0:08today. Am I special? You're very
0:10special.
0:11>> Well, they say I have special needs.
0:13Whoa, do they? That's right. Wow. And
0:16thanks for sitting down. Now, some some
0:17people know you as Do you put this
0:19username on your Zoom? Halal Hogan? Do
0:21Is that what you do? That started
0:22because
0:24Sorry. [clears throat]
0:25We ask Holy Spirit, first of all, to
0:26fill you and I and purge us in this
0:28purifying fire and purify us in the
0:30blood of Jesus Christ. I ask Holy Spirit
0:32to give me the health that I need, the
0:34vigor and strength, and the holiness
0:36that we need to glorify Jesus Christ by
0:38the precious blood of Jesus. Holy
0:40Spirit, you are the teacher. Strengthen
0:42my throat. In [clears throat] Jesus'
0:43name. As you can see, brother, I'm not
0:45young. I'm 53. My health is decaying.
0:5020 years ago, I could speak for 9 hours.
0:53My throat would be good. Right now, it's
0:56all the grace of Jesus Christ. It's
0:57always been the grace of Jesus Christ.
0:58But, to come back to what you're asking
0:59me,
1:00Halal Hogan was the name that I adopted
1:04because there was a series we did.
1:06I don't know if you remember the
1:07Islamacize series. Okay. Years
1:10[clears throat] ago, it's actually I
1:11think you can find it
1:13still on YouTube
1:14because they were being deleted cuz
1:16they're too controversial. It was a
1:19series
1:21pretty much a parody off of what a
1:24couple of Muslim converts attempted to
1:26do. There were some who converted to
1:27Islam and they were looking to murder
1:31Robert Spencer and Pam Geller
1:33cuz they had this conference going on
1:36where they were going to
1:38exercise their free speech to criticize
1:40Muhammad. So, these guys went there with
1:42the intention of killing them. They got
1:44killed.
1:45Wow. So, this was a parody on what Islam
1:47does to you. So, you know how you have
1:50Do you have you heard of Super Size Me?
1:53Yeah. Yeah. Well, that's a parody off of
1:54that and parody off of what happened.
1:56So, Islamacize me. What happens to a
1:59person who studies Islam? What happens
2:02to them within 30 days? So, they brought
2:03me in as Halal Hogan
2:05and the Mad Sheikh. You can actually see
2:07it. You can You can put on Halal Hogan
2:10parody or you can put Mad Sheikh and
2:11then you're going to see me. Wow. That's
2:13right. I love it. Well, you a lot of
2:15people I I definitely like younger
2:18people like myself, we see more of like
2:20the the newer more recent like Zoom
2:23conversations that you have, but you've
2:24been doing this for years talking to
2:26Islam. I mean, how long have you been
2:27talking to Muslims and [clears throat] I
2:29went into full-time ministry
2:311999. I had asked the Lord, if you
2:33wanted me to devote myself
2:35to refuting Islam. There was a website
2:37that had just
2:39started. Remember, in the '90s, the
2:41internet was just catching on.
2:43>> [clears throat]
2:43>> '90s, we didn't have
2:46Zoom, we didn't have YouTube, we didn't
2:49have none of that to go live. Everything
2:51[clears throat] was written.
2:53So, you'd start a website, you'd write
2:55an article.
2:56I'd start a website website and either
2:59write an article or respond to yours and
3:00we would go back and forth. So, there
3:01was a brother named Jochen Katz
3:03from Germany
3:05started the Answering Islam website.
3:07People can still go there.
3:09It's the most comprehensive website
3:11refuting Islam, defending Christianity.
3:14He started '98. I joined him in '99. So,
3:17when I asked the Lord, do you want me to
3:18do this full-time?
3:20I asked for a sign, gave me the sign,
3:22never looked back. So, since 1999
3:25I became [clears throat] the chief
3:26writer, not the best writer, but the
3:27chief writer cuz I was doing it
3:29full-time. So, right now with the
3:32articles on the website
3:34and the blog cuz I started a blog
3:36>> [clears throat]
3:37>> someone
3:38calculated that I have 4,200 articles
3:42since 1999. So, 4,000 That's what I I
3:44don't I didn't count. There's a brother
3:46in the Lord Jesus Christ who happens to
3:47be one of my mods for my YouTube
3:48channel.
3:49He said, "You have about 4,200 articles
3:51and rebuttals. So, that's what I've done
3:53since 1999.
3:55>> Wow. Yeah. Oh, praise Jesus. And and and
3:57you
3:58So, how long have you been
4:01following Jesus? How did How did that
4:02occur? How did you
4:05have
4:06begin to believe in Jesus?
4:08My story goes back Well, you have to
4:11start with my ethnicity. I'm
4:12[clears throat] Assyrian, Mhm.
4:14not Syrian, right? When I say Assyrian,
4:17"Oh, you're from Syria?" No.
4:18Assyrian, Ashuraya.
4:21We get our name from our ancestor Ashur.
4:24So, an Assyrian is an Ashuraya, son of
4:26Ashur. Like, you know how Israel? Why
4:28are they called Israel? Cuz their
4:30father, Jacob, his name was
4:31[clears throat] Israel. These are
4:33descendants of Israel. So, Ashur's found
4:35in Genesis chapter 10,
4:3721 and 22.
4:38If you go there, the sons of Shem,
4:41one of his sons is Ashur.
4:44That's the ancestor of my people. So,
4:45that's why we're called Semites.
4:48Semites, descendants of Shem, Sam,
4:51Semites. So, Semite means a descendant
4:53of Shem. Wow.
4:55So, Assyrians are descendants of Shem.
4:58You have various strands of Arabs that
5:00would also be descendants of Shem, but
5:02not all Arabs would be. But,
5:03nonetheless,
5:04not to not to belabor the point. So, I'm
5:06Assyrian. If you look at the history of
5:09the spread of Christianity and
5:11conversion of the Christian faith,
5:13Assyrians are one of the first people to
5:15convert to Christianity.
5:16Their conversion starts in the first
5:18century,
5:19right? So,
5:20Assyrians heard the gospel,
5:23converted,
5:25and so they took on
5:27Christianity as their religion.
5:29I was born to an Assyrian Christian
5:32family.
5:33Now, the church that my family's
5:34affiliated with is called the Assyrian
5:37Church of the East.
5:39Look it up. Ancient [clears throat]
5:40church. In fact, at one time in history,
5:43I would say
5:45perhaps by the 8th century, 700s, it was
5:48the largest denomination of Christians
5:51the world over. Assyrians even went as
5:53far as India and China and converted
5:56people to the Christian faith. So, but
5:57when you read history books, the church
6:00is called the Nestorian Church, even
6:02though they're not Nestorians.
6:04Nonetheless, that's the label given to
6:05them.
6:06I was born into that
6:08>> [clears throat]
6:09>> background, baptized as an infant, but
6:11nonetheless, my parents didn't teach me
6:13the Christian faith.
6:14There was a 9-year-old
6:16boy,
6:17Assyrian from Lebanon.
6:20His grandmother was a devout, godly
6:22Catholic woman. His uncles on his
6:25mother's side, Baptist, so they taught
6:27him, you know, to preach and evangelize.
6:29So, this 9-year-old evangelized me when
6:31I was 6 and 1/2. Wow.
6:33>> And he's the one who introduced me to
6:34who Jesus was, not my parents. My
6:36parents, though Christian
6:38by name, they didn't teach me the
6:40Christian faith. He did. So, at 6 and
6:421/2, I was introduced to Jesus being the
6:44son of God. Fast forward, teenage years,
6:47became rebellious, fell away, but then
6:49right before I turned 20,
6:52returned to my Christian roots.
6:54So, I started reading the Bible again,
6:56and then my journey began when I
6:57interacted with Muslims, and then the
7:00rest is history. I went into full-time
7:01ministry, apologetics. Wow. Now, why why
7:04Islam? Why you you
7:06That's not the only thing that you you
7:09you focus on and and those aren't the
7:10only people that you conversate with,
7:12but that seems to be
7:13um
7:14something that you're passionate about.
7:16You're zealous about reaching the
7:17Muslims. Is that [clears throat] because
7:18of an ethnic thing? Like what what what
7:21what is that? I'm not so much passionate
7:23about reaching Muslims. I don't I'm not
7:25saying I'm not passionate about reaching
7:27them. Of course, I want Muslims to get
7:29saved.
7:30My passion about Islam wasn't so much
7:34because I wanted to convert Muslims. And
7:36of course, I do want to convert them.
7:38Their religion [clears throat] is false.
7:39Muhammad is an antichrist.
7:41The reason why I became passionate about
7:43Islam is because when I returned to my
7:45Christian roots,
7:48I had [clears throat] an encounter with
7:49a Muslim apologist. Now, if I were to
7:51just backtrack a little bit,
7:53as I was coming back to Christianity, I
7:54was introduced to Islam here in the
7:57West.
7:58So, that's another irony.
8:00>> [clears throat]
8:00>> Though my parents, sorry.
8:02Takes a while for my throat to warm up.
8:04Don't take advantage of your youth,
8:06friend.
8:07I want to see how you're going to be
8:08when you're 53 years old.
8:09>> I'm drinking the electrolytes right now.
8:11>> Well, hey man, as long as it's
8:13electrifying. All I can say is, will you
8:14still have your hair when you're 53? I I
8:16pray to God I will have my hair. I don't
8:18I've got an egg-shaped head under here.
8:20So, if I lose my hair, it's it's bad.
8:22You You have like the perfect head shape
8:25for no hair. Like I don't have the
8:27perfect head shape for no hair. So, like
8:28if I shave my head, it wouldn't look
8:30good.
8:30>> Brother, but then you can audition for
8:32Batman, egghead.
8:33>> [laughter]
8:34>> Hey, thank you. Thank you. Egghead? Oh,
8:36you I thought you meant I was going to
8:37be Bathead Batman, not egghead.
8:39>> If you watch Batman, one of the villains
8:40was egghead, bro.
8:42>> You're making up but Hey, thank you.
8:45>> [laughter]
8:45>> Bald is beautiful, and eggs are
8:47beautiful. In fact, eggs are high
8:48protein. They You're right.
8:50>> Don't knock it till you try it. But, so
8:52coming back to the issue,
8:53what was I talking about? Yeah, okay.
8:55So, even though my family's from the
8:56Middle East,
8:58they never told me about the religion of
9:00their neighbors because my parents are
9:02from Iraq.
9:04I was born in Kuwait. Uh-huh.
9:06But, they never told me about Islam. I
9:08learned about Islam here in Chicago. In
9:11Chicago, I was introduced to Islam by a
9:12member of the Nation of Islam, and he
9:14blew me away, gave me a Quran, and I was
9:16really confused. Started
9:19studying
9:20>> [clears throat]
9:20>> Malcolm X.
9:22Read his autobiography, and I got really
9:24more confused. Like, wow, this religion,
9:26maybe there's something to it.
9:27But, I went back to the New Testament,
9:29fell in love with Jesus Christ, and I
9:30had a friend who was a Muslim that I
9:31witnessed to.
9:32He started liking Christianity, but he
9:34brought [clears throat] in his Muslim
9:35friends, and we had debates. I was
9:37green, they were green. Didn't know much
9:39about Christianity. They didn't know
9:41much about Islam. They brought in
9:43apologist to tear me to shreds and
9:44humiliate me.
9:46So then I cried out to the Lord. I go,
9:48"Lord, if you give me answers to the
9:50objections, I promise to commit myself
9:53by the grace of the Holy Spirit,
9:54obviously. I can't do it without the
9:56Spirit.
9:57To never allow any Christians to be
9:59humiliated by Muslims again.
10:01That's what started my journey. So my
10:03passion
10:04and I don't want people to misunderstand
10:06me.
10:06>> [clears throat]
10:06>> I want everyone to come to know Jesus
10:08Christ cuz he is the only hope of
10:09salvation. Christ is real.
10:11Without Jesus, there is no salvation. So
10:13everyone needs the Lord. Muslims need
10:16the Lord.
10:17But my passion
10:18started with making sure Christians are
10:21equipped
10:22so that no Christian gets humiliated,
10:24embarrassed, no Christian start, you
10:27know, starts losing his or her faith,
10:30that they are strengthened in their
10:31faith. So my passion is first equip the
10:34body of Christ. And then reach out to
10:37those who are not part of the body of
10:38Christ. So there is my passion. That's
10:40why over 90% of my material
10:42is not really focused on Islam. It's
10:44focused on the core Christian doctrines.
10:46>> Wow.
10:47Why do we believe in the Trinity? Why do
10:49we believe Jesus God in the flesh? Why
10:50do we believe in the message of
10:51salvation? What These are the focuses
10:54of my ministry because these are the
10:56main areas that the Muslims will attack.
10:58Wow. Yeah, Islam is is interesting to me
11:01because at least here in the West
11:04we I like I got I I get to grow up in a
11:06country freedom of religion. I can walk
11:08in the street and be like, "I'm a
11:09Christian." And some people be like,
11:10"Yeah, whatever." Some people be like,
11:11"Oh, cool, you know, whatever whatever
11:13it may be."
11:14But but for the Muslim
11:16it's like their blood.
11:18It's their heritage. It's not like a
11:20It's not like a attachment to their
11:22life. It's just who they are. So just
11:25from the from the little that I've been
11:27able to encounter
11:29one of the reasons why it appears to me
11:31it seems so hard for a Muslim to just
11:33turn from Islam.
11:34>> Yeah. Is because they're like, "Well, my
11:36family and my friends and my all this."
11:40So, if you were navigating a
11:42conversation with a Muslim and they were
11:43like, "Ah, you know, I you're you're
11:45getting me, you're reaching me, but like
11:47right now I just don't my family, my
11:49friends."
11:49>> you have to pay?
11:51It's not just Muslims. If you
11:53um survey the landscape, you have a lot
11:56of people who are Christians because of
11:57their particular ethnic group. For
11:59example, if you're Greek,
12:02most likely you are Eastern Orthodox.
12:04Mhm.
12:04Assyrian, most likely you're Assyrian
12:06Church of the East.
12:08So, it's not just
12:10Muslims per se,
12:12a lot of ethnic groups,
12:15part of their identity is the religion
12:17that their ancestors adopted. Mhm.
12:20So, when you talk about Muslims, so for
12:22example, not all Pakistanis are Muslims,
12:24but large number would be Muslims. Not
12:27all Arabs are Muslims. There's a lot of
12:29Arabs who are Christians. In fact,
12:32Egypt, lot of people may not know this,
12:34Egypt is not
12:36they're not Arabs and they're not part
12:37of Arabia.
12:38You know what
12:39continent Egypt is a part of? What are
12:41they? Africa.
12:43Yeah. Wow.
12:44>> Egypt is African. But why do we
12:46associate that with Islam? Because we
12:48think, you know, they're Muslims,
12:49they're Arabs.
12:50>> Yeah.
12:50And originally Egyptians, they were
12:53Christians. Yeah. When Islam came and
12:55took over,
12:56a [clears throat] lot of them were
12:57forced to convert. But my point is,
13:01most groups
13:03are born into a particular religious
13:06expression.
13:07Even in the West, if you're born
13:10in America,
13:12most likely until I mean now recent
13:14times, obviously, but if you look back
13:1550, 60 years, if you're born in America,
13:18you were definitely part of some
13:19Christian group. Yeah. Right? So,
13:22>> Yeah.
13:23ethnicity and religion sometimes they
13:25just go hand in hand. Now, coming back
13:27to your question. Yes, it's going to be
13:29hard to dislodge a Muslim
13:32from Islam because
13:34his particular culture,
13:37his ethnic group,
13:39their identity is tied in with their
13:41religion.
13:43So, he is or she is born a Muslim
13:45because their parents are Muslims and
13:47their parents were Muslims and their
13:48parents were Muslims. Why? Because at
13:50some point Islam came,
13:53conquered a particular area,
13:55and forced mass conversions, right? So,
13:58when you leave Islam, you're not just
14:01leaving a religion. You're leaving
14:03You're leaving behind your culture and
14:05your
14:06>> [clears throat]
14:07>> ethnic identity. So, it comes at a
14:09price, but
14:11my question to them would be, if you go
14:13back into your own history, there was a
14:16time in which even your culture had to
14:19become Muslim,
14:20right? And because
14:22Islam hasn't been there since the dawn
14:23of man. Started, if we go with the
14:25traditional Islamic narrative, started
14:27in the 7th century, 600s. So, when it
14:30spread its rule all over the world, it
14:33encountered people who had a different
14:35religion.
14:36So, I'm pretty certain they would have
14:37said the same thing. Well, I can't
14:39become Muslim because then I lose my
14:41family,
14:42but you believe they made the right
14:43choice when they became Muslim.
14:45And they're willing to
14:47>> [clears throat]
14:47>> pay the price cuz the sacrifice was
14:50worth it. They're leaving their identity
14:54as a culture
14:57was
14:58worth that sacrifice
15:01for eternal life.
15:03So, this is what I would tell them,
15:04basically. So, some point in time, your
15:07ancestors were not Muslims. Do you think
15:09they made the right decision from
15:11turning their back against their
15:12religion that was tied in with their
15:14particular culture or ethnic group? For
15:16instance, for instance, the Persians.
15:19Their religion is Zoroastrianism.
15:21Mhm.
15:21>> [clears throat]
15:21>> They are what we today call
15:24Zoroastrians.
15:25That was their religion, their identity.
15:27Zoroastrianism is an is an ancient
15:29religion that predates
15:31the coming [clears throat] of the Lord
15:32Jesus Christ. So, when the Persians
15:34became Muslim, I'm not going to say
15:36forced conversion. Yeah. Cuz they don't
15:37believe that there. No, Islam is
15:39peaceful, yeah.
15:40Islam is the religion of peace and that
15:42they'll have a piece of you here and a
15:43piece of you there. So, it's a religion
15:44of pieces, right?
15:45>> Right. Yeah. Don't be politically
15:46correct, man. You're right. You are
15:48right.
15:48>> So, but yeah. How dare you say that's
15:50not Islam? You're just, you know,
15:51Islamophobe. It is it is not. No, it's
15:53not a religion of the peace
15:55is not a religion of peace and and I
15:57think I think not to cut you off, but
15:59like what we're seeing in America
16:02Islam in America
16:04is not real Islam. It's not. I like when
16:07I'm looking at
16:08>> Well, let me clarify that.
16:10If you study the history of Muhammad
16:13Muhammad's evolution. If you look at his
16:15evolution from
16:17him starting off claiming to be a
16:19prophet to them becoming a warlord. This
16:21is Islam depending on what stage you
16:24find Muslims in. Mhm. So,
16:26>> [clears throat]
16:27>> I like to break down this the stage of
16:30Islamic expansion
16:32in three. Some will do four.
16:34First stage is when you're outnumbered.
16:37And by the way, this is reflected in the
16:38Quran. If people want to know the Quran
16:41and understand its historical context
16:43>> [clears throat]
16:43>> you need a good commentary to explain to
16:45you
16:46which chapters of the Quran were
16:48composed where.
16:51Because the chapters of the Quran are
16:52divided into two periods, the Meccan
16:55period, the Medinan period. The Mecci
16:59Medani.
17:00The Meccan period is when Muhammad was
17:03outnumbered.
17:04From around 610, excuse me, because See
17:07man, I'm telling you, bro, you still
17:09remember water, dude. Shoot. There you
17:10go.
17:11>> your bodyguard? I got water here. Is
17:12that your bodyguard there? You should
17:13Hey guys, you can't see his bodyguard,
17:14[laughter] man.
17:15He would put the fear of God in Arnold
17:17Schwarzenegger.
17:19By the way, the camera adds 10 lb. I got
17:21six cameras on me.
17:22All right, no matter. [laughter]
17:23But, coming back Yeah, so coming back to
17:26the issue of
17:28whether this is real Islam or not. It
17:30is, depending on what stage.
17:32So, when Muhammad claimed to be a
17:33prophet in 610 AD in Mecca, he was
17:36outnumbered by the disbelievers.
17:38They're the ones who had the power, they
17:39had the money, they had the
17:41>> [clears throat]
17:42>> control.
17:43During that stage, the message of Islam
17:46was more one one of more let's preach
17:49and see who's right, but if you
17:51disagree, to your religion to my
17:53religion. That's stage one.
17:56So, when he said it's not real Islam,
17:58well, they're in the same circumstances
18:00Muhammad was when he was outnumbered.
18:02So, what part of Islam will they
18:05implement? Stage one.
18:07When
18:08>> Wow. the people in control, in charge,
18:13outnumber the Muslims, and the Muslims
18:15have no means of subjugating the people
18:18and taking control of their economics,
18:20politics, and
18:23every other aspect of society. So, this
18:26is Islam in stage one.
