All sins are forgiven for those who accept Islam. Qur'an 8:38. Say to those who have disbelieved [that] if they cease, what has previously occurred will be forgiven for them. ‘Amr ibn al-‘As reported: The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Do you not know that embracing Islam wipes away all sins committed before it, that emigration wipes away what came before it, and the Hajj pilgrimage wipes away what came before it?” Sahih Muslim 121
I do not have to say anything about my brother Paul, I have always loved your scholarly work with many Muslim and Christian scholars in your vlogging episodes. But this is the first Time I am seeing Raihan. Masha Allah, you give me hope for Muslims in the western world. In fact, both of you give me hope for us. Keep up the good work young man, loved your humility when you handed over the discussion to Br. Paul so nicely. What an example.... LOVE BOTH of you - Paul and Raihan. May Allah give you both good health, keep you in peace and good financial standing for a very long time Insha Allah so that you can keep this excellent good work going for a looooooong time.
I am a Unitarian. The Muslim man is 100% correct regarding "I am". The Jewish priests wanted to know if Jesus claimed to be the Messiah. Matthew 26: Can you hear the anger in the High Priest's statement? 62So the high priest stood up and asked Him, “Have You no answer? What are these men testifying against You?” 63But Jesus remained silent. Then the high priest said to Him, “I charge You under oath by the living God: Tell us if You are the Christ, the Son of God.”

There is no original sin. Adam and Eve prayed for forgiveness and God forgave them. Qur'an 2:37. Then Adam received from his Lord [some] words, and He accepted his repentance. Indeed, it is He who is the Accepting of repentance, the Merciful. The prayer for forgiveness by Adam and Eve. Qur'an 7:23. “Our Lord, we have wronged ourselves, and if You do not forgive us and have mercy upon us, we will surely be among the losers.”

Qur'an 9:72. Allah has promised the believing men and believing women gardens beneath which rivers flow, wherein they abide eternally, and pleasant dwellings in gardens of perpetual residence; but approval from Allah is greater. It is that which is the great attainment.
World famous author, Leo Tolstoy said: “Muhammad has always been standing higher than the Christianity. He does not consider god as a human being and never makes himself equal to God. Muslims worship nothing except God and Muhammad is his Messenger. There is no any mystery and secret in it. The law of the Qur’an will prevail in the world because it agrees with reason and wisdom. I have come to understand that humanity needs only a Divine law to establish the truth and destroy falsehood. Islamic law will encompass the entire world because it is consistent with reason and agrees with wisdom and justice.”

Christians pagans say Jesus is god. But Jesus prayed to god and said God in Heaven is the only one god who sent Jesus. If Jesus is god then why the hell would he be worshipping God?

Now this is eternal life: that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent.

Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) would speak what God commands him. Both Moses and Jesus knew this.

The Jew distracted Bob for A WHILE who might have interjected and started preaching hate as his reputation proceeds him for doing. BarakAllah. Jews observing should acknowledge the mission of Islam(monotheism), and be ready to engage christians such as this Jew did even if it was not a conscience decision. The way for Jews to bring about Mashykh / Al-Mahdi is by supporting Islam as Rabbi Ben Abrahamson as Rabbi Tovia Singer practices. They can shine a light upon the xtians that left the Haq and started to consume the pork and all of this stuff. It has to be from a place of love, that the Children of Ibrahim A.S despite having separate or distinct sharia’s, that they do not get preoccupied and off point whereby they are allowing for blatant blasphemy and jahaliyat to go on. It must be noted I believe that the Quran tells Jews to observe the sabbath so I would never do Dawah to a Jew or tell them not to keep Sabbath. Those who accept Muhammed SAAWS as a divinely inspired prophet of Allah who are of Jewish ancestry in my opinion must still observe sabbath in some way rather than not. Jummah prayers isn’t a sabbath. You are also free to ignore me entirely.
Prophet Muhammad PBUH is a desendant of Abraham's PBUH son Ismael PBUH. Jews do not accept the lineage of Ismael. They only accept the prophets from the lineage of Isaac PBUH
Those who worship Jesus will be in Hellfire forever. Qur'an 5:72-75. 72. They have certainly disbelieved who say, " Allah is the Messiah, the son of Mary" while the Messiah has said, "O Children of Israel, worship Allah , my Lord and your Lord." Indeed, he who associates others with Allah - Allah has forbidden him Paradise, and his refuge is the Fire. And there are not for the wrongdoers any helpers. 73. They have certainly disbelieved who say, " Allah is the third of three." And there is no god except one God. And if they do not desist from what they are saying, there will surely afflict the disbelievers among them a painful punishment. 74. So will they not repent to Allah and seek His forgiveness? And Allah is Forgiving and Merciful. 75. The Messiah, son of Mary, was not but a messenger; [other] messengers have passed on before him. And his mother was a supporter of truth. They both used to eat food. Look how We make clear to them the signs; then look how they are deluded.
Jesus will testify against the Christians and Catholics on Judgement Day Qur'an 5:116-118. And [beware the Day] when Allah will say, "O Jesus, Son of Mary, did you say to the people, 'Take me and my mother as deities besides Allah ?'" He will say, "Exalted are You! It was not for me to say that to which I have no right. If I had said it, You would have known it. You know what is within myself, and I do not know what is within Yourself. Indeed, it is You who is Knower of the unseen. 117. I said not to them except what You commanded me - to worship Allah , my Lord and your Lord. And I was a witness over them as long as I was among them; but when You took me up, You were the Observer over them, and You are, over all things, Witness. 118. If You should punish them - indeed they are Your servants; but if You forgive them - indeed it is You who is the Exalted in Might, the Wise.
In Islam, Jesus is blessed. Qur'an 19:31. "And He has made me blessed wheresoever I be, and has enjoined on me Prayer and Charity as long as I live; But in Christianity, Jesus is cursed. Anyone who calls Jesus or God's Laws a curse, is from the devil. Galatians 3:13. Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:

