alhamdulillah. May Allah be with you. I was once a Roman Catholic, then became a Born Again Christian. A few years ago accepted Islam. Having read the Bible over and over again, I am amazed to find the Truth in the Holy Quran and that there are no contradictions in regard to what exists in the Bible regarding the Prophets and other incidents. Masha'Allah.
@Mary Gomes Jesus was declared to be God by the Church in the 5th century AD. Jesus never said he was God
@Mary Gomes Mary is the only woman mentioned by name in the Quran. Others are referred to as the 'spouse'. Adam was the first man created and from him his wife
@Religion comes first Islam comes first Thanks brother for encouragement. Am sister, by the way,😊 All these who post such remarks have never read the Quran. If only they would read the Quran, their lives would change forever.
@Truth Speaker but judgement day is near, we have had many many many prophets before the last. Each prophet going back lived hundreds to a thousand years. The Qur'an is not even a thousand years old, so in comparison to the total time spent by God sending messengers, a thousand years is a mere speck of sand in an hourglass that falls till judgement day. Currently, signs of judgement day are clear, so it's true that it is near.
@Truth Speaker We know he saaws lived 600 hundred years after Jesus (as) but we believe he saaws received revelation.It's not his (saaws') knowledge, it's God's, just like all the prophets (pbut). The New Testament writers weren't prophets (pbut) and didn't claim to be and no one knows who even wrote them with certainty. So yeah there is a difference and logic behind it. And it matters that the Gospel of John came that much later because people claim it was written by a disciple but if it was written in a certain time it clearly was not written by a disciple or eye witness as the claim goes.
I believe the voice from people who converted to Islam a lot more is powerful than people who was born as Muslims. your voice matters. Thanks for sharing your story. 🙏🙏
All Humans need to repent & Believe in Jesus. Why? Because all Humans have sinned (lied, lusted sexually, stolen, dishonoured parents etc). Avoid the fires of Hell (justice of God) and choose Heaven today. Jesus defeated death by rising from the dead. GOD IS HOLY
@@Dailymailnewz Look ill share something personal. I’ve personally seen Jesus (Not worthy), Heaven and Hell. Hell is worse than what you think (I was shaking after that experience), and Heaven is better than what you think. I have also received a personal healing miracle, I can go into details if you want. This is how God works. If you give Him the benefit of the doubt, He gives you more and more. Would I spend even 2 minutes preaching if I had an ounce of doubt? (I’ve experienced way too much)

Jesus cant be god! He was dependent on food water and every human weaknesses
Even having been born into a Muslim household, I merely adhered to the ritualistic part of the religion. Could never attain the inwardly contentment that was lacking.
It was only much later in life that I seriously studied the Quran and applied its teachings to my dealings with God and other humans that I was able to achieve some level of inner peace and security.
Same here. I think most Muslim parents fail their children by not exposing them to the fullness of Islam. We would only hear about hell and how terrible it would be. Only with age did I read the quran and the hadith and realised it was the complete opposite. Kindness, compassion, loyalty, and morality were all encouraged. I have a certain peace inside that I didn't have before. Inshallah every Muslim will experience this truth too.
Almost every sincere born muslim has that phase

