Full transcript
- 0:00Give me a second. All right. So, so just
- 0:01for clarification, so the NGIL is what
- 0:03Jesus was preaching orally, right?
- 0:05Correct. And then what and then the New
- 0:07Testament that they had in Muhammad's
- 0:09time in the 70s. Correct. So what we
- 0:11have is the NGL in a general sense. In a
- 0:13general sense. Okay. Correct. So the
- 0:14majority of what we have in the New
- 0:16Testament is the gospel is the NGO. Uh
- 0:18in a sense where obviously we have to
- 0:19decipher what is historically accurate
- 0:21or not. uh when it comes to the uh
- 0:23initial gospels, Mark obviously being
- 0:24the earliest, we have no issue of doing
- 0:27a general confirmation of the parables
- 0:29of the teachings uh found in there. Uh
- 0:31but yeah, so and we're also obviously
- 0:33going to use the Quran as a criterion as
- 0:34I mentioned chapter 20 of the Quran.
- 0:35Where does the where does the B or where
- 0:37does the Quran say that you use the
- 0:38Quran to tell what the angel is? Uh yes.
- 0:41So if you go to chapter 20 of the Quran
- 0:43verse
- 0:44133 means clarification over the pre
- 0:47over the previous scriptures. All right.
- 0:48Can can we get that verse up? Yeah, of
- 0:50course. Um, you said you said what verse
- 0:52is. Oh, my phone's dead.
- 0:55Yes.
- 1:07Some water. I got some water for you,
- 1:10please.
- 1:15You got it.
- 1:28Yeah. Right. And a specific word in
- 1:30Arabic used bay English. English. Yeah.
- 1:32They demand if only he could bring us a
- 1:34a sign from his lord. Have they not
- 1:36received received a confirmation by the
- 1:38same word can also mean a clarification
- 1:40of what is in the scripture. It says
- 1:41confirmation. Right. But if if we just
- 1:43if we go into wait what what verse is
- 1:45this again? Chapter 20 of the Quran
- 1:48versation. manifestation of what they
- 1:50have. And yeah, just give me a second,
- 1:52guys. And Ibnb and I know you love me. I
- 1:54know. Just give me a second. I know you
- 1:55love me. Andba Kir mentions the same
- 1:58exact verse, same exact chapter. If we
- 1:59go into anyone can open up right now, he
- 2:02mentions, let's go to it. Uh, one
- 2:06second. Let me pull up.
- 2:09All right. 2133, right? Yeah. So yet the
- 2:13Quran contains information about the
- 2:16about the people of the past that tells
- 2:17of their events from times long ago and
- 2:20it agrees with the authentic information
- 2:22in in the previous books concerning
- 2:24these matters. The Quran is supervisor
- 2:26over these books. It verifies what is
- 2:28correct and explains the mistakes that
- 2:31were falsely placed in them. So that
- 2:34specifically mentions how the Quranic
- 2:35author is aware of biblical details many
- 2:38times um edits biblical deton such as
- 2:42the account of Moses account of Jesus
- 2:44and directly amidst them which means
- 2:45that the Quranic author is aware of
- 2:47these details. Okay. So just to be clear
- 2:48so it says um it says
- 2:53uh and they say why not has 21 133
- 2:57right? Why not has why not um did he
- 3:00bring to us a sign from his lord has u
- 3:04when has not come to them has not come
- 3:06to them evidence of what is in the
- 3:10scriptures of the former correct so it
- 3:12says that the that what the Quran is
- 3:14bringing is evidence in their scriptures
- 3:17yeah but you're assuming that the word
- 3:18has a univocal meaning if if why are you
- 3:20taking it to be to mean that it's like
- 3:22fixing it when it doesn't say that
- 3:23because the the the earliest exegetical
- 3:25work such as clarifies what is meant So
- 3:28if you're well I'm just confused. If
- 3:29you're if if the Quran doesn't say that
- 3:31now I I we could agree that the Quran
- 3:32doesn't say that it's coming as a
- 3:34clarification or fixing what is in the
- 3:36scripture. If you assume if you assume a
- 3:38univocal meaning then yes but because
- 3:39it's equivocal it's going to have to be
- 3:41the case where it has an equivocal
- 3:42definition and by the earliest
- 3:44understanding we can match that meaning.
- 3:45Okay. So if we go to like for example in
- 3:471094 let's talk about right it says that
- 3:49if you are in doubt oh Muhammad about
- 3:51what we have revealed to you then ask
- 3:53those who have been reading the
- 3:54scripture before you and who are those
- 3:55who read the scriptures logic? The
- 3:56people of the book who the Jews okay
- 3:58that's wrong that's incorrect according
- 4:00to our existical works such
- 4:03as they clarify that those who read the
- 4:06scriptures are those rabbis and
- 4:08Christians who were non-believers who
- 4:10became Muslims after they found one
- 4:12second after they found Muhammad in the
- 4:14scriptures so they're Jews and
- 4:15Christians right who who are Muslims it
- 4:17doesn't say that they're Musl they're
- 4:18Jews and Christians correct no no like
- 4:20do you know Abdam of course he converted
- 4:22right okay so he's a Muslim who was a
- 4:24Jewish exactly so he a Jew. We got
- 4:26Christians, right? Because they found
- 4:28Muhammad. One second. So the people
- 4:29who've been reading the scripture before
- 4:31Muhammad, who are they? Abdullahbam and
- 4:33other readers. So these are Jews and
- 4:34Christians, correct? Nope. At the time
- 4:35of the revelation, the they were Yeah.