John also had the vision of the Ressurected Jesus writing the book of Revelation. That's why he had more of a deeper finished understanding of Jesus Christ. That's why Jesus Christ called John 'The Last Prophet' Destroying Islam before it begun 600 years later. Luke 16:15-17 NKJV [15] And He said to them, “You are those who justify yourselves before men, but God knows your hearts. For what is highly esteemed among men is an abomination in the sight of God. [16] “The law and the prophets were until John. Since that time the kingdom of God has been preached, and everyone is pressing into it. [17] And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away than for one tittle of the law to fail. Light of the World and other Statements are also Prophecies from the Old Testament about the Messiah.
Today, Muslim arguments against the reliability of the message of the Gospels are significantly more advanced than that of the Qur’an. If the Qur’an was written six hundred years after the writing of the Gospels, did Allah not know it was corrupted in 632 AD? How can Muslims living in the 21st century produce a better argument against the Gospels than the author of the Qur’an if the author of the Qur’an is believed to be Allah? This means that Muslims should not reject what the Gospels say about the identity of Jesus.2 Contrary to the claim of Muslims today, there are numerous reasons to believe that the Gospels are reliable and that what we are now reading in them is what the apostles wrote down:
Quran corrects what has gone wrong in the Bible. For example. The New Testament is not the Injeel. Quran made it very clear that Injeel was given to Jesus in the form of revelations as guidance for his own people. Injeel is not the Gospel according to John, Mark, Matthew or Luke. The New Testament narratives are 3rd hand account meaning gotten from hearsay. Hearsay is not reliable. We see many errors, contradictions, inconsistencies, discrepancy in the Bible.