@Flaperons Maybe because the so-called "pagans/mushrikin quraish idol called "allah" makes way more sense than any other so-called God/s :P ;) 😁
@@bluellamaslearnbeyondthele2456 "mushrikin" means peoples whom associate with God (Allah in Arabic ,Elohim in Hebrew) other gods (idols in this case). Arab mushrikin thought that worshiping those idols help them come closer to God. Mohamed (PBUH) told them to worship Allah alone and discard worshiping any other god or deity.
what Cool Desert Knight said is a mockery not a defense. And what Flaperons said is simply a lie. You can check for that on Google or (if you like) any Islamic center.
@@aymenhakim3136 as much as appreciate your answer or rather, you answering... I have to ask another more uncomfortable question.
So you make a distinction between Mohammed's diety and all other disqualified gods, that are deemed idols, because they have some form?
Is this just a tangible to non-tangible transition?
(Christians would have statues or paintings of diverse entities, yet still would be considered of the book.... But it still is kind of that simple.)
So Allah would be a diety that is less tangible, plus, it has biblical roots (Gabriel, monotheism, plagiarized passages taken over with a certain filter... )
Mormons do the same thing though. Swear on slapping the right book onto the NT and claim continuity.
Is the Mormon god an idol?
One could probably look at many invisible, no-statue, gods like these.
So why are you associating with the right one and not them?
@@bluellamaslearnbeyondthele2456 I will try my best to answer your question, however please note that I'm not a scholar and I have a shallow awareness of the of the differences between Christians sects. So I cannot highlight the exact issue on a particular sect like someone who already able to do comparisons. I will talk from a "pure" Islamic view along with my understandings. If this is not sufficient you may need to consider talking to Muslims whom are more in contact with Christian culture. Yet I hope my answer will be useful to you.
When I say God or Allah or "The Creator" I refer to the Supreme Being who created and sustain this whole universe and who made an awareness of his existence in every human being along with a basic understanding for his attributes. Be careful: I've said awareness of his existence not his name. names are more or less labels. And they differ from one language to another. But this is a big claim. right? Unfortunately this claim is deniable.
But think a moment about that: what makes peoples from most religions to agree on most of God attributes "naturally" and assume easily that what they are telling each others about God is understandable even that they are fully aware that their religions is different? it is as if they are implicitly agreed at some point that God has such and such attributes and that they are just reminding each others of such information. for that you find that they usually rather than asking:"do God in your religion do xyz?" say firmly:"God does not do xyz!". This is not (only?) affirmation of what this person think but an assumption that the listener have what it take to understand and (hopefully) comply. Please note that this is not a "proof". This is a sign.
As a conclusion: it's futile to to think that peoples could fail to recognize which god we are talking about when we refer to him as The Supreme Being, The Creator and Sustainer of the world. However, peoples differ in what they associate with God in terms of attributes and other claimed gods.
Now that this has been clarified let's return back to some points:
* Arabs idol worshipers does not worship idols only, they worshiped God (Allah in Arabic language, the supreme being, creator and sustainer) and idols. As I said in the earlier comment, they associated with God other (false) gods. They thought that those other gods represented by idols will help them to come closer to God.
* Christians where also considered among the mushrikin because they associated with God two other entities (at least): Jesus (PBUH) and Holy Spirit. We consider Jesus to be one of mightiest messengers of God, and Holy Spirit to be the Angel Gabriel. And we consider that all messengers of God come in order to instruct peoples to worship God only. Lot of debates occurs here. if you are interested consider watching the most famous ones on youtube.
* You need to consider that in case of scriptures, it's totally normal to find similar stories. In fact When you consider that God is unpleased by the deviation of doctrine, fabrications and interpolations in the bible: it really make sense to resend those stories and instructions (corrected) to the peoples. this is not plagiarization. It's up to God Almighty to decide when and where he will send a prophet and what kind of content he know to be appropriate and useful to peoples!
As an answer to your last question: there are many factors I cannot even summarize them in a comment (I've actually spent some hours on writing this comment so far, trying to make as few grammar mistakes as i can while be precise and clear about what i wrote) so i will chose two factors among them:
* All prophets before Mohamed(PBUH) have instructed their peoples to look for the next prophet (or at least to simplify this discussion does not claim themselves to be the seal of prophets), this make their followers obliged (in religious context) to look for those prophets and follow them. If Mormons or any other sect reject the message of Mohamed(PBUH) then they must have strong evidence to reject. Until now despite of the debates I watched (Muslim/Christian, not Mormon in specific) I cannot find one.
* As a Muslim I didn't find other religions that came close to what Islam present on many aspects. In fact many peoples converted/reverted to Islam because they got answers they didn't find otherwise. maybe this factor sounds too personal. but yeah it's a legitimate one.
I hope you found this useful. And I think I have answered your questions either directly or indirectly.
Although I born as a Muslim and native Arabic speaker, L learned about the beauty of Islam from the newcomers 🌹
Hoping that Allah guide us all to the best
İndeed sister, new Muslims can bring new perspectives and if it happens that we look from these new perspectives we can see things about our religion and ourselves previously unnoticed. Also converts from Christianity are very special. Quran so often praises certain Christians that I cannot help thinking Quran treats them as special. It seems it is a divine appointment. My best wishes to everyone here. May Allah reward you in this world and in ahira
@@SR-df9jd Thank you for this detailed message. Growing in a muslim house is a very good and precious thing but as with every other thing, bcs of lack of comparison or lack of seeing it from outside we may not be aware of certain perspectives. But I do not want to devalue living in a muslim house bcs if it is a good house that grows children as good muslims we may achieve feraset that is spesific to believers. Feraset is quite similar to awareness. So I think we are both mutually enrichening for one another and I thoroughly agree on the opinion that we must understand scholar converts. This can refresh us. And sometimes very importantly make us differentiate what is traditional and what is directly from religion. Bcs we do not have merely religion in our muslim majority countries but also some sociological staff. For example in some parts (only some and by far minority) of my country (i.e. Turkey) parents may be unwilling to give heritage to daughters or there may be blood feuds (again very little amount but still there is even after 100's of years of muslim existence) which are clearly against the principles of Islam. So seeing our own selves from another perspective may be very useful for improving our own selves and communities. May Allah give blessings to all of us in this world and hereafter. Best wishes.

I agree that Catholicism has serious problems, and Anglicanism has some as well.
You made a big mistake by looking for RELIGION instead of TRUTH. Jesus is the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father except through Him.
Islam is based on denial of historical facts concerning Jesus. It also tries to minimize the role which Israel played in salvation history. The Arabs were envious of the Jews for a long, long time before 1948.
They still pretend that Jewish land is theirs.

In that video I talk about the time statements and why they cannot be escaped. I see that they helped lead to your deconversion as they did mine as well.

What do you mean? Why do you think so?
The Christian God is the Father alone. That's is what Jesus said numerous times. Check the Gospels in the Bible. So, what's the problem?
It's not what Christians "traditionally" believe, but what is written in the Bible, which they should believe.