- 4:38Just give me a they were Jews and
- 4:40Christians who converted to Islam. And
- 4:42that's why Just give me a second. Say
- 4:43that. Just give me a second. Who
- 4:45converted to Islam after who converted
- 4:48and the verse was revealed on their
- 4:49account because after after they became
- 4:52Muslim. Why? Because they saw Muhammad
- 4:54in the scriptures. Okay. Boom. So what's
- 4:55their source for making making sure
- 4:57Muhammad was a true prophet? Uh the Old
- 4:58Testament. Exactly. So it was the Old
- 5:00Testament that verified Muhammad's
- 5:01prophethood, right? Correct. Okay. So if
- 5:03he wasn't in their scriptures, they
- 5:04could have judged Muhammad as a false
- 5:05prophet. Right. Sure. So then what's the
- 5:07judge on who on Muhammad's prophethood?
- 5:09Is it the Quran or is the previous
- 5:10scriptures? Yeah. So because the the
- 5:12statement in 1094 is going to be
- 5:13something known as a conditional
- 5:14impossibility because the condition of
- 5:16Muhammad be in doubt as for our
- 5:17narrations is impossible because the
- 5:19same narration that we No, no, just give
- 5:21me a second. Gives you okay. Just give
- 5:22me a second. The narration that we have
- 5:23states specifically speak a little
- 5:24slower and clearer. Yeah. The narration
- 5:26that we have specifically mentioned that
- 5:27Muhammad was never in doubt and he
- 5:29didn't go ask that's why we have
- 5:30specific we're not asking about. Just
- 5:31give me a second. Just let me land the
- 5:33point. Which means that 1094 is
- 5:35something known as a conditional
- 5:36impossibility to convey the message that
- 5:39Muhammad is in the scriptures. The
- 5:40reason we know this is because for if I
- 5:42say for example if I had wings I could
- 5:44fly. Obviously I can't have wings. So
- 5:46I'm saying it because I'm conveying the
- 5:48message that I can't fly. But it's
- 5:50impossible.
- 5:52It can't happen. Hold on a second. So
- 5:54you when with your statement you're
- 5:56communicating that if you had wings you
- 5:58could fly, right? Correct. So you're
- 6:00conveying a truth. You're you're
- 6:02conveying a truth. The condition is
- 6:03impossible but it's not the reality of
- 6:05the situation. Right. Yeah. No, it's is
- 6:07the condition itself is impossible. No,
- 6:09it's not. God can give you wings.
- 6:10Correct. Couldn't he? Yeah. But
- 6:11obviously from an altruistic point of
- 6:14view I'm speaking from but it's not. Is
- 6:16is Muhammad being possible? It's
- 6:17possible. Of course. No. Okay. Oh, you
- 6:19can say that if you're doing an internal
- 6:20critique. Let me give you that it's not
- 6:22possible that Muhammad actually doubted.
- 6:24Okay. What does Allah tell him to do if
- 6:25he did? Go to Abdam. No, it doesn't. It
- 6:28does. Can you read Can you read the
- 6:30verses? Tell me where it says go to
- 6:32Abdullah Salam. Yeah. So, it's it's
- 6:34going to be a very simple argument.
- 6:35Logic is arguing that those who are the
- 6:37scriptures read the verse. Those who are
- 6:40the who are the scriptures. Okay. Yeah,
- 6:43sure. So, so does the So, just to be
- 6:46simple and let's be honest with it. Does
- 6:48the verse say if you're in doubt go to
- 6:51Abdullah Salam? We're not Quranists. I
- 6:53didn't I didn't say that. It doesn't say
- 6:54that though. So uh because our clarifies
- 6:57what is meant in that verse. Do you love
- 6:59your do you love the Quran? Not just the
- 7:01Quran. I love the Quran and the Sunnah
- 7:02and the statements of the Do you cherish
- 7:03it? Now logic because seriously do do
- 7:06you cherish the Quran? Do you rever it?
- 7:08Of course. But you want to let me line
- 7:09my point? I just want I'm on my point.
- 7:12You would never you would never add You
- 7:14love the Quran. You cherish it. You
- 7:15rever it. So you would never add to it,
- 7:17right? But we're not Quranist. Would you
- 7:19add to the Quran? What do you mean by
- 7:20that? Clarify what you mean. Would you
- 7:21ever say something that the Quran
- 7:22doesn't say? Yes. We we we Yo, can can
- 7:25you let me learn my points? We derive
- 7:27jurist we derive juristprudent matters
- 7:29from outside the Quran as well as the
- 7:31Quran. The Quran is not the only thing
- 7:32that's authoritative upon us. We're not
- 7:34Quranist. Which means that when we have
- 7:36the Quran and the Sunnah and the
- 7:37statements of the Salaf, all three are
- 7:39going to be binding upon us. No, just
- 7:40one one second logic. And because Logic
- 7:43is doing an internal critique,
- 7:44unfortunately, he's going to have to
- 7:46grant me my paradigm which includes our
- 7:48exegetical work which includes our
- 7:49narration. So now Logic because our
- 7:51earliest exetical work includes these
- 7:53people as those who read the scriptures
- 7:55because you're doing internal critique,
- 7:56you have to grant it to me unless you
- 7:58don't want to grant it. No, I don't have
- 7:59to I don't have to grant you your
- 8:00position because it's an internal
- 8:01critique. You have to Well, I'm I'm
- 8:02giving you the Quran. But you don't like
- 8:04the Quran and it's you give me just the
- 8:06Quran. Let me finish please. Okay. So
- 8:08you're saying that according to the
- 8:10interpretation of the verse that it
- 8:12mentions a narration where Muhammad goes
- 8:14to uh a former Jew and asks am I in your
- 8:17scriptures or a former Christian? Am I
- 8:19in your scriptures? Right. No. No. No.
- 8:21Oh. So does say oh really the those who
- 8:24are reading the scripture before him are
- 8:26specifically uh Abdullah Salam. Does he
- 8:28say that? Yes. Can you show me that?