'Ehyeh asher Ehyeh' means 'I am the ever-living?' How do they even come up with this stuff? Also, if Jesus is talking with Aramaic-speaking Jews in John 8:58, he hardly needs to quote the Greek Septuagint's loose translation of Exodus 3:14 to them, does he?
The New Testament is not written in the language of Jesus I.e Aramaic. This is a huge criticism as you know very well the meaning can be lost in translation which is relied on Koine Greek. Secondly, the author of John's Gospel is written in Koine Greek. The Greek word EGO EIMI (I am) is a normal conversation just like the blind man in John 9:9. The translators added the context but did not do so in John 8:58 just to make readers think Jesus claimed Divinity. In the Greek Septuagint Exodus 3:14 - The Greek word used for God's title is HO ON. If the author of John's Gospel intended for Jesus to claim Divinity, the author would use HO ON and not EGO EIMI. The translation does not capture the meaning and intention of word usage.
@@ruddin93 "not written in the language of Jesus I.e Aramaic. This is a huge criticism" Then it's a "*huge* criticism" of the Quran, which regularly quotes Moses, Pharaoh, Noah, Jesus, Abraham etc. all speaking Arabic. "EGO EIMI (I am) is a normal conversation" It can be, just as ehyeh/I am/I will be in Hebrew can be used with a completely mundane meaning (Job 12:4, Ruth 2:13). Even the word 'elohim' can refer to the true God and just to people. Context is everything. "context but did not do so in John 8:58" There's no reason whatsoever to assume the context of John 8:58 entails 'I am the Messiah.' "In the Greek Septuagint... God's title is HO ON... the author would use HO ON and not EGO EIMI" Well, John does use the phrase ho on/'the one existing' to refer to Jesus in John 1:18: monogenes huios *ho on* eis ton kolpon tou Patros/'the only begotten son, *the one existing/being,* in the presence of the Father.' So is John calling Jesus the God of Exodus in John 1:18? But ho on of course doesn't necessitate divinity and is found in reference to things other than God. Also, ego eimi is used as a divine title in the Greek Septuagint: Deuteronomy 32:39 (idete, idete hoti ego eimi/See, see that I am), Isaiah 41:4 (kai eis ta eperkhomena ego eimi/And unto future things, I am). Also, note the contrastive temporal language in John 8:58 occurs in LXX Psalm 89:2 in reference to God, but in the 2nd person: "Before the mountains existed (genethenai), and the earth and the world were formed, even from age to age, You are (Su ei)." Compare with 'Before Abraham existed (genesthai), I am.' And the Septuagint doesn't clarify this issue considering it translates ehyeh in different ways. Immediately before verse 14, in verse 12, it translates *ehyeh* 'imakh/'I am/will be with you' as ego esomai meta sou/'I *will be* with you.' But as you point out, in verse 14 it translates the exact same Hebrew word, ehyeh, in ehyeh asher ehyeh and ehyeh shelakhani aleykhem/'Ehyeh sent me to you,' as "ho on." Note this is also translated into present tense not future tense like ehyeh/esomai in verse 12. But anyway, if Jesus was addressing Aramaic-speaking Jews, he isn't going to use the Septuagint's very idiosyncratic translation of ehyeh/I am/I will be as ho on/'the existing one.' He'd use the Hebrew phrase itself which everyone would know, which is ehyeh/ego eimi/I am, or potentially, ani hu/'I am' (the pronoun hu can act as a copula in Hebrew, as in Arabic) as in Deuteronomy 32:39, and the Gospel writer faithfully relates this usage in John 8:58. The New Testament writers aren't slavishly beholden to the Septuagint at all. Fundamentally, ho on *isn't* the divine name in Exodus 3:14. Ehyeh/Ego Eimi/'I am' is.
@@ruddin93 Also, I should just point out the clear precedent to John 8:58 in the Gospel of John, namely John 1:1-3. Just like in Septuagint psalm 89:2, John 8:58 uses contrastive language of timelessness versus the temporal. Also, this nuance is communicated using different verbs, eimi/'to be' and ginomai/'to become.' prin Abrahaam genesthai, ego eimi 'Before Abraham came to exist, I am' Abraham 'became'/genesthai/ginomai, but Christ 'is'/eimi. In John 1:1, speaking about the Logos, it says: En arche en ho logos, kai ho logos en pros ton theon, kai theos en ho logos 'In the beginning was/en/eimi the Word, and the Word was/en/eimi with God, and the Word was/en/eimi God' This threefold repetition of the verb 'to be'/eimi, applied to the Logos, is contrasted with the threefold repetition of the word ginomai/become, applied to created things, in John 1:3: Panta di autou egeneto, kai khoris autou egeneto oude hen ho gegogen 'All things through him came into existence/egeneto/ginoma, and apart from him came into existence/egeneto nothing which has come into existence/gegonen/ginomai.' So eim+eimi+eimi is applied to the divine Word/Logos, but ginomai+ginomai+ginomai is applied to those things that came into being. And now we can clearly see the actual significance of Christ's I Am saying in John 8:58: Prin Abrahaam genesthai, ego eimi Before Abraham came into being/genesthai/ginomai, I Am/eimi/to be. In other words, Abraham is included among all those created things, as in John 1:3. But Christ on the other hand is spoken about with the same contrastive language as the Logos in John 1, given that he is the Logos incarnate, John 1:14. So John 8:58 alludes to Christ's true nature as the Logos, recalling what is written about the Logos in John 1:1, in contrast to all created things, even Abraham.
@@ConsideringPhlebas Just for the sake of brevity - I'm only going to touch upon each point you made briefly without going into the details: 1. Every Prophet was sent in the language of his people. Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him received the revelation in Arabic. Jesus would have received the revelation in Hebrew/Syriac Aramaic. We don't have the original language of Jesus preserved in the gospels. They are all written in Koine Greek and you know the dangers of translation. 2. John 8:58 needs to be read in context. Just read the sub heading from verse 40 onwards. The Jews were in dispute regarding Jesus. Why would they bother to interrogate him continously if Jesus made himself clear to claim divinity? 3. Regarding your analysis of the Greek and Hebrew usage of terms for I am - you've only proven my point. There is lexical ambiguity over these passages and even read The Jewish Study Bible. The term Ehyeh Asher Ehyeh is disputed. I have the physical copy at home. 1. John 1:1 - There is a theological problem interpreting Logos to be Jesus here. If Jesus as Logos was with The Father and Jesus was God then then logic dictates that makes Jesus The Father too. "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God and the Word was God".
@@ruddin93 " you know the dangers of translation. " Special pleading. The Quran translates his speech, and yet at no point do you believe Jesus's preaching in it is erroneous or misrepresented, even though it's not in his language. "Why would they bother to interrogate him continously if Jesus made himself clear to claim divinity? " The scene in John 8 gradually builds up to the I Am statement in verse 58, reaching its climax there, which is why the episode ends with it, which of course further supports the notion that it is something of profound significance, as does their response to it. "lexical ambiguity" Even words you'd consider "explicit" like Elohim can be ambiguous in and of themselves. Context determines the meaning. And of course, I've made mention of the literary, linguistic and theological context of the I Am saying in John 8:58, so I hope you at least won't accuse me of tossing context aside. "Jesus as Logos was with The Father and Jesus was God then then logic dictates that makes Jesus The Father too. " No it doesn't. When the second clause says 'And the Word was WITH God (the Father)' that of course entails that the Word is not numerically identical to the Father. Just like one can't be 'with' oneself, one IS oneself. This is why St. Thomas Aquinas can write that clause 2 refutes Sabellianism/Modalism, as clause 3 refutes Arianism, and clause 1 refutes Photinus: "The testimony of St. John concerning the Word of God destroys these three heresies, viz., that of Photinus in the words: “In the beginning was the Word;” that of Sabellius in saying: “And the Word was with God;” and that of Arius when it says: “And the Word was God”" -- Aquinas's Commentary on the Apostles' Creed

