Answering Muslims: The Preservation of the Bible and Qur'an - Debate

This was good debate. I think everyone should find out what they believe and be able to explain why they believe it. This is a good way to weigh the claims of Christianity against the claims of Islam. These claims are dependent on the reliability of the the Bible  versus the claims of the Qur'an.

Answering Muslims: Zakir Naik Proves That Allah Is a Mouse! (Based on Song of Solomon 5:16)

David Wood and Sam Shamoun continue responding to the "arguments" of Zakir Naik  with humor and logic. This video shows what happens when you try to apply Naik's hermeneutic is showing that Muhammad is the subject of Song of Solomon 5:16 to other places in the Bible. It doesn't work in Song of Solomon 5:16 or anywhere else.

Answering Muslims: Jesus Owns Muhammad

David Wood has posted an insightful and provocative video and comments about how the Quran tells us to judge the Gospels and follow it. He wrote:

According to the Qur'an, Christians must judge by the Gospel (Qur'an 5:47). But the Gospel says that Jesus owns everything (Matthew 11:27; John 16:15). Since Jesus owns everything, he also owns Muhammad. If Muslims don't want us to conclude that Jesus owns Muhammad, they have to tell us not to judge by the Gospel. But why would Muslims contradict Allah? 

 Keep in mind that Jesus owns everything and everyone!

Answering Muslims: UK Muslims Challenge Law against Marrying Child Brides

David Wood posted the following video regarding protests in Britain to allow grown men marry children! He wrote:

Muhammad had sex with Aisha before she reached puberty, when she was only nine years old. The Qur'an allows men to have sex with prepubescent girls. Not surprisingly, many Muslims are dissatisfied with Western laws that protect young girls.

I know what you are thinking: Surly not any breathing and sane person would think it's okay to marry prepubescent girls! well watch the video David points to:





And then read the video description:

Muslim men cannot even kiss their own wives in public without invoking hostility from the law. That is, if they are even allowed to bring their own wives with them into the country, and the UK government recognises their marriage. The British government would have us believe that a child's consent doesn't matter, and presumes to intervene in private acts within marriages rightfully bestowed on couples by Allah himself.

So why not define "marriage" the way these particular Muslims think it should be defined, while we are at redefining "marriage" anyway? Deep down we all know why we should not.

FacePalm of the Day #102 - Islam and Christianity A Common Word: Orthodox Christians Beating The Holy Hell Out of Each Other!

thegrandverbalizer has written a post containing videos of Christians fighting one another. He attempts to make the application that Islam is better because Muslims are peaceful.

So what actually happens when you run out of cheeks? These Christians show the world the power that Christ wrought effectual in them by beating the holy crap out of one another in Jerusalem.

These Muslims show the world the power that Christ wrought effectual in them by beating the holy crap out of one another in America!

So don't let anyone fool you that Muslims are the trouble makers! Watch for yourself as Muslims beat the living day lights out of one another.

"Do not think that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword instead!" (Matthew 10:34)

Qur'an 4:34—Men are in charge of women, because Allah hath made the one of them to excel the other, and because they spend of their property (for the support of women). So good women are the obedient, guarding in secret that which Allah hath guarded. As for those from whom ye fear rebellion, admonish them and banish them to beds apart, and scourge them. Then if they obey you, seek not a way against them. Lo! Allah is ever High, Exalted, Great.

THE GREEK SIDE OF THE STORY AND THE ARMENIAN SIDE OF THE STORY.







THE GOALS OF SOME MUSLIME.

My Point

In case the point has not been made clear. My argument is that people are sinner and do all kinds of evil! You, me, and everyone you know is guilty of some sin. It doesn't matter if you claim to be a Christian, Muslim, or anything else - you have the propensity to sin. What do you do about that? How do you curtail it? How do you atone for it? You can't. FacePalm worthy arguments are not going to cut it. Only Jesus can do it for you and through you. If you want to be free from your sin - it will only be by Jesus. When Christians are behaving badly (sin) it is no more the fault of Christianity than it is the fault of Islam when Muslims do the same (sin).

Beggars All: Reformation And Apologetics: Submit or Die! Early Islamic Da'wa

This is an interesting  article. This post has a clip from Iran in Farsi. She is talking about the

Letter of Omar, the second Khalif of Sunni Islam, to Yazdegird III, the Shah (King of Persia)

The post translates what the woman in the clip says:

It is interesting how in history that the name of Allah is again proclaimed and spread. This historical document of the letter of Omar, the second Khalif of the Muslims, to Yazdegird III, the Sassanian King of Persia, and then the letter of Yazdegird back to Omar, after the battle of Qadesiyeh and before the battle of Nahavand, that took place over a period of about four months.

The video gives the letters. This post not only translates the video so you can understand what she is saying but we get historical insight into how Islam spread into Iran. We also gain an understanding of why Omar, the second Khalif of Sunni Islam, is so disliked in Iran. This is a great post!