- 8:29Yeah, of course. He's talking about the
- 8:31Jew because they have the sign. They
- 8:33have the sign in their book like
- 8:36Deuteronomy 18:18. When God talked to
- 8:39Moses and he told him the prophecy of
- 8:42prophet, he will send a prophet like you
- 8:45from among their brothers. So guys, pay
- 8:48attention to the point. No, pay
- 8:50attention to the point. The the point is
- 8:53is that he's saying that according to
- 8:55the verse, those who've been reading the
- 8:57scripture before you is not talking
- 8:59about in general the people of the book
- 9:00as a whole is specifically talking about
- 9:03Abdullah Salam. No, it's impossible.
- 9:04That's what he's saying. It's
- 9:05impossible. It's impossible. wrong. I'm
- 9:07not saying he's wrong. That's his
- 9:09opinion. He's entitled to his opinion.
- 9:11But what I'm saying is what I'm saying
- 9:13is you want to Why you It's like yes or
- 9:16no. No, it's not. is not God talking to
- 9:21everybody because the law of Moses the
- 9:24law of Mos the law of Mos is specific
- 9:27for the Jew while the Quran confirm it
- 9:30and suppress the the Bible with a law to
- 9:35the legislation agreement we agree yeah
- 9:38so you're on my side we're against him
- 9:41he I don't know why he's specific only
- 9:44for I don't know
- 9:46either in this you are Thank you. Thank
- 9:49you so much. Because because the Jew at
- 9:52at the time of the prophet, they were in
- 9:55the Medina waiting for the coming of the
- 9:57new prophet. And this is what it is. And
- 10:00the prophet when he come the Jew, they
- 10:02were the first one who turned against
- 10:04him. This is why he expel him after they
- 10:07try to assassinate him.
- 10:13Yeah. Yeah.
- 10:14[Applause]
- 10:15[Laughter]
- 10:20Y'all out here cooking, man.
- 10:23There we go. I can pull it up, too, but
- 10:26I don't
- 10:28have something. Yeah, sure. Uh, I'm in
- 10:31Arabic. Do you mind if I just in Arabic?
- 10:40Okay. You got to translate. Yeah. Okay,
- 10:43that's fine. Uh,
- 10:481094. Ask those who read the scriptures
- 10:50before
- 10:52you from the people of the Tawat and
- 10:55like Abdullah. Ah, wait, wait, pause
- 10:58there. Yeah. So like Abdullah, what's
- 11:00his name? Abdam. Can I just call him
- 11:03Bdam? Abdullah bin Salam. Thank you
- 11:04guys. So like Abdullah bin Salam.
- 11:07Correct. So he's just an example of what
- 11:09this looks like. So he's talking in
- 11:11general. Ask those who've been reading
- 11:13the scripture before you and like he did
- 11:16with Abdullah Ib Salah. Yeah. Because he
- 11:18recognized the prophet of Muhammad. I
- 11:20got you. So he's an example of this
- 11:21coming into fruition. Yeah. Because he
- 11:23he fits that criteria. I get you. But so
- 11:26the point is is that the verse is
- 11:28referring to the people of the book in
- 11:29general. Abdullahbin Salam is an example
- 11:32of this happening. Why is he an example
- 11:33logic? Because it happened in real time.
- 11:35No. No. He's an example because he
- 11:36matched the criteria of those that can
- 11:38be referred to to find the prophet
- 11:40Muhammad in the scriptures. Why? because
- 11:42he was the people of the book. No. Yes.
- 11:45No. No. Logically, not every person of
- 11:46the people of the book will recognize
- 11:47Muhammad as scriptures. However, only
- 11:49those who reverted will recognize
- 11:51Muhammad in the scripture. I got you.
- 11:52But you're not you're missing my point.
- 11:53My point is is that the reason why
- 11:55Abdullah bin Salam matches the criteria
- 11:58of someone he can go ask is because he's
- 12:00of the people of the book. I'm not
- 12:01granting that is the only criteria. I'm
- 12:03saying there's another qualifier on top.
- 12:05Okay. The other qualifier is that they
- 12:07have to recognize Muhammad in the
- 12:08scriptures. Okay. Where do you get that?
- 12:10Can I explain him? Can I explain what
- 12:13he's saying? What he's saying? I know
- 12:15what he's saying. I know what he's
- 12:16saying. What he's saying? Shut up.
- 12:19What he's
- 12:21saying? He applies the criteria and
- 12:25accepted the Jew who accept that the
- 12:28prophet criteria. He is the prophet of
- 12:30God. I got you. So, can you say it's
- 12:32reasonable that um it's it's referring
- 12:34to the people of the book in general and
- 12:36the people who took this seriously, they
- 12:39would end up believing Muhammad's a
- 12:40prophet, right? Yes. Okay. So, it's
- 12:43referring to the people of the book in
- 12:44general. And when the people of the book
- 12:46in general check their scriptures, their
- 12:48scriptures affirm and verify Muhammad's
- 12:50a prophet. Correct. Okay. If the
- 12:52scriptures doesn't affirm that
- 12:53Muhammad's a prophet, they can judge
- 12:54that Muhammad's a false prophet. Right.
- 12:56Sure. So, what's the judge on Muhammad's
- 12:58prophethood? Is it the Quran or the
- 12:59previous scriptures? It depends on who
- 13:00you're speaking to.
- 13:03No, please. Yo, yo, you got to let my
- 13:05points, right? If you're referring to
- 13:07someone who's uh the only bind of
- 13:09scripture upon them is going to be the
- 13:10biblical narrative, then sure, we can go
- 13:12there. However, generally speaking, we
- 13:13can affirm Muhammad's prophethhood
- 13:15without needing to appeal to the Bible.