"Allah 61 is the Light of the heavens and the earth.62 His Light (in the Universe) may be likened to a niche wherein is a lamp, and the lamp is in the crystal which shines in star-like brilliance. It is lit from (the oil) of a blessed olive tree63 that is neither eastern nor western.64 Its oil well nigh glows forth (of itself) though no fire touched it: Light upon Light.65 Allah guides to His Light whom He wills.66 Allah sets forth parables to make people understand. Allah knows everything."
2011, Dr. Keith Small published a thorough comparison of the popular modern Quranic text to 22 other copies of the Quran, including many of the earliest manuscripts we possess as well as several medieval manuscripts and one modern edition of the Warsh text used by many Muslims in North Africa and Yemen. He focused his work specifically on Surah 14:35-41.8 In just these seven verses, he found nearly 350 variants among all the manuscripts he examined. The vast majority of these variants were mere matters of spelling conventions and lettering systems that have absolutely no effect on the meaning whatsoever. 21 variants, or about 6% of the total, were plainly copyist mistakes in the particular manuscript in question. There were 17 variants (or 5% of the total) that did, in fact, affect the meaning of the text but even here the impact on the meaning was typically rather minor.carm.org/have-there-been-changes-in-the-quran
Only 1 religion can be true logically, truth is that which corresponds to reality. Dear Muslim we love you but Surah 4:157 denies the historical event of the Crucifixion. Surah 4:157 in the Quran denies the historical event of the crucifixion of the Lord Jesus Christ which historians, scholars, and professors say is a fact, alongside angels (Mark 16:6), prophecies (Isaiah 53), and Jesus who said He would be killed/crucified (Luke 9:22, 24:44-47, Matthew 16:21, Mark 8:31, 9:31, 10:33-34). One of the most certain facts of history is that Jesus was crucified on orders of the Roman prefect of Judea, Pontius Pilate. (p. 162) - Bart Ehrman JD Crossan, in The Historical Jesus: [there is not the] slightest doubt about the fact of Jesus’ crucifixion under Pontius Pilate. Gerd Ludemann, A Historical Inquiry, 2004: Jesus’ death as a consequence of crucifixion is indisputable. (p. 50) “The evidence for life, the death, and the resurrection of Christ is better authenticated than most of the facts of ancient history.” (E. M, Professor of Classics at Auckland University), Any unbiased document scholar will agree that the Bible has been remarkably well-preserved over the centuries. Copies of the Bible dating to the 14th century AD are nearly identical in content to copies from the 3rd century AD. When the Dead Sea Scrolls were discovered, scholars were shocked to see how similar they were to other ancient copies of the Old Testament, even though the Dead Sea Scrolls were hundreds of years older than anything previously discovered. Even many hardened skeptics and critics of the Bible admit that the Bible has been transmitted over the centuries far more accurately than any other ancient document. There is absolutely no evidence that the Bible has been revised, edited, or tampered with in any systematic manner. The sheer volume of biblical manuscripts makes it simple to recognize any attempt to distort God’s Word. (Gotquestions) Most sources in ancient history have 4ft, the Bible goes over 2.5+ miles Norman Geisler states “There is more evidence that the Bible is a reliable source than there is for any other book from the ancient world.” The beauty of the Bible, It was written by 40+ authors in a span of 1500+ years with 66 books in 3 continents remaining consistent throughout it all fulfilling 2500+ prophecies backed up with 25000+ archaeological evidence, contains more manuscripts and data recorded in history with 57000+ manuscripts, more than any other work of antiquity even with over 2.6 million pages of texts. For the New Testament 24,000+ with 5,800 Greek manuscripts, etc. We have all sinned against the Holy God, every lie, theft, bad word and we deserve Hell, but Jesus, being truly God truly man willingly died for our sins to take the punishment for us and rose again offering salvation freely to those who turn to Him by faith alone in what He has done for them.You and I, we broke God’s laws, whether you have have lied or stolen, said a bad word, hated someone, looked with lust, blasphemed (saying OMG), so on. A just judge is going to punish guilty criminals for their crimes and we deserve to go to Hell for our willful crimes, but, God in His love despite our hatred toward Him, made a way for sinners to be forgiven without violating justice. He took on flesh in the person of Jesus Christ. He lived the sinless life we couldn’t, and then offered Himself on the cross as a sacrifice for sin. You see, God is perfectly Holy, Just and Good. His justice means Hell for those who are guilty. According to Moses God won’t leave the guilty unpunished, God Is infinitely more just than a human judge, and a just judge is going to bring forth justice for those who break the law, and God will righteously punish sin and condemn guilty sinners to Hell. God won’t sweep sin under a carpet, He is going to punish it. However, there’s GOOD NEWS! God made a way for sinners to be forgiven without violating justice. You and I broke, God’s laws, Jesus came to pay our bail! God Himself took on flesh in the person of Jesus Christ. He lived the sinless life we failed to do having the perfect righteousness, and then offered Himself on the cross as a sacrifice for sin. If you trust in Jesus He will take your dirty broken record upon Himself and be punished for you, and give you His righteousness as a gift! Imagine there’s a HUGE truck coming towards you while you are distracted, and before it hits you, someone whom you’ve spent your life hating runs into the road, pushes you out of the way and is completely crushed and slaughtered by the force of the truck for you, how would you feel? Well that’s what Jesus did for us when Jesus took the wrath of the Father that we deserved, was buried, then rose from the dead… showing the penalty fully paid! God offers salvation as a gift, you can either reject it or receive by turning to God through faith alone in the Lord Jesus Christ. Romans 5:8 “But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.” John 3:16 “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” Love you! Also some more errors in Islam. Like for example how Islam denies History and science and so on. Surah 7:157 says muhammad is in the Torah and gospels but is false and is never found in any text of the Bible. Surah 3:54, 4:171 say Jesus was Muslim but that’s historically false. Surah 20:85-89 says a Samaritan led the Israelites away from the golden calf during moses, this is false as Moses lived around 1400 B.C. Also Samaria wasn’t founded until the 9th century BC by Omri. Surah 2:125 and Sahih al bukhari 55:636 say Abraham built the Kaaba, this is false as muhammad said it was built 40 years prior to the temple in Jerusalem (Sahih al bukhari 55:636), the temple at Jerusalem was built by Solomon around 958 B.C. This is absurd because Abraham lived around 2,000 B.C. Sahih al bukhari 2658 says women are intellectually deficient which isn’t true, expert hands Flynn a scientists showed that women are equal or sometimes surpass men IQ. Sahih al bukhari 536-537 said severe heat of summer and the bitter cold of winter are caused by Hell breathing. Sahih al bukhari 3329 also says someone’s physical characteristics and looks are determined by whether the male or female discharged first during intercourse which is absolutely false Surah 37:6-10 says fire from shooting stars chase away demons who eaves drop. Sahih al bukhari 3263 says a fever is from the heat of hell fire. God is fully merciful and fully just and fully wrathful and fully loving and all that is perfectly shown at the Cross. Christ was the lamb sacrifice for our sins as they did back in the Torah with sacrificing lambs for a clear conscience, but Christ being our high priest took our punishment and God’s justified was satisfied as our sins were paid for now we can justly and mercifully be spared, not only justified but He sanctifies us so it’s a relationship, not trying to do this and that to try to earn God’s love with rituals and legalism just for a maybe on being saved. In Christianity God makes it perfect so we can have full assurance, perfectly balanced, God changes us and our desires and gives us the Holy Spirit so now out of a relationship, being 100% saved and being changed we want to obey. Keep in mind modern science arose from Christians in the 16-17th century, “The evidence for the resurrection is better than for claimed miracles in any other religion. It’s outstandingly different in quality and quantity.”-Anthony Flew. Also the beauty of the Bible, It was written by 40+ authors in a span of 1500+ years with 66 books in 3 continents remaining consistent throughout it all fulfilling 2500+ prophecies backed up with 25000+ archaeological evidence and contains more manuscripts and data recorded in history with 57000+ manuscripts for the New Testament with 5,800 and more Dead Sea scrolls 15 ancient sources, and it talked about anthropology, biology, entropy. 3000 years ago the Bible talked about the universe’s expansion and the earths unsuspension, the hydrolic cycle and so on before science even had a clue. The Lord Jesus is your only hope!!
@@irfanismail7783 Hey stranger! (TLDR NeedGod.net) I come in total love, I am no better than anyone here but please hear me out. Jesus did not come to save good religious people but the broken, lost, the outcast, sinners. You are valuable, not the product of nothing. “Atheism is senseless. I see the earth at the right distance from the sun to receive the proper amounts of heat and light. This did not happen by chance.” - (Isaac Newton, scientist) You don’t have to try to earn God’s love or try to work your way to Heaven. We already broke God’s laws, whether we have lied or sworn, looked with lust, hated, and so on, and like a just judge, God must justly punish criminals in Hell... but there is good news. Let’s say you break a speeding law, 500$ fine, all of a sudden someone pays it, nothing remains left for you to pay. So if someone perfect would be willing to take all of your Hell punishment and give you their perfect record you can justly go to Heaven because someone paid your fine. God in His love despite our hatred toward Him, made a way for sinners to be forgiven without violating justice. He took on flesh in the person of Jesus Christ. He lived the sinless life we coudnt, and then offered Himself on the cross as a sacrifice for sin. Jesus took the wrath of God you and I deserved, then rose from the dead! If someone takes your Hell punishment then you can go to Heaven! Jesus did all the work, no amount of good works can save you. God calls you to turn to Him through faith in Jesus alone for salvation. “The evidence for the life, death, and the resurrection of Christ is better authenticated than most of the facts of ancient history.” (E. M, Professor of Classics at Auckland University) come to repent (from unbelief to belief) through trusting alone in Him leading to a new transformed life.