18:28Wow.
18:29From 610 to around 622,
18:32Muhammad or 623, they'll say, 13 years,
18:36was living in that context of being
18:38outnumbered. So, if you read the chapter
18:40of the Quran composed during that
18:41period,
18:42you'll find very little on
18:45fight those who fight you, very little
18:48on fight those who don't
18:51very little, if at all.
18:53Then he migrates to Medina. This is all
18:54in Arabia. Medina's to the north.
18:57Now, he becomes the head of state. Now,
18:58stage two. Fight those who fight you and
19:01oppress you. Self-defense stage.
19:05Fast forward 2 years before he dies, he
19:06conquers the entire Arabian Peninsula.
19:10All of Arabia's is his control. Now, he
19:11has a huge military base. He now
19:14controls the economics. Now is stage
19:17three, expand Islam militarily,
19:20politically. Mhm.
19:22So when you say this is not real Islam,
19:23no, it is real Islam because of the
19:25stage in which Muslims are. Now, if you
19:27want to see this
19:28paradigm played out,
19:30look at
19:32the different areas of the world, see if
19:35the Muslims are in the majority or not.
19:37If they are,
19:38it will be stage three.
19:40Stage three means that they're in
19:41control. Yeah.
19:42>> They're the ones who can tell you what
19:43you do and you cannot do.
19:45If they have a large number, stage two.
19:49Islamophobia, you're robbing us of our
19:50rights and you're not letting our women,
19:53you know, put on the veil and we have a
19:54right to now attack.
19:56When they're minority, stage one. So
19:58look around the demographics and see
20:02which country
20:04will you find Muslims implementing which
20:07stage? So in America, what stage would
20:09they be implementing? One-ish
20:11>> One-ish, right? Getting to two, right?
20:13>> Yep. What about certain pockets in
20:15England? Oh, it's like two right now.
20:17>> Two. Yeah. What about Muslim majority
20:19country? That's three.
20:21>> Yeah. See how it works? So it's not that
20:23it's not real Islam. It is real Islam
20:26depending on your context. Woah. Each
20:28one of these stages reflect a stage in
20:30Muhammad's development. So
20:33I mean, yeah, I mean you're you're
20:34looking in the pockets of Europe. I I
20:36was thinking about that right before you
20:37asked like the political power that
20:39they've obtained.
20:41I once once they get a little bit of
20:43that, they you can't get back. Friend,
20:45did you see what they just did in Times
20:47Square for Ramadan? Yeah.
20:49They [clears throat] took it over.
20:51With the permission of the mayor,
20:54the city with police protection.
20:57They took over the whole of Times Square
20:58to pray to their pagan god, their false
21:00god.
21:01This is the thing.
21:04Because we pride ourselves on freedom of
21:07religion
21:08and freedom of assembly.
21:10If we
21:12restrict those rights to Muslims, then
21:14the same liberals will then say, "Then
21:16we'll restrict them for you."
21:18So, we're in a position damned if you
21:20do, damned if you don't. If I don't want
21:22them to assemble and I don't want them
21:24to gather
21:26because I'm afraid of Islamic takeover,
21:29that means I'm asking for their freedom
21:32of religious expression and assembly to
21:34be restricted. But then
21:37what stops the politicians to then
21:40restrict your freedom as a Christian
21:42from assembling and expressing yourself?
21:44So, you're in a very bad position. If
21:46you're pushing for them to be censored,
21:48then they're going to censor you.
21:50But if you don't push for them to be
21:51censored, then they're going to take
21:53control slowly but surely.
21:55Yeah, I mean, you tell me. Do you want
21:57them to stop assembling? They'll say,
21:59"All right, we got to be fair. Then we
22:00got to stop all religious groups to
22:02assemble."
22:03You don't want them to preach Islam?
22:05Then we got to be fair. We got to now
22:06restrict all groups from preaching their
22:09message.
22:10So, you're in a situation you don't win.
22:13Yeah, that's sad. That is. That's the
22:15reality of America. It's not the America
22:16of your grandparents, by the way.
22:17>> the response then? What Is Is there a
22:20better option? There's no human
22:22solution. I don't want to sound like a
22:24pessimist cuz I've
22:26thought about it.
22:28I really, again, I don't want to sound
22:30pessimistic cuz I'm not cuz Jesus is
22:31Lord. He is. He's alive. Muhammad is
22:34dead. Jesus is almighty.
22:36But we know that it's going to be very
22:39dark
22:40before the Lord
22:42descends. In fact, they say
22:44it's darkest right before the dawn.
22:47Before dawn breaks
22:49it gets very dark. Jesus is the dawn
22:51that breaks through the darkness and
22:52destroys it. So, I expect, this is just
22:55me, my understanding of scripture, I
22:56could be wrong, it's going to get worse
22:59until the Lord descends. And only Jesus
23:01has a solution to this problem.
23:03Your politics ain't going to solve it.
23:05Your economics ain't going to solve it.
23:07None of this can solve it. And if we're
23:09going to be realistic,
23:12we're not going to have almost some
23:13converting.
23:14Right? Because if you believe that the
23:15Lord Jesus doesn't compel people to
23:17accept him, that means until the Lord
23:20returns, because people have the right
23:23to choose and the Lord doesn't compel
23:25people to accept him, not everyone's
23:27going to accept Christianity. Mhm. So,
23:30we're going to be living with the
23:31children of Satan. And this is actually
23:33in one of Jesus' parables.
23:35If you go to Matthew 13:24-30,
23:38he talks about an owner of a field
23:39planting good seed, and his enemy at
23:41night came and planted bad seed,
23:43tares among the wheats.
23:45So, then the servants came saying,
23:47"Look, your enemy came at night and
23:48planted tares. What should we do?" He
23:50goes, "Wait till the harvest,
23:52because in the beginning stages, you
23:53can't tell the difference between the
23:55wheat and the tare. Certain type type of
23:56wheat and tare and that
23:59geographical location looks identical in
24:00the beginning stages. It's until
24:02harvest, then you can
24:04distinguish." He goes, "Wait till the
24:06harvest, lest you accidentally pluck out
24:09the wheat the the wheat."
24:12Then he explains it, Matthew 13:36-43.
24:15He goes, "The owner of the field is the
24:16son of man, Jesus.
24:18The field is the world. The good seed
24:20are the children of the kingdom,
24:21children of God.
24:22The enemy is the devil. His seed are the
24:24children of the devil.
24:26So, the Lord says, "The harvest is when
24:28the son of man returns at the end to
24:30judge." So, he just told you you're
24:32going to live with children of Satan
24:33until he returns.
24:35He says that in the parable.
24:37You cannot get rid of the children of
24:39Satan. The Lord says they will be among
24:41you in your midst in the world till the
24:45son of man returns and the day of
24:46judgment. So, how are you going to get
24:47rid of them?
24:48Wow. You
24:49>> do it, man. Dang.
24:51It's so interesting and fascinating.
24:53Yeah, I like that perspective that you
24:54shared of
24:56uh
24:57not really It's not. It's just different
25:00stages. Um
25:02Yeah, that that's so fascinating to me.
25:04I want to rewind back to Muhammad. Well,
25:06Muhammad Because [laughter] I I I
25:09I
25:10he I have so many questions about this
25:13dude. How many hours you got? Shoot.
25:15>> [laughter]
25:16>> We got all the time in the world.
25:18>> So, Muhammad Yes. The little I'll tell
25:22Let me share the little I know about
25:23Muhammad and then you correct where I've
25:26disorganized and and what's what's right
25:28and what's wrong.
25:30Muhammad gets a revelation in a cave, no
25:34eyewitnesses
25:35>> Yeah. and then his wife convinces him
25:37that he's a prophet sent from God, but
25:39he he was going to
25:42He thought a He thought a demon was
25:44interacting with him. Can you Can you
25:46explain that whole If you
25:47[clears throat] go with the Sunni By the
25:49way, we got to mention that the largest
25:52group of Muslims in the world
25:54are the Sunni
25:56branch of Islam. The second largest
25:58would be the Shia.
26:00So, the Shia are not as numerous, but
26:03they are the second largest group. What
26:06divides them is really political.
26:08I just want to let you know that so when
26:10I talk about
26:12Muslims
26:13I'm talking specifically about Sunni
26:15Muslims. We have to be careful cuz there
26:17are some Muslims that are Quran only.
26:19So, what I'm going to tell you they
26:20reject cuz they don't believe in what
26:21they call the Hadith. Hadith is a report
26:24attributed to Muhammad or his
26:25companions, right? So,
26:27Quran only Muslims say we don't care
26:28about Hadith. The Shia have their own
26:30Hadiths.
26:31Right? So, the Hadiths that I'm
26:33mentioning are those accepted by
26:36the largest group of Muslims in the
26:38world, the Sunni Muslims, right? And
26:39they come from what they would call
26:41Sahih Sitta. Not trying to sound
26:43impressive. I like Arabic. Sadly, the
26:46Muslims monopolize it, but Arabic was
26:48created to be used to glorify the Lord
26:50Jesus Christ, the God of all nations,
26:52the God of all Arabs. He owns them all,
26:53he loves them all. And we will
26:56reclaim Arabic for the glory of Jesus
26:58Christ cuz all nations and all tongues
27:00must praise him. Daniel 7:13 and 14.
27:03Yep. Revelation 5, right? 8 to 14. I
27:05just want to know you know your Bible.
27:07By the way, do you know what Acts
27:08chapter 29 verse 20 says? I do not. Cuz
27:11there's no Acts 29.
27:13Fist bump. Come on. Hey. Wait a second.
27:15Amen.
27:16>> [laughter]
27:16>> Wait a second. See, that's why you don't
27:18know it cuz you know your Bible. That's
27:19why you made Wait. You found the lost
27:21manuscript, but coming back tomorrow.
27:22>> [laughter]
27:23>> You found the lost manuscript. So,
27:24according to the most authentic
27:26collection of narrations
27:29attributed to Muhammad from the Sunni
27:30paradigm
27:32Sahih Bukhari Sahih meaning sound
27:34Al-Bukhari, a man named Al-Bukhari
27:36collected
27:38what he deemed to be the most authentic
27:41narrations. And that was his best
27:42friend, right?
27:43>> Bukhari comes
27:459th century, 800s. Muhammad said you're
27:47talking about Abu Bakr. Yes. Abu Bakr
27:49as-Siddiq.
27:50He was Muhammad's best friend according
27:52to the Sunni narrative, not the Shia.
27:54Got you.
27:55Who married
27:56his daughter off to Muhammad. She was
27:57six and then nine when they consummated
27:59the marriage.
27:59>> get to that. She was married. What? It
28:01was acceptable back then, hater. Oh.
28:04Right. Right.
28:06So, he claims that as he was fasting
28:10and there are the traditions say that he
28:11was observing Ramadan some traditions
28:15and a spirit appeared to him. The spirit
28:17told him read or recite because the
28:19Arabic word for read or recite
28:22Iqra can mean read or recite. It depends
28:25on the context. So, if you have a book
28:26and I say Iqra, that means a read. Or I
28:28can say Iqra and then I'll recite words
28:30meaning now repeat after me. Got you.
28:32So, according to tradition, the spirit
28:34says to him read or recite.
28:36There's a debate because there are some
28:38narrations that are contradictory, but
28:39we'll go with the
28:41the popular and the
28:43normative understanding.
28:45He said to him read. Muhammad said I
28:47don't know how to read." So, the spirit
28:49squeezed him to the point that Muhammad
28:51This is actually For those listening
28:53online, you go to sunnah.com s u n n a h
28:57dot com. It has all the major
29:00Hadith collections Wow. that are
29:02translated in English available online

29:06don't even have need to buy the books.
29:07In the '90s, you had to go buy books.
29:09I'm broke, man. If I had internet, I
29:11would have had at least a million bucks
29:13and buy me a house, dude. Still living
29:14in an apartment, haters. But anyway. So,
29:18you go to sunnah.com. It's volume one
29:22number three of Sahih al-Bukhari. Sahih
29:24al-Bukhari volume one.
29:25>> it up? It's up to you if you want to.
29:27Can we pull Can we pull it up? It was
29:28sunnah.
29:28>> sunnah.com s u n n a h dot
29:31>> Yeah,
29:32s u n n a h dot com.
29:34And then you can read off the screen.
29:35You see where it says Sahih al-Bukhari?
29:37Yep. Click that one, the first one on
29:39the left. Down to your left, right
29:40there. Yeah.
29:41>> Click where it says revelation, number
29:43one up top.
29:45Go to number three. You can read if you
29:46want. I can't see it. Right there, that
29:48one, right there. That one. Can you read
29:49it?
29:49>> Yep. Read it slowly. The commencement of
29:51the divine inspiration to Allah's
29:54messenger
29:55was in the form of good dreams, which
29:57came true like bright daylight, and then
29:59the love of seclusion was bestowed upon
30:02him. He used to go into seclusion in the
30:04in the cave of Hira, [snorts] where he
30:06used to worship Allah alone continuously
30:09for many days before his desire to see
30:11his family. He used to take with him the
30:13journey of food for the stay then come
30:14back to his wife uh Khadijah to take his
30:17food likewise again till suddenly the
30:19truth descended upon him while he was in
30:21the cave of Hira. The angel came to him
30:23and asked him to read. The prophet
30:25replied, "I do not know how to read."
30:28Yep. The prophet added, "The angel
30:30caught me forcefully and pressed me so
30:33hard that I could not bear it anymore."
30:35Now, you understand before you continue
30:37reading.
30:38The spirit is spiritually
30:41violating him cuz
30:43he felt like he was going to die. But
30:45notice how many times the spirit's going
30:47to now violate him psychologically. And
30:49it gets him to want to commit suicide.
30:50Now watch. That was the first time he
30:52did it, right?
30:52>> Wow, yep.
30:53>> Then he released me and again asked me
30:55to read and I replied, I do not know how
30:57to read.
30:58>> You would think that the angel already
31:00know that Muhammad can't read.
31:02Right? If Allah's sending him, does
31:03Allah know the
31:05condition of this man? That he's
31:06illiterate? Yeah. So why ask him to do
31:09something he can't do and then torture
31:10him for not doing it?
31:11>> Yeah. See, Islam itself is just demonic
31:15at its core, irrational, incoherent,
31:18unintelligible. But now watch what
31:19happens. So he asked him again, "Read."
31:21"I don't know how to read." So what did
31:21he do?
31:23And then it says that uh
31:25the angel came to him and asked him to
31:27read.
31:28He did it again. It says, "Therefore, he
31:29caught me up for a third time and
31:31pressed me and then released me and
31:32said, 'Read in the name of your Lord.'"
31:34>> So he tortured him three times.
31:38Three times. And after the third time,
31:40after pressing the life out of him to
31:41the point he thought,
31:43"I want to be killed."
31:45Then he says, "Recite
31:47the first three verses of chapter 96,
31:50Surat al-Alaq, right?" Mhm. The surah,
31:52chapter of the clot. Yeah. So he said,
31:54"Now repeat after me."
31:55Now what happens though? Keep reading.
31:58Keep reading.
31:59He says, "Read, and your Lord is the
32:01most generous." Then Allah's messenger
32:03returned with the inspiration with his
32:05heart beating severely. Then he went to
32:08Khadijah
32:09>> bin Khuwaylid and said, "Cover me, cover
32:11me." In other words, you know how the
32:13when a child's afraid of the boogeyman,
32:14what do they do?
32:16Yeah.
32:16>> They run under the covers, right?
32:17>> Yep. He's so petrified and horrified
32:21that he asked his wife to cover him from
32:23the boogeyman, and he's shivering.
32:26Uh-huh. "Hide me from him."
32:28So what happens? Now watch. "Cover me,
32:30cover me." They covered him till his
32:32fear was over and after that, he told
32:34her everything that had happened and
32:36said, "I fear that something may happen
32:38to me."
32:39>> No, all the reports say, "I think I'm
32:41demon-possessed." He says majnun.
32:43Majnun means possessed of a jinn. Now,
32:45before you don't lose your place cuz I'm
32:47going to show you.
32:48In Islam, you know you don't just have
32:50angels, you also have a class of
32:53creatures called jinn.
32:56Okay. You know what jinn are? No.
32:58Genies.
32:59Interesting. That's what a jinn is, is a
33:01genie. So, have you ever wondered, you
33:03and your bodyguard over here that
33:04handsome man, are you making me look
33:05skinny, by the way? Yes.
33:07Because I gained 30 lbs. I'm trying to
33:09go on 97. Make sure my love handles
33:12I'm going to get the jinn to come and
33:13squeeze you. All right, but coming back
33:15to the issue.
33:18Have you ever wondered, you and your
33:19bodyguard over here who guards that body
33:21of yours so that your wife knows that
33:22you're safe?
33:24Have you ever wondered why genies look
33:25like Arabs?
33:28Have you looked like like Aladdin and
33:30the magic lamp? They look like Arabs,
33:31don't they? They do. Why? Because it
33:33comes out of Islam, an Arab-Arabic
33:35religion. Wow.
33:36>> So, what you think are mythical
33:37creatures, Islam says, "No, they're real
33:39beings."
33:40Interesting.
33:41>> Genies actually exist. Now, let me just
33:42before you finish it, I'm going to
33:44explain the difference
33:45between angels, genies, and humans.
33:48Genies, like humans, can cohabit and
33:50have sex. In fact, genies can also have
33:53sex with humans and get them pregnant.
33:56Genies also are shapeshifters.
33:58Though they die, they live much longer
34:00than humans and have abilities humans
34:02don't have. Genies, like humans, have
34:04the power to choose a religion. Mhm. So,
34:06in Islam, there are good genies and bad
34:08genies. The good genies are those who
34:10are Muslim. The bad genies are the
34:12Christian genies or the Jewish genie.
34:14Yeah, it's Islam. There are genies who
34:16follow Judaism. Now,
34:19Satan
34:21is a genie in Islam. Chapter 18, verse
34:2450,
34:25it says Satan, whose name is Iblis, he's
34:27a genie.
34:29So,
34:31we are taught that Satan is an angel.
34:33They are taught Satan is a genie.
34:36Interesting. Yep, that's the
34:37>> But now now you mentioned before we
34:39continue reading that um
34:42these genies Yes. they can have sex with
34:45humans.
34:45>> Yes, club it.
34:47That sounds a lot similar to
34:49>> to the Nephilim?
34:50>> the Nephilim.
34:51>> Yes, precisely. Do you Do you have any
34:53thoughts about any correlation there or
34:55>> I I don't know enough about the
34:57>> [clears throat]
34:57>> spirit realm to deny that they can do it
34:59till this day. What do I mean? If you
35:00read Genesis 6:1-4,
35:03if you go to the ancient reading, the
35:05reading the oldest reading of who the
35:07sons of God were, these were angelic
35:09creatures
35:10that came down, materialized a human
35:12form, and got women pregnant.
35:15Today you have people who say that's not
35:16possible. Well, I'd ask them, "How do
35:18you know that much about the spirit
35:20realm? Have you been there?
35:22Have you talked to an angel to see what
35:23he can or cannot do? Cuz angels are
35:25created with potencies and abilities
35:28that we don't have because we lost them
35:30in the fall. When Adam and Eve sinned,
35:32the glory that we had that made us
35:34greater than angelic creatures, we lost,
35:36but now it's restored in Jesus Christ
35:37our Lord.
35:39So, we need to be humble, not presume we
35:41know more about the spirit realm than we
35:43do.
35:44A lot of people speak as if they've been
35:45there and had tea with Gabriel and came
35:47down told us, "No, Gabriel
35:49So, the oldest interpretation of Genesis
35:526 is that these were angels. So, they
35:53could materialize bodies,
35:56and in those bodies, they didn't become
35:58human, they didn't become flesh.
36:01Incarnate is the term.
36:02>> Yeah. But they could appear in a body so
36:04real, a human body, you could touch the
36:06body, it felt real.
36:08They could eat. And one proof of that is
36:10in Genesis 18.
36:11It says, "Abraham looked up, saw three
36:13men, one of whom was God." Three men.
36:17Mhm. Some say all three were the
36:19Godhead. Nonetheless,
36:21we'll go with the popular understanding
36:23that one of the three, this is in
36:24Genesis 18, one of the three men, he saw
36:27three men walking. One was God, the
36:29other two were angels.
36:30It says they sat down,
36:32they had feet that could be washed with
36:34water, and they ate food.
36:37Wow. God and the two angels. It says
36:39they he cooked food for them.