- 13:16We don't need to appeal to the Bible. I
- 13:17didn't ask that. I I I know that you
- 13:19have your ways of uh that you believe in
- 13:21Muhammad outside the Bible. Sure. But
- 13:22specifically, the Quran points to the
- 13:24Bible as a proof for Muhammad's
- 13:26prophethood. Does that does that in turn
- 13:28absolute confirmation? Of course it
- 13:29does. So why is everybody jumping in?
- 13:32He's doing good, guys. This guy, this
- 13:36brother's doing good. All right, he's in
- 13:38he's intellectual. He can do it. All
- 13:40right. So So with this being said,
- 13:42right, when you're talk when it says go
- 13:44to the people of the book, all right,
- 13:46who can read the scripture before you if
- 13:48you are in doubt, right? Correct. So
- 13:50basically the verifier of the of the of
- 13:52Muhammad's prophethood and the Quran is
- 13:54the is the old test is the old
- 13:55scriptures. So that means that it's the
- 13:58old scriptures that's the judge on
- 13:59whether the Quran is true or not. Right?
- 14:01Uh judge if Muhammad is a true prophet
- 14:04according to the Jews and Christians.
- 14:05Yes. No. No. Not according to Jews and
- 14:06Christians. Because that's the binding
- 14:07of scripture upon them. We'll do this
- 14:08again. It says if you're in doubt about
- 14:11that which we have revealed to you which
- 14:12is the Quran. Right. Okay. If you're in
- 14:14doubt about the Quran then go check the
- 14:17scriptures. Sure. Right. So if Muhammad
- 14:19goes and checks the scriptures he and he
- 14:21sees that he lines up with it, he'll
- 14:22he'll know that the Quran is good and he
- 14:24has no reason to doubt. Right. Sure, but
- 14:26but it's impossible for him to be down
- 14:27the first. No worries. Just going with
- 14:28the hypothetical. That's literally
- 14:30important to the premise. I don't think
- 14:32so. We're going with Look, it's not my
- 14:34Allah gave this hypothetical, not me.
- 14:36Sure. All right. So, I'm going with what
- 14:37Allah gave us. Okay. So, Allah gave him
- 14:40us a hypothetical. If Muhammad's in
- 14:41doubt, go check the previous scriptures.
- 14:43Sure. So, Muhammad can go check the
- 14:45previous scriptures, find himself in
- 14:47there, correct? And he'll know that he
- 14:49has no reason to doubt the Quran. Right.
- 14:51That's impossible hypothetical. Yeah.
- 14:52Sure. But yes. Okay. Okay. Now, if if
- 14:55Muhammad goes to the previous scriptures
- 14:57and finds out he's not in line with
- 14:58them, then he'll know that the Quran is
- 15:00false and he has good reason to doubt
- 15:01the Quran, right? Sure. Sure. Okay. So,
- 15:03then therefore the judge of truth
- 15:05according to this scenario, is it the
- 15:07Quran or is it the pre specifically the
- 15:09prophetic message is in the Bible?
- 15:11Whatever prophesied. Yes. Okay. So, if
- 15:14it's there, then it's good. Then the
- 15:16Quran's good. If it's not there, the
- 15:17Quran's false. Sure. Sure. So, it's the
- 15:19Bible that's the that's the judge over
- 15:21the Quran, right? Yeah. So no, if if the
- 15:23B if the Bible doesn't prophesy
- 15:24Muhammad, Islam is false. Good. So then
- 15:27the judge is the Bible in the sense that
- 15:29the prophetic not the entire Bible.
- 15:31You're missing it. No, I'm not I'm not
- 15:34Once, let me clarify. I'm not granting
- 15:36that because the prophetic the prophetic
- 15:38material is in the Bible that this must
- 15:39mean that we must holistically confirm
- 15:41the scripture that we specifically
- 15:43appeal to the prophetic elements found
- 15:44in the biblical scriptures. Okay. Not
- 15:46everything. Okay. All right. No worries.
- 15:47Okay. So this is what I need you to do.
- 15:48Okay. So we we agreed that according to
- 15:51Muhammad's prophet prophethood, right,
- 15:53that it's the Bible that's the judge on
- 15:55whether Muhammad is a true or false
- 15:56prophet. It's not the Quran to those
- 15:58binding upon the sign of the prophet.
- 16:02But yeah, we
- 16:04we agree. There's no doubt. There's no
- 16:08doubt
- 16:13listen. The prophet, there's no doubt he
- 16:16is a prophet. And what I'm saying is the
- 16:18sign the sign is for the Jew and the
- 16:21Christian to look at their scripture and
- 16:24to look for him. I'll try my best. I'll
- 16:26try my best. I'm talking to you, man.
- 16:29I'm talking to you. Okay. Okay. Sorry.
- 16:33Prophet Muhammad, he is the true prophet
- 16:37and the last prophet of of God. And he
- 16:40knows that while the Christian and the
- 16:42Jew who they need to do their scripture
- 16:46and she and see if the sign of the
- 16:50prophet are found in their their
- 16:53religion and I have for you lot of
- 16:55references references and the Bible talk
- 16:59about
- 17:03all right you okay so when it come when
- 17:07it comes to Muhammad and his
- 17:09prophethhood Correct. The judge is the
- 17:11Bible. It's going back to the pre older
- 17:14scriptures. So, and you said
- 17:15specifically about Muhammad being
- 17:17mentioned in there. Correct. If he's not
- 17:19mentioned in there, it's false. So, what
- 17:21I would want is an example of Jesus
- 17:23mentioning Muhammad. Uh, is Jesus the
- 17:26only part of the biblical narrative of
- 17:27of the angel? The New Testament. Can we
- 17:29not go through Old Testament? What's
- 17:31that? I'm Cuz Well, because your Quran
- 17:32says that Jesus mentions him by name.
