  4. How can the Bible be more trust worthy when it has two completely different lines of geneology of Joseph to Abraham in the gospels as well as having different contradictory stories of events as well as there being absolutely no evidence of a worldwide flood and remnants of what would be the arc on the mountain that the Quran says and not the Bible. In addition to small historical inaccuracies like Joseph using the term pharaoh at a time when pharaohs were called kings at the time of Joseph like the Quran says. How can the Bible be more trust worthy when the Quran tells us the universe is expanding something physicists got Nobel peace prizes for in the 1990s as well as knowing the entire birth process all the way down to the cellular level which a man who couldn’t read or write somehow knew in 600ad? I could go on and on. But if the Bible is truly Gods word, then he tells entirely different history in his own books that are impossible to ignore

  5. Not good arguments in my opinion. I can't get over the fact he said there are eye witness accounts written in the bible. That statement is just either a genuine mistake, ignorance or a lie. I think it would be Amazing if they got islamic students not even scholars who can answer his claims is plagiarism. Would be an interesting take.

  10. The problem here is how can you PROVE that your bible is reliable in the first place. You say Quran has contradicting statements from the bible, thinking the bible is the holy grail of perfect preservation.

    If the bible was that perfect, the quran wouldn't really get revealed because it would have been pointless.

    You say that the verses that the quran quotes are written 100 years after Jesus was born. Literally any book in the bible is written around 100 years after Jesus.

    John was written in 90AD

    Matthew was written in 90AD

    Luke 85AD

    Mark 70AD

    Literally you don't have a book that was written during the time Jesus was alive or the next year he died, so good job lol. You proved how the whole bible is unreliable.

    The quran was written the moment Muhammad got revelation, and muslims memorised it there and then. Now tell me, which is more trustworthy?

  12. Name me scribe of Gospels. The study bible book of Hebrews says the Author is anonymous and many more. So we are believing in a book by anonymous Pretty trustworthy I see. Good luck. And good luck with contradictions of Protestant, Mormon and Catholic bible. Whereas in Quran, every letter and word even a dot would be the same as it was 1400 years ago.

  13. Hi – can you list the sources that show the claims about the Jewish Rabbi's commentary on Genesis 4 (books or articles)? And are there resources that spell out why the Gospel of Thomas and Infancy Gospel of Jesus Christ are false teachings and not valid? I'm trying to show a Muslim friend I care deeply about the gospel and point out some holes in the Qu'ran's history, but I already know he'll respond by asking for references by academic sources. Thanks for your videos btw!

  15. I don't think the bible is trustworthy . Are the following god words
    1.Numbers 31:17-18
    New International Version

    17 Now kill all the boys. And kill every woman who has slept with a man,(A) 18 but save for yourselves every girl who has never slept with a man.
    2.
    1 Samuel 15:3
    King James Version
    3 Now go and smite Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have, and spare them not; but slay both man and woman, infant and suckling, ox and sheep, camel and ass.

    3.Exodus 21:14 NIV

    But if anyone schemes and kills someone deliberately, that person is to be taken from my altar and put to death.

  18. The Qur'an reminds the Jews of that commandment. So the Qur'an isn't appropriating it; it tells you that this is what Allah revealed to the Jews, and then repeats what they had in their possession. The subtle differences you'll find between the Quranic phraseology and the reference in the Talmud, is the Qur'an exposing what they'd changed. Meaning that Allah revealed to them not to kill any soul, but the Jews changed the meaning of that to "not any Jewish soul", excluding other peoples.

    Now, this isn't just some commentary some Jewish exegete concocted. The Jews themselves say that these commentaries are actually divinely revealed. They call this the Oral Torah, which they claim are the commentaries of Moses, which were passed down orally, until they wrote them down eventually. So according to them, this is actually a Law, and not just commentary. And according to them, it's from God, because God revealed it to Moses, who informed his followers, who then carried it with them. Then the Qur'an comes along, and it confirms that injunction. So while Christians will typically negate and dismiss Jewish commentaries, because "it's not in the Bible", the Qur'an is much more lenient, and acknowledges that some parts of what the Jews have in their books of egexeses are true. If that makes the Qur'an less trustworthy, then go ahead and roll with that. It doesn't prove anything, since the Qur'an refers it back to the Jewish tradition and it functions as a reminder. We, as Muslims, then, adopt that same teaching, but in its original form of course, divorced from this ethnocentric worldview that they have. And the Quranic version is likely to be the real version, since Kain and Abel weren't Jews.

    The references to the clay birds and the infancy narrative are not worth responding to. I mean, I could elaborate why those are bogus arguments, but let's instead counter this guy's claim.

    Which is more reliable, or trustworthy; Bible or Qur'an?