After reading so many "pro & con" comments, I would like to say this to those who resist opening their minds to sound information.The "Christian" mentality propounded by Paul of Tarsus, not the thinker Paul Williams, has a lot do with that irrational "clinging" to a manufactured faith that Jesus (PBUH) did NOT preach to his followers.
Now, the questions are:
1. Is it out of "fear" of having to deal with the many duties & requirements of islamic teachings or simply the complacency afforded by the teachings of Saul (which by the way allows one to live a life of moral uncertainty, as long as they believe in the redemption that someone died for their sins, implying that they can keep sinning and not have to curb their immoral appetites) that so-called Christians "don't want to hear it".?
2. Is it out of shear "blind contempt" to all things Islamic faith & teachings & duties & requirements?
3. Is it because they lack the intellectual capabilities required for clarity of mind that may be conducive to the truth, a naked unbearable truth...?
5. What is this reluctance of getting an education about Islam when 1.7 billion people and counting are telling you: not to embrace their faith blindly but to inform yourself, at least, so that you won't claim or wonder later on why no one said anything to you about this faith that is universal, hence all inclusive?
There is no such a things as "islamic propaganda" and there is not monetary gain generated from an invite to check a faith out. Because, the reward for preventing someone from going astray comes from the Creator of the universe, solely and NO ONE ELSE.
All the same, it is FREE WILL. Just gain some knowledge about it and if "it is not for you", no one is hurt amongst the Muslims ( because they will have tried to help) except that the burden still falls upon your shoulders of "sorting things out". Why? Because you wouldn't be arguing with Muslims on RUclips if you were truly satisfied with your clinging to a faith that is NOT a true faith, after all!
Put your doubts aside, read what those who were in your shoes so adamantly, have to say about being wrong all along.
Here are some of Islamic scholars of western origin, whose advanced knowledge you may benefit from:
1. Arnoud van Doorn (Netherlands)
2. Joram van Klavereen (Nederlands)
3. Dr Lawrence Brown ( USA)
4. Dr Wilfried Murad Hoffmann (Germany)
5. Leopold Weiss (Mohamed Assad) (Austria)
6. Dr Jeffrey Lang (Math Professor)/ USA
7. Late Dr Gary Miller (USA)
8. Late Dr Maurice Bucaille (France)
9. Late Dr Roger Garody (France)...etc
To quote only a few of the multitude of western scholars who were, formerly either atheists or Christians or Jews and, ultimately, embraced Islam wholeheartedly.
Do yourself a favor & do your homework.
And thank Almighty God, later.
Just "read", that's also the first Koranic verse that was revealed to the Prophet of Islam (PBUH).
And peace be with you, brothers & sisters.
Good luck with Almighty's guidance!
Peace.