- 17:34Does it say in the scriptures? Well, it
- 17:36says Well, where else would Jesus be
- 17:37mentioned in that? Wait, wait. No, no,
- 17:38you're not getting it. Imagine that
- 17:40Jesus said Ahmed will come. I agree with
- 17:41that. Does it say that? Wait, wait one
- 17:43second. Does it say that Ahmed will come
- 17:44and that's written in the scriptures? It
- 17:46doesn't say that. Okay, good. So, where
- 17:48would it be? What we're going to do is
- 17:49that we're going to go to the
- 17:50scriptures. We're going to be good
- 17:51people of the scriptures. We're going to
- 17:52go to it and we're going to go to the
- 17:54Old Testament. How about that? Wait, no.
- 17:55The New Testament. Why not the Old I'll
- 17:57tell you what. I'll tell you. I just
- 17:58told you why. John 16. John 16. Let them
- 18:01do it. John 16:16.
- 18:06Man, man. Come on, bro.
- 18:10Yeah. So, look. So, look. This is where
- 18:11we're at. Okay. Just give me a second.
- 18:12The re the reason why is because one, it
- 18:15does mention both Old and New Testament,
- 18:17right? But it specifically mentions
- 18:19Jesus as well, right? It does. So, I'm
- 18:21interested in where Jesus mentions this.
- 18:23Now, here's here's let me work this out
- 18:25with you. When you say that, does it say
- 18:27that Jesus said it and in the
- 18:29scriptures? Correct. You're right. It
- 18:30doesn't say that. That's fun. Now, where
- 18:33would Jesus be revealing this? Would
- 18:34this be in scripture or would this be in
- 18:35like a hadith of Jesus or something?
- 18:37What do you mean? When Jesus gives a
- 18:39revelation that a prophet's coming after
- 18:41him, where would it be? U that's going
- 18:43to argue from silence. You're assuming
- 18:45that everything that Jesus must have
- 18:46spoke must be recorded and and told in
- 18:49the scriptures. We don't have to go on
- 18:50that. Okay. When so you you said that
- 18:52when Jesus came he's preaching the jail,
- 18:54correct? So if he's mentioning a
- 18:56revelation Sure. When you agree that a
- 18:58the like a a prophecy of another prophet
- 19:00is a revelation from God, right? Yeah,
- 19:02sure. Okay. So if g when Jesus is given
- 19:04revelation this is in the scripture
- 19:06would you agree? No, that's not one
- 19:08second. It's a nonsequiter. Oh my
- 19:10goodness. It's It will be a nonsequit to
- 19:12say that everything a prophet must have
- 19:13spoke, must be recorded in the
- 19:15scriptures is a nonsequit. It doesn't
- 19:16follow. So you must justify why is it
- 19:19that one second
- 19:22that we don't have to grant that it must
- 19:23be in the scriptures. Your argument
- 19:24logic your argument hinges on that
- 19:26everything that Jesus must have
- 19:27prophesied about every every prophetic
- 19:29elements must be written in the
- 19:31scriptures. I'm not granting that. I'm
- 19:33saying I'm saying that it's a facious
- 19:35argument from silence because we
- 19:36wouldn't expect it there to be evidence
- 19:38for us to find Jesus and everything he
- 19:40prophesied about written in scriptures.
- 19:42I got you. Let me tell you why it's not
- 19:43an argument from silence. The reason why
- 19:44it's not an argument from silence is
- 19:46because we have evidence of the contrary
- 19:48and I'm going by the Quran standard. The
- 19:50Quran says Jesus came preaching the
- 19:52Injio. Sure. Right. And you agreed that
- 19:54whenever he's giving revelation, it's in
- 19:56his which is the scripture of Allah. I
- 19:58haven't even said that the inj the equal
- 20:01definition. What was Jesus preaching?
- 20:02That must have been written down. I
- 20:03didn't grant you that. You said the
- 20:05angel is what Jesus was preaching and
- 20:06then also the New Testament that the
- 20:08Yeah. It's an equivocal definition
- 20:10because it's going to have a different
- 20:11definition depending on the context
- 20:12logic. I one second. I never granted you
- 20:15that whatever Jesus was preaching was
- 20:17actively being recorded down. I never
- 20:18granted you that. So what? Okay. So this
- 20:20new test I'm just confused now. So when
- 20:22you say that the angel is the new
- 20:23testament when you say that the angel is
- 20:25the new testament that the Christians
- 20:26have is so is that is that the
- 20:29revelation of Allah? Yeah. Uh guys, let
- 20:32It's all good. It's all good. Yeah.
- 20:33Yeah. Yeah. Is is that is the New
- 20:35Testament that they have with them that
- 20:37Allah is appealing to is that revelation
- 20:39of Allah. It wouldn't be exact
- 20:40revelation. It would be correct in
- 20:42meaning. However, it wouldn't be the
- 20:43exact revelation again. What does that
- 20:44mean? Exactly. If if you if you asked me
- 20:46first before we spoke, what does what do
- 20:48you mean by equal? I would have
- 20:49explained it to you. No issue. I got
- 20:50you.
- 20:58Vocal. I'm going to repeat it one more
- 20:59time. It's either going to refer to what
- 21:01was originally given to Jesus as a
- 21:02revelation or what the Jews and the
- 21:05Christians had with them in the second
- 21:07second century seventh century. Sorry.
- 21:10Oh my god. Ignore it. Ignore it. Ignore
- 21:12it. Ignore it. All right. Can I still
- 21:14hear? Ignore it, guys. Ignore. Ignore.
- 21:16Ignore. Just ignore. They get no energy.
