Imagine if there was no life after death, what is the essence of the good deeds Ali Banat did? Don't sleep with your two eyes closed when with an atheist. Though they may do good of their own volition, the...

BEINGS BEHIND THE BLACK MASK

Do you know who they are? Those who plant terror in men like yam, Do you know them if you walk behind their hamlets? Those who sow tears in the face of our women, Do you even know their mission on earth? Those who...

Click here for previous session       Similarly, for every verse held as evidence of the Trinity, there is one or more that discredits or disqualifies. Much to the frustration of the Christian world, biblical confirmation of Jesus teaching the Trinity is not just scarce, it is absent. If anything, the opposite is the case. Three times Jesus is recorded as having emphasized the first commandment, saying, “The Lord our God, the Lord is one” (Mark 12:29; Matthew 22:37; and Luke 10:27). In none of these three instances did he even hint at the Trinity. And who has more biblical authority than Jesus? Vain analogies similarly fall apart. The Trinitarian argument that, “God...

The New Catholic Encyclopedia states, “In the Gospels evidence of the Trinity is found explicitly only in the baptismal formula of Mt 28:19.” 137 And what is the baptismal formula of Matthew 28:19? In this verse, Jesus commands his disciples, “Go, therefore, and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.” This being the only gospel verse that explicitly mentions the Father, son and holy spirit together, 138 we should not be surprised to find it echoed in Paul’s teachings—“The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit be with you all”...

WE BELIEVE IN JESUS

 We are presenting this not to placate you out of policy or diplomacy. We are only articulating what our Creator had commanded us in the Qur'an (which is translated as follows):   "Say (O Muslim), "We believe in Allah and...

Click here for previous session       In a chapter entitled “Theologically Motivated Alterations of the Text” in his book, Misquoting Jesus, Professor Ehrman elaborates on the corruption of 1 Timothy 3:16, which was detected not only by Sir Isaac Newton, but also by the eighteenth century scholar, Johann J. Wettstein. In Ehrman’s words, “A later scribe had altered the original reading, so that it no longer read “who” but “God” (made manifest in the flesh). In other words, this later corrector changed the text in such a way as to stress Christ’s divinity…. Our earliest and best manuscripts, however, speak of Christ ‘who’ was made manifest in the flesh, without calling Jesus, explicitly, God.” 145 Ehrman stresses that this corruption is evident in five early Greek manuscripts. All the same it was...

Practical considerations arise. Questions like, “What was Jesus’ religion?” and “If Jesus lived, preached, and completed his ministry faithful to the religious laws of his time, why are those who claim to follow in his name not living by his example?” After all, the Acts of the Apostles documents how strict the practices were among the early followers of Christ. Peter’s avoidance of unclean animals is documented in Acts 10:14, the emphasis...