36:42They ate it in front of him. They ate
36:44food sitting down, and he brought water
36:46for their feet to wash. Now, God hasn't
36:49always been flesh. So, during this time,
36:51God wasn't flesh. He didn't become a
36:53man. If these are created spirit beings,
36:55they're not flesh by nature, but they
36:57could assume a human form, a human body,
37:00so real that you can touch it, and it
37:03feels just as solid as your body.
37:05They could eat food, drink, and have
37:08their feet washed. Interesting.
37:10>> That's in Genesis 18. So, we got to be
37:12careful in presuming to know more about
37:14the spirit realm than we do. So, when
37:17they tell me, "Angel" and then they'll
37:18misquote Luke 20:34-36. It says, "Well,
37:21it says in the age to come and the
37:24resurrection, those are the sons of the
37:25resurrection, will neither marry nor be
37:28given in marriage. They'll be like
37:29angels, and they will not die."
37:32Well, number one, it says you'll be like
37:33angels in that you won't die.
37:35Angels aren't don't die unless you're
37:37Satan, and then you're destroyed in
37:39eternal fire. But secondly,
37:42that's talking about when they're in
37:44their natural realm. Meaning be if
37:46they're in the spirit realm,
37:49they don't have sex, but that's the
37:51point of Genesis 6. They didn't do in
37:53the spirit realm. They came to the
37:54earthly realm to do it. So, that in
37:56itself does not refute that
37:57interpretation. I say this because if
38:00you follow that the Nephilim
38:02are the hybrid offspring
38:05of these sons of God and daughters of
38:08men,
38:10not only were they there before the
38:12flood, they were there after the flood.
38:15Mhm. Because it says it. Yeah.
38:17They were there in days of Noah and
38:18afterwards. That's Genesis 6:4. But then
38:20And Numbers 13:31-33,
38:22it says, "When the 12 spies went and
38:26scouted the land
38:27>> Mhm.
38:28to see how beautiful Canaan was, they
38:29came back, "Oh man, it's a land flowing
38:31with milk and honey. It's beautiful." 10
38:33of them said, "Yeah, but the natives
38:34there make us look like grasshoppers,
38:36and they are the Nephilim." Says Numbers
38:3813:33, "They're Nephilim."
38:41So, if you believe the Nephilim are the
38:42hybrid
38:44of these angelic creatures cohabiting
38:45with you women, then there were Nephilim
38:48again in the time of Moses.
38:50Mhm.
38:51So, what that means is, if you take that
38:53view,
38:54there's nothing in scripture that says
38:56angels cannot appear and impregnate
38:58people to this day. Interesting. Now, to
39:00go into more speculation, again, I want
39:02to be careful. I don't want people think
39:03that we're conspiracy nuts.
39:05If we do take aliens as being actual
39:08entities that exist, well, what do they
39:10do? They say they also inseminate
39:11people.
39:13And if we look at aliens and their
39:14profile, they resemble the serpentine
39:18creatures
39:19that the Bible mentions exist. For
39:20example, the seraphim. Yeah. The word
39:22seraph means fiery serpent. So, here are
39:25spirit creatures with wings that guard
39:27the throne, but the name seraph means
39:29they're serpentine. They look like
39:30serpents. Satan himself is called
39:32nachash, serpent.
39:34He is the serpent. So, that means if we
39:36follow the Bible,
39:38in the spirit realm, there are creatures
39:40that look like animals,
39:42look like insects.
39:45For example, in Revelation 9, when the
39:47king who's given the key to the shaft of
39:51the abyss. He opens up the abyss, it
39:52says, "Demons came out
39:55that looked like locusts."
39:57And what our Lord said in Luke 10? If
39:59you go to Luke 10 and you read 19, he
40:01goes, "I give you authority to trample
40:03over snakes and scorpions." What snakes,
40:05what scorpions do you crush under your
40:07feet?
40:09Who are these snakes and scorpions?
40:10Yeah. If you're talking about animals,
40:12even non-Christians can do that.
40:13>> Yeah. What snakes, scorpions?
40:16It's demons. So, here our Lord says, in
40:18the spirit realm, demons can look like
40:21serpents, scorpions, locusts.
40:24So, these aliens
40:26what the the greys, whatever they call
40:27them. If they're real, I don't know. I'm
40:29just saying if they're real,
40:31man, they sure look like serpentine
40:33figures.
40:34And if they are doing what people Again,
40:36guys, don't say it's the same as the
40:37nut. I'm just saying if, I don't know. I
40:39haven't met them and I don't plan on
40:41meeting them and having tea with them.
40:43And if they exist, I believe they're
40:44demons. They're not extraterrestrial.
40:47If it's true, then what the aliens are
40:49doing is what what these beings did in
40:51the past, cuz they would be the same
40:53demons. They appeared as gods back then,
40:55they're appearing as aliens now. But
40:57anyway, we went on a tangent, but that's
40:59what I want you to see.
41:00He thought he was demon-possessed
41:02possessed by a genie.
41:04Yeah, that's the
41:04>> goes, "Cover me. I fear." Get to the
41:06part where it says, "I fear." And then
41:07it says, "Khadijah replied, 'Never, by
41:10Allah, Allah will never disgrace you.
41:13You keep good relations with your kith
41:15and kin, help the poor and the
41:16destitute, serve your guests generously,
41:19and assist the deserving
41:20calamity-afflicted ones.' Khadijah then
41:23accompanied him to her cousin Waraqah
41:25bin Nawfal. Now, let's explain what
41:26happened here.
41:27She said, "You're such a good man and a
41:29pious man. Allah would never allow you
41:30to be demon-possessed."
41:33She takes him to her first cousin,
41:35Waraqah bin Nawfal,
41:37and he's a Christian.
41:39And it says, right You already did.
41:41Christian, he used to read and write the
41:43gospel in Arabic and in other versions
41:45in Hebrew. A Christian. So, she says,
41:48"You're the religious man. You're the
41:50Christian. You know the gospel. What say
41:51you?" So, take it from there.
41:54So, it says, uh
41:55"He who during the pre-Islamic period
41:57became a Christian and used to write the
41:59writing with Hebrew letters. He would
42:00write from the gospel in Hebrew as much
42:01as Allah wished him to write. He was an
42:03old man and had lost his eyesight."
42:05Khadijah said to Waraqah, "Listen to the
42:08story of your nephew, oh my cousin." And
42:11then it says he asked, oh my nephew,
42:13what have you seen? Allah's messenger
42:15described whatever he had seen. War said
42:17this is the same one who keeps the
42:19secrets whom Allah has had sent to
42:22Moses.
42:23>> his response?
42:24If what you're telling me is true, then
42:27the same Namus
42:29that came to Moses has come to you. He
42:31confirmed Muhammad was a prophet like
42:32Moses.
42:34So if you believe this narration,
42:36a Christian monk or Christian
42:39believer [clears throat]
42:40started Islam.
42:42If you believe that narration.
42:44Cuz Muhammad thought he was demon
42:45possessed. Who convinced him that if
42:47what you tell me is true, you're not
42:49demon possessed, you're a prophet like
42:50Moses.
42:51Who? A Christian, right? Yeah. But then
42:54it says War died. But now watch War what
42:55he says to him now. We'll bring it up.
42:57You'll see.
42:57>> Oh, TV went out 1 second.
42:59>> you the genies are upset here, people.
43:02>> [laughter]
43:02>> As he gets it on the screen,
43:05what what you're going to see War says,
43:08if I am alive, I will help you against
43:11these people. And he goes,
43:13why will these people turn against me?
43:15He goes, yes, there hasn't been a
43:18person, a prophet who came with this
43:19message who hadn't been persecuted by
43:21his people. It says War died and the
43:23revelation cease. And that caused
43:25Muhammad to get depressed.
43:26So as it comes on and so Muhammad
43:29is good for those of you now
43:31don't know what's going on. We're having
43:32technical issues so the Hadith's not on
43:34the screen. So Muhammad became suicidal.
43:37Every time he'd go to try to commit
43:38suicide, it says the spirit would appear
43:41and encourage him saying, no, I'm
43:43Gabriel and you are the messenger of
43:44Allah. So Islam started with Muhammad
43:46being
43:47emotionally, psychologically,
43:49spiritually violated
43:51and having a Christian convince him that
43:52wasn't a demon, even though he initially
43:54thought it was a demon. Wow.
43:56And then every time he goes to end his
43:58life cuz he'd rather die than be demon
44:00possessed, the spirit appears to him and
44:02says, no, I'm Gabriel. Don't worry about
44:03it.
44:04And that began Muhammad's prophetic
44:05ambition. So it's right there. So, here
44:07it says
44:08>> [clears throat]
44:09>> Waraqah said, "This is the same one who
44:11keeps the secrets,
44:13right?" Yeah. [clears throat] whom Allah
44:14had sent to Moses. I wish I were young
44:17and could live up to the time when your
44:18people would turn you out. Allah's
44:20messenger asked, "Will they drive me
44:22out?"
44:23Waraqah replied in the affirmative and
44:25said, "Anyone who came with something
44:27similar to what you have brought was
44:29treated with hostility. And if I should
44:32remain alive till the day when you will
44:33be turned out, then I would support you
44:36strongly." But after a few days, Waraqah
44:38died and the divine inspiration was also
44:41paused for a while.
44:43So, other narrations, Bukhari will tell
44:44you because of that he wanted to throw
44:46himself off a cliff.
44:48So, this is the origin of Islam. The
44:49camera keep TV keeps going off. I don't
44:52It's okay. We can just Yeah, sorry.
44:53>> You've got the whole thing memorized, so
44:54we can just
44:55>> I just want Yeah, if you I don't know if
44:56they'll see it on the screen, but I want
44:58people to understand
44:59we're not making anything up. They can
45:00go and fact-check this with the
45:02internet. But yeah, so that's the story
45:03of Islam. That's how it began. So, then
45:05he he pauses for a little bit. He he's
45:08he's trying to take his life. The this
45:10angel comes up and he's like, "Oh, yeah,
45:11I'm Gabriel. Don't take your life, bro."
45:13But really
45:15I mean, from the conversations I've
45:16gotten to have with Avery and seeing the
45:18stuff online, when an angel interacts
45:20with anyone in scripture
45:21>> Precisely, you. nothing like this is
45:23occurring at all. You'll find the
45:25repeated
45:26>> [clears throat]
45:28>> encouragement from God, the spirit, or
45:30an angel. For example, you just go to
45:32Luke. It's supposed to this was Gabriel.
45:34Well, just start reading from Luke
45:35chapter 1. Just read the chapter.
45:37Gabriel appears to Zachariah.
45:40Zachariah's afraid. Gabriel says, "Don't
45:42be afraid."
45:43Gabriel then appears to the holy mother,
45:45the blessed mother of our Lord Jesus
45:46Christ.
45:47He says, "Don't be afraid."
45:49Even when our Lord Jesus appears to John
45:51in glory, if you go to Revelation
45:521:17-18, he goes, "When I saw him, I
45:55fell at his feet as dead."
45:57Fell at his feet as dead. He placed his
45:58right hand upon me, said, "Do not be
45:59afraid. Do not be afraid.
46:02I'm the first and I am he who lives, the
46:04living one. I was dead and behold I live
46:06forevermore and I hold the keys to
46:09death and Hades. So, when a true God
46:11appears or the Holy Spirit appears or a
46:15righteous angel appears,
46:17they assuage your fears and doubts. They
46:19don't manhandle you. They don't squeeze
46:22you
46:23three times making you fear for your
46:25life and thinking that this entity wants
46:27to kill me.
46:29That's demonic. Yeah, that is demonic
46:31and and to think
46:33I mean, how long did that go on before
46:34he just kind of like
46:37submits to this demon? Well, it it
46:39happened the sources say he struggled
46:42with this over a period of time. So,
46:45let's assume less than a year. He's he's
46:48struggling with this cuz when the
46:49revelation like you saw in the narration
46:51says it stopped.
46:52Elsewhere in Bukhari we're told that
46:54every time the revelation stopped, he
46:56would go to one of the
46:58mountain tops and want to throw himself
47:00off. So, he did this repeatedly. So, the
47:02spirit kept appearing repeatedly and
47:05then finally
47:07it sets in and he believes, all right,
47:09then I'm not demon possessed. I must be
47:11a prophet. So, if these narrations are
47:13true,
47:14cuz again, you have those who think that
47:16these are all concocted traditions and
47:19the historical Muhammad is nothing like
47:21the later Muhammad.
47:22>> Yeah.
47:22But, my problem with that is that if
47:25you're making up a story about Muhammad,
47:28you would try to make him look much more
47:30sane and moral
47:32than these sources do. These sources
47:35show that he he himself thought he was
47:36deranged, demon possessed, that he was
47:39losing his mind, wanted to kill himself,
47:41and he was grossly immoral. Well, if
47:43you're making up a story about a uh
47:45hero, the founder of religion, you would
47:48try to make him look like a superman
47:51and sugarcoat
47:53all of his mistakes. Right. So,
47:56I don't know why someone would make up
47:58these details unless these are hostile
48:01sources that the Muslims were stupid
48:03enough to then accept as being actually
48:06authentic narrations. Yeah. So I believe
48:08there's some kernel of truth that the
48:09historical Muhammad thought he was
48:11demon-possessed. Now, he was right.
48:13He was right.
48:13>> Yeah. Cuz we compare with the biblical
48:15paradigm
48:16no one experienced what he experienced.
48:18Absolutely.
48:18>> Unless they're demonized, but go ahead.
48:20Absolutely. So then he
48:23forms the Quran
48:25over time. Now 23 years they say. I've
48:27heard there's multiple different
48:30versions of this Quran. Yeah. What can
48:32you
48:33and that Qira'at and the Ahruf. Yep.
48:36Initially
48:38according These are again
48:40the traditions, authentic traditions of
48:42Islam.
48:43Sahih al-Bukhari, you can go to volume 6
48:46number 509 510.
48:48We're told that
48:50when Muhammad's companions
48:52wrote down what they learned directly
48:55from Muhammad and when it was compiled,
48:56these are people who learned from
48:58Muhammad.
48:59They wrote down Qurans that were
49:00contradicting one another.
49:02Mhm. So either Muhammad did a bad job
49:05or he chose a bunch of misfits. So
49:09traditions claim that to account for
49:12these differences
49:14for example, Umar and Hisham, these were
49:16two Muslims.
49:18When they went to pray, Hisham was
49:20praying. Now, when Muslims pray, they'll
49:22usually recite portions of the Quran.
49:24He was reciting chapter 25 of the Quran,
49:26this is Surat al-Furqan.
49:28The way he recited it
49:30Umar heard it and was livid and angry
49:33cuz he thought he was misquoting it. But
49:36he
49:37contained himself until he finished the
49:39prayer. Because then after the prayer,
49:41he then violently grabbed him by his
49:42robe you know, throttled him by the robe
49:44and dragged him in anger.
49:47So went to Muhammad and Muhammad was
49:48like, "What's going on?"
49:49He goes, "This man recited chapter 25 of
49:52the Quran differently from the way you
49:54were taught it to me.
49:55So then Muhammad says to him, "All
49:57right, go and recite." He goes, "Yeah, I
49:58taught it I taught you that." Omar
50:00shocked. He goes, "Now you recite." He
50:02goes, "Yeah, I taught you that, too." So
50:03they're both shocked. What do you mean?
50:06Now they both spoke the same dialect.
50:08They both were the from the same tribe,
50:10Quraysh tribe.
50:11So they were so not different dialects.
50:14It was different wording.
50:16So Omar was shocked. What do you mean?
50:19The way you taught it to me doesn't
50:20sound like the way you taught it to him.
50:22And you're saying
50:23we're both right and you taught us both
50:26forms. He goes, "Yeah, because Gabriel
50:28revealed the Quran
50:29to me in seven and the word is ahruf,
50:33letters.
50:35Till this day Muslim scholars don't know
50:36what he meant by that.
50:38There's over 35 explanations of what are
50:40the
50:41seven ahruf?
50:44Nobody knows.
50:45But we know they're not just dialectal
50:47differences and the differences were so
50:51vast that his companions accused the
50:55others of corrupting the Quran and
50:56almost came to blows.
50:58So this is Islam that's their sources.
50:59Now it gets a little worse. During the
51:01caliphate of Uthman ibn Affan,
51:06around 650 AD,
51:08he purges the Quran.
51:10Why? Because according to Sahih Bukhari,
51:13volume six in the old numberings 510.
51:15You guys can find it sunnah.com. It says
51:17that when the Muslims
51:19>> [clears throat]
51:19>> went
51:21against Azerbaijan and Armenia and
51:23attacked,
51:25there were Muslims from Syria and
51:27Muslims from Iraq, part of the army.
51:29They almost came to blows and killed
51:31each other.
51:32The general name, Hudhayfah,
51:34sends word to Omar. He says, "Look,
51:36Omar, do something about the book of
51:38Allah.
51:39Lest the Muslims go astray like the Jews
51:41and Christians did with their book."
51:42Why? Because the Syrians
51:45are reciting verses of the Quran that
51:48the Iraqis have never heard. So, they're
51:50accusing them of corrupting the Quran.
51:52The Iraqis
51:54are reciting verses of the Quran that
51:55the Syrians haven't heard. So, they're
51:57accusing them of corrupting the Quran,
51:59and they almost came to blows. Wow.
52:01That's Sahih al-Bukhari, volume 6,
52:03number 510.
52:04So, what did Uthman do? He commissioned
52:07a man named Zaid. I know I don't want to
52:09belabor the point, but I want people to
52:10understand. Zaid ibn Thabit
52:13converted to Islam
52:1513 years later
52:19after Muhammad went to Medina. He's not
52:21one of the original Muslims. He's called
52:23an Ansar, one of the helpers.
52:25Right? The ones who were originally with
52:26Muhammad, they're called
52:28the Muhajir, Muhajiri Muhajirin,
52:31Muhajirun, meaning those who migrated.
52:35When Abu Bakr, the first caliph, came
52:37into power, now look how bad it gets.
52:39This is in Sahih al-Bukhari, volume 6,
52:40number 509.
52:42I know these details going to put you to
52:43sleep, so you know, you need beauty
52:44sleep. Don't worry, you just sleep.
52:46Okay. I know there's more, but you asked
52:48me.
52:48>> Yeah.
52:49Abu Bakr, the caliph, the first caliph,
52:53was
52:54involved in what's called the Apostasy
52:55Wars. Cuz when Muhammad died, a lot of
52:58Arabs apostatized. They left Islam,
53:00left the religion, telling you they
53:02didn't convert out of pure motives. They
53:05converted out of compulsion, and some
53:07refused to give what they call as zakat,
53:09almsgiving. So, Abu Bakr went
53:12to attack them, to rein them in, and
53:13bring them back.
53:15Well, during one of these wars, the
53:16Battle of Yamama,
53:18Umar,
53:19who was the second caliph. Now, I don't
53:21want to confuse you. Abu Bakr is first
53:22caliph. Umar is the general of the army.
53:25Abu Bakr dies, Umar becomes the second
53:27caliph. Well, during Abu Bakr, as he's
53:30the caliph, Umar is the general of the
53:32army,
53:33and a lot of memorizers of the Quran
53:34were being killed.
53:36He panicked, cuz they're the ones who
53:38memorize the Quran. If they die, those
53:40parts of the Quran they memorized went
53:42with them. Yeah. So, he sent word to Abu
53:44Bakr, "Do something.
53:46Compile the Quran between two covers
53:49because the loss of the memorizers of
53:51the Quran has been great this day.
53:54Compile it before we lose the Quran."
53:57Wow. Okay, this is Sahih Bukhari volume
53:596 number 509. Abu Bakr says, "You want
54:02me to do something that Allah's
54:03messenger did not do." Now, you
54:04understand what that means?
54:05I'll repeat. He's telling to Abu Bakr,
54:08"Compile the Quran between two covers
54:11because the memorizers of the Quran
54:13a lot of them have been killed
54:15and the Quran they memorized went with
54:17them.
54:17Do something lest we lose more of them
54:19than we lose the Quran." Abu Bakr says,
54:22"You want me to do something that
54:23Allah's messenger did not do?" So, what
54:25did Muhammad not do?
54:27Bind the Quran into a book. That means
54:29as long as Muhammad is alive, the Quran
54:31was never compiled completely between
54:34two covers. It was scattered.
54:38>> Why? Just cuz he he wasn't thorough or
54:40>> No, because as long as he's alive,
54:42there would be more revelation.
54:44Mhm. So,
54:46the assumption as long as he's alive,
54:48there's going to be more revelation.
54:49So, it's scattered.
54:51So, then Abu Bakr was convinced, he told
54:53Zaid to go and find the Quran,
54:56search for it. Now, this the story is
54:58another lie with the Muslims.