- 21:18Yeah. Do you want me to Oh, yeah. So,
- 21:21Injil is
- 21:23In is either going to Bro, why
- 21:26am I shouting? I'm So the E and they
- 21:30either the what Jesus originally spoke
- 21:32correct or the New Testament that they
- 21:35had in in Mohamad. Yeah. Now when I say
- 21:37this it shouldn't be you understanding
- 21:38that hey the New Testament must be the
- 21:40revelation given to Jesus. That's what
- 21:42the angel is. Again you're not you don't
- 21:44get what I'm saying. So it's part of the
- 21:45NGO not a revelation. No again you're
- 21:48equivoc you're equivocating. You're
- 21:49collapsing the definitions. Can you I'm
- 21:51just look can you can you like justify
- 21:53this in the Quran that the NGO in some
- 21:55sense is not a revelation. Yeah, because
- 21:57it refers to the Jews and the Christians
- 21:58having the injured with them even though
- 22:00it had distortion. But it says but it
- 22:02says the Quran is confirming that in a
- 22:04general sense. It doesn't say in a
- 22:05general sense. Okay, good. Then it has
- 22:06to be reconciled through the scripture.
- 22:07No, no, this guy has to get out. The
- 22:10Quran chapter chapter 2, chapter 3, four
- 22:14and five. Yeah. Yeah. You got to let him
- 22:16do it. It confirm what the truth and the
- 22:19Bible and let because it's mixed. Your
- 22:23Bible is mixed. is be tempted with.
- 22:26Okay. Okay. Good. So, God logically just
- 22:28asked me where do you get it from in the
- 22:31Quran that the confirmation given is a
- 22:33general confirmation and absolute. Good
- 22:35question. I agree with Yo, this guy's
- 22:37got to stop. This guy's got I agree with
- 22:39logic that if we only take the verses
- 22:41which confirm the scriptures that we
- 22:43wouldn't be able to derive a general
- 22:44confirmation. But because we must take
- 22:46these accounts holistically, we
- 22:48reconcile the verses which affirm the
- 22:50the the injil and affirm the scriptures
- 22:52and we reconcile it with other verses
- 22:54and narrations which confirm the
- 22:55corruption. Therefore, we derive that it
- 22:57must be a general confirmation through
- 22:59through reconciliation of the
- 23:00scriptures. I see. So you're man that's
- 23:03tough cuz that'll that'll lead us to
- 23:05does the Quran confirm the Bible? And
- 23:07you kind of you're saying yes and no. I
- 23:09want to show Muhammad in the Bible but
- 23:10you don't want to let me man. So this is
- 23:11what I want. So, so since it says it's,
- 23:14you know, Muhammad is in the jail and
- 23:16the Torah, but and the Torah, you're
- 23:18right. But in the jail that you're
- 23:19talking about, the New Testament. Okay.
- 23:22So, I want to see Muhammad mentioned in
- 23:23the New Testament or his description.
- 23:25Yeah. So, I can give you an example.
- 23:26Just give me a second. Just give me a
- 23:28second. Ma Matthew 21:43 specifically
- 23:31mentions Jesus speaking to the Jews and
- 23:33saying that the kingdom of God will be
- 23:35taken away, given to people that will
- 23:36bear its fruit. The question to you is
- 23:38do you agree that it is the same kingdom
- 23:40talked about in Daniel 2 logic? No, no,
- 23:43no, no, no. So that uh there's a
- 23:45different context. Daniel 2 and Matthew
- 23:4721, brother Daniel uh in Matthew 21,
- 23:51Jesus says that he's going to give it
- 23:52he's talking to uh the Pharisees, right?
- 23:54The ones who are disbelieving in him.
- 23:56And he says he's going to give it to the
- 23:57people who are bearing the fruit. Okay.
- 23:59In Luke, Jesus says that he's given the
- 24:01kingdom to his disciples. Okay, that's
- 24:03fine. Yeah, but I'm I'm not granting I'm
- 24:04not granting specifically the holistic
- 24:06of the new the because it's the same
- 24:08thing. Just give me a second. Otherwise,
- 24:09I'm going to have a contradiction. But
- 24:10that's why I answer my answer my
- 24:12question directly. I just did. Is the
- 24:13kingdom that Jesus speaking about that
- 24:15will be given to the people the same
- 24:17kingdom that Daniel prophesied about.
- 24:19Yes or no? Sure. Okay. Good. It's the
- 24:21same kingdom. So now all I have to do is
- 24:22prove that the kingdom in Daniel is the
- 24:25Islamic kingdom and therefore it would
- 24:26prove no because you messed up here. How
- 24:28did I mess up? All right. Right. In
- 24:29Matthew 21, okay, you have Jesus talking
- 24:31about he's given the kingdom to another
- 24:33to to others, which he specifically says
- 24:35is his disciples. Okay? Right. No, no
- 24:37worries. Okay. I'm not I'm not granting
- 24:40a uniform understanding of You don't
- 24:41have to grant me No, you said that
- 24:42Muhammad is in the New Testament. That's
- 24:44what you said. Correct. You went to a
- 24:46parable where Jesus is talking about
- 24:47giving the kingdom to his disciples.
- 24:48Okay. Yes. Now, you just agreed with me
- 24:51that that kingdom is the same fifth
- 24:53kingdom in Daniel. You agree to that,
- 24:55correct? Yeah. Okay. Good. So now if we
- 24:57show that the fifth kingdom in Daniel
- 25:00cannot be the kingdom of Jesus then it
- 25:02cannot be the kingdom given to the
- 25:03disciples. It must mean that either the
- 25:05the the New Testament accounts are
- 25:07wrong. Would you agree? If it is if it's
- 25:09granted that Daniel is not a different
- 25:12type of kingdom. Wait. So God has two
- 25:14kingdoms. No. What what I'm saying is is
- 25:16that if you're if you're saying that oh
- 25:18um all I have to do is prove that Daniel
- 25:202 is the same. It follows directly. If
- 25:22it's not then what? We just have two
- 25:24different kingdoms that we're talking If
- 25:25it's not, then the biblical accounts
- 25:26will be wrong. Then no, it just means
- 25:28that there's two different kingdoms. So
- 25:29God has two kingdoms. That's not that's
- 25:30not contrary. God has two kingdoms. I'm
- 25:31not saying that. I'm just saying. Okay.