When they say “Trinity is a mystery”, then you know they are ‘trained and programmed’ to use that as an excuse to not explain it.
Brother Paul sure knows how to pull the tail of the alligator.
Paul Williams himself is an encyclopedia
Paul's knowledge about the gospel is at another level. Christian could not deny what he is telling. Alhamdulillah he is using it to the right path. May Allah keep him steadfast on his Deen. Ameen.
He's interviewing credible scholars regularly, with us benefitting from it.
May Allah SWT preserve him. Ameen
From Christian to a warrior of Allah.wow.May Allah guide you and grant you and your family the highest of jannat brother Paul

Brother Paul, back in the mix
19:10 "He's a bishop in the church you laughed about"
"I'm sorry I'm being naughty" Paul is hilarous loll
I would have loved to have seen more of this convo
Wow, amazing discourse.
All sins are forgiven for those who accept Islam.
Qur'an 8:38. Say to those who have disbelieved [that] if they cease, what has previously occurred will be forgiven for them.
‘Amr ibn al-‘As reported: The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Do you not know that embracing Islam wipes away all sins committed before it, that emigration wipes away what came before it, and the Hajj pilgrimage wipes away what came before it?”

Paul is knowledgeable and humble. Alhamdulillah. Keep at it.

Ask 500 Christians about the Trinity and you will get 500 different explanations
Probably more than that cos some might have few definitions
Bro. direct approach with supporting evidence is awesome ☝️
I do not have to say anything about my brother Paul, I have always loved your scholarly work with many Muslim and Christian scholars in your vlogging episodes. But this is the first Time I am seeing Raihan. Masha Allah, you give me hope for Muslims in the western world. In fact, both of you give me hope for us. Keep up the good work young man, loved your humility when you handed over the discussion to Br. Paul so nicely. What an example.... LOVE BOTH of you - Paul and Raihan. May Allah give you both good health, keep you in peace and good financial standing for a very long time Insha Allah so that you can keep this excellent good work going for a looooooong time.
I am a Unitarian. The Muslim man is 100% correct regarding "I am". The Jewish priests wanted to know if Jesus claimed to be the Messiah. Matthew 26: Can you hear the anger in the High Priest's statement? 62So the high priest stood up and asked Him, “Have You no answer? What are these men testifying against You?” 63But Jesus remained silent. Then the high priest said to Him, “I charge You under oath by the living God: Tell us if You are the Christ, the Son of God.”
How the Unitarian sees Jesus? Is he the literal son of God or a Prophet or something else?
@@DePeaceHunter He is 100% Human. He is the Messiah. A man ELEVATED by YHWH ...above everyone else but YHWH Himself. Above Moses...above Mohammad...above the angels. He is the King of YHWH's new Kingdom.

@@abraarhussain786 Matt 20: 20 The mother of Zebedee’s children (James and John) came to Jesus with her sons. She got down on her knees before Jesus to ask something of Him. 21 He said to her, “What do you want?” She said, “Say that my two sons may sit, one at Your right side and one at Your left side, when You are King.” 22 Jesus said to her, “You do not know what you are asking. Are you able to take the suffering that I am about to take? (*Are you able to be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with?)” They said, “Yes, we are able.” 23 He said to them, “You will suffer as I will suffer. But the places at My right side and at My left side are not Mine to give. Whoever My Father says will have those places.”