54:59They go, "The Quran was completely
55:01memorized, completely written down
55:02during Muhammad's lifetime." If so, why
55:04did he have to go and look for it? Mhm.
55:07He went among the people and the
55:10criterion was you have to have at least
55:12two
55:13individuals confirming that this is
55:15Quran.
55:16So, it says he went until he found all
55:19of the Quran that he could
55:21except the last two verses of the Quran,
55:249:128, 129. He only found it with one
55:26man, Khuzaimah.
55:27Khuzaimah,
55:29only one man had it.
55:31Here's the problem. The criterion was
55:33you have to have two witnesses before
55:34you can add something.
55:36Khuzaimah was the only one
55:38that had these verses. He goes uh
55:40He goes, "When I compiled it, I missed
55:42something, the last two verses of the
55:43Quran."
55:44So, why didn't he include those last two
55:46verses if there was only one witness?
55:48You're supposed to have two witnesses,
55:49right? But on the basis of one witness,
55:52he included the last two verses. Why? He
55:54just compromised for it. Because they
55:57made up another tradition where Muhammad
55:58says, "This man's witness is equal to
56:00two."
56:01What? Yeah, that's in the tradition.
56:02That's so
56:04I don't know this
56:06When you When you look into the history,
56:07and I think and I think if I'm being
56:09completely honest, one of the
56:11intimidations to me of Islam is not the
56:14content of Islam. When I When I'm
56:17thinking about, "Oh, I'm going to talk
56:18to a Muslim." The thing that kind of
56:20intimidates me is
56:22at least the videos you see online.
56:24>> Yes.
56:25Um they they appear strong. They appear
56:29firm. They appear like, "Oh, oh, like I
56:31know better than you do." And it's
56:33almost like the way that the information
56:35is delivered, it's like they delivered
56:37it in a way where oh, you're not going
56:39to be able to respond to this. So, how
56:42how are you
56:43What kind of I don't know. I guess for
56:45me practically, not even just for me,
56:47but for other people that are listening,
56:48kind of like, how do we when we're
56:50talking to Muslims not get intimidated
56:53by their rhetoric?
56:54Second Timothy 1:7 says, "The Lord did
56:56not give you a spirit of timidity,
56:59but a boldness, right?"
57:01>> Yeah. And sound mind.
57:03And Romans 8:15, you have not been
57:05handed over to spirit spirit of fear.
57:07Fear is a weapon of Satan.
57:10What happens
57:12when you get bullied
57:14and you don't stand up to the bully?
57:16He keeps bullying you, right?
57:17>> Yeah. What happens when you stand up to
57:19the bully?
57:19Then you expose yellow-belly. There's
57:22got a yellow streak, right?
57:23>> Yeah. Muslims
57:26because their religion starts from
57:27Satan. Satan is a narcissist. Muhammad
57:29was a narcissist.
57:31Satan loves control. Muhammad loved
57:32control.
57:33So, what do narcissistic bullies do?
57:35They try to intimidate you, bully you to
57:36control you. Mhm. When you stand up to
57:38them, then you expose their cowardice.
57:40Mhm.
57:41Then their victim mentality comes comes
57:45to the fore- forefront. The problem with
57:47Christians in the West
57:50I don't know why or how this started.
57:54Christians in the West equate being
57:56Christian with being soft and
57:58effeminate.
57:59Mhm. Yeah, that's the
58:00>> This is what I call the
58:03feminization of Christian men. I'm not
58:05trying to get into the red pill I That
58:06I'm not I'm not no Andrew Tate. That's
58:08extreme, that's satanic. Nonetheless,
58:10there are some truths in all lies.
58:13If you read the Bible carefully look at
58:15early church history, the prophets and
58:16the apostles were not sissies. Right.
58:19They were bold lions and they would put
58:20people in their place.
58:22They'd even insult people and even curse
58:25people who deserved it. It's all
58:27throughout scripture. But
58:29for some reason something happened in
58:30Christian history
58:32where we did a 180, where now if you're
58:34bold or rude or in someone's face,
58:36you're now considered un-Christlike.
58:39Have you read how Jesus talked to the
58:40Pharisees and the scribes and the money
58:42changers? You brood of vipers.
58:44>> them fools and if you look at the word
58:46idiot, stupid. He called them adulterers
58:49and through the prophets he said very
58:51graphic things about them.
58:53Right? So, but I'm not Again,
58:55nonetheless.
58:57So, I
58:58my style, I'm very rude. I'm in your
59:00face cuz you know, sadly
59:03I am extreme at times cuz I'm a sinner.
59:05But I balance out the other side that's
59:07too weak and soft and timid. We need the
59:11balance of boldness
59:14biblical masculinity for men
59:17and not be intimidated by bullying
59:19tactics cuz you have the truth, they
59:20don't. So, what they
59:23lack in substance they make up with
59:25barking.
59:27And you got to see through that.
59:28Yeah, question question then on top of
59:31that. When I'm I'm thinking of 1 Peter
59:323:15, right? It says, "You know, in your
59:34hearts honor Christ your your Lord is
59:36holy and always be prepared to make a
59:38defense to anyone who asks for the hope
59:39inside you."
59:40>> the
59:41the context. Whoever is asking you
59:44give an apologetic
59:46do so with gentleness reverence.
59:48To whom? To those who ask you.
59:51What if they're not asking cuz they want
59:53to know? What if they're asking to bully
59:55you, intimidate you, to blaspheme?
59:57The same Peter then in 2 Peter 2 says to
59:59those people who are perverts and
1:00:00perverting gospel, he calls them wild
1:00:02beasts good for nothing but destruction.
1:00:05And he calls them dogs and pigs who
1:00:07return to their
1:00:09vomit. That same Peter in 2 Peter 2.
1:00:12So, there is a balance. I know it's 1
1:00:15Peter 3, but what's the context? Whoever
1:00:17asks you. Well, what if they're not
1:00:19asking you to learn? What if they're
1:00:21trying to bully you, intimidate you?
1:00:22What if they're trying to censor you?
1:00:23What if they're trying to mock you? Then
1:00:25read how they treated such people. Like
1:00:27in Acts 13:6-12 where there was a false
1:00:30prophet Elymas Bar-Jesus who opposed
1:00:32Paul's preaching in order to hinder him
1:00:35cuz he was a sorcerer.
1:00:37Paul calls him son of the devil
1:00:41enemy of all righteousness and cursed
1:00:43them with blindness.
1:00:45Called him, "You son of the devil. You
1:00:47enemy of all that is righteous."
1:00:49Does that sound like he was being
1:00:50gentle?
1:00:51No. No, that does not sound like that. I
1:00:53get I guess one of the things that I
1:00:54Well, first of all, let me let me say
1:00:56this. I'm right there with you on this
1:00:58side of like feminine and and so it's
1:01:01too much. You do have a balance. I'm
1:01:03right there with you. I think the thing
1:01:04that like is hard for me sometimes
1:01:06particularly with like Islam is is that
1:01:09issue you run into. A lot of them they
1:01:11don't want to learn. They want to get a
1:01:12gotcha on you. Well, that's what I'm I'm
1:01:14Is it is it throwing pearls onto swine?
1:01:17Is it So, then then here's my follow-up
1:01:19question to that. Is there and this is
1:01:21all me just genuinely asking trying to
1:01:23understand.
1:01:24Is there a time and place to then throw
1:01:26pearls on the swine?
1:01:27No, you never have a time and place to
1:01:29throw. What you do is what Paul did.
1:01:30When he saw Elymas wasn't interested,
1:01:32what did he do?
1:01:33He cursed him and ridiculed him.
1:01:36That's their treatment. You son of the
1:01:38devil.
1:01:39Enemy of all that is righteousness. You
1:01:41will not stop perverting the ways of the
1:01:42Lord.
1:01:43He didn't even entertain him to talk. He
1:01:45cursed him. When I say cursed, not like
1:01:47cursed like F word. F No, no, that's not
1:01:49what I'm talking about. He rebuked them
1:01:51and
1:01:52uh invoked God's judgment on him. That's
1:01:54what I mean by cursed. And yeah, yeah,
1:01:56yeah.
1:01:56>> Not like, "Hey, your your mother." You
1:01:57know, I'm not saying that. Okay. Right,
1:01:58right. So, when you see those people,
1:02:03you are to rebuke them, chasing them,
1:02:05block them, and remove them. To engage
1:02:07them
1:02:09is to do what Jesus says don't do
1:02:11because they're not there to listen.
1:02:13They're there
1:02:14to clickbait. They're there for clips.
1:02:18They're there for numbers and money.
1:02:20Mhm. And so, you are now being used by
1:02:22their father, the devil, to allow them
1:02:24to blaspheme the Lord, mock the Lord,
1:02:27attack the Bible, ridicule Christians,
1:02:29and cause weak Christians lose their
1:02:31faith. So, you're complicit. Very
1:02:33interesting. Wow.
1:02:34>> So then, what is the
1:02:37I guess
1:02:38I don't know if this like
1:02:41Yes. Yeah, that's very fascinating. So
1:02:43then, is there Does the Bible then say
1:02:46there is a purpose for exposing then?
1:02:49Does the Bible talk about
1:02:50>> It says Ephesians 5:11, "Expose the
1:02:51deeds of darkness." But exposing what
1:02:54they do and their tactics is one thing.
1:02:56Engaging them in just,
1:02:59you know, a shouting match or engaging
1:03:01them when you know they're not listening
1:03:03and they're going to talk over you,
1:03:05then what's the purpose in that? There
1:03:06is no purpose. In fact, you know what
1:03:08Titus 3:10-11 says? What does it say?
1:03:10After the first or second warning,
1:03:13avoid a heretic,
1:03:16a contentious person. Mhm. After how
1:03:18many warnings? Two.
1:03:20So, why do we keep doing it? That's
1:03:21Titus 3:10-11. Do you have your Bible?
1:03:23Look at it. I don't know if you have it.
1:03:24I've got it outside in my backpack. I
1:03:26get
1:03:26>> if you want to put it on the screen,
1:03:27brother. biblegateway.com,
1:03:30homie. Great website.
1:03:31>> Yep, it is. I use that. biblegateway.com
1:03:35Titus 3:10-11
1:03:38Titus 3:10-11 Warn a divisive person
1:03:41once and then warn them a second time.
1:03:43After that, having have nothing to do
1:03:45with them. You may be sure that such
1:03:46people are warped and sinful. They are
1:03:48self-condemned.
1:03:49>> engaging them?
1:03:51Totally understand. I guess I guess
1:03:52another follow-up question then is the
1:03:54language the language that you've
1:03:56described in the Bible Paul using to
1:03:58these people even even church
1:04:00>> you
1:04:01a very clean
1:04:04example. That's why I showed you how
1:04:05graphic it gets. Well, even Well, I even
1:04:07know like even the early church fathers
1:04:09like they would address heretics like
1:04:11Very graphic. very graphically and very
1:04:13intensely. I'm right there with you.
1:04:14Something that I'm trying to understand
1:04:16I guess is you have the Bible who would
1:04:19describe as human beings as a whole
1:04:22being of a different moral value because
1:04:24they're made in the image of God. The
1:04:26same Jesus who said they're image of God
1:04:27who called them dogs and pigs? Well,
1:04:29that's what I was going to ask you.
1:04:30That's my question is
1:04:32So, then is you
1:04:33is calling someone a dog or a pig or
1:04:36>> then you answer the question. Jesus who
1:04:38created them in his image
1:04:40he says they're dogs and pigs.
1:04:42So, answer that. Yeah, I don't I don't
1:04:44know. That's fascinating to me. Matthew
1:04:467:6 Bring it up for my friend here.
1:04:49So, you can't take scripture because a
1:04:51person can
1:04:53corrupt themselves to such an extent
1:04:56they now efface
1:04:57that image of God within them and
1:04:59they're worse than beasts and animals.
1:05:01What did Jesus say not to do? Do not
1:05:03give dogs what is sacred. Do not throw
1:05:05your pearls
1:05:06>> the dogs that he's talking about?
1:05:08The Pharisees, right? But, what are
1:05:09they? What are their nature? They're
1:05:11people.
1:05:13Humans? you mean?
1:05:14>> Yeah. Yeah, humans.
1:05:14>> You just said they're created in the
1:05:15image of God.
1:05:16So, Jesus created called his image
1:05:18bearers dogs and pigs?
1:05:21I I guess so. I guess so.
1:05:23>> it's right there, brother. I'm just so
1:05:24I'm That's what's confusing to me is
1:05:26because I'm like
1:05:27>> to you, man? The Lord's telling you.
1:05:29>> Well, I'm I No, I
1:05:30>> Some image bearers of mine, they're
1:05:32worse than animals. They've corrupted
1:05:33themselves to such an extent, they are
1:05:35now dogs and sons of Satan. Got you.
1:05:38Okay, so it's it's not It's that they
1:05:40have corrupted themselves to such an
1:05:42extent.
1:05:43>> I see. Okay.
1:05:44>> In fact here, if you open up the screen,
1:05:45my brother from a different mother,
1:05:47which your screen keeps going going off.
1:05:49Rebuke that demon by the power of Jesus
1:05:51Christ.
1:05:52Okay.
1:05:53It's This is language out throughout
1:05:54scripture. It's not only Jesus saying
1:05:56they're dogs and pigs.
1:05:58So, when it comes up, you'll see.
1:06:00Peter, what did I just say? What did he
1:06:02say about those who heard the gospel of
1:06:05truth,
1:06:07walked in the gospel of truth, but then
1:06:08fell away and perverted for heresy? You
1:06:10want to see what he calls them? So, now
1:06:11here it says, "Do not give Do not give
1:06:13dogs what is sacred." And that's NIV,
1:06:15it's a little more of a paraphrase. "Do
1:06:17not throw your pearls to pigs. If you
1:06:19do, they may trample them under their
1:06:21feet and turn and tear you to pieces."
1:06:23Now, open up 2 Peter chapter 2.
1:06:272 Peter chapter just right here. You're
1:06:28going to see
1:06:29those who came to faith, who were saved,
1:06:33who were bought by the Lord, who
1:06:34acknowledged the Lord,
1:06:36but then they fell away to introduce
1:06:38damnable heresies or licentiousness,
1:06:40meaning using the grace of God as an
1:06:41excuse to live immorally. Well, look how
1:06:44Peter describes them, but this screen
1:06:45keeps shutting off. Then we're not going
1:06:47to look at 2 Peter 2.
1:06:48>> Doesn't it say Doesn't it say their
1:06:49faith is counted as unrighteousness? Is
1:06:51that Is that Is that
1:06:52>> No, 2 Peter 2 is saying it's all about
1:06:54those
1:06:55who came to the knowledge of truth,
1:06:58you may need your Bible cuz their screen
1:07:00does keep shutting down. I don't know
1:07:01what you want to do.
1:07:03Yeah, brothers. Brothers, you want us to
1:07:04pay you for a better screen?
1:07:06Stuck
1:07:08Oh, but I look, brother. It's recording.
1:07:10You see? This is what happens live. This
1:07:12television set sucks. Keep shutting
1:07:15down. What did you do, Muslims do? Are
1:07:17you a plant? Yeah, I'll just read from
1:07:18my I'm a plant. Did they send you here?
1:07:20Yeah. You jihadi, you?
1:07:23All right. Yeah, just get your Bible,
1:07:24brother, cuz it's not going to work.
1:07:25This will be from the Yeah. Thank you,
1:07:26man. I appreciate it.
1:07:29Jihad, brother. Make sure you leave this
1:07:30interview raw and unedited.
1:07:32>> Oh, we don't edit anything. Good, man.
1:07:34Jihad, they sent this guy fisabilillah.
1:07:38His name is Abdur Rahman.
1:07:40Abdul Al-Aswad.
1:07:42Okay. Okay, you said 2 Peter 2. So I
1:07:45would Starting verse 1.
1:07:47Verse 1, what do they do? But false
1:07:49prophets also rose among the people,
1:07:52just as there will be false teachers
1:07:53among you who will be secretly bringing
1:07:54in destructive heresies.
1:07:56>> right? Yep. And what are they going to
1:07:57introduce? Heresies. Heresies, okay. So
1:08:00when you denying even the very Lord that
1:08:01bought them?
1:08:03Mhm. Right? Okay, now. What What does he
1:08:05say
1:08:07they're good for, verse 12?
1:08:09It says in verse 12, "But these, like
1:08:12irrational animals, creatures of
1:08:13instinct,
1:08:14>> animals?
1:08:15Yeah.
1:08:16>> They're worse than
1:08:18animals.
1:08:18>> Even tame dogs, they're like rabid dogs?
1:08:21Yeah. It says Scavengers that
1:08:24>> blaspheming about matters of which they
1:08:25are ignorant will also be destroyed in
1:08:27their destruction, suffering wrong as
1:08:28they rage for the wrong doing.
1:08:30>> 2 Peter 2:12. One more time, read that
1:08:31again slowly, see? "But these, like
1:08:33irrational animals, creatures of
1:08:36instinct, born to be caught and
1:08:37destroyed,
1:08:38>> Also he says they should be destroyed.
1:08:40Peter says that about image bearers of
1:08:42God?
1:08:44Yeah, that's very fascinating.
1:08:45>> Now read 20 to 22. By I love that you
1:08:48said read 20 to 22. For if, after they
1:08:51have escaped the defilements of the
1:08:52world through the knowledge of our Lord
1:08:54and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again
1:08:56entangled in them and overcome, the last
1:08:59state has become worse for them than the
1:09:01first. For it would have been better for
1:09:03them never to have known
1:09:05the way of the righteousness than after
1:09:07knowing it to turn back from the holy
1:09:09commandment delivered to them. What the
1:09:11true proverb says has happened to them,
1:09:13the dog returns to its own vomit. So,
1:09:14they're nothing but rabid
1:09:17dogs who eat their own vomit. And then
1:09:20what else are they?
1:09:22It says, "And the sow, after washing
1:09:24herself, returns to wallow."
1:09:26>> They're dirty pigs,
1:09:28Peter. Interesting. So, I guess I guess
1:09:31my my my final question on that subject
1:09:34is Yeah. how do you Yeah. determine
1:09:38what language to use?
1:09:40>> Yeah. Well, I don't do it perfectly. So,
1:09:42I'm not infallible. I'm not inspired.
1:09:43So, there are times I I acknowledge I
1:09:46crossed the line.
1:09:47>> [clears throat]
1:09:47>> Do I want to? No.
1:09:49But myself, because I'm a sinner,
1:09:52imperfect, I have my own ticks.
1:09:54Meaning, there are certain things that
1:09:55trigger me
1:09:57because I'm weak.
1:09:59I know when someone deserves to be
1:10:01rebuked because
1:10:03they don't come to ask to learn. They're
1:10:06coming to attack and mock.
1:10:07>> Mhm.
1:10:08That's I you know, by the nature of the
1:10:10question. Because either they will not
1:10:12answer the question, or when you go to
1:10:14answer the question, they're already
1:10:15cutting you off. That means right there
1:10:17they're there to
1:10:18try to prove you're wrong.
1:10:21And I understand because I do that to
1:10:22Muslims. I don't ask to learn. I ask to
1:10:24show them why Islam is false.
1:10:26But because I already know the argument
1:10:28and I'm trying to answer when they cut
1:10:30me off, then they show that they're not
1:10:32there to listen. So, I'll either block
1:10:33them, get rid of them. But if they get
1:10:34nasty, then Proverbs 20's here.
1:10:37If you don't know how to interpret
1:10:39scripture by scripture, you're going to
1:10:40create contradictions when there are
1:10:42none.
1:10:43Because in Proverbs 26:4-5, those two
1:10:45verses contradict each other. Right.
1:10:48They contradict each each other.
1:10:49Proverbs 26:4-5, why? Because if you go
1:10:51to Proverbs 26,
1:10:52verses four and five. Verse four says,
1:10:55"Don't answer a fool according to his
1:10:56folly, unless you become like him.
1:10:59It's Proverbs 26:4. Yep. Do not answer a
1:11:01fool according to his folly.
1:11:04According to his stupidity, foolishness.
1:11:06Cuz then you'll be like him, right?
1:11:08That's verse four. Look at it.
1:11:09Says that, right? Answer not a fool
1:11:11according to his folly unless you be
1:11:12like him and you unless you be like him
1:11:14yourself. But verse five contradicts
1:11:16that. Says, "Answer a fool according to
1:11:17his folly."
1:11:18Lest he be wise in his own eyes. So,
1:11:21that's a contradiction. No, it isn't.
1:11:23Cuz the Bible tells you it's not black
1:11:25and white. There are times in which you
1:11:27ignore an idiot.