- 25:32I need to tell your position. Does God
- 25:33have two kingdoms? That's not what I'm
- 25:34saying. That's not what I'm saying.
- 25:35Okay. If you're if you're demonstrating
- 25:37that, oh, if Daniel 2 is not the same
- 25:39kingdom as Matthew 21, then that you
- 25:42just have two different kingdoms. That's
- 25:43not a That's not what I'm saying. I know
- 25:44what that's not what you're saying.
- 25:45You're saying that it's the same
- 25:47kingdom, right? You're saying that
- 25:49Daniel 2 is the same kingdom being
- 25:51spoken out in Matthew 21. Correct. But
- 25:53unfortunately for your position, the
- 25:54kingdom in Matthew 21 is given to the
- 25:56disciples of Jesus. Now you're you're
- 25:58assuming that the account in Luke and
- 26:00the count in Matthew are in conformity.
- 26:02They're talking about the same kingdom.
- 26:03Okay. I'm not granting that in
- 26:04conformity. You don't have to I'm saying
- 26:06I'm saying you the writers of New
- 26:08Testament sure Jesus into the Matthew
- 26:11and Daniel into the prophets in Daniel.
- 26:12But hold on a second. If you're if you
- 26:14appeal to Matthew 21 that talks about
- 26:16the son of God that talks about the
- 26:18kingdom being given to the disciples and
- 26:20then tries to uh uh uh put that with
- 26:24Daniel 2. I'll make it very simple. And
- 26:25then and then say wait actually it's not
- 26:27really I'll make it I'll make it very
- 26:28simple. For X if any X if the kingdom of
- 26:32God in Daniel uh uh in Daniel 2 is the
- 26:35Islamic kingdom would you agree that the
- 26:37kingdom talked about in Matthew? Listen
- 26:38the question very carefully. for any X
- 26:40if X if the kingdom in Daniel is the
- 26:42Islamic kingdom would you agree that the
- 26:44kingdom in in Matthew 31 must also be
- 26:46the Islamic kingdom it's a conditional
- 26:48Islamic as a question oh sure I agree
- 26:52that Matthew 21 the kingdom of God is
- 26:54Daniel 2 and Okay good so now knee and
- 26:56logic both agree that for any X if X if
- 26:59the kingdom in Daniel is the Islamic
- 27:01kingdom it must follow that the kingdom
- 27:03in Matthew is Islamic kingdom yeah okay
- 27:05good so so do you all also agree that
- 27:07since Matthew 21 and Daniel 2 as the
- 27:10same kingdom. Matthew 21 talks about the
- 27:12kingdom that is given to the disciples.
- 27:14I I I'm not going to go into your
- 27:16account. But you but you just said I'm
- 27:17not going to count to Luke. I'm not
- 27:18going to
- 27:19conformity. One second. One second. So
- 27:21now So notice what you have to do. What
- 27:23you have to do to try to formulate Islam
- 27:26and shoehorn Islam in there is you No,
- 27:28you do. You have to go to the New
- 27:29Testament. You got to pick out, okay,
- 27:31you know what? This detail can somehow
- 27:33match Islam. But when I when we get the
- 27:35full details of what it's talking about,
- 27:37ah, I don't like that one because that
- 27:38eliminates us. So, let me eliminate
- 27:40that. You know why I don't have to do
- 27:41that? The reason why I don't have to do
- 27:42that crazy is because logic just
- 27:44conceded that if the kingdom in Daniel
- 27:46is Islam, the kingdom in Matthew must
- 27:48also be Islam whether he likes it or
- 27:50not. So now the only conclusion that the
- 27:53king if the kingdom is Islam, the only
- 27:54conclusion we come to is that the
- 27:56biblical accounts are wrong. Simple.
- 27:59Because because it would not in
- 28:01conformity. So now No, that doesn't No,
- 28:02dude. Oh my goodness. You're missing it.
- 28:04You're missing it again. Your claim is
- 28:06that the kingdom in Matthew 21 is an
- 28:10Islamic kingdom, right?
- 28:13Uh, no. No. Daniel. Yeah. Matthew 21 and
- 28:15Daniel 3. Okay. So, Matthew 21 is the
- 28:18kingdom of God, which is an Islamic
- 28:21kingdom. That's your claim. Yes. Which
- 28:23is also referenced in Daniel 2. Correct.
- 28:25And Daniel 7. Right. Correct. Okay. So,
- 28:28in all of this references, can we just
- 28:29go to Daniel, please? Right. We're right
- 28:31here. We have to go to Daniel. is stuck
- 28:33here because because the Why don't you
- 28:34go to Daniel? Because we're stuck in in
- 28:36what you quoted. You quoted Matthew 21.
- 28:38Correct. So in Matthew 21, it talks
- 28:40about the kingdom that is given to the
- 28:43disciples of Jesus. Okay. Okay. Is the
- 28:46Islamic kingdom given to the disciples?
- 28:49Uh no. Then it's done. It's over. Okay.