Brother Paul is back?
😮
Chris at the end was trying to get a word in but the conversation was too intellectual for him to get involved in with his dumb discussion points
Brother Paul daqwah style is superb. No shouting n angry like the usuals
Muslims are better followers of Jesus then christans today, Todays christans follow Paul's gospel. Facts
Rubbish
Excuse me, We Christians don't believe your Jesus. And I don't care your Jesus. Because the Quran is the OPPOSITE of the Bible.
There is no original sin. Adam and Eve prayed for forgiveness and God forgave them.
Qur'an 2:37. Then Adam received from his Lord [some] words, and He accepted his repentance. Indeed, it is He who is the Accepting of repentance, the Merciful.
The prayer for forgiveness by Adam and Eve.
Qur'an 7:23. “Our Lord, we have wronged ourselves, and if You do not forgive us and have mercy upon us, we will surely be among the losers.”
I wish there would be more content of Brother Paul at Speakers corner, he has such a calm and collected, yet somehow assertive way of debating. Coupled with his knowledge and wisdom its really impressive to see how he makes his points. Mashallah!
Excellent job brother the easy way to convince non-Muslims brother please recommend to everyone to watch videos of Dr Zakir Naik sir similarities between Islam and Christianity Islam and rest religions you are doing well but the same explanation Naik sir will give it in the best way please brothers of speaker corner highlight our Umma present best student of knowledge Dr Zakir Naik sir

I love this as a conversation "listening" to each other and not diverting, using dirty deviations tactics.
Trinity is ancient paganism.
Egyptian Trinity
Father Osiris, mother Isis and son Horus
Hindu Trinity
Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva
Christian Trinity
Father, son Jesus and Holy Spirit
"If Paganism was conquered by Christianity, it is equally true that Christianity was corrupted by Paganism. The pure Deism of the first Christians . . . was changed, by the Church of Rome, into the incomprehensible dogma of the trinity. Many of the pagan tenets, invented by the Egyptians and idealized by Plato, were retained as being worthy of belief."

Why do you have such harsh titles for your videos? This Christian man is courteous and decent in his discussions. Muslims are required to be kind, truthful and respectful when doing Dawah. Ask a learned Iman about this, if you don't understand.
I agree with all these clickbait titles. I really don’t like. Mostly stuff like ‘destroys… ‘humiliate… when in fact they are quite respectful discussion.
AB. Courteous n decent lol arguing with false information and can’t explain anything lol, instead of saying decent say ignorance arguing with out the fact
indeed, this title is a disgrace

Lovely conversation between two people. Kindly change the title. As mentioned previously we should be courteous and humble.

i look around the meaning "i am" in the Bible. Bc they always told us that verse is about Jesus claimed himself as a God. This is great answer

World famous author, Leo Tolstoy said:
“Muhammad has always been standing higher than the Christianity. He does not consider god as a human being and never makes himself equal to God. Muslims worship nothing except God and Muhammad is his Messenger. There is no any mystery and secret in it. The law of the Qur’an will prevail in the world because it agrees with reason and wisdom. I have come to understand that humanity needs only a Divine law to establish the truth and destroy falsehood. Islamic law will encompass the entire world because it is consistent with reason and agrees with wisdom and justice.”

O My servant, if you meet Me with enough sins to fill the earth, I will meet you with as much forgiveness as long as You do not associate anything with Me.”

‘Ubadah ibn al-Samit reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Whoever testifies that there is no God but Allah alone without any partners, that Muhammad is His servant and His messenger, that Jesus is the servant of Allah and His messenger, His word which He bestowed upon Mary and a spirit from Him, and that Paradise is the truth and Hellfire is the truth, then Allah will admit him into Paradise by whatever good deeds he had done.”

Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) would speak what God commands him. Both Moses and Jesus knew this.
Deuteronomy 18:18. and will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him.
John 16:13. for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.
No Christian can debunk these claims.
The Jew distracted Bob for A WHILE who might have interjected and started preaching hate as his reputation proceeds him for doing. BarakAllah. Jews observing should acknowledge the mission of Islam(monotheism), and be ready to engage christians such as this Jew did even if it was not a conscience decision. The way for Jews to bring about Mashykh / Al-Mahdi is by supporting Islam as Rabbi Ben Abrahamson as Rabbi Tovia Singer practices. They can shine a light upon the xtians that left the Haq and started to consume the pork and all of this stuff. It has to be from a place of love, that the Children of Ibrahim A.S despite having separate or distinct sharia’s, that they do not get preoccupied and off point whereby they are allowing for blatant blasphemy and jahaliyat to go on. It must be noted I believe that the Quran tells Jews to observe the sabbath so I would never do Dawah to a Jew or tell them not to keep Sabbath. Those who accept Muhammed SAAWS as a divinely inspired prophet of Allah who are of Jewish ancestry in my opinion must still observe sabbath in some way rather than not. Jummah prayers isn’t a sabbath. You are also free to ignore me entirely.
Prophet Muhammad PBUH is a desendant of Abraham's PBUH son Ismael PBUH. Jews do not accept the lineage of Ismael. They only accept the prophets from the lineage of Isaac PBUH
Those who worship Jesus will be in Hellfire forever.
Qur'an 5:72-75. 72. They have certainly disbelieved who say, " Allah is the Messiah, the son of Mary" while the Messiah has said, "O Children of Israel, worship Allah , my Lord and your Lord." Indeed, he who associates others with Allah - Allah has forbidden him Paradise, and his refuge is the Fire. And there are not for the wrongdoers any helpers.
73. They have certainly disbelieved who say, " Allah is the third of three." And there is no god except one God. And if they do not desist from what they are saying, there will surely afflict the disbelievers among them a painful punishment.
74. So will they not repent to Allah and seek His forgiveness? And Allah is Forgiving and Merciful.
75. The Messiah, son of Mary, was not but a messenger; [other] messengers have passed on before him. And his mother was a supporter of truth. They both used to eat food. Look how We make clear to them the signs; then look how they are deluded.