1:11:29Times in which you expose an idiot to
1:11:31show how stupid he is.
1:11:33Why? So people can see he's stupid
1:11:35because he may influence people
1:11:38who think he's smart, but he's stupid
1:11:40and he's dangerous. So then you got to
1:11:42expose them for the sake of the flock.
1:11:44Mhm. So that comes with discernment.
1:11:47Yeah. But none of us have perfect
1:11:48discernment and that's why I've offended
1:11:50people, but if you actually look at it,
1:11:51what's ironic, the language I use is all
1:11:53in scripture.
1:11:55People haven't watched my live stream
1:11:56and say they don't know what I'm talking
1:11:57about when I say
1:11:59That's Revelation 17.
1:12:01The of Babylon and all her
1:12:03daughters are It's the word
1:12:04Or, for example, dog. Or, pig.
1:12:08Or, stupid. That's Matthew 23:17. Jesus
1:12:11called them stupid. If you look at the
1:12:12word fool, it means stupid. Mhm.
1:12:15So it's ironic I use biblical language
1:12:17they don't know it because of this
1:12:19feminization of Christian men. Mhm.
1:12:22That's what And I said, "Well, hold on.
1:12:23Hold on. I was just reading the Bible."
1:12:25I just read Matthew 23:17. "Yeah, but
1:12:27you're not Jesus." But you're telling me
1:12:28to imitate Jesus, right? Oh, only
1:12:30imitate Jesus in the places you like.
1:12:32Mhm. I see.
1:12:34So, for example, bastard. Hebrews 12:8.
1:12:36It says, "If God doesn't discipline
1:12:38you," and the word is, "then you're a
1:12:40bastard."
1:12:41Hebrews 12:8. Wow. It's there in the
1:12:43Bible, man. And if you look at the
1:12:45Hebrew and Greek idioms, it's much more
1:12:47graphic than in English. English they
1:12:49soften it down. Don't believe me, just
1:12:51look at any commentary. And I'm not here
1:12:52talking about justify I'm just saying to
1:12:54answer your question. For example,
1:12:57would you be shocked
1:12:58if a man of God said, "I'm going to take
1:13:01the of a dog and smear it on your
1:13:02face?"
1:13:04I think at initial hand, yeah.
1:13:05>> You would, right?
1:13:06>> You have an issue with God telling
1:13:07Malachi, Malachi 2:3, it says, "Go tell
1:13:09the priests I'm going to take the of
1:13:10their animals and smear on their
1:13:12faces." It's literally Hebrew. Malachi
1:13:142:3. That's very interesting.
1:13:16>> So, you have a problem with Malachi. So,
1:13:17why don't you get out of your Bible?
1:13:19>> [laughter]
1:13:19>> Wow, that's interesting.
1:13:20>> Malachi 2:3, because the priests were
1:13:22offering Malachi's right before Matthew.
1:13:24Yeah.
1:13:25The priests were offering defective
1:13:27sacrifices of defective animals and they
1:13:29knew better. You know what he said?
1:13:31"I'm going to take the shit." Go read
1:13:33the Hebrew word.
1:13:35It's what's in their intestine. The
1:13:37the dung Oh, yeah.
1:13:38>> the crap, I'm going to smear the crap on
1:13:40your faces.
1:13:41>> Behold, I will rebuke your offspring and
1:13:43spread dung on your face.
1:13:44>> What is dung, brother?
1:13:45>> off your offsprings and
1:13:46>> What is that? What is that? Oh, it's
1:13:48poop. So, you just told me you had a
1:13:49problem with your Bible.
1:13:51That's so fascinating. I guess you're
1:13:53right. I guess you you never really hear
1:13:55You won't hear it.
1:13:55>> about that language. Um you you do you
1:13:58brought up that that that quote-unquote
1:14:00contradiction. We obviously know it's
1:14:02not a contradiction according to to the
1:14:04context of the scriptures. There was one
1:14:06I I heard the other day just briefly
1:14:08watching um
1:14:10a Muslim apologist online saying, "Oh,
1:14:12look at this contradiction in the
1:14:13Bible." So, I'm going to butcher it, but
1:14:14I I I
1:14:15he said that this king reigned at this
1:14:17time.
1:14:18>> Ahaziah 22:42? Yeah. Yeah, can you
1:14:20explain that?
1:14:21>> yeah, transcriptional error. But,
1:14:23brother,
1:14:24these are what I call and we there's an
1:14:26answer. For example, I have even I have
1:14:28on my blog I have an answer, an
1:14:29answering Islam blog.
1:14:31That's what they call a transcriptional
1:14:33error because there are certain
1:14:34manuscripts and by the way, for those
1:14:36who don't know, it's not about if you're
1:14:37reading the Book of Kings and you will
1:14:38compare them Chronicles, it says Ahaziah
1:14:41was 20 20 reigned, another place says
1:14:4342. That's very simple to answer.
1:14:45There are manuscripts that have the
1:14:47correct number for in both, 22.
1:14:50There are some manuscripts that have 42
1:14:52discrepancy, but that's common sense.
1:14:54Why?
1:14:55Because in
1:14:57Hebrew
1:14:59letters represent numbers. They don't
1:15:02have numbers.
1:15:03So, a letter represents a number. So, if
1:15:04you have aleph, that's one.
1:15:07All this tells us is that there were
1:15:08certain scribes that must have misread a
1:15:10letter
1:15:12thinking that it wasn't two, it was
1:15:14four.
1:15:15And because of that
1:15:17brought in the wrong number. The number
1:15:19would be 22, right? Why? Because the
1:15:21parallel
1:15:22has 22.
1:15:24The other has some manuscripts that say
1:15:2642 22, so there's a discrepancy.
1:15:29Some ancient versions read correctly 22.
1:15:32So, then that means if we're being
1:15:33honest, this is simply what we call a
1:15:36copyist mistake, and that happens. Yeah.
1:15:38When a Muslim nitpicks on this and try
1:15:41to answer them, see, this again shows
1:15:43people don't know how to evangelize
1:15:44Muslims. That's why.
1:15:46A Muslim is not asking cuz he wants to
1:15:47know the answer. Cuz even if you give
1:15:49him a very
1:15:51solid answer that's based on facts,
1:15:55unless he believes every copyist
1:15:58that copied
1:16:00even the Quran,
1:16:01let alone the Bible,
1:16:03must have been inspired by God to make
1:16:05sure they produce flawless copies, which
1:16:08they know is not the case because the
1:16:09extent manuscripts of the Quran have
1:16:11thousands of variants, which we never
1:16:12got to. We didn't finish.
1:16:16Then this is an argument not because he
1:16:17wants to know the answer, because he
1:16:19knows humans will make mistakes in the
1:16:21transmission when they're copying
1:16:23from one, let's say, text to another
1:16:27prior to the printing press. This is a
1:16:29fact, but then how do we know the
1:16:30Bible's preserved? The way the Bible's
1:16:33preserved is that the Lord moved the
1:16:35people to make mass copies in the
1:16:38thousands of these individual books.
1:16:41That's how we know that there is a
1:16:44discrepancy cuz there's some copies that
1:16:46will have 22:42, but the parallel has
1:16:4922. So, now when we assess it, all
1:16:50right, that means these individual there
1:16:53made a mistake. They misread the Hebrew.
1:16:54>> Mhm. So, then we know what the original
1:16:56is. It's 22.
1:16:57But, we wouldn't know this if we didn't
1:16:59have a plethora of manuscripts where no
1:17:02one individual
1:17:04no one person had control of all the
1:17:06manuscripts to then edit them and
1:17:08corrupt them the way he wanted and send
1:17:10them to the masses. That never happened.
1:17:12>> Yeah. So, the Bible from its inception
1:17:14was being mass copied and spread over
1:17:16the world. That's how God preserved all
1:17:20the original wording of the original
1:17:21autographs in the extent manuscripts
1:17:24because your copy, let's say in
1:17:26California
1:17:27and California's huge, let's say
1:17:29Turlock. Copy of John, John 1:18 says,
1:17:32"Only begotten son." But, then there's
1:17:34another copy in Turlock that says, "Only
1:17:36begotten God." Then there's a copy in LA
1:17:39that says So, because the copies are
1:17:41spread all over
1:17:42>> Mhm. no one person can collect them and
1:17:45corrupt them. So, that means even if you
1:17:47corrupted your manuscript, whether
1:17:48intentionally or not, you got a thousand
1:17:51other copies of that same chapter that
1:17:54read differently, so we can spot the
1:17:56differences and know what the original
1:17:59is. Yeah. This just a fact.
1:18:01>> Yeah. It's not just
1:18:03transmission of the Bible. Any book
1:18:06prior to the printing press that has
1:18:08been hand copied
1:18:10has variant readings.
1:18:13The more copies, the more variants. The
1:18:16less copies, the less variants. What
1:18:17does that mean? So, if I only have five
1:18:19book copies of a particular book
1:18:23because they're only five, they'll have
1:18:24fewer variants among them. But, what if
1:18:27I have a thousand copies of that one
1:18:29book?
1:18:30How many more variants do you think
1:18:32we'll have?
1:18:33Way more. Why? Because the more copies,
1:18:37the more differences because you have
1:18:38more copyists and copyists don't copy
1:18:41the same way. Yeah. So, common sense
1:18:44tells you if I have a thousand copies of
1:18:46a particular book,
1:18:48then I'm going to have a lot more
1:18:50variants because no two copyists among
1:18:53the thousand copy the same way.
1:18:55Yeah.
1:18:56But if I have fewer copies, then the
1:18:58variants
1:19:00are not as much because I don't have as
1:19:02many. Yeah. That's true of any book.
1:19:06Not just the Bible. Ask any textual
1:19:08critic of any work
1:19:10of antiquity, even of medieval period,
1:19:12prior to the print
1:19:13If you have more than one copy of a
1:19:15book,
1:19:17is there any book out there where if it
1:19:19has more than one copy that has no
1:19:21variants? They'll say no, they all have
1:19:22variants. Wow.
1:19:23And some of the copies are fragmentary,
1:19:25so we don't even Yeah. This is just the
1:19:26facts. When a Muslim brings it up, he's
1:19:28not interested in the answer. He wants
1:19:30to look cause you to lose faith. So,
1:19:32then why engage them? Because when you
1:19:34answer one contradiction, he's going to
1:19:36bring another and he's going to bring
1:19:37another.
1:19:38He's not interested. So, what I do is
1:19:41there's two ways to cure
1:19:43cure something. You either
1:19:46cure the symptoms, but the problem
1:19:48doesn't go away, right? Right. Or you
1:19:50attack the problem, destroy the problem,
1:19:52and the symptoms disappear. Right. So,
1:19:54what you're addressing is symptoms
1:19:56and you're going to keep addressing it.
1:19:57I go to the root cause and I destroy the
1:19:59root, I destroy the problem, erase, and
1:20:01all the symptoms will go away. So, then
1:20:03what do I tell the Muslim when they
1:20:05bring up the contradictions?
1:20:07I said, "Well, if you're right the
1:20:08Bible's contradictory, then I can never
1:20:11be a Muslim.
1:20:12And you prove Muhammad is a liar." What
1:20:14do you mean?
1:20:15Because you're a Muslim, you believe
1:20:17Muhammad.
1:20:18You believe what Muhammad said.
1:20:20Muhammad confirmed the books of the Jews
1:20:22and Christians in the time
1:20:24that he supposedly preached Islam. He
1:20:26confirmed those books are the uncorrupt
1:20:29preserved words of God. But you're
1:20:30telling me they're not cuz they have
1:20:33contradictions. That means you know more
1:20:34than Allah.
1:20:36You know more than your God cuz your God
1:20:37had Muhammad say, "Those books
1:20:40in the possession of the Christians
1:20:41confirm they are true, they are from
1:20:43God, they're authoritative, they're
1:20:45preserved, and you need to use them to
1:20:46judge the truth of the Quran." But
1:20:48you're telling me Allah made a mistake
1:20:49or Muhammad didn't know what he was
1:20:50talking about. So I can never become a
1:20:52Muslim. Woah. And that was it when And
1:20:54what you're referring to is it saying
1:20:56the Torah and the Injil? Is it
1:20:57>> This This is what we call the Islamic
1:20:58dilemma.
1:20:59Ooh.
1:21:00This Islamic dilemma has been the
1:21:02nightmare of Muslims in fact the last
1:21:04couple of months.
1:21:05Avery debated
1:21:07a Muslim on Islamic dilemma, schooled
1:21:08him, slaughtered him. Others have too.
1:21:10You know, you have David Wood and
1:21:11others.
1:21:13This is what we call the Islamic
1:21:14dilemma. Damned if you do, damned if you
1:21:16don't.
1:21:17I'll give you an example of how the
1:21:18Islamic dilemma works as a Christian.
1:21:21You believe in the New Testament from
1:21:23cover to cover, right? Yep.
1:21:26As a Christian, can you say the Old
1:21:28Testament is full of lies and immorality
1:21:30and genocide?
1:21:32Well, you can because it's in there.
1:21:34Like they described it's pretty sad.
1:21:36>> can, that means that Jesus' view of the
1:21:37Old Testament is wrong. He was immoral.
1:21:40So Jesus confirmed it. So then you're
1:21:41not a Christian.
1:21:43Jesus confirmed the Old Testament. Yeah,
1:21:45he did. So you just said he confirmed
1:21:47immorality and genocide.
1:21:49Well, that's different. Because he's
1:21:51like he's like he's describing what's
1:21:53going on.
1:21:53>> No, it doesn't. He says he comes to
1:21:54fulfill the law and the prophets. Yes,
1:21:56and that that stuff did occur, right?
1:21:58>> So it did occur, but when God tells
1:22:01the Israelites to wipe out the
1:22:02Canaanites, you're saying they made it
1:22:03up and Jesus is going with it? No, I
1:22:05don't say I don't think they made it up.
1:22:06>> So then when God says wipe out the
1:22:08Canaanites,
1:22:10as a Christian, what's your position?
1:22:13That God was being a just God and we
1:22:14just have to trust that he was judging
1:22:16righteously.
1:22:16>> saying it's genocide.
1:22:18I'm saying it's evil. So how are you
1:22:20going to respond to me?
1:22:21I actually don't know how I would
1:22:22respond.
1:22:22>> Exactly. So you got to learn the basics
1:22:24of your faith more than interested in
1:22:26Islam.
1:22:27See why I said when I began this, what
1:22:29was my focus? To equip believers. Not so
1:22:32much refuting Islam. So what I refute
1:22:34Islam?
1:22:35How does that then answer your
1:22:37objections and doubts about what you
1:22:38find in the Bible?
1:22:39>> Right.
1:22:40Okay, now.
1:22:41My point in bringing this up is I'm
1:22:44stuck with the Old Testament. Why?
1:22:46Because Jesus told me I'm stuck with the
1:22:48Old Testament.
1:22:49>> Yeah.
1:22:49So I cannot be a faithful Christian,
1:22:52faithful Christ and call that genocide.
1:22:54Because I'm saying that Jesus is
1:22:56endorsing genocide.
1:22:57>> Mhm. Right. And that means he's a moral
1:22:59monster, is that what I want to say? I
1:23:00can't say that.
1:23:01>> that. Yeah. All right. So to ask the
1:23:03question again,
1:23:04in light of Jesus confirming the Old
1:23:06Testament,
1:23:06>> Mhm.
1:23:08do you have the option of questioning
1:23:10its morality and condemning it and
1:23:12rejecting it?
1:23:12>> No. Why not?
1:23:14Because you're you're just trusting that
1:23:16what God did was righteous, true, and
1:23:17just. Why do I have to believe this Old
1:23:20Testament's from God?
1:23:23Because Jesus said he came not to
1:23:25abolish the Old Testament.
1:23:26>> Christian dilemma.
1:23:28I cannot reject the Old Testament
1:23:30because Jesus forced me to accept it.
1:23:32That's the Christian dilemma. So you and
1:23:34I are stuck now with the Old Testament,
1:23:36scratching our head, how do we make
1:23:37sense of it? And by the way, glory to
1:23:38Jesus Christ, God rewards faith. If you
1:23:40take a step of faith and say, "Look,
1:23:42God, I'm going to take you at your word.
1:23:44This is your book. You are perfectly
1:23:46holy and just and merciful and
1:23:47compassionate and loving.
1:23:49I don't know how to figure this out. I
1:23:51don't know how to make sense out of it,
1:23:52but I trust you and I know there is a
1:23:54reason." And then he'll give you the
1:23:55answer. Then it's going to make sense.
1:23:57Well, I mean, obviously I don't It's not
1:23:58time to do it.
1:24:00There are answers. And you're all,
1:24:01"Okay. Wow, okay, so I misunderstood
1:24:04this. Wow, it shows how beautiful God
1:24:05is. Wow, it shows his heart." But my
1:24:07point was
1:24:08this is the Christian dilemma. I'm
1:24:10stuck.
1:24:11I got to believe the Old Testament.
1:24:13Now, if Jesus never bound me to the Old
1:24:15Testament, I would never read it or pick
1:24:18it up a day in my life.
1:24:20I wouldn't waste my time with it.
1:24:22But the point is you cannot reject the
1:24:24Old Testament and be a faithful
1:24:26Christian following the New Testament.
1:24:28This is the Islamic dilemma. What Jesus
1:24:31did to for you and me, bound us to the
1:24:33Old Testament, Muhammad did to the
1:24:34Muslims. He bound them to the Bible.
1:24:37That's the Islamic dilemma. Learn it.
1:24:40Muhammad said, "Jews and Christians,
1:24:42here's the proof that I'm a prophet. I
1:24:44confirm what you have to be from God and
1:24:47you use them to judge that this Quran is
1:24:49from God."
1:24:51So when a Muslim tells me the Bible's
1:24:53corrupt, he's saying the Quran is lying.
1:24:55The Quran told me it can't be corrupt
1:24:56because the Bible will be the criterion
1:24:59for the Jews and Christians to determine
1:25:01the truth of the Quran.
1:25:03So if you tell me it's corrupt, but the
1:25:05Quran tells me one of the proofs that
1:25:07it's from God is that it agrees with my
1:25:09scriptures. These are the words of God,
1:25:11preserved, authoritative in the sense
1:25:14that I am to judge by them to determine
1:25:17the truth of Muhammad,
1:25:18then either Muhammad is right and you're
1:25:20wrong, the Bible's not corrupt, or if
1:25:22he's wrong and you're right, then not
1:25:25only are you telling me not to be a
1:25:26Christian, you're telling me don't even
1:25:27become a Muslim because he believes in
1:25:29my Bible which you reject.
1:25:32So anytime you bring up a contradiction,
1:25:33I'm going to say, "Wait, was Muhammad
1:25:34wrong?"
1:25:35Why? You just told me these books that
1:25:38Muhammad confirmed cuz these are the
1:25:39only books they had
1:25:41with the variant readings, 22 and 42.
1:25:44They had it. Yeah. Some copies read 22,
1:25:4642.
1:25:48Didn't Muhammad not know about these
1:25:49contradictions? If you say yes, he still
1:25:52confirmed them,
1:25:54then you're in trouble, baby. Mhm. But
1:25:56if you're telling me he didn't know,
1:25:59you're in trouble, baby. Mhm. Yeah.
1:26:01Either way, you're in trouble. Yeah.
1:26:03See, this is how you do it. See, what
1:26:05did I do? I didn't deal with the symptom
1:26:06cuz then I got to deal with this
1:26:07symptom, that symptom. I went to the
1:26:09root and I destroyed it, nuked it. And I
1:26:13said, "That's how you're supposed to do
1:26:14it." And then and then with the Injil,
1:26:16that's just the gospel, right? Yeah,
1:26:18Injil would be the gospel given to Jesus
1:26:20with the Quran assumes that it existed
1:26:22at the time of Muhammad because it says
1:26:23to judge by it.
1:26:25Chapter 5 verse 47 and it says the
1:26:27gospel that's with them 7:157.
1:26:30And even quotes the parable of Mark.
1:26:32Mark 4:27-28.
1:26:34In chapter 48:29 of the Quran and calls
1:26:37that the gospel.
1:26:40There's a parable only found in Mark
1:26:42uttered by our Lord. Mark 4:20-29.
1:26:45That is quoted in the Quran 48:29 saying
1:26:48and in the gospel this is their
1:26:49likeness. So identifies this parable as
1:26:52part of the gospel of Jesus Christ. Mark
1:26:544:27-28 you'll see it.
1:26:56But if you want to read 26 to 29 for the
1:26:58context.
