I'm a Christian and I disagree with many of the teachings of Islam when it comes to the identity of Jesus and how do we become acceptable to God. In otherwise - the very heart of the Gospel. Unfortunately, I think that Shabir Alley did a better job arguing in favor of Koran and and against the Bible than Dave Hunt did arguing for the Bible and against the Koran. Shabir Alley was able to win this debate. Thankfully, winning a debate doesn't make you right...just the winner. I disagreed with Alley's attempt to paint the Bible as violent and chauvinistic without proving that the Koran isn't. Alley didn't have to really because Hunt did not challenge him enough.

Islam vs Christianity - Debate - Shabir Alley vs Dave Hunt

Walter Martin and Seventh-Day Adventist
I admire the work that Walter Martin did while he was alive and active. One of the things that I admire about him is that he was constantly learning and if he found out he thought something that was not true, he publicly changed his position. Some people are too proud to admit when they are wrong. He wasn't. A case in point is that once upon a time, he thought that the Seventh-Day Adventist Church was a cult, but after much dialog and changes to the Seventh-Day Adventist Church, he changed his opinion. My Pastor found the following Debate on YouTube.
This was great! It really shows how we must be careful to allow scripture alone to be boss when it comes to judging matters of faith and practice.