It was not for me to say that to which I have no right. If I had said it, You would have known it. You know what is within myself, and I do not know what is within Yourself. Indeed, it is You who is Knower of the unseen.
117. I said not to them except what You commanded me - to worship Allah , my Lord and your Lord. And I was a witness over them as long as I was among them; but when You took me up, You were the Observer over them, and You are, over all things, Witness.
118. If You should punish them - indeed they are Your servants; but if You forgive them - indeed it is You who is the Exalted in Might, the Wise.

Why Muslim have better knowledge about the Bible
In Islam, Jesus is blessed.
Qur'an 19:31. "And He has made me blessed wheresoever I be, and has enjoined on me Prayer and Charity as long as I live;
But in Christianity, Jesus is cursed. Anyone who calls Jesus or God's Laws a curse, is from the devil.
Galatians 3:13. Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:
Raihan Raihan, you seem to believe all that you are speaking your opinion about Jesus, I am very curious to see you debating against Sam Shamoun on your knowledge about the New Testament and what Jesus says and means according to your understanding, as I watch this very video on RUclips, I see you always smiling every time you are telling Paul what Jesus said and mean, you seem very convinced of yourself, it would be very interesting to watch you vs Sam Shamoun about Jisus sayings and the bible in general. Let me know by leaving a message here in response to my message. Thank you
meanwhile in holy book of islam,
Narrated `Aisha:
An Ansari woman asked the Prophet (ﷺ) how to take a bath after finishing from the menses. He replied, "Take a piece a cloth perfumed with musk and clean the private parts with it thrice." The Prophet (ﷺ) felt shy and turned his face. So I pulled her to me and told her what the Prophet (ﷺ) meant.

John also had the vision of the Ressurected Jesus writing the book of Revelation.
That's why he had more of a deeper finished understanding of Jesus Christ.
That's why Jesus Christ called John 'The Last Prophet' Destroying Islam before it begun 600 years later.
Luke 16:15-17 NKJV
[15] And He said to them, “You are those who justify yourselves before men, but God knows your hearts. For what is highly esteemed among men is an abomination in the sight of God. [16] “The law and the prophets were until John. Since that time the kingdom of God has been preached, and everyone is pressing into it. [17] And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away than for one tittle of the law to fail.
Light of the World and other Statements are also Prophecies from the Old Testament about the Messiah.
Today, Muslim arguments against the reliability of the message of the Gospels are significantly more advanced than that of the Qur’an. If the Qur’an was written six hundred years after the writing of the Gospels, did Allah not know it was corrupted in 632 AD? How can Muslims living in the 21st century produce a better argument against the Gospels than the author of the Qur’an if the author of the Qur’an is believed to be Allah? This means that Muslims should not reject what the Gospels say about the identity of Jesus.2 Contrary to the claim of Muslims today, there are numerous reasons to believe that the Gospels are reliable and that what we are now reading in them is what the apostles wrote down:
Quran corrects what has gone wrong in the Bible.
For example. The New Testament is not the Injeel.
Quran made it very clear that Injeel was given to Jesus in the form of revelations as guidance for his own people.
Injeel is not the Gospel according to John, Mark, Matthew or Luke.
The New Testament narratives are 3rd hand account meaning gotten from hearsay.
Hearsay is not reliable.
We see many errors, contradictions, inconsistencies, discrepancy in the Bible.