1:26:59>> I'll read it. Mark 26 through 29. The
1:27:00kingdom of God is as if a man should
1:27:02scatter seed on the ground. He sleeps
1:27:04and rises night and day and the seed
1:27:05sprouts and grows. He knows not how. The
1:27:08earth produces by itself first the blade
1:27:10then the ear then the full grain in the
1:27:11ear. But when the grain is ripe at once
1:27:14he puts in the sickle because the
1:27:16harvest has come. Okay, so you see that
1:27:18parable it's only found in Mark. Now if
1:27:20he opens up the Quran 48:29
1:27:23if he goes to the Quran browser finds
1:27:25Quran browser
1:27:27whatever you can find online cuz there's
1:27:28not anyone. That's Sunnah not Sunnah.
1:27:30Find a Quran browser. If you go Google
1:27:31put Quran browser.
1:27:34Yeah, open up whatever you can find.
1:27:35It's right there I think it came up the
1:27:37first one.
1:27:39Go to 48 find chapter 48 of the Quran.
1:27:42Oh, you found it already man that was
1:27:43fast. Shoot.
1:27:45Go to 29. That was pretty good man you
1:27:47impressed me.
1:27:48All the way to 29. Now you remember what
1:27:50you just read? Yep. All right, so when
1:27:53he gets to 29
1:27:55read for me 28. But go down right there.
1:27:57Read it for me. Muhammad is the
1:27:58messenger of Allah and those with him
1:28:00are firm with the disbelievers and
1:28:01compassionate with one another. You see
1:28:03them bowing and prostrating in prayer
1:28:05seeking Allah's bounty and pleasure. The
1:28:07sign of brightness can be seen on their
1:28:08faces from the trace of prostrating in
1:28:10prayer. This is their description in the
1:28:13Torah and their parable in the Gospels
1:28:15is that of a seed that sprouts its tiny
1:28:17branches making it strong.
1:28:18>> Did you not just read that in Mark
1:28:194:27-28?
1:28:21Yeah, we did just read it. You just read
1:28:22that in Mark 4:27-28, right? It sounds a
1:28:25little different.
1:28:27It's in a translation. I should probably
1:28:28remind me of hanging myself. Okay, read
1:28:30it again, brother. He said, "Their
1:28:31parable in the Gospels that of a seed
1:28:32that sprouts its tiny branches making it
1:28:34strong. Then it becomes thick standing
1:28:36firmly on its stem to the delight of
1:28:37planters." We read Mark 4:27-28. One
1:28:40more time.
1:28:41>> He says You're you're going over a
1:28:42translation that you think it reads
1:28:44differently. Read Mark 4:27-28.
1:28:46>> He sleeps and rises night and day and
1:28:48the seed sprouts and grows. He knows not
1:28:50how. The earth produces by itself first
1:28:52the blade, then the ear, then the full
1:28:53grain in the ear.
1:28:55And their parable in the Gospels that of
1:28:56a seed that sprouts its tiny branch.
1:28:58Now, the word tiny, forget about it.
1:28:59Branch is making it strong. Then it
1:29:01becomes thick standing firmly on its
1:29:02stem to the light of the planters.
1:29:05I know you're like, man, but it's got to
1:29:06be word for word. Brother, this is
1:29:07Arabic. That's a Greek. Yep.
1:29:09The point is
1:29:11this Gospel contains this parable
1:29:15but it's quoting it in Arabic. You have
1:29:16it in Greek and on top of it you have an
1:29:17English translation that's more of a
1:29:19paraphrase than it's literal.
1:29:21If I ask you
1:29:22do you have anything that sounds like
1:29:24that in the Gospel?
1:29:26What would you tell me? I would say yes.
1:29:28The only place is Mark 4:27-28. Now, I
1:29:30see it has a number there right after
1:29:33the planters. Can you click on it?
1:29:35That's the four.
1:29:36>> says planters there's a number four?
1:29:38Yeah, right there.
1:29:39>> All right, let's see if it'll have a
1:29:40footnote. It tells you Mark 4:26-28 at
1:29:43the bottom at the end.
1:29:45>> Yeah. Now, this Muslim translation said
1:29:47what? In Matthew 13:3-9, Jesus spoke
1:29:49many things in parables saying, "Behold,
1:29:51the sower went out to sow.
1:29:53Now, a seed fell on the ground good soil
1:29:55yielding a crop some 100 fold, some 60,
1:29:58some 30. He who has ears, let him hear."
1:30:00Or the parable of the growing seed in
1:30:02Mark 4:26-28.
1:30:0428, who told you where to find this
1:30:06parable?
1:30:08The Quran.
1:30:10But, the note is from whom?
1:30:13Matthew and Mark.
1:30:14>> No, the note the note that told you
1:30:15where to find it. Is this a Christian
1:30:17site? No, this is Muhammad. Muhammad
1:30:20>> Not Muhammad, that's the Quran. The
1:30:22note, brother, the footnote. Muhammad
1:30:23didn't write the footnote number four.
1:30:25>> Right. Yeah, who did write that? The
1:30:26translators.
1:30:28The Muslims.
1:30:30Whoa. So, what did the Muslim tell you?
1:30:32Go look in the Bible. And you're going
1:30:34to find it on Mark. Yeah.
1:30:37Did you understand the connection? Yes.
1:30:39I want to shave your head for Allah and
1:30:41his messenger.
1:30:42>> [laughter]
1:30:42>> I mean, it's like it Okay.
1:30:44It just told you
1:30:46that at the time Muhammad, whatever
1:30:48gospel there was,
1:30:50it had this parable that is still found
1:30:52in Mark 4.
1:30:54So, they just told you that the Quran is
1:30:56quoting Mark 4:27-28
1:31:00for the larger context, 26-29, as the
1:31:03gospel that was there at the time of
1:31:05Muhammad.
1:31:07Cuz the gospel was there. It's saying,
1:31:08"Look, you want to know their likeness?
1:31:10You want to see the likeness of the
1:31:11Muslims in the gospel? Well, here, the
1:31:14gospel says this." And then the
1:31:16translator's saying, "Here's where
1:31:17you're going to find it, Mark 4." Here
1:31:19it says 26-28.
1:31:21It's 26-29, but specifically 27-28.
1:31:24Nonetheless,
1:31:26so the gospel of Jesus, according
1:31:28Muhammad, was there at the time of
1:31:31Muhammad. They had it. They were to
1:31:32judge by it. It was with them. So, then
1:31:35you have to ask the Muslims,
1:31:37historically, what is the gospel they
1:31:39had?
1:31:40This is now an issue of history. You got
1:31:42to look at the history.
1:31:44What is the historical data that tells
1:31:48us what gospel the Christians were
1:31:50reading at the time of Muhammad?
1:31:51Now, when you look at history, what
1:31:53would the answer be? What did they have
1:31:55at the time of Muhammad? They would have
1:31:57the same gospel that we have.
1:31:58>> They had your Bible. This is dilemma.
1:32:01When Christians know how to master this
1:32:03argument and present it correctly and
1:32:05not get stumped and confused. Because a
1:32:07lot of Christians don't even know how to
1:32:08present it so they get stumped. Oh, he
1:32:10stumped me. Well, because you didn't get
1:32:11the point. Yeah. Once you learn this
1:32:13argument, you learn how to use it,
1:32:16there's no way for them
1:32:18to get around it. They're now going to
1:32:20ignore you or dox you and threaten you
1:32:22because they can't refute you. Because
1:32:23the Quran says the Bible that the Jews
1:32:27and Christians had
1:32:29are the words of God, preserved by God,
1:32:32to be used by Jews and Christians to
1:32:34judge the truth of the Quran.
1:32:36Well, that's the problem I'm a Muslim
1:32:37because my Bible says that your Quran is
1:32:39not from God. My Bible says Muhammad is
1:32:41an antichrist. So, if I do what the
1:32:43Quran tells me to do, I got to reject
1:32:45Muhammad. Yeah. But if you tell me the
1:32:47Bible's corrupt, I got to reject
1:32:48Muhammad cuz he told me the Bible's not
1:32:49corrupt. This is Islamic dilemma for us.
1:32:51>> Wow. Okay, let me repeat back to you
1:32:53kind of just so I know that I'm
1:32:54tracking. So, they say
1:32:56that oh, the Bible's the Bible's got
1:32:58errors. The Bible's got errors. And and
1:33:00the Torah and the Injil confirm the
1:33:02Quran. So, it's like oh, test the Quran
1:33:04with the with the Quran.
1:33:05>> Islamic dilemma.
1:33:06>> And so, this is what it says. So, they
1:33:07say well, the Bible's corrupt. Well, if
1:33:08the Bible's corrupt, Quran is corrupt.
1:33:10>> it. But then if the Bible is not
1:33:12corrupt, Quran is still corrupt because
1:33:14our Bible would say
1:33:15>> Islamic dilemma, buddy.
1:33:16>> Let's go.
1:33:17>> That's the Islamic master that.
1:33:19Go watch the debates that Avery you had
1:33:21it because you interviewed him. The most
1:33:23recent one he just did.
1:33:24>> had a debate with Jake on Islamic
1:33:26dilemma. He schooled him. It was bad.
1:33:27So, I I I saw some clips from it and it
1:33:30was uh yeah, they they they just kind of
1:33:32don't know what to say.
1:33:33>> They were stumped. So, okay, I've got
1:33:36a few more questions concerning Islam
1:33:38and something I think
1:33:39>> I pissed another hour ago. Yeah, I think
1:33:41I think we're Yeah, we're chilling.
1:33:42We're chilling.
1:33:43>> Chilling like a villain. So, first
1:33:45question I got right now off the top of
1:33:46my brain is with Paul. I've seen a quite
1:33:50a few objections recently online.
1:33:52They're like oh, it's not
1:33:55R- [laughter]
1:33:56Guys, can you take a picture I want to
1:33:57see because I'm starting to lose the 40
1:33:59lbs I gained. I want to see if I look
1:34:00like I'm lean.
1:34:01>> [laughter]
1:34:01>> They say that this Christianity that we
1:34:03have is just Paul Christianity. It's not
1:34:06true. That's what I've seen online. What
1:34:07is that issue? Can you explain that?
1:34:09>> they have to find a scapegoat because
1:34:11the Quran says if now the screen is good
1:34:13for working good, man. Shoot, you got
1:34:15rid of that genie.
1:34:17>> [laughter]
1:34:17>> If you go to chapter 3 verse 52 of the
1:34:19Quran
1:34:20and 5 11, it says that Jesus followers
1:34:22are Muslims.
1:34:243 52
1:34:2752 Well, Quran, all right. Bam.
1:34:31You want to read it for us? Yeah. When
1:34:32Jesus sensed the disbelief from his
1:34:34people, he asked, "Who will stand up
1:34:36with me for Allah?" The disciples
1:34:38replied, "We will stand up for Allah. We
1:34:40believe in Allah, so bear witness that
1:34:42we have submitted." Now,
1:34:45so bear witness that we have submitted.
1:34:46The word submitted means Muslim. Bear
1:34:47witness we're Muslim. So, the Quran
1:34:49tells them Jesus followers are Muslims.
1:34:52If they're Muslims, then they they'll
1:34:53teach the same message of Islam, right?
1:34:55They should, if that's the case.
1:34:58But what do we find New Testament?
1:35:00Doesn't sound like Islam. Right. So,
1:35:02they got to find a guilty party.
1:35:05Either they're going to deny that Peter,
1:35:06James, and John are Jesus' disciples.
1:35:08Historically, they can't do that. Right.
1:35:10Impossible.
1:35:12Or they're going to have to find someone
1:35:14whom they think hijacked corrupt
1:35:15Christianity.
1:35:16So, then they go to Paul because Paul
1:35:19wasn't a disciple of Christ when Christ
1:35:22walked the earth.
1:35:23He comes later. Go, "Okay, he's the
1:35:24scapegoat. It must have been him because
1:35:27after all,
1:35:28the 27 books of New Testament,
1:35:3114 have been attributed to Paul. Why I
1:35:33say 14? Because historically, Hebrews
1:35:35was attributed to Paul.
1:35:37That's
1:35:39half your New Testament.
1:35:40>> Yeah. Right? If you
1:35:41>> Yeah. Right.
1:35:42>> Half.
1:35:42>> Yeah.
1:35:44Paul gave you half of your New
1:35:45Testament. He's been the most
1:35:47influential Christian on the church,
1:35:49more so than the other apostles. Mhm.
1:35:52So,
1:35:53he's the one who corrupted Christianity.
1:35:55He's the one who changed the message of
1:35:56Christ. So, that's the why they do it.
1:35:58That they got a problem.
1:36:00This is part of the Islamic dilemma. If
1:36:02Paul corrupted Christianity,
1:36:05then that means Islam is false again.
1:36:07Because there are two promises in the
1:36:09Quran.
1:36:10And we have articles on my blog and also
1:36:13we've done sessions on it. Chapter 3
1:36:15verse 55 the Quran. If the screen goes
1:36:17up, he brings it up, I don't know.
1:36:19And chapter 61 verse 14 screen went out
1:36:20again. 355.
1:36:23Right? Yep.
1:36:24There it says,
1:36:26By the way, your screen is not on, guys.
1:36:28There it says,
1:36:30Allah said to Jesus, "Oh Jesus,
1:36:33I am going to cause you to die
1:36:36and raise you to myself
1:36:38and I'll make those who follow you
1:36:41superior to those who disbelieve till
1:36:43the day of resurrection."
1:36:45So, what's the promise?
1:36:47What did Allah say to Jesus supposedly
1:36:49Isa?
1:36:50"I will make those who follow you
1:36:52superior to those
1:36:55who disbelieve." Mhm. So, what's the
1:36:58promise? Who's going to be victorious?
1:37:00Who's going to win?
1:37:01The believers. Right? Yep.
1:37:04And then he says, "Till the day of
1:37:06resurrection." I don't know if he has it
1:37:07up. 355. If he has it up it's up but
1:37:10we're going to do what we can.
1:37:11Till the day of resurrection. So,
1:37:13Allah says, "I'm going to take you to
1:37:15me.
1:37:16But don't worry. Those who believe in
1:37:17you will be superior, uppermost dominant
1:37:20over disbelievers till the day of
1:37:21resurrection." Mhm. Right? Till the day
1:37:23of resurrection. By the way, brother, if
1:37:25you get it up before the rapture so we
1:37:26don't leave you behind. Oh, is it up?
1:37:28Are you going to give him a discount for
1:37:29renting this place?
1:37:31You going to get a discount now?
1:37:33I don't know because you know
1:37:33>> He said 355.
1:37:34>> 355, yes. I love this guy, brother. It's
1:37:37like, "Dude, man, we never had a guy
1:37:38like this." So, well, hey man, the guy's
1:37:40running out of time.
1:37:42Remember when Allah said, "Oh Isa,
1:37:44Jesus, I I take you and raise you up to
1:37:46myself. I will deliver you from those
1:37:48who disbelieve and elevate your
1:37:50followers above disbelievers until the
1:37:52day of resurrection, day of judgement.
1:37:54So, who won?
1:37:56The believers. And how long will they
1:37:57remain victorious? Till the day of
1:37:59resurrection.
1:37:59>> Okay. Now, if he brings up 61:14 before
1:38:02the screen goes up, it says Allah kept
1:38:04his word. 61:14.
1:38:07Allah kept his word.
1:38:0961:14.
1:38:12So, Watch here.
1:38:15All believers stand up for Allah as
1:38:17Jesus son of Mary asked the disciples,
1:38:19"Who will stand up with me for Allah?"
1:38:21Disciples replied, "We will stand up for
1:38:23Allah."
1:38:24Then a group from the children of Israel
1:38:26believed while another disbelieved. We
1:38:29then supported the believers against
1:38:32their enemies, so they prevailed. So,
1:38:33who prevailed?
1:38:35The believers.
1:38:36And how long will they prevail? Till the
1:38:38day of resurrection. But, if the Muslims
1:38:40are right, Paul destroyed their message
1:38:42and defeated them.
1:38:45Hm. So, what does that mean for the
1:38:47Quran now? It's false.
1:38:49So, everything really stems back to this
1:38:51dilemma. Yep. Wow. If Paul corrupted
1:38:53Christianity, he That means either your
1:38:55God Allah lied, or he was too powerful
1:38:58for your God.
1:38:59So, Paul is greater than Allah. Woah.
1:39:01And then that's committing shirk. What
1:39:04You're saying God is a fake God. Yeah.
1:39:06>> Because if a creature,
1:39:08Paul, a creature, can defeat your God,
1:39:12your God is nothing.
1:39:14The only option is Paul was a true
1:39:16messenger,
1:39:17true messenger,
1:39:20sent by Allah as part of the victorious
1:39:22party. And here's where it's going to
1:39:24get shocking.
1:39:26There are Muslim commentators,
1:39:29Ibn Kathir, Qurtubi. These are big
1:39:31names. You'll learn them as you study
1:39:32Islam. That all admit Paul
1:39:35traveled with Peter,
1:39:37accompanied Peter,
1:39:38and preached the gospel of Christ in
1:39:40Rome, and they were both martyred there.
1:39:42They even list Paul as a follower of the
1:39:45apostles
1:39:46who had the right hand of fellowship
1:39:47with the apostles, and he was a true
1:39:50representative of Christianity. Wow.
1:39:52Interesting.
1:39:53>> I'm sure it's not.
1:39:53>> So so so let me let me reiterate
1:39:55actually everything you said. So in 355
1:39:58and in this 61:14, it says the same
1:40:00thing Yep. that Jesus's
1:40:03Jesus followers
1:40:04>> says Jesus followers, who's going to
1:40:06preach my message? And his disciples
1:40:08say, we're going to preach the message.
1:40:11The Quran is saying this. So therefore
1:40:14this argument is they're accusing one of
1:40:16the followers of Jesus for not preaching
1:40:18the message.
1:40:18>> accusing Paul of destroying the message
1:40:21of the followers and defeating them.
1:40:23I see.
1:40:24>> they be defeated?
1:40:25No, they can't according to the Quran.
1:40:27Cuz in in 352 through 55, it said that
1:40:31they would they would stay till the day
1:40:33of resurrection. Yeah, they do one,
1:40:35right? And then the 61:14, which the
1:40:36screen went off again. Yeah. Lord have
1:40:38mercy on us, Lord.
1:40:40I pray that when you bring destruction
1:40:42on the earth, destroy this TV set.
1:40:45Destroy [laughter] it completely that it
1:40:46never sees the day of life.
1:40:49Lord, because I know I'm impatient, but
1:40:51Lord, I know when I prayed for patience,
1:40:52but not this way, Lord. Some other way.
1:40:55Cuz I'm going to be a doctor by the time
1:40:57this is over. I'm going to have so much
1:40:58patience. Sorry.
1:41:0061:14 said
1:41:02that we aided those who believed and
1:41:06they won.
1:41:08If Paul hijacked Christianity, he
1:41:11defeated them and vanquished them, and
1:41:13they lost.
1:41:15So what's the story?
1:41:18Either the Quran is false or it's not.
1:41:20Dang. Wow, that's so fascinating. So I
1:41:24Wow, that just I feel like now when I
1:41:26watch all the Muslim apologetics and
1:41:28stuff like that, you're right, they
1:41:30really just try to trip you up, but
1:41:31everything stems back to the same
1:41:33argument. Like you're just you're just
1:41:34disproving yourself.
1:41:36>> to the root. You're dealing with
1:41:37symptoms. Well, as I as I said, "Hey,
1:41:39that's good. Muhammad is a liar then."
1:41:41What? You said there's a contradiction
1:41:43in the Bible. Muhammad is a liar. Why
1:41:45are you a Muslim? What? What do you
1:41:46mean?
1:41:47Yeah. No answer. No, I'm not answering.
1:41:49I want now
1:41:51Okay, you just destroyed my faith in the
1:41:52Bible, but I can't be a Muslim. So, I
1:41:54should be a Buddhist.
1:41:56Because Muhammad told me this Bible is
1:41:59the uncorrupt word of God. You believe
1:42:00in him, I don't. I don't care for his
1:42:01opinion.
1:42:02But if I believe him,
1:42:05then I have to believe in the Bible. But
1:42:06you're telling me not to believe in the
1:42:07Bible, which means you're telling me
1:42:09don't believe him.
1:42:10So, then what are you leaving with? What
1:42:11do you want me to become? Hindu?
1:42:14Buddhist or agnostic? What do you want
1:42:15me to become? Cuz you definitely just
1:42:17convinced me not to become a Muslim.
1:42:19>> [laughter]
1:42:19>> Interesting. That's how you do it,
1:42:21brother. Show it.