Chapter 9 is called (repentance). It deals in time of WAR with polytheists(some Jews, Christians, Arab pagans and other religions) after they broke a peace treaty in time of the battle of Tabuk in Madinah in the 9th year of hijrah(migration).
Its the only chapter which does not begin ln with( in the name of Allah, most gracious the most merciful).

You are the epitome of what the Holy Quran refers to when it states-' Verily among the people of the book closest to you (muslims) are those who call themselves 'christians' for they are humble and sincere in seeking knowledge.'

John 8:57-58 “The people said, “You aren’t even fifty years old. How can you say you have seen Abraham?” Jesus answered, “I tell you the truth, before Abraham was even born, I Am!”
John 8:22-24 “This made the Jews ask, “Will he kill himself? Is that why he says, ‘Where I go, you cannot come’?” But he continued, “You are from below; I am from above. You are of this world; I am not of this world. I told you that you would die in your sins; if you do not believe that I am he, you will indeed die in your sins.”
John 13:18-19 “I am not referring to all of you; I know those I have chosen. But this is to fulfill this passage of Scripture: ‘He who shared my bread has turned against me.’ “I am telling you now before it happens, so that when it does happen you will believe that I am who I am.

Matthew 28:8-9 “So the women hurried away from the tomb, afraid yet filled with joy, and ran to tell his disciples. Suddenly Jesus met them. “Greetings,” he said. They came to him, clasped his feet and worshiped him.“
Acts 7:59-60 “And as they were stoning Stephen, he called out, “Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.” And falling to his knees he cried out with a loud voice, “Lord, do not hold this sin against them.” And when he had said this, he fell asleep.“

2 Peter 1:1 “Simon Peter, a servant and apostle of Jesus Christ, To those who have obtained a faith of equal standing with ours by the righteousness of our God and Savior Jesus Christ.“
Isaiah 9:6-7 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this.
Isaiah 7:14 Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.
Matthew 1:20-23 But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, "Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost. And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins." Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, "Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel," which being interpreted is, God with us.

AND THE FIRST BORN WENT IN AND LAY WITH HER FATHER;HE DID NOT KNOW WHEN SHE LAY DOWN OR WHEN SHE AROSE.And on the next day,the first-born said to the younger "Behold,i lay last night with my father,let us make him drink wine tonight also;then you go in lie with him that we may preserve offspring through our father.So they made their father drink wine that night also,and the younger arose,and LAY WITH HIM; and he did not know when she lay down or when she arose.

He said, " What pledge shall i give you?" She replied "Your signal and your cord and your staff that is in your hand." So he gave them to her,and WENT INTO HER, and she conceived by him.

I have perfumed my bed with myrrh,aloes,and cinnamon, COME,LET US TAKE OUR FILL TO OUR LOVE TILL THE MORNING,LET US DELIGHT OURSELVES WITH LOVE.

Evidently you never were a follower of Christ, or were a fair-weather friend, like seed sown on rocky ground. Jesus does not give eternal life and then take it back. t's not like Him to pull the rug from under one's feet.
Perhaps you are more concerned about intellectual 'propriety' than living with God, being part of His fellowship and household. Ironically, too heavy an emphasis on Reason can lead one into dangerous doctrinal shoals.
We do not have a perspective on your entire life. It is possible for a Christian to backslide for many years, even losing one's conscious identity as a Christian, and to return later in 'prodigal' fashion. However this is NOT to be recommended.
I could never understand the attraction of any non-Christian religion. For me the choice was easy: secular ideology or Christ. Leave the rest to cultural anthropologists. Muslims are as human as anyone else, and i've met some who were quite nice, but their religion is abominable.
As Jesus said, 'you shall know them by their fruits'. Do you really want to end up on the wrong side of history?

It’s one of the 6 pillars of faith, that we must believe in all of Gods prophets and messengers and praise them and honour them and believe as they believed and defend them, with our lives, wealth families etc all for the sake of God alone. But we never raise them to a status of divinity that is only for God alone…Because God loves Jesus we must love him and follow his beliefs..simple.
I follow your Theology Blog with great interest and this particular blog 'Why I am no longer a Christian' is absolutely fascinating. For the sake of clarity and so you are clear from where I'm personally coming. I also consider that, in the orthodox sense of the word, I am not a Christian but in the cultural, philosophical and historical sense I most certainly am. I cannot be other. All my thinking, my modus operandi/vivendi is Christian in its deepest nature simply by having been born into the European Judaeo-Christian world-view. These teachings, if you like, are ipso facto, the bricks and mortar from which our Western and Eastern European mindset engages with life. So when you say that you don't believe in Atonement, it is in a sense a denial of our mutual experience where throughout our lives European history has demanded, in countless bloody wars, that we, its citizens, pay the ultimate price in order to atone to save our families, our traditions, our sense of what is right. If we see Jesus's death on the cross as symbolic or even even as an elevated metaphor of some kind for that act of personal self-sacrifice that each of us, at some time in our lives, makes for the greater good, then in this sense alone we all believe in a divine act of atonement. Have you read Professor David Ford's latest book: 'The Gospel of John'. And if you have, would you agree that his insights into the writings we find in John purposefully limit factual acountability and try to focus our attention on the bare experience of reading that Gospel and living it. Many thanks again for you excellent insights. I especially enjoy your blogs on Islam. Dr Garry Bannister.