'Ehyeh asher Ehyeh' means 'I am the ever-living?' How do they even come up with this stuff?
Also, if Jesus is talking with Aramaic-speaking Jews in John 8:58, he hardly needs to quote the Greek Septuagint's loose translation of Exodus 3:14 to them, does he?
The New Testament is not written in the language of Jesus I.e Aramaic. This is a huge criticism as you know very well the meaning can be lost in translation which is relied on Koine Greek.
Secondly, the author of John's Gospel is written in Koine Greek. The Greek word EGO EIMI (I am) is a normal conversation just like the blind man in John 9:9. The translators added the context but did not do so in John 8:58 just to make readers think Jesus claimed Divinity.
In the Greek Septuagint Exodus 3:14 - The Greek word used for God's title is HO ON. If the author of John's Gospel intended for Jesus to claim Divinity, the author would use HO ON and not EGO EIMI. The translation does not capture the meaning and intention of word usage.
@@ruddin93
"not written in the language of Jesus I.e Aramaic. This is a huge criticism"
Then it's a "*huge* criticism" of the Quran, which regularly quotes Moses, Pharaoh, Noah, Jesus, Abraham etc. all speaking Arabic.
"EGO EIMI (I am) is a normal conversation"
It can be, just as ehyeh/I am/I will be in Hebrew can be used with a completely mundane meaning (Job 12:4, Ruth 2:13). Even the word 'elohim' can refer to the true God and just to people. Context is everything.
"context but did not do so in John 8:58"
There's no reason whatsoever to assume the context of John 8:58 entails 'I am the Messiah.'
"In the Greek Septuagint... God's title is HO ON... the author would use HO ON and not EGO EIMI"
Well, John does use the phrase ho on/'the one existing' to refer to Jesus in John 1:18: monogenes huios *ho on* eis ton kolpon tou Patros/'the only begotten son, *the one existing/being,* in the presence of the Father.' So is John calling Jesus the God of Exodus in John 1:18? But ho on of course doesn't necessitate divinity and is found in reference to things other than God.
Also, ego eimi is used as a divine title in the Greek Septuagint: Deuteronomy 32:39 (idete, idete hoti ego eimi/See, see that I am), Isaiah 41:4 (kai eis ta eperkhomena ego eimi/And unto future things, I am). Also, note the contrastive temporal language in John 8:58 occurs in LXX Psalm 89:2 in reference to God, but in the 2nd person: "Before the mountains existed (genethenai), and the earth and the world were formed, even from age to age, You are (Su ei)." Compare with 'Before Abraham existed (genesthai), I am.'
And the Septuagint doesn't clarify this issue considering it translates ehyeh in different ways. Immediately before verse 14, in verse 12, it translates *ehyeh* 'imakh/'I am/will be with you' as ego esomai meta sou/'I *will be* with you.'
But as you point out, in verse 14 it translates the exact same Hebrew word, ehyeh, in ehyeh asher ehyeh and ehyeh shelakhani aleykhem/'Ehyeh sent me to you,' as "ho on." Note this is also translated into present tense not future tense like ehyeh/esomai in verse 12.
But anyway, if Jesus was addressing Aramaic-speaking Jews, he isn't going to use the Septuagint's very idiosyncratic translation of ehyeh/I am/I will be as ho on/'the existing one.' He'd use the Hebrew phrase itself which everyone would know, which is ehyeh/ego eimi/I am, or potentially, ani hu/'I am' (the pronoun hu can act as a copula in Hebrew, as in Arabic) as in Deuteronomy 32:39, and the Gospel writer faithfully relates this usage in John 8:58. The New Testament writers aren't slavishly beholden to the Septuagint at all. Fundamentally, ho on *isn't* the divine name in Exodus 3:14. Ehyeh/Ego Eimi/'I am' is.
@@ruddin93
Also, I should just point out the clear precedent to John 8:58 in the Gospel of John, namely John 1:1-3.
Just like in Septuagint psalm 89:2, John 8:58 uses contrastive language of timelessness versus the temporal. Also, this nuance is communicated using different verbs, eimi/'to be' and ginomai/'to become.'
prin Abrahaam genesthai, ego eimi
'Before Abraham came to exist, I am'
Abraham 'became'/genesthai/ginomai, but Christ 'is'/eimi.
In John 1:1, speaking about the Logos, it says:
En arche en ho logos, kai ho logos en pros ton theon, kai theos en ho logos
'In the beginning was/en/eimi the Word, and the Word was/en/eimi with God, and the Word was/en/eimi God'
This threefold repetition of the verb 'to be'/eimi, applied to the Logos, is contrasted with the threefold repetition of the word ginomai/become, applied to created things, in John 1:3:
Panta di autou egeneto, kai khoris autou egeneto oude hen ho gegogen
'All things through him came into existence/egeneto/ginoma, and apart from him came into existence/egeneto nothing which has come into existence/gegonen/ginomai.'
So eim+eimi+eimi is applied to the divine Word/Logos, but ginomai+ginomai+ginomai is applied to those things that came into being. And now we can clearly see the actual significance of Christ's I Am saying in John 8:58:
Prin Abrahaam genesthai, ego eimi
Before Abraham came into being/genesthai/ginomai, I Am/eimi/to be.
In other words, Abraham is included among all those created things, as in John 1:3. But Christ on the other hand is spoken about with the same contrastive language as the Logos in John 1, given that he is the Logos incarnate, John 1:14. So John 8:58 alludes to Christ's true nature as the Logos, recalling what is written about the Logos in John 1:1, in contrast to all created things, even Abraham.
@@ConsideringPhlebas Just for the sake of brevity - I'm only going to touch upon each point you made briefly without going into the details:
1. Every Prophet was sent in the language of his people. Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him received the revelation in Arabic. Jesus would have received the revelation in Hebrew/Syriac Aramaic. We don't have the original language of Jesus preserved in the gospels. They are all written in Koine Greek and you know the dangers of translation.
2. John 8:58 needs to be read in context. Just read the sub heading from verse 40 onwards. The Jews were in dispute regarding Jesus. Why would they bother to interrogate him continously if Jesus made himself clear to claim divinity?
3. Regarding your analysis of the Greek and Hebrew usage of terms for I am - you've only proven my point. There is lexical ambiguity over these passages and even read The Jewish Study Bible. The term Ehyeh Asher Ehyeh is disputed. I have the physical copy at home.
1. John 1:1 - There is a theological problem interpreting Logos to be Jesus here. If Jesus as Logos was with The Father and Jesus was God then then logic dictates that makes Jesus The Father too.
"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God and the Word was God".