1:42:21>> Wow. So,
1:42:23Okay, second question is is more These
1:42:25These next couple are really about
1:42:27Muhammad. Um I wanted to talk about
1:42:29Muhammad marrying Aisha. Aisha, Aisha,
1:42:33smoke some hashish. So,
1:42:34>> Go to sunnah.com, my friend. sunnah.com.
1:42:39>> [laughter]
1:42:39>> It's the genie. The genie got the TV.
1:42:42>> Sorry, go ahead, ask me. I'm probably
1:42:43going to have to just
1:42:43>> So, Aisha, from what I understand, and
1:42:46and correct me if I'm wrong, but the the
1:42:48way that I I have discovered is
1:42:51Muhammad goes to
1:42:53Baka. Is that his Baka?
1:42:55>> Abu Bakr. Abu Bakr? I like Baka, though.
1:42:57You like Baka?
1:42:58>> that one, yeah.
1:42:59>> So, he goes to Baka and he says
1:43:01>> yeah. He says, "Hey,
1:43:03Allah told me that uh Well, he He How it
1:43:07went was
1:43:08I want to marry your daughter.
1:43:10He goes, "But you're my brother."
1:43:12And then Muhammad said, "Yeah, but we're
1:43:13brothers in religion.
1:43:15But she's still lawful for me."
1:43:17Other traditions say that he had a dream
1:43:19where Jibril brought her
1:43:21covered.
1:43:23Right? So, he saw a dream of her. She
1:43:24was covered, and then
1:43:26it was revealed, she's your wife. So, he
1:43:29had fantasies of her.
1:43:31So, I don't I don't believe that's
1:43:33obviously Gabriel, that's Satan or a
1:43:35demon if he really had that. So, then
1:43:38all right. So, he contracts a marriage.
1:43:40Now, if you go in the search engine put
1:43:43Aisha a i s h a and then put nine n i
1:43:48Oh, you know how to spell nine. Why am I
1:43:49spelling it for you? And then dolls.
1:43:52You're going to see sunnah.com. How many
1:43:54dolls d o l l Now, that one not donuts,
1:43:58man. I know I look fatter than before my
1:44:00my friend.
1:44:02Sunan Nasai, the book of marriage. Now,
1:44:04notice the grade. It says sahih. Uh-huh.
1:44:07Volume four, book 26 hadith 3380. Read
1:44:10it for us. Wait, you said the There's a
1:44:11grade Oh, I see the grade right there.
1:44:13The messenger of Allah
1:44:15married
1:44:16>> Who's narrating it? Read who's narrating
1:44:17it.
1:44:18It was narrated by Aisha. So, Aisha
1:44:20herself narrated it.
1:44:22All right. So, personal testimony
1:44:25the messenger of Allah, referring to
1:44:26Muhammad married me when I was six
1:44:29and consummated the marriage with me
1:44:31when I was nine and I used to play with
1:44:33dolls.
1:44:34>> That's how young she was. Oh my gosh.
1:44:36Okay.
1:44:37I got a couple questions. Well, there's
1:44:39more if you want to read it. I mean,
1:44:40it's I do I I do I do want to read it.
1:44:41Wait. And the other one is Sahih Muslim.
1:44:44You don't need to click on it, brother.
1:44:45Just stay on the main page. So, so so
1:44:47here's here's what I want to talk about
1:44:48here in particular. So, I've heard
1:44:51quite a few Muslims go, "Oh, well, she
1:44:53was it it was um
1:44:55she was at the age of maturity."
1:44:56>> No, she wasn't. There's no way.
1:44:58>> No, not only that.
1:45:01Islam forbids
1:45:02having images like dolls.
1:45:05But, if you read it when Muhammad took
1:45:08her to the house to then have sex with
1:45:09her, she was playing with dolls. Why?
1:45:11Cuz the Muslims say
1:45:14because she was premature and reached
1:45:16puberty, she was allowed to play with
1:45:18dolls. Mhm.
1:45:19It's when she reached puberty, she had
1:45:21to stop. Now, they said that she stopped
1:45:25playing with dolls at Khaybar. The when
1:45:27the battle Khaybar, she was she was
1:45:29around 14 years old when she reached
1:45:30puberty. So, according to the Muslims,
1:45:32she hadn't reached puberty till she was
1:45:3314.
1:45:34>> And where is that? That's in Ibn Hajar
1:45:36al-Asqalani
1:45:39his commentary on Bukhari, but it'll be
1:45:41here. It'll come up. Scroll down a
1:45:42little bit, brother.
1:45:44Okay, you see it right there? Fath
1:45:46al-Bari, page 143, volume 13. This is
1:45:49the commentary from Ibn Hajar
1:45:51al-Asqalani.
1:45:52>> That one right there that he's at.
1:45:53>> says Fath al-Bari, where it says
1:45:54narrated Aisha said Bukhari good manners
1:45:56and form al-Adab. Yeah. Now, before you
1:45:58read it, when you see in the parentheses
1:46:00at the bottom, this is Sahih Bukhari,
1:46:02volume 8, book 73, hadith 151.
1:46:05Where it says in parentheses Fath
1:46:07al-Bari, Mhm. page 143, volume 13,
1:46:10Fath al-Bari is the commentary on
1:46:13Bukhari by Ibn Hajar al-Asqalani. Got
1:46:16you.
1:46:18He is explaining the hadith. So, he's
1:46:20explaining why she was allowed to play
1:46:22with dolls when dolls images are
1:46:23forbidden. Now, read it. And and he's
1:46:25well respected. He's one of their
1:46:27greatest scholars, brother. When you
1:46:28want to go to the Bukhari and know the
1:46:30commentary, you go to him, Ibn Hajar.
1:46:33Okay, so this guy's saying that and he
1:46:34says
1:46:35>> First, he he's the hadith. Now, this is
1:46:37the actual hadith from Aisha. But, the
1:46:39words in parentheses are
1:46:41>> words. So, read it. I used to play with
1:46:43the dolls in the presence of the prophet
1:46:44and my girlfriends also used to play
1:46:46with me. When Allah's apostle used to
1:46:48enter, they used
1:46:50to hide themselves, but the prophet
1:46:52would call them to join and play with
1:46:54me. And then, this is Parentheses comes
1:46:55from Fath al-Bari, volume 13, page 143.
1:46:59What does it say?
1:46:59>> the commentary says that playing with
1:47:01the dolls and similar images is
1:47:02forbidden, but it was allowed for Aisha
1:47:05at the time as she was a little girl not
1:47:08yet reached the age of puberty.
1:47:11And then, I have the extensive
1:47:12commentary of his in one of my posts. If
1:47:14guys if you guys listening,
1:47:17go to answeringislam.blog.
1:47:20My articles are there. Use the search
1:47:22engine. Also, go to Sam I'm going to
1:47:25spell it out for you guys. Sam s h m n

1:47:32s h m n
1:47:36And then,
1:47:38I think I must spelled it.
1:47:40We can link it in the description.
1:47:42>> give it to you later because I
1:47:43misspelled theology when I started URL.
1:47:45I missed the o.
1:47:46>> [laughter]
1:47:46>> So, I made a stupid mistake. So, it's t
1:47:49h e l o g y.net, but I'll give it to you
1:47:52later. Yeah, it was a mistake, man. And
1:47:53then, answering Islam. So,
1:47:554,000 articles, all of it fully
1:47:58documented, and I quote Ibn Hajar
1:48:01who's being cited by what who is
1:48:04considered one of the greatest Salafi
1:48:05scholars of the 20th century, Bin Baz.
1:48:08He's explaining that Ibn Hajar says
1:48:11that Aisha
1:48:13stopped playing with dolls at Khaybar.
1:48:16Why? Because at Khaybar is when she
1:48:17reached puberty, and she was 14 years
1:48:19old. That means they're telling you she
1:48:21didn't reach puberty until she was 14.
1:48:23Wow.
1:48:25So, when they say she reached puberty,
1:48:27they're lying to you.
1:48:28Yeah.
1:48:28>> And besides, even let's say, for
1:48:31argument's sake, she reached puberty.
1:48:32How does that make her psychologically
1:48:36and physiologically ready
1:48:38Right.
1:48:38>> a 54-year-old man old enough to be your
1:48:40great great grandfather if you actually
1:48:42look at it cuz they get married young.
1:48:44Let's say Muhammad was married at 15.
1:48:47He had a kid. So, 15,
1:48:49he had a kid. 30, he's got a grandkid.
1:48:5345, he can have a great grandkid, right?
1:48:55Right. He's 54.
1:48:57He's old enough to be your great
1:48:58grandfather. Yeah, that's wild.
1:49:01So, this shows you how sick, demonic,
1:49:04and wicked these people are that would
1:49:06justify and defend this perverted
1:49:07practice. So, you mentioned something
1:49:09when they talk about the age of puberty
1:49:11thing, obviously, they're lying about
1:49:13it. There's There's a
1:49:15There I've heard that there's a ability
1:49:17where you can lie for the sake of Islam.
1:49:19It's called taqiyya
1:49:21and khida.
1:49:23Taqiyya because Muhammad said, "War is
1:49:25deceit. War is khida." And taqiyya
1:49:28concealment.
1:49:30According to even Sunni traditions, but
1:49:32this is actually
1:49:34more well known among Shia, but it's in
1:49:36the Sunni tradition.
1:49:38Chapter 3:28. In fact, bring up the
1:49:40Quran if you can again. I'll just show
1:49:41you that receipts here. This now thank
1:49:43the Lord it's open, man. Shoot.
1:49:44>> It's 3:28 3:28. 3 {colon} 28.
1:49:50Now watch here. Can you read for us?
1:49:51>> Yep. Believers should not take
1:49:53disbelievers as guardians instead of the
1:49:55believers. And whoever does so will have
1:49:57nothing to hope for from Allah. So
1:49:59notice you can't befriend unbelievers.
1:50:01So you read it? You're reading it fast.
1:50:02>> Yeah. Yeah, that's interesting.
1:50:03Believers
1:50:04>> so has no hope from Allah.
1:50:08Wow. You become friends with the kuffar,
1:50:10the disbelievers, Allah is your enemy,
1:50:13and you're no better than them. So if a
1:50:15Muslim becomes friends with me or you,
1:50:19they're no good in Allah's eyes. Only if
1:50:21it's for deceit, cuz then there's a
1:50:22condition. Whoa. Unless it is a
1:50:25>> Unless, see there's a condition. Wow. A
1:50:28precaution against their tyranny. And
1:50:31Allah warns you about himself, and to
1:50:33Allah is the final return.
1:50:35>> The only one reason why you'll befriend
1:50:37the kuffar, the disbelievers,
1:50:39is to protect yourself from
1:50:43their backlash.
1:50:45Why? Once they realize what your agenda
1:50:47is.
1:50:49Whoa. Like the now when you know the
1:50:50Muslims are here to rape our women,
1:50:52slave our children, behead us, and take
1:50:54over. What's your reaction going to be?
1:50:57You would want to fight back. So that's
1:50:59the tyranny that you need to protect
1:51:00against.
1:51:02Whoa. So then what you do is you deceive
1:51:04them.
1:51:06Don't tell them what Islam teaches
1:51:07because remember stage one? You're in
1:51:09stage one.
1:51:10Preach those suras to you your religion
1:51:13to be my religion.
1:51:15And is that why is that why for example
1:51:19like with what's going on in New York
1:51:21the the mayor is a Muslim he claims to
1:51:23be Muslim but he's
1:51:24>> mayor of New York you mean? Yeah mayor
1:51:25of New York City he claims to be Muslim
1:51:27but he also is Yeah he's really
1:51:30>> pro LGBTQ pro trans all that stuff is
1:51:32that because of the state where they
1:51:34are?
1:51:34>> he he's a unique
1:51:36personality. I don't know
1:51:38if he's just a liberal Muslim because
1:51:40not all Muslims believe.
1:51:42He'll play the Muslim card to get votes.
1:51:44I don't know.
1:51:46But there's a possibility he's towing
1:51:49the party line
1:51:51in order to deceive the non-Muslims
1:51:54that Muslims are peaceful until they
1:51:57have the upper hand. I really don't know
1:51:58what to say about it because again
1:52:01Islam murders homosexuals. Yeah.
1:52:05Islam is against and this is what's
1:52:07ironic premarital sex and yet you can
1:52:10have unlimited slave girls for sex. So
1:52:12it's a walking contradiction. That's
1:52:14chapter 4:23. So
1:52:16is he deliberately
1:52:19putting on this facade that he's a
1:52:21progressive Muslim that he's not a true
1:52:23Muslim according to traditional Islam.
1:52:24Traditional Islam he's a fake.
1:52:27Or is he really a Muslim
1:52:29but he has to go with the mentality
1:52:32mindset
1:52:34of the masses to deceive them disarm
1:52:36them so they don't see what the true
1:52:38agenda is. Only God knows the answer to
1:52:39that. That's very fascinating. So they
1:52:42these guys can lie
1:52:44Yeah in fact
1:52:45>> to deceive. I'm going to show you one of
1:52:46my articles. Okay. Go to
1:52:49answeringislam.info
1:52:50answeringislam.info.
1:52:56This is the website. Phenomenal website.
1:52:58>> is I I became the chief writer in 1999
1:53:01but Praise God. several years ago they
1:53:03stopped uploading.
1:53:05So I just started my own blog to
1:53:06continue. Now what you're going to do,
1:53:08brother, you're going to see it says
1:53:10polemic rebuttals in some blue.
1:53:13Now, they can't see it on your thing,
1:53:15right?
1:53:15>> Right. Right. But, we'll have it up.
1:53:16We'll have it up.
1:53:17>> Now, you're going to see it says Nadir
1:53:18Ahmed
1:53:19Nadir Ahmed
1:53:22All right, click there. You see where it
1:53:24says Islam is religion of peace up up
1:53:25there you see it says Go down there. Go
1:53:27down that row. It's the last one in that
1:53:29row. Is Islam religion of peace?
1:53:32Now,
1:53:33if you can do command F or control F
1:53:38put in t u q t u q.
1:53:43All right, right there. Stop there. See
1:53:45328?
1:53:47Uh yes.
1:53:48>> Okay, I quote that, but then I give you
1:53:50the commentary.
1:53:52That commentary is from Ibn Kathir,
1:53:54considered one of the greatest medieval
1:53:56Muslim commentators.
1:53:57In point of fact, if you ask any Muslims
1:53:59knowledgeable,
1:54:00when you interpret the Quran, you must
1:54:02consult the commentators.
1:54:05The greatest of whom are al-Tabari
1:54:08Ibn Kathir, the two Jalals, Jalalain uh
1:54:12al-Qurtubi, al-Zamakhshari, al-Baydawi.
1:54:14These are the men you look to in
1:54:17understanding the Arabic Quran,
1:54:19especially when you want to translate.
1:54:21Ibn Kathir is writing about 700 years
1:54:23after Muhammad's death.
1:54:25He is quoting
1:54:26sources that supposedly go back to
1:54:28Muhammad. Mhm. Now, watch where it says
1:54:30the prohibition of supporting the
1:54:32disbelievers. Mhm. This is the section
1:54:35where he's explaining 328.
1:54:37Do not
1:54:37>> take them as friends unless it's for
1:54:39security. Read Read where it says Allah
1:54:41prohibited his Allah prohibited his
1:54:43believing servants from becoming
1:54:44supporters of the disbeliever or to take
1:54:46them as comrades with whom they develop
1:54:49friendships.
1:54:49>> they befriend you?
1:54:52Literally
1:54:53for
1:54:54>> befriending you? Just to deceive you.
1:54:55Either because they're stupid, don't
1:54:57know Islam. Give them benefit of doubt.
1:54:58Not all Muslims know Islam. Really, they
1:55:00don't. I'm not trying to be They just
1:55:01don't, like Christians. But what about
1:55:03the Muslims who do know Islam?
1:55:06Why are they befriending you?
1:55:08When they hate you because I can
1:55:09>> Because then when we Because what it
1:55:11said in in chapter 3, it said
1:55:13>> commentary 3:28. Here's Now watch, read.
1:55:15Now here's why they befriend you. Keep
1:55:17reading. Rather than the than the
1:55:18believers, Allah warned against such
1:55:21behavior and when he said, "And whoever
1:55:23does that will never be helped by Allah
1:55:25in any way." Meaning whoever commits
1:55:27this act that Allah has prohibited, then
1:55:28Allah will discard them. Allah said
1:55:31next, "Unless you indeed fear a danger
1:55:34from them." Meaning except those
1:55:36believers who in some areas or times
1:55:38fear for their safety from the
1:55:40disbelievers. In this case, such
1:55:43believers are allowed to show friendship
1:55:45to the disbelievers outwardly
1:55:47but never inwardly.
1:55:49>> Wow.
1:55:49>> Pretend to be your friend, right? Wow.
1:55:51But now this part, the name is
1:55:53Al-Bukhari. That was the man. Yeah. Abu
1:55:56Ad-Darda is a companion of Muhammad. So
1:55:57it says, "For instance, Al-Bukhari
1:56:00recorded that Abu Ad-Darda" That's
1:56:02Muhammad's companion. What did Abu
1:56:04Ad-Darda say? We smile in the face of
1:56:06some people although our hearts curse
1:56:09them.
1:56:09>> What else do you want?
1:56:11Yeah, that's wild. That's wild.
1:56:13>> is Muhammad's companion.
1:56:14>> And then the taqiyya
1:56:15>> Al-Bukhari said that Al-Hasan said the
1:56:17taqiyya. That's it. Is allowed until the
1:56:20day of resurrection. In other words,
1:56:21you're allowed to lie till the day of
1:56:23resurrection.
1:56:23>> And but that's also according to the
1:56:25Quran. The day that the believers will
1:56:29So
1:56:29>> see us. So that's what the But I'm
1:56:31showing you, it's not my spin. No,
1:56:33you're a Christian anti-Muslim. You hate
1:56:36Islamophobe. And you're misquoting the
1:56:37verse. I'm Ibn Kathir, buddy.
1:56:41Wow, that is insane.
1:56:43So what your duty is
1:56:46start with your church. You don't When
1:56:48Muslims But you're losing Christians.
1:56:50You need to inoculate, educate
1:56:52Christians about this.
1:56:53>> Mhm. You got to teach them this. You
1:56:56have to hate Muhammad as much you hate
1:56:57Islam, not Muslims. Hate Muhammad as
1:57:00much Islam. See how filthy Islam is so
1:57:02they never ever consider becoming
1:57:03Muslim. And then show them the beauty of
1:57:05Christ and know their faith.
1:57:08Because most of the time in these
1:57:09conversations, you're addressing, let's
1:57:12say, the objections of others, not
1:57:14objections, sorry, the views of others,
1:57:16but you're not strengthening yourself in
1:57:18your own faith. Mhm. Yeah. I see what
1:57:20you're saying. Like more people are
1:57:21focused on winning the argument and like
1:57:23Yeah, and they're not
1:57:25learning why they believe. Like for
1:57:27example, the Trinity, which is the heart
1:57:28of our faith cuz our God is triune, he's
1:57:30a Trinity.
1:57:31>> Yeah.
1:57:32Are we ready to show from scripture God
1:57:34is triune and are we ready to deal with
1:57:35the objections that not just Muslims,
1:57:38anyone and everyone who's an
1:57:39anti-Trinitarian use the same arguments.
1:57:41There are now Christians who claim to be
1:57:42Christians, they're not
1:57:44cuz they they reject the true God, but
1:57:46they think they're not. Who are
1:57:47unitarians who say that Jesus is just a
1:57:49man?
1:57:50If we get so hung up on just debates,
1:57:53what I call spiritual blood baths,
1:57:55spiritual UFCs, where we just invite
1:57:58people in and want to wreck them and
1:58:00destroy them so we can get 2,000 or
1:58:013,000,
1:58:03that edifies no one. Yeah. It really
1:58:05doesn't. If you go, take my word, I want
1:58:07people to go take my word for it.
1:58:09Not take my word for it. Go and watch
1:58:11the live streams. Hey, Islam is false,
1:58:13prove me wrong. Over 90% of the time is
1:58:17wasted cuz you don't get any fruitful
1:58:18conversations. It's only Muslims coming
1:58:20mocking, attacking, ridiculing, and then
1:58:22you got to get rid of them. How does
1:58:23this edify anyone? Right.
1:58:25>> There's a place to refute and destroy
1:58:27objections,
1:58:29but it's more edifying to teach a
1:58:31Christian why you should trust the
1:58:32Bible,
1:58:34how does he know what the Bible is, and
1:58:36how do you know that the God of the
1:58:37Bible is triune, and that Jesus is God
1:58:38in the flesh, and how to answer these
1:58:39objections and what is salvation?
