Let Us Reason - A Christian/muslim Dialogue

Muslims attack the doctrine of the trinity saying that christians worship three gods.  They also say that the term trinity is never mentioned in the bible.  Al Fadi explains that the muslim doctrine of tawheed does not mean one,but means to unify into one.  Also the word tawheed is not mentioned in the Quran.  Listen to the episode to learn more. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Al Fadi explains the meaning of Christmas; that it is the birth of Christ who came to the world as a baby.  God in the flesh. He fullfilled old testament prophecies and died on the cross to save us from our sin.  He took our punishment to satisfy God's justice.  And if we believe in him we are saved and have eternal life. But if we don't believe we are under God's judgment and wrath(John 3:16-18). See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Al Fadi discusses two facebook posts that deals with the doctrine of Tawheed in Islam:  1. If Allah is one, why is it then that Muhammad is made equal to him? ie. Q 3:31& 48:10.    2. If Allah is one and worthy of worship,why then did he ask the angels to prostrate to Adam?Q15:29. Allah =Adam   3. He also talks about a public challenge on Dec 10, saying: If Muhammad is not a god, then prove to us that muslims can be saved without mentioning the name of Muhammad next to Allah in the shahada?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Al Fadi talks about two FB posts; 1. Dec.5.  he calls it "Massive Dilemma" ; Q33:56, says that "Allah and the angels pray upon Muhammad..". How can a creator pray upon a creature? 2. Dec.2.  A claim that the Quran is infalable, perfect and complete book. If muslims are honest to themselves they can't claim that the Quran has never changed through the years. Al gives the reasoning behind that.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Al Fadi talks about three facebook posts: 1. Jesus is God according to the Quran. In John 5:21-29, Jesus says that he has the power to raise the dead, give eternal life, and judge the world. Since the Quran agrees that Jesus raised people from the dead and he is going to be the judge, therfore the Quran agrees that Jesus is God. 2. The Quran says that God spoke to some messengers directly(Moses); If Muhammad was the final prophet,  why didn't God speak to him directly? 3. If Muhammad is a prophet like Moses why didn't he preach salvation by blood attonment?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What is the earliest Quranic manuscripts called,and what century is it dated to? What is the modern day standard Quran called?

Al Fadi talks about what Jesus' came to do with the law(Matthew 5:17)? What did Jesus' fulfillment of the law accomplish?

Al Fadi responds to the claim by a muslim that in Mark 9:49,Jesus said that" all christians will go to hell". Al explains what Jesus really said and why. He points out that there was no mention of the word christian in the verse. Does the Quran say that muslims will go to hell?  He explains the reason for blocking. Al also discusses the original sin and what  muslims and the Quran say it is. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Al Fadi discusses a facebook post called,Serious Dilemma, on Oct. 17, about Q96: 1.  He says:Muhammad claimed that verse to be the first revelation he had ever received from Allah through Gabriel when he was in the cave. He goes on to explain that Q96:1 never says that Muhammad is the intended person, nor the Quran is what is revealed, not that Allah is the one who revealed it, nor that Gabriel was the one who delivered this revelation.  He challenges muslims to resolve this serious dilemma.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Al Fadi talks about the challenge that a muslim posted  on October 11 that the doctrine of the trinity is unbiblical.  Al Fadi explains that though the word trinity is not found in the Bible,but the concept is found all over the old and the new testaments.  He counter the challenge by another post on October 14 that  says :"prove to us that the word "Ahad" means one from the  Quran".  You can go to Cirainternational u tube for more details.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Al Fadi introduces a new U-tube video series called; "Scripture Twisting 101".  He also discusses some verses from the Quran; using a reverse apologetics technique.  The reason is to counteract the way muslims use the Bible to talk to christians.  And to help muslims think for themselves about what they have been told to believe.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