Using the Qur'an in Witnessing to Muslims

Using the Qur'an in Witnessing to Muslims

Answering Muslims: Fifteen-Year-Old Hena Begum Dies after Receiving 100 Lashes

David Wood has posted an article that troubles me. Apparently a 15 year-old girl was sentenced to receive 100 lashes for having sex with her married cousin. First...Ew! Second, I thin that people who believe with the Bible must agree with the Qur'an as far as extra-marital church being a sin, however Christians do not agree with the punishment of adultery and fornication. The Qur'an is quoted in the article:

Qur'an 24:2—(As for) the fornicatress and the fornicator, flog each of them, (giving) a hundred stripes, and let not pity for them detain you in the matter of obedience to Allah, if you believe in Allah and the last day, and let a party of believers witness their chastisement.

Yes, it is similar to the laws given to us through Moses

“‘If a man commits adultery with another man’s wife—with the wife of his neighbor—both the adulterer and the adulteress are to be put to death. - Leviticus 20:10

I think it's important to point something out about both texts. Even if you disagree that extra-marital sex should be punished this severely you must also recognize that both participants - men and women should bear responsibility. Not just the woman. There is a lot of information missing in Hena Begum's case. Was she raped? From what I can tell about the part of the world, it wold not have mattered if she was raped or wanted it. Another source says she was raped by her cousin who is 40 years old. Was her cousin also given the same penalty of 100 lashes? I don't think that she deserved what happened to her. Nor do I think that she deserved to die even if she chose to be in the act freely. The thing I want to call attention to is that adultery and fornication are wrong because of how it damages the people who engage in it. God prohibited sex outside of marriage because it is better for us not because he doesn't want us to enjoy sex. It was illegal according to both the Qur'an and the Books of Moses to punish adultery only by punishing the woman. This is why Jesus did not condemn the woman who was brought to him who was caught in adultery. The religious leaders who brought her was only interested in trapping Jesus into either breaking the Law or stoning her. He turned the tables and although he didn't condemn her, Jesus told her to sin no more. This is what Jesus came for and we are all like that woman. We deserve to be stoned and to die in our sins, but Jesus came that we can live - not that we can keep sinning.

² At dawn he appeared again in the temple courts, where all the people gathered around him, and he sat down to teach them. ³ The teachers of the law and the Pharisees brought in a woman caught in adultery. They made her stand before the group ⁴ and said to Jesus, “Teacher, this woman was caught in the act of adultery. ⁵ In the Law Moses commanded us to stone such women. Now what do you say?” ⁶ They were using this question as a trap, in order to have a basis for accusing him.
But Jesus bent down and started to write on the ground with his finger. ⁷ When they kept on questioning him, he straightened up and said to them, “Let any one of you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone at her.” ⁸ Again he stooped down and wrote on the ground.
⁹ At this, those who heard began to go away one at a time, the older ones first, until only Jesus was left, with the woman still standing there. ¹⁰ Jesus straightened up and asked her, “Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?”
¹¹ “No one, sir,” she said.
“Then neither do I condemn you,” Jesus declared. “Go now and leave your life of sin.” - John 8:2-11

I think this is the best was of dealing with such situations. Love the sinner and shun the sin - not ignoring it.

Answering Muslims: WomanForTruth101 on "Laughable Reinterpretations" of the Qur'an

David Wood posted a response to a person called WomanForTruth1o1. I think David Wood responded very well and it's worth reading and comparing how he consistently treats the Qur'an and the gymnastics Muslims must go through to get around what the Qur'an clearly says to reconcile the Qur'an to what they know is reality - especially when it comes to how one should live today. I think what Wood wrote at the end of the article is worth quoting:

On a different note, if WomenForTruth101 is correct, I don't see how she can call people to Islam. If the Qur'an frequently means the exact opposite of what it says, then perhaps when it commands people to reject the Deity of Christ, it actually means that they should accept the Deity of Christ. Maybe when the Qur'an says that Jesus didn't die, it actually means that he did die. When the Qur'an denies the Trinity, it could be affirming the Trinity. Once Muslims have destroyed the clear meaning of the Qur'an, aren't all interpretations equal?

Answering Muslims: Adulterous Sexual Relations Sanctioned by Islam

On the Answering Muslims blog there is a short article posted by Dr. A. A. Ahmed which addresses the five kinds of marriages that historical Islam recognizes as allowed by Allah. I find the list troubling because only the first one is endorsed as perfectly good as well as commanded (not for everyone) in the Bible. The second one including polygamy is not endorsed nor condemned in the Bible except for leaders in the Christian Church. Polygamy was allowed in the times the Bible was written but I see no reason to continue it today. As for the other forms I notice that many women even in this day and age settle for these relationships when they could have so much better - one man who will love and care for her as Christ loves the Church. This is what God truly desires for women to have in their marriages...not temporary relationships that only benefit a man, nor having to share him with other women.