1:58:42That's what caused me
1:58:44to do what I did. When the guy, the
1:58:47Muslim attacked me, he was attacking my
1:58:49faith. He He verses where Christ could
1:58:51not be God.
1:58:52That's why if you go to the website
1:58:54here, if you see my articles, 98%
1:58:56material is all Christian-related. Here,
1:58:58in fact, go to the main page. Let me
1:59:00show it to you, and you can show them
1:59:01later.
1:59:02You'll see it, they won't.
1:59:03Okay, now, go to individual authors
1:59:06in the red, go down. And I'm not the
1:59:08only writer, I was the chief writer, but
1:59:09there are a lot of great writers here.
1:59:11Look for Sam Shamoun to the right at
1:59:13top. You see Sam Shamoun?
1:59:15Slowly, slowly scroll down. Look how
1:59:17many articles. And look at the title. It
1:59:18says, "Holy Spirit Jesus God as well."
1:59:20"Did Christ sacrifice appease the Father
1:59:22and the entire Godhead?" Just as he
1:59:24scrolls down slowly, look at all the
1:59:26articles, and 98% of them is about the
1:59:28Trinity, the deity of Christ, the
1:59:29authority of scripture, and salvation.
1:59:31Look, keep going, brother.
1:59:33You're going to be here all day, but go
1:59:34down. See? Wow.
1:59:37Praise God. Can you see that? Since
1:59:391999, it's there for free. Download it
1:59:41before the website disappear. Keep
1:59:43going, brother.
1:59:44Look.
1:59:45How much of it is all about
1:59:46Christianity? Yeah, that's beautiful.
1:59:48>> 98% of it, right?
1:59:49>> Yeah.
1:59:51Keep going, brother. Now, and then I
1:59:52attacked the Quran and Muhammad,
1:59:53obviously, but it's focused.
1:59:55Now, you see where it says former index
1:59:57page? This is the new format.
2:00:00The original format, now look, this is
2:00:01the original one.
2:00:03When he clicks on it,
2:00:04before you go down, this is when I
2:00:06started 1999. Look at the questions I'm
2:00:08answering from '99. A series of answers
2:00:11to common claims and question claims. If
2:00:13Jesus God, how can God die? If Jesus
2:00:15God, was he praying to himself?
2:00:18These are articles I started writing in
2:00:19the originally 1999. Wow. Those are And
2:00:21those I mean, I'm not even joking, those
2:00:23top two questions, that's what they
2:00:24always say.
2:00:25>> them? Yeah, that's What does it say?
2:00:27"Series of answers to common questions
2:00:29and claims."
2:00:31You need to know your faith more so than
2:00:33knowing Islam.
2:00:34If I scroll down, you'll see again, 98%
2:00:38is about explaining Christianity, the
2:00:41Trinity, the Bible, and salvation. Keep
2:00:43going. There's stuff on Islam, but not
2:00:45as much.
2:00:47Wow. Now, this is the website. If you go
2:00:49to my blog and the oh it's a my blog
2:00:52it's probably
2:00:5399.5% Christianity. Wow.
2:00:56In fact if you go to brother do
2:00:57answeringislam.blog
2:00:59answeringislam.blog
2:01:03.blog
2:01:04Yes so I am.
2:01:07And this is you?
2:01:07>> goes. Right there. Wow.
2:01:11Very cool.
2:01:11>> So
2:01:13it's great to talk about Islam. It's a
2:01:15threat but
2:01:17we need to know our faith. We need to
2:01:19know the scriptures. We need to know
2:01:20that the God of the Bible is real and
2:01:21truly experience him and truly know him
2:01:24and love him. And you're doing that but
2:01:25what I'm saying is
2:01:26not just going to church and praying.
2:01:28You got to pray and singing. Right.
2:01:30>> Knowing the scriptures, knowing the
2:01:33proof from scriptures why you believe in
2:01:34the trinity and Christ is God in the
2:01:35flesh. So keep that in mind. Yeah. Islam
2:01:38is going nowhere until Jesus comes. So
2:01:39even now that you know this now that you
2:01:41know this what are you going to do about
2:01:42it? Yeah it just makes me want to know
2:01:43my faith more.
2:01:45Right now
2:01:46even if you want to cure the problem of
2:01:47Islam
2:01:50I just told you they can lie to you. How
2:01:51you going to stop them? Go ahead give me
2:01:53a solution in America.
2:01:55Oh my goodness. Yeah I mean we just I
2:01:56think we talked about it at the
2:01:57beginning it's like if you try to limit
2:01:59their then they're going to limit you.
2:02:01>> Yeah and then if you don't limit them
2:02:02then they'll slowly but surely take over
2:02:04so there's no
2:02:04>> this is important.
2:02:08But what can we do? Just be
2:02:10>> thing we can do is love Jesus, worship,
2:02:12pray, read our faith and evangelize.
2:02:14That's all we can do.
2:02:15>> Yeah.
2:02:16Yeah.
2:02:16>> And obviously if it comes down to it
2:02:17defend yourself. You have the right to
2:02:19defend yourself. Bear arms.
2:02:21But that's all we can do brother. Yeah.
2:02:23Wow. An unhealthy fascination with Islam
2:02:25will cause paranoia and fear. Mhm.
2:02:27Wow. Right? No it does it does. I I Yeah
2:02:31I've a I've a really incredible friend I
2:02:33grew up with him like a he grew we grew
2:02:35up in the same area and
2:02:37loves Jesus just incredible but he had a
2:02:39period of time after his first year of
2:02:42following Jesus where he was like really
2:02:44going in on Islam because he had made a
2:02:47claim and then you know the Muslims
2:02:48would like you know mock and things like
2:02:51that towards him and
2:02:52then he went through that season of time
2:02:54where it was like a slight paranoia but
2:02:55then he realized kind of what you're
2:02:57saying like yeah I just need to know
2:02:59Jesus and love Jesus. That's beautiful.
2:03:02Um
2:03:03Okay well my final question for you
2:03:06before we close and I'd love to pray
2:03:07which by the way everyone listening or
2:03:08watching I'm going to link all these
2:03:10sites down below. I've been on
2:03:11answeringislam.org
2:03:13Yeah and then answeringislam.blog and
2:03:15then my website Put them all down there.
2:03:18It's it's wild how many you guys can't
2:03:21see it. It was just wild how many links
2:03:22are on there. Like I said the brother
2:03:24said who counted at 4200 articles just
2:03:27from me. Imagine everyone else. Yeah.
2:03:30And it's free so download them because
2:03:33we don't know how long the websites will
2:03:34be up. Download the articles because
2:03:36they're gone they're gone. I don't have
2:03:37them backed up. Wow. Okay. Okay and then
2:03:40um
2:03:41Yeah I guess final question this is so
2:03:43random but like the the the Mecca the
2:03:45cube Yeah. Where did that come from?
2:03:49It's a
2:03:50>> [sighs]
2:03:51>> pagan artifact. In other words even the
2:03:54Muslims will tell you
2:03:56that prior to Muhammad
2:03:59the Arabs were steeped in idolatry.
2:04:02They had about 360 idols.
2:04:05And so they'll admit yeah the Kaaba
2:04:07housed idols.
2:04:09The Arabs were idolaters. They
2:04:10worshipped gods and goddesses and the
2:04:13chief god of the Kaaba Mecca was Hubal
2:04:16or Hubble.
2:04:17Hubble is actually Baal. This is the
2:04:19text along Yeah it is. I I've I've
2:04:21documented from Muslim sources. Even
2:04:23scholars of Islam say yeah Hubble
2:04:26or Hubal
2:04:28Hubal means he is Baal or it can be an
2:04:31Arabized
2:04:33bastardization of Hebrew Habal
2:04:36the Baal. Now how do we know that Hubal,
2:04:38the chief idol of
2:04:39the Kaaba in Mecca, is Baal? Because the
2:04:42Muslim sources say a man named Amr
2:04:44Amr bin Luhayy
2:04:46went to the Amalekites.
2:04:49Says it. He was in the Levant, Syria,
2:04:51Jordan.
2:04:53And in Syria, they gave him the idol,
2:04:55their chief god. Mhm. And imported it
2:04:57back to the Kaaba. Well, you know the
2:04:59chief god of the Moabites and Amalekites
2:05:00were?
2:05:01Baal.
2:05:02>> Wow. So, what did he bring back? A false
2:05:05god.
2:05:06Ooh, the name what? Baal.
2:05:08So, the Kaaba was a shrine of Baal. It's
2:05:11Baal worship.
2:05:12>> Wow. So, is that what's inside the door?
2:05:14No, it's gone now. Everything's gone.
2:05:15What's inside of there?
2:05:16>> about the black stone? I'm I'm talking
2:05:18about the black stone itself.
2:05:19>> yeah. That That too is a pagan artifact,
2:05:21but
2:05:22Muslims like to rewrite history.
2:05:24So, you ask them, "So, was it true that
2:05:26at the time Muhammad, the Arabs were
2:05:27pagans and idolaters, and they
2:05:29worshipped gods and goddesses, and Hubal
2:05:30was the chief god?" They'll say, "Yes."
2:05:32"But," they'll say,
2:05:33"originally, Ishmael lived there.
2:05:37And then Abraham came and visited
2:05:38Ishmael. They built the Kaaba as a house
2:05:41of worship, but in time,
2:05:42the descendants of Ishmael corrupted it
2:05:44and added gods and goddesses." So, they
2:05:46rewrite history.
2:05:48That's nowhere to be found in history.
2:05:50>> I will
2:05:51I'll take you to a mosque. We'll become
2:05:52Muslim. They give you pre-Islamic proof,
2:05:55shred of historical archaeological proof
2:05:58that Ishmael ever lived in Mecca. No
2:06:00evidence whatsoever.
2:06:01>> Yeah.
2:06:02Secondly,
2:06:04we don't even have any evidence for
2:06:07Muhammad being a physical descendant of
2:06:09Ishmael.
2:06:10That's based on a later tradition
2:06:12written over 100 years after the Quran
2:06:14was supposedly written.
2:06:16No proof whatsoever that the Arabs were
2:06:18Muhammad descended from in Mecca had any
2:06:22connection to Ishmael, because Ishmael
2:06:24his mother was Egyptian, Hagar. Genesis
2:06:2621:21 says, "She went and found him a
2:06:28wife from Egypt." His wife was Egypt.
2:06:31His father Abraham wasn't an Arab. He's
2:06:33got nothing to do with Arabs.
2:06:35Abraham is a Hebrew, descendant of Eber,
2:06:39Arpachshad.
2:06:41He Eber also means crossover. Mother
2:06:43Egyptian, he's African. His kids would
2:06:45be Hebrew and African. No connection
2:06:50with the Arabs of Mecca.
2:06:52Because according to their tradition,
2:06:53Ishmael lived there and married a woman
2:06:56from the tribe of Jurhum.
2:06:57Lie, there's no evidence for it. Yeah.
2:06:59And he settled the wilderness of Paran.
2:07:01Paran is by Egypt, Shur, and by Canaan.
2:07:04It ain't in Mecca.
2:07:06So, they had to rewrite this history in
2:07:08order to explain how is it a pagan
2:07:11shrine now becomes a house of Allah. Cuz
2:07:13originally it was built by Abraham and
2:07:14Ishmael. There is no proof.
2:07:15>> Yeah. It was a pagan shrine. That's all
2:07:18it was.
2:07:18>> That's very odd. Yeah. Um before we
2:07:20close, what what one thing, if you could
2:07:22encourage
2:07:23uh believers that that have listened,
2:07:26what what would you encourage them in?
2:07:28As I've said in the beginning, I'll say
2:07:29it again. You need to be anchored in
2:07:32your faith.
2:07:34You cannot be
2:07:36a master
2:07:38of all trades.
2:07:40Right? You can't, it's possible.
2:07:41>> Yeah.
2:07:41If God has called you to witness to a
2:07:43group, not everyone's going to be called
2:07:45to Islam.
2:07:46You may be called to Jehovah's
2:07:47Witnesses. Someone else to atheist. Stay
2:07:49in your lane. Learn what your gifts are.
2:07:51Stay in your lane. Don't cross over. So,
2:07:54if God has blessed you to destroy
2:07:55atheism philosophically, rationally,
2:07:57scientifically,
2:07:59and that's your calling, perfect your
2:08:00craft. But then don't think that
2:08:02qualifies you to don't go and debate
2:08:04Muslims. Leave that to others, learn
2:08:06from them. So, I don't debate atheists
2:08:07cuz I suck.
2:08:09And it's not about my ego, it's about
2:08:10truth. So, what I do is, you're an
2:08:12atheist? Here are these scholars, their
2:08:14websites, they demolish atheism. Go,
2:08:17listen, and try to respond.
2:08:19Now, if that's your calling, perfect
2:08:22your gifts, perfect your trade, but know
2:08:25your faith.
2:08:26The most important part of all of this
2:08:28is
2:08:29Christians are poorly educated. They
2:08:31can't even answer basic questions about
2:08:34the basic doctrines of their faith.
2:08:36Trinity, what is a trinity?
2:08:38Is Jesus God? If so, was he praying to
2:08:40himself? How can God die? How can God
2:08:43become a man?
2:08:45You need to know why you believe in the
2:08:47trinity because that is the heart of our
2:08:49faith. God is a trinity. God is not one
2:08:51person. God is one God three persons.
2:08:53They're not the same person and Christ
2:08:55who's God the son, not the father,
2:08:56became learn that.
2:08:58You need to learn why you can trust the
2:09:00Bible. Historically accurate, preserved.
2:09:03You need to know the evidence for the
2:09:04resurrection because our faith is
2:09:07anchored in the fact the historical
2:09:08Jesus was killed physically, buried
2:09:10physically, rose physically, left the
2:09:12tomb empty, and we have
2:09:15massive amount of historical evidence
2:09:16showing
2:09:17the resurrection as any event that best
2:09:20explains these facts. Learn the evidence
2:09:22that Christ like cuz if Christ is dead,
2:09:241 Corinthians 15, Paul says, "If Christ
2:09:26is dead, your faith is useless. Stop
2:09:29being a Christian." Yeah.
2:09:31If you don't know why the resurrection
2:09:32is a fact or if you doubt the
2:09:34resurrection, you're destroying your
2:09:36faith. And if the resurrection can be
2:09:37falsified, Paul is saying, "Go find you
2:09:39another religion." Mhm. Learn the
2:09:41evidence that Christ has been raised.
2:09:43The resurrection is a fact of history
2:09:45transforming the apostles. The Bible is
2:09:47historically accurate. God is triune.
2:09:49Learn your faith and then live it out.
2:09:52And then all of you listening, pray for
2:09:53us in the front lines cuz I've been
2:09:55doxed. I'm not the only one.
2:09:57Other apologists, Avery, him him and his
2:10:01wife, their address been doxed. The
2:10:03Muslims revealed their numbers, their
2:10:05address. They did it with me.
2:10:08They did it with others. In fact, if I
2:10:10would recommend, if you get a chance,
2:10:11there's another brother who's up and
2:10:13coming. He's great.
2:10:15Mike of Inspiring Philosophy. Yes, he's
2:10:17phenomenal. Interview.
2:10:19He's got great information. I've been
2:10:20seeing him recently. I love his stuff.
2:10:22>> yeah, interview. And this is will hear
2:10:24this? Yeah. Hey Mike, love you, brother.
2:10:26Keep going the way you're going. Stay
2:10:27humble. Pray for me. The Lord have mercy
2:10:30on us. And I pray God prospers you. Him
2:10:33and his buddy Sam.
2:10:34Get a chance interview them.
2:10:36He's been doxed, too.
2:10:38We've been doxed. So, pray for us in the
2:10:40front line. Pray we don't fall in
2:10:41scandal cuz Satan wants to take us out
2:10:43and tempt us. Pray we're covered by the
2:10:45blood of Jesus. Pray the Lord protects
2:10:46our lives. And with me, the Lord help me
2:10:48to get healthier cuz I've let myself go.
2:10:51For the sake of my daughters, I see my
2:10:53daughters grow up to fall in love with
2:10:54the Lord. And the Lord bless my ministry
2:10:55and that I'm a man of integrity and
2:10:57provide. So, there you go. Amen. Would
2:10:59you pray? Would you pray that everyone
2:11:00would just fall more in love with Jesus
2:11:02and
2:11:03>> Man, that's all That's what it's about.
2:11:04Yeah, would you pray for everyone
2:11:05listening
2:11:06>> it, brother. Father, we come and ask in
2:11:08the almighty name of Jesus, your son. We
2:11:10ask first that you teach us how to
2:11:12praise you,
2:11:14how to pray to you, how to love you and
2:11:15adore you by the power of your Holy
2:11:17Spirit. Cuz we know what the scriptures
2:11:18say.
2:11:19Romans 8:26-27,
2:11:22it's the spirit that knows how to pray
2:11:25for us and through us and intercede.
2:11:28So, I ask that your spirit will sanctify
2:11:30this prayer of mine in the blood of
2:11:31Jesus to be acceptable and pleasing to
2:11:33you.
2:11:34So, I lift up Bryce, his his crew, his
2:11:37team,
2:11:38and all those who watch. I don't know
2:11:40who'll be watching. I don't know how
2:11:41many will be watching, but it's not
2:11:44about numbers, Father.
2:11:45Destroy pride, arrogance in all of us.
2:11:48The desire for fame and fortune and
2:11:50money. Purify our motives to be content,
2:11:53to do it
2:11:54for Jesus, to teach for Jesus, to make
2:11:58Jesus famous because he's infinitely
2:12:00beautiful when you get to know him as he
2:12:02really is.
2:12:04And I ask, Father, that through these
2:12:07ministers and these young men,
2:12:09protect them they don't fall.
2:12:11Protect them from scandal. Strengthen
2:12:13them. And may they point people to
2:12:16Jesus, not to themselves, not to
2:12:18themselves, not to me. Destroy the cult
2:12:21of personality. Guard our hearts
2:12:23to glorify Christ and show his audience
2:12:26just how infinitely beautiful you are
2:12:29once they get to know your real
2:12:30character
2:12:31by a proper understanding of scripture.
2:12:34And Father, we ask that you perfect our
2:12:36understanding of scripture, perfect our
2:12:38articulation of scripture, perfect our
2:12:40interpretation of scripture, and perfect
2:12:42our love and obedience to scripture
2:12:44because the Lord says if we love him, we
2:12:46will do his will.
2:12:48I pray you give us grace, strict
2:12:50discipline spiritually physically all of
2:12:52us
2:12:53to practice what we preach. Help us when
2:12:55we struggle weakness. Help us when we
2:12:56fall in sin cuz the flesh is strong and
2:12:59our spirit is weak, but you are greater
2:13:01than our flesh.
2:13:02Save us for your glory.
2:13:04By the power of the blood of Jesus
2:13:05Christ, seal us by the spirit. May your
2:13:08spirit own us fully
2:13:10fully and own all our possessions. Own
2:13:12our loved ones. Own my daughters fully.
2:13:15We want the spirit to own us, to be
2:13:17controlled by the spirit cuz your spirit
2:13:18is beautiful, glorious, and perfect, and
2:13:21majestic, and only
2:13:24intends what is perfect, good, and
2:13:26righteous for us cuz you are good. You
2:13:29are perfect. You are righteous, and your
2:13:31will is good.
2:13:33And your will is
2:13:34to be loved by you and to be in love
2:13:36with you and live forever with you, with
2:13:38Jesus, and with the Holy Spirit. May the
2:13:40blood of Christ wash us, purify us
2:13:43against our flesh, against sin, against
2:13:45the world. May we be more than
2:13:46conquerors as we crush the evil one by
2:13:49the power of the blood of Jesus Christ.
2:13:53And we finish the race because until the
2:13:55Lord comes, physically we die
2:13:57and then he'll return and raise our
2:13:59bodies, but in the interim, if we die,
2:14:01our spirits are with him if we die in
2:14:03fellowship with him and we want Jesus.
2:14:06It's not about ministry. It's not about
2:14:09just arguing. It's about
2:14:11Jesus. To see him, to physically touch
2:14:14him, to be touched by physically held by
2:14:16him. Kiss his feet cuz he's the source
2:14:18of love.
2:14:20Hell is
2:14:21not having Jesus. Heaven is where Jesus
2:14:24is. And I pray we'll be with him
2:14:26forever. We thank you, Father. We thank
2:14:29you, Lord Jesus. We thank you, Holy
2:14:30Spirit. Again, preserve this young man,
2:14:33his ministry,
2:14:34and preserve me as well for the glory of
2:14:36Jesus Christ. In the name of Jesus we
2:14:38ask this. Amen. Amen. We're going to go
2:14:40to the
2:14:41Thank you for being here.