I stopped calling myself a Christian over 40 years ago after reading the Bible and seeing that Jesus, peace be upon him, never said that word. Jesus, p, said the first commandment is, "hear O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is One. (Mark 12:29), in old testament I read honor your father and mother, in nt, I read Do not call any man on earth your father (huge contradiction!!??). In matt 7:21-23 I read, not everyone that says to me (Jesus, p, ) Lord Lord shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he that does the Will of my Father in heaven. At this point I prayed to my Creator, "Oh One Creator of the heavens and earth, Adam, Eve and everything, forgive me , have mercy on me and guide me to do Your Will on earth so I can get back to heaven, amen. " also "Oh One Creator, show me who is doing Your Will on earth now, amen. Thank You" All Praise & Thanks to the Almighty Allah, I met Muslims, borrowed their Quran, read it, I learned to pray salaah, I fasted some days of Ramadan and I witness none deserves to be worshipped besides Allah and Muhammad is the messenger and slave of Allah and Jesus is the messenger and slave of Allah. I submit to the Will of Allah and obey Him the best I can and ask Him to forgive me and have mercy on me and all submitters (Muslims) and Believers in One Creator Lord Almighty and guide all to the Quran and sunnah (mentioned in tafseer of Quran..). Assalaamu 'alaykum Bro. & Sis. in Islam (Submission to the Will of Allah, the One Creator Lord Almighty of all the worlds) and Peace be on those who follow the completed guidance of the One Almighty in Quran and sunnah.

People often say, “I’m not hurting anyone so it’s ok to sin (lying, stealing, sexual sins, disrespecting parents etc)” The same God who said to love your neighbour first said to love Him to the best of your ability. If you carry on sinning, then you do not love God but are selfish like the devil so you will be joined to your father in hell or repent of your sins and believe in Jesus as God so Jesus adopts you as His child and you will join Him in Heaven forever.

People often say, “I’m not hurting anyone so it’s ok to sin (lying, stealing, sexual sins, disrespecting parents etc)” The same God who said to love your neighbour first said to love Him to the best of your ability. If you carry on sinning, then you do not love God but are selfish like the devil so you will be joined to your father in hell or repent of your sins and believe in Jesus as God so Jesus adopts you as His child and you will join Him in Heaven forever.

3yrs ago I asked Allah (swt) for guidance amongst my growing confusion as a Christian, the next thing I knew one of this man’s videos popped up on my RUclips feed. It wasn’t long after that I accepted Islam, Alhamdulillah.
@duffsman316 - And I guess you thought to yourself, "This couldn't be the Devil trying to deceive me"......But it was, and you are.....Until you hear God's Voice "personally", which is what happens when you enter the New Covenant, you are no better off now in Islam than you were when you were seeking God in the NT scriptures.
I understand completely. The closer I tried to get to the truth, the further away I seemed to get from it. I find it hard now to believe anything in the gospels as the word of Jesus. To many contrary views, errors in translations and additions. Creating the idea of the trinity from a few scattered and unreliable verses. This is not what l expected .