- 28:52It's only over if you assume that the
- 28:54accounts are
- 28:56uniformity. If we use the whole New
- 28:57Testament, one second. One second. One
- 28:59second. I am not granting
- 29:01for if logic wants to go to if logic
- 29:05wants to go to but I don't know I don't
- 29:06I don't know if he wants to I don't know
- 29:07if you want to man why why won't you go
- 29:08to Daniel you're in Matthew 21 bro okay
- 29:11but you just agreed with me that the
- 29:12kingdom in Daniel is the same as yes so
- 29:13if it's the same you have to affirm that
- 29:15Islam was given by to the disciples or
- 29:17that your accounts are contradictory no
- 29:18it's not that you're wrong what the heck
- 29:20my guy I'm not granted that New
- 29:22Testament is in
- 29:23conformity but you're quoting the New
- 29:25Testament I'm not granted that Mark
- 29:26Matthew Luke and John have the same
- 29:27Christologology I don't I'm not grant
- 29:28that Mark Luke and John the same. This
- 29:30is what you need to do. What you need to
- 29:31do is demonstrate that the kingdom that
- 29:33Jesus talks about that he's given to
- 29:35another people when he says the same
- 29:36thing and he says he's given the kingdom
- 29:38to his disciples that is not the same
- 29:39thing. Demonstrate that. Okay, good. All
- 29:41I have to do is that Daniel is Islam.
- 29:42That's what I have to do. No, the No,
- 29:44you don't. Let's go to Daniel logic. Why
- 29:46won't you go? No, you're running from
- 29:47this. No, I'm exactly on topic. I'm
- 29:49saying that Daniel is listen to the
- 29:51problem that you have. You said I'm not
- 29:53granting that the Gospels are in
- 29:56conformity. Correct. You're saying that
- 29:58they're in contradiction to each other.
- 29:59Correct. Okay. What you need to do is
- 30:02prove it. Good. So, I have to
- 30:04substantiate my ex. Pause. Pause.
- 30:06Demonstrate that the kingdom that Jesus
- 30:08says that he's given to others and that
- 30:11when he says he's given it to his
- 30:12disciples is not the same thing. Okay,
- 30:15good. I'm going to I'm going to what I'm
- 30:16going to do is I'm going to put in a
- 30:17syllogism so maybe logic can actually
- 30:19get it. P1, the kingdom in in the book
- 30:21of Daniel is the same as the one in
- 30:23Matthew. P2, the kingdom in Daniel,
- 30:26granted is going to be Islam. P3,

- 30:33of it. No, no. Which premise exactly?
- 30:34All of them. Wait. So, you disagree?
- 30:36Wait. You disagree that the kingdom in

- 30:58you speak? You did, man. Go ahead. Okay.
- 30:59Thank you. I appreciate it. So, what
- 31:01you're trying to run away from. You
- 31:03quoted Matthew 21, not me. Okay. I
- 31:05didn't go here. You went here. Correct.
- 31:07And then I also gave you an ex an
- 31:09exogetical answer of what the kingdom is
- 31:11based on the New Testament. Correct. Who
- 31:13he's given it to to the disciples. I
- 31:15don't respond. You said, "Well, I don't
- 31:17have to take them as as as uh together
- 31:19in conformity." Conformity. I don't have
- 31:21to take them together. Correct. You're I
- 31:22I think that they're disagreeing.
- 31:24Correct. So, what I said you have to do
- 31:26is prove it. Good. So, show me that the
- 31:30kingdom that Jesus is handing Wait, go
- 31:32ahead. Show me that the kingdom that
- 31:34Jesus is handing to others is not the
- 31:36same kingdom that he's given to the
- 31:38disciples in the New Testament. Show me
- 31:40in the New Testament that it's the
- 31:41difference. Okay, hold on. Why am I
- 31:42being constricted to the New Testament?
- 31:44Because you said it's different. You
- 31:45came here and said it's different. Okay,
- 31:48you answer my question. Why am I being
- 31:49constricted to the New Testament? I'll
- 31:50say it. I'll say it again. logic. Why
- 31:52only the New Testament? Why we go to Say
- 31:53it again. I'll say it again. Okay.
- 31:55Because you quoted Matthew Hold on,
- 31:57please. You quoted Matthew 21? Because
- 32:01you came to the New Testament. Okay,
- 32:02good. And we gave and the answer is in
- 32:05the New Testament. You're saying that
- 32:08it's not the same thing. Okay. But to
- 32:10substantiate that premise, why am I only
- 32:13being restricted to the New Testament
- 32:14framework? Why? Because you quoted the
- 32:16New Testament framework. No, no, I
- 32:17understand I quoted it. But why only the
- 32:19New Testament?
- 32:21I know, but why is he only restricted me
- 32:22to the Old New Testament? Why can't I
- 32:24use the Old and the New? Why? Guys, does
- 32:26it make sense that if he quotes the New
- 32:29Testament, he's bound by the New
- 32:30Testament? No, I'm bound by the Bible.
- 32:32I'm bound by the framework of the Bible.
- 32:34Say that when I ask you to show me that
- 32:36Muhammad is in the New Testament.
- 32:37Correct. You didn't quote the New
- 32:38Testament. I'm going to use Daniel
- 32:40because Daniel is a Daniel is a prophet
- 32:41from God than Old Testament. But is it
- 32:44is he not binding upon you? Hold on a
- 32:45second. Is he not binding? Okay, good.
- 32:47You quote the New Testament and then you
- 32:49say this kingdom is the same kingdom of
- 32:50Daniel. Fine. But according to the New
- 32:53Testament, this kingdom is given to the
- 32:55disciples, right? According to correct.
- 32:57Okay. So according to the New Testament,
- 33:00it can't possibly be Islamic because
- 33:02your accounts are contradictory. Is that
- 33:04correct? If we if we only work by One
- 33:06second, one second. Okay. I'll make it
- 33:07very clear so we don't waste time. If
- 33:09logic only grants me the New Testament
- 33:11framework, I agree. But unfortunately,
- 33:13this conversation isn't only bound by
- 33:15the New Testament logic. You must deal
- 33:16with me and actually go to Daniel. You
- 33:18have to. Okay. I think that you have to
- 33:19deal with me and get some new testament
- 33:21logic. Appreciate it, man. It was good
- 33:23speaking to you. Yeah, good talk, man.