    Simple: what's the oldest extant manuscript that you have for the Bible? Take the books attributed to Moses. The "Paleo-Hebrew Leviticus Scroll" is dated to around the 1st century B.C.E. to 1st century C.E., and contains fragments of the book of Leviticus. Moses lived when? 13th century B.C.E.? What's the gap there? "The Great Isaiah Scroll" is the oldest known, nearly complete book of Isaiah. Radiocarbon dating and palaeographic/scribal dating put it around 2500 years old. Isaiah is said to have lived in the 8th century B.C.E., so there's a gap of how many centuries? How reliable would that make the contents? Papyrus52 is the oldest known fragment of John's Gospel, and the oldest extant manuscript of any New Testament book. Written in the first half of the second century C.E., so well over 100 years after Jesus. How reliable is that then? The oldest known Qurans were written right after the death of Muhammad. Peace and blessings upon all of Allah's prophets.

    The universe is 6000 years old, according to the Biblical genealogies. The Earth is just as old as the rest of the universe (created on the first Day). The Earth is a flat disc according to the Bible. The heaven is a solid dome structure. The stars would fall from the sky (to the Earth), according to the words attributed to Jesus in the Gospels. Doomsday, according to the same narrative, would occur during the lives of the disciples of Jesus. How reliable is all of that?

    Also, your claim that the Gospels were written by eyewitnesses is ridiculous. They clearly weren't. Tell me, did the author of Luke's Gospel witness the events he discusses on page 1? How does he know the exact words that Zakariyah and Gabriel used during their encounter, in a secluded room in the Tempel, with no witnesses around, many years before the author of this Gospel was probably even born? How is the author accurately quoting their conversation verbatim? Did they converse in Greek? I don't think so. The author doesn't claim to be inspired. He's writing on the basis of what he has heard other people say. So how reliable is that?

  20. I clicked on the video by curiosity.. it's weird when people of Falsehood attack the Truth without applying their own arguments to their own faith and Book(s)…
    If they were HONEST and SINCERE they would do.. but they ARE NOT.

    May The One True God worthy of worship, The Creator of Heavens and Earth and which is in between, may He show us The Truth as truth and grant us to follow it and show us the Falsehood as falsehood and grant us to avoid it. Ameen

  21. God of the Bible is perfect in every way. Not at war with each other like most polytheistic beliefs nor is eternally alone like “Judaism/islamic beliefs” rather God is Triune meaning
    1 God who is 3 in Persons. Therefore, God eternally exists in a set of living loving relationships within the Trinity “Father, Son, Holy Spirit”
    Also the God of the Bible demonstrates both love/justice perfectly through the Son whom the Father has sent to us on the cross where al sin was punished and paid in full once and for all leaving no sin go unpunished and that all sin is paid for “perfect righteous justice” also God who is infinitely pure, righteous and holy took into Himself the exact opposite of His nature “evil/sin” for those who did the sinful acts/thoughts while giving us who believe His perfect righteousness so that we could be the righteousness of God Almighty and be able to stand before God in perfection that is only so because of the infinite love of God Almighty. For God demonstrated His own love for us, in that while we were still yet sinners, Christ died for us! Glory to the only true God of the Holy Bible! No greater love! Amen!

  23. Since the fall of Adam and Eve a Deliverer is announced by God for the sins of the world.

    I will put enmity between you and the woman, between your seed and her seed:

    she will crush your head, and you will hurt her heel. Genesis 3:15

    God always announces a Savior for humanity.

    Who believed what was announced to us? Who recognized the arm of the Lord? But he was wounded for our transgressions, crushed for our iniquities;

    The chastisement that gives us peace fell on him, And it is by his wounds that we are healed.

    We were all wandering like sheep, Each going his own way; And the LORD has laid upon him the iniquity of us all…

    And he has not opened his mouth, Like a lamb being led to the slaughter, Like a sheep mute before those who shear it; He didn't open his mouth…

    And among those of his generation, who believed… And smitten for the sins of my people? After having given up his life as a sacrifice for sin…

    By his knowledge my righteous servant will justify many men, and he will bear their iniquities.

    Because he gave himself up to death, and was numbered among the criminals, because he bore the sins of many men, and made intercession for the guilty . Isaiah 53

    God foresees the birth of the Saviour.

    For a child is born to us, a son is given to us, and dominion will rest on his shoulder, He will be called Admirable,

    Counselor, Mighty God, Eternal Father, Prince of Peace. Isaiah 9:6

    Who believed what was announced to us? Who recognized the arm of the Lord !!!

  28. Nothing but disgraceful lies… You should be embarrassed. What witnesses? What a joke… No shame, just lying to your viewers like that for some likes… Absolutely disgraceful. You'd crumble in a debate or just a discussion on this. You'd also have to explain how the Quran has historical corrections of your historically erroneous texts, not to mention the Quran's scientific precision, Prophecies, and unprecedented and unparalleled melodic linguistic eloquence. You didn't even explain how he would've read the apocrypha or understood it since he doesn't read or write. Missionaries are a joke lol.