@Townsend m
Peace be with you. You're a sincere seeker of truth. Since you mentioned the Trinity, the following could be of great benefit to you.
Jesus NEVER claimed to be God. Jesus NEVER said what he had no right to say. *Look how the False teachers CORRUPTED the message of Jesus in their writings and preaching and made over a BILLION+ people (Christians) actually make a 🚩 LIAR of Jesus whom they profess to love*
Jesus gave the testimony that THE FATHER IS THE ONLY TRUE GOD but the Christians (overwhelming majority) testify that the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit (The Trinity) is the true God.
***********
🚩 The Church Fathers went so far as to MUTILATE the testimony of Jesus in their writings and preaching and the results are right in front of you. The very testimony of Jesus is right in front of you. All your life the Church sold you the abomination of the Trinity and Jesus being God BUT here is the reality.
The clear and emphatic, *Trinity-DESTROYING* , Islamic, unitarian monotheism of John 17:3 gave so much trouble to the Church as we see in the writings of early patristic authorities as they encounter the verse. One such patristic figure was the Doctor of the Church*** Augustine. He just could not digest the explicit and emphatic Trinity-Destroying testimony of Jesus Christ in John 17:3 that he attempted to MUTILATE the whole thing completely so that it would place Jesus side by side with the Father and together they would be declared “the only true God.” Dissatisfied with what John 17:3 says, Augustine writes the following in Tractate 105 of his Homilies on the Gospel of John:
“But this, saith He, is life eternal, that they may know Thee [the Father] the only true God, and Jesus Christ, Whom Thou hast sent. The [proper] order of the words is: “That Thee [the Father] and Jesus Christ whom Thou hast sent, they may know to be the only true God.”
The clear and emphatic, Islamic, unitarian message of John 17:3 was far too disagreeable to Augustine that he was willing to completely MUTILATE what was there in the scripture. And he was not alone in such an irresponsible enterprise.
THE ONLY TRUE GOD - THE FATHER - exposes such kind and destroys such abominations that Christians attribute to HIM and Jesus.
@Townsend m
On the subject of GOD and worship:
Jesus and the Muslim are ALREADY on the same side. The Muslim worships whom Jesus worships. The scriptures testify.
John 4:21-22
Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, *WORSHIP THE FATHER* .
Ye worship ye know not what: *WE* know what *WE WORSHIP* : for salvation is of the Jews.
Have another look:
*WE WORSHIP*
(The Jews INCLUDING ME - Jesus)
“And this is life eternal, that they might know *YOU THE ONLY TRUE GOD* , and Jesus Christ, whom *YOU* have sent.”
John 17:3
John 20:17: “Jesus saith unto her, ...I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and TO MY GOD, AND YOUR GOD.”
Have another look!
".... *TO MY GOD and YOUR GOD* "
ME and YOU 👉 *WE*
*WE WORSHIP*
THE ONLY TRUE GOD - THE FATHER who is THE GOD OF ME (Jesus) and YOU 👉 *OUR GOD*
And Jesus answered him, THE FIRST OF ALL the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord *OUR GOD* is one Lord
Mark 12:29
Jesus teaches: “Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and *HIM ONLY* shalt thou serve” Luke 4:8. Notice the words: “HIM ONLY.” Jesus did not say “US only,” or “Him and I only.” How could he possibly i it more clear than that? Jesus told to worship ONLY THE FATHER - who is THE GOD of Jesus too.
Of course the term Father in the Jewish context. It's NOTHING more than a term for endearment NOT that God has a Son. God has got Son by the Ton in the Bible.
@@Truth-Is-a-Hard-Pill Thank you brother. Two years ago l started a bible study course with the catholic church. I'm not catholic, and grew up in a non religious household, but I wanted to learn and the priest is a fantastic teacher. However, I remember my suprise when the priest told the class, that Jesus was both god and human at the same time. My first thought was 'son of god' yes, but a GOD himself? No, that cannot be right. I still feel the same. The gospels, as you have highlighted already, do not support that assumption. The notion of the trinity is deeply flawed. What we are doing now is now better than any other polytheist religion. There is one god, not three, one.
In search of Truth and discovering it in one’s lifetime is a remarkable experience no doubt 👍 May Allah (swt) bless and guide Brother Paul continue to inspire both Muslims and non-Muslims with his exceptional knowledge and wisdom, Amen 🙏
All Humans need to repent & Believe in Jesus. Why? Because all Humans have sinned (lied, lusted sexually, stolen, dishonoured parents etc). Avoid the fires of Hell (justice of God) and choose Heaven today. Jesus defeated death by rising from the dead. GOD IS HOLY
Thank you so much for this insightful piece. Im a Muslim who went to a C 0f E school and even as a child I found the teachings that you found problematic, problematic too. I didnt have much knowledge of Islam or Christianity then but those beliefs just didnt seem right to me too. The Trinity, divine Jesus and that he had to be sacrificed for God to forgive us. I found your piece really interesting with your detailed knowledge.
Assalaam alikum Paul I am so happy for your journey and now you have chosen the straight path .May Allah SWT bless you for the future. I follow the hadiths that you mention at times
Salaam Brother Paul...Choosing Islam is not losing your faith with God but actually it strengthen your basic instinct of finding one true God ...Allah Azzawajallah.
May Allah gives you guidance and thereby you can share more valuable enlightenment with your knowledge in Islam in making quality video.
Thank You Brother . Our faiths started as imposed by parents or institutions when we are young ones...Your style is of reasoning rather thn imposition..This is the best way of engulfing a faith. Paul....through your intelligence and effort continue to show us the way to build our faiths by reasoning then we will choose THE FAITH...You are among the Greats🙏👍

Thank you Paul for your explanation, which has some similarities to my reason on giving up on Christianity. Being raised in a Christian home going to church, Sunday schools and Christian camp in the summers I very much was a active Christian. Doing religious studies in school and planning my life at one point I had very seriously wanted to become a priest. To keep a long story short I too had problems with the new testament as it was inconsistent and contradictive. As a result I found myself heavily relying on the old testament. My main problem was with the divinity given to Jesus. And when you think about GOD Nd his attributes having a son would not be withing his nature. And the old testament GOD repeatedly talks about his oneness. With all this being said the GOD of the old testament vs the divinity of Jesus in the new testament do not add up. Not to mention when I got into the historical aspect of the Bible, that was the icing on the cake for me.
I am always surprized why Christians r not told Jesus christ peace b upon him used to speak Aramaic word God in Aramaic is Alaha/Aloha.
I read the Bible too , Jesus peace be upon him made it crystal clear to worship ONE GOD ONLY and to serve ( Worship ) Him Only , as Allah says
( I Am ) thy Lord , serve thou Me Only ,
No prophet taught the trinity
@@irfana4937 We should emphasize to non-Muslims that Allah is an Arabic/Semitic word that means God. Whenever we use the word Allah we should show it as Allah(God) so that non-Muslims understand Allah means God.
@@adambrownhussein6525 Yes but I am surprized why many Non Muslim people Hate Allah when Jesus Christ himself used to call God Alaha/Aloha. They think Allah is different God
@@adambrownhussein6525 while I am learning more about Islam I have come to realize that Islam speaks true about how GOD is to be worshiped as it completely condems polytheism. As a result the current teaching about the trinity is condemned completly by Islam. Therefore i veiw that many Christians are afraid that when these teachings are made clear their false faith will be abandoned. You have to realize that it is much easier to spread false information and keep people away from the truth by driving fear into them. Which is what many Christians do.
Interesting. I have similar thoughts. Recently I’ve been learning ancient languages because I want to know for myself.
Paul, you deserve much praise for seeking knowledge with an open mind. I believe God has given all human beings the ability to reason and think logically. Unfortunately, many people are closed-minded and interested only in proving themselves right instead of furthering their knowledge and searching for the truth - this is one of the worst characteristics of human beings. Kudos to you for rising above this and becoming enlightened.
Exactly, sooooo true
We Muslim are a true follower of Jesus and Muhammad. If you love Jesus, please embraced Islam. Im looking forward your next next video will touch on why i choosed Islam
"Why i choosed Islam" is too early we need more Christians to learn from Paul's knowledge.
Guidance is a gift from God to the one who is struggling to find Him. It cannot be thrust on to someone. It is a slow process. There is no compulsion in religion. The traveller in search of truth if he is sincere and unbiased will finally stumble upon it as a result of his struggle and his sincerity.