" you know the dangers of translation. "
Special pleading. The Quran translates his speech, and yet at no point do you believe Jesus's preaching in it is erroneous or misrepresented, even though it's not in his language.
"Why would they bother to interrogate him continously if Jesus made himself clear to claim divinity? "
The scene in John 8 gradually builds up to the I Am statement in verse 58, reaching its climax there, which is why the episode ends with it, which of course further supports the notion that it is something of profound significance, as does their response to it.
"lexical ambiguity"
Even words you'd consider "explicit" like Elohim can be ambiguous in and of themselves. Context determines the meaning. And of course, I've made mention of the literary, linguistic and theological context of the I Am saying in John 8:58, so I hope you at least won't accuse me of tossing context aside.
"Jesus as Logos was with The Father and Jesus was God then then logic dictates that makes Jesus The Father too. "
No it doesn't. When the second clause says 'And the Word was WITH God (the Father)' that of course entails that the Word is not numerically identical to the Father. Just like one can't be 'with' oneself, one IS oneself. This is why St. Thomas Aquinas can write that clause 2 refutes Sabellianism/Modalism, as clause 3 refutes Arianism, and clause 1 refutes Photinus:
"The testimony of St. John concerning the Word of God destroys these three heresies, viz., that of Photinus in the words: “In the beginning was the Word;” that of Sabellius in saying: “And the Word was with God;” and that of Arius when it says: “And the Word was God”" -- Aquinas's Commentary on the Apostles' Creed
Jesus Aramaic Name is Yashua meaning YaHWeH is Salvation.
- it revert to YaHWeH- Gods Name in the burning bush in exodus 3:15 to Mosas.
- what proof / witness does Islam deliver that Jesus was replaced at the cross ???
We Muslims and Jews don't believe god came out of vagina of a woman. We also don't believe in human sacrifice.
NOT ONE OF THEM IN THE CROWD GOD GIVING THE UNDERSTANDING BUT THE ONE TRUE ONE WHO GENERALLY AND TRUE', ONLY WANTS JESUS TO BE THE TRUTH THAT GOD REALLY CHOSE THERE TO SHOW HE ARE SHE THE TRUTH. JESUS SAID I AM HE', I AM THAT I AM, HE IS GOD ETERNAL; NO MAN CANT GO AROUND THAT UNLESS THEY WANT TO GO IN CURCLES. THIS PAUL DONT KNOW ANYTHING HE SPEAKS RUBBISH AT ALL TIMES HIS WORDS ARE WIND THAT BLOWN WITHOUT AIR " AND STAND AT NO PLACE.
Rihaan twisting scripture again (without lies islam dies),when the blind man says i am jews did nothing but when Jesus says I AM they picked up stones tp stone Him cause they knew axactly that He was claiming to be God not only in one verse but few other verses as well!!
But don't Muslims eat shellfish????????????????Isn't that just as forbidden as Pork?
No it's not. Where do you get your information?
Do you just assume things?
I dont know about shell fish
But our laws is different from judism laws
Quran talk about how jews prohibited things on themself without god command because israel forbade some things because of his ilness
@@manofwar2354 Leviticus 11:9-12 - Of all the creatures living in the water of the seas and the streams, you may eat any that have fins and scales. But all creatures in the seas or streams that do not have fins and scales - whether among all the swarming things or among all the other living creatures in the water - you are to detest.
@@stevendubberly8106 like what i said muslim have their own laws
Jews laws were changed like by them since their book was rewritten and corrupted
They see some alcohol as kosher
While islam totally forbide it
Camel is halal in islam in judism no
This was answered in quran that jews seen israel the prophet forbade things and follow it
Some muslim schools dont eat shellfish
@@manofwar2354 Well there you have it...there must be some reason why some Muslim schools don't eat shellfish. Leviticus !! 4But these you shall not eat among those that bring up the cud and those that have a cloven hoof: the camel, because it brings up its cud, but does not have a [completely] cloven hoof; it is unclean for you.