Most particularly - Johns Gospel reflects his (...whoever he is) individual beliefs and agenda 90 years after Jesus, rather than being an accurate/factual account. This is almost universally accepted by biblical scholars. If that is the case, then the very foundation of the belief becomes unstable.

Never worship creatures (Jesus or any )

Jesus Is Not God And Not begotten Son Of God
"People of the Book (Jews and Christians)!, go not beyond the bounds in your religion, and say not as to Allah but the truth. The Messiah, Jesus son of Mary, was only the Messenger of Allah, and His Word that He committed to Mary, and a Spirit from Him. So believe in God and His Messengers, and say not, 'Three.' Refrain; better is it for you. God is only One God. Glory be to Him -- That He should have a son! To Him belongs all that is in the heavens and in the earth.."Quran 4:171
With respect How did mohammad die, be specific?
JazakAllah Khair dear brother. This was truly nice to listen to. The issues you spoke of are without doubt, problematic. One does not need to be Muslim to criticize these issues, as just like you said, Christian scholars and historians know very well that these issues exist. Dr. Jerald Dirks (Rahimahullah), a Harvard Divinity School graduateI and former deacon, learned directly from Christian sources about numerous errors and subsequently left Christianity due to what he found. He accepted Islam Alhamdulilah. His story can also be found online. I noticed that whilst I was Christian, I would direct my questions regarding aspects of historical errors, textual errors and fabrications towards the father of the church I attended, and I was flat out told to just believe and to never ask questions. The stark contrast to Islam that encourages one to ask questions and seek truth.

@Truth Speaker This is not a laughing matter . The Quran is the Creator's last revelation ,through it and the sunnah we know that the gospel of Jesus (pbuh) had been corrupted. Allah loves you and loves me the same, the only thing He'll be sad if we die in a state of sins that's why muslim are happy when they see somebody saved.
Islam is actually quite unique among religions, because people who dare to ask some serious and critical question about the doctrine might often be put to death (or at least imprisoned) as blasphemous heretics.
Jesus said, just before his return, many will turn away from the word of God. We must be getting close, it is happening as we speak. Hang in there, Jesus love's you
Bro its just not right. It amazes me how easy it is for christians to leave their religion without a penalty. In islam u can’t leave because its the truth and penalty for leaving is death but that is solely if you dont repent and choose and insist to leave. But muslims don’t go through such thing because their faith is strong, islam becomes your identity, u live by it and allah guides you. When you pray everything seems to be easy to achive, when You stop praying everything becomes difficult and you start to become depressed. Why do u think depression is kinda non existent in arab countries. It exist but they always recover,
@@lethall6609 Jesus is the only way. Jesus love's you just like he love's all of us. I kind of knew how you all believe.

Have you looked in the topic of the Shroud of Turine and Ron Wyatts finding of the ark of the covenant? If you realize what those are you will know that Jesus is indeed resurrected. That is the only proof and truth of Christianity which is important.
There is much more proof to Jesus resurrection. If you dig deeper and not only the scholar knowledge you will find a good foundation for the christian believe.
Alhamdulillah. I was born into this beautiful faith. To this day, I am extremely grateful that Allah gave me an easier path. I am amazed at converts who used their mind to find Allah, and by His Will they return to the true path. Allah said to human to read and think. And that's exactly what they do. I am unsure if I could have done the same if I were in their position. That's not to say Islam-born Muslims are inherently true to Islam, I too had my moments of going astray. But I think my path is so much easier than the converts. Alhamdulillah, and Allah Guide whom He will. May He guide us all through this temporary life.

Congratulation to you Paul. I wish the wise Christians will also give-up Christianity by reading what the Christian experts ( Bart Erhman etc) said about Jesus and the gospels. Achieving PHD at a university level while believing a man is God , is really something . I firmly believed God has given us a mind to think and reflect. Paul, you have done well, and I wish God the Almighty will guide you to the straight path.. Congrats once again.
Yes, Asu Baba! Instead of Jesus, follow Jebreel who got no witness!
Unlike angel Gabriel who spoke very nicely and decently with Mary, Jebreel jumped on an innocent man and caught him and pressed him severely and commanded him to read!! Poor man is totally scared and pleading Jebreel that he don't know how to read! What did Jebreel do? He pressed him still severely!! Poor man got totally scared and ran for his life! Finally he reached to his wife Khaddeja and ask her to cover her! He was so scared and shivering with fear! The very encounter generated suicidal feelings in him! What God! What an angel Jebreel who could generate suicidal feelings in human by the very first encounter!!
Do you ever behave like that? You meet a stranger first time, immediately without any reason will you jump at him and catch hold of him? Will you press him for no reason? Imagine President Biden's envoy behaves like that to you or anyone else! What could be the international reaction! Just imagine!!
We got a clear expectation from a person of high social status. We don't expect a thung like behavior from such a person! As a person goes up in the ladder, we expect him to be very decent, polished, nice and extremely helpful etc.
What is our expectation about God Almighty's arch angel? Can he behave like a street bully?
You decide!
If you really love truth, spend two minutes verifying things. Bart Erhman is an Atheist. His work denouncing Christianity and the Bible, you can't celebrate as a Muslim because he discounts the Quran as well. You really need to look into things and not just hear what you want to hear.
