  • Subhanallah, this man remembers me of a uncle ... hehe Salam Alaikoum.

  • The man who was questioning himself was a fool person. He is totally ignorant person about the spiritualism in religion. Pastor was confused because he was dealing with the spiritual issues but the man was talking about the man made criminal laws. It is a bad example of ignorance. Pastor is actually a confused and not prepared for the debate.

  • How can Jesus die for only Christians, if a Christian is one who believes in the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ? Also, being able to remember all the verses has absolutely nothing to do with being a good Christian... This guy has no idea what he's talking about.

  • Oh MY GOODNESSS!!!! That Pastor must have felt like such a dwarf.

  • Mr.Christian here said that Jesus did die for the whole mankind, but he didn't give even ONE single statement from the bible where it says that Jesus did die for the whole mankind . Even if it did, it was probably not what Jesus did say, because Jesus did in fact not even say that he was come'd to die for the sins of the mankind. I challenge anyone to give me one single statement where Jesus says that he will die for the sins of mankind.

  • @Drageheren Joh_1:29 The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.

  • @Drageheren smitten by him, and afflicted. i hope this answers your question

  • I'm sorry, but I watched this video through twice and I don't understand what the 'simple' question is that the man is asking and/or how that destroys the whole of Christianity, or any of it for that matter. Seriously, i'd apreciate anyone messaging me to clarify. Thanks

  • thumbs up!

  • PWNED!

    Bless you Brother

  • this indian man is sad. he feels he has no one in life. life needs patience. you cannot get everything in your hands what you want.

  • lol well, he was shamed, wow, he is a cristian and cant quote a verse from the bible, lol wow

  • the questioner has a point, but at the same time I don't think it was right for him to embarrass him in the end like that...

  • very nice

  • We Need Persons Like This Brother Who Can Speak Bravely These Days...

  • I agree!

  • ha ha ha ha ha

  • Amazing man, the Christian dude was stumped. Jesus was not a God of Man but he is indeed a Man of God.

  • Mr. Jesus..hahaha. nice one.

  • We (Muslim) worship the creator not the creation. Jesus was a creation there for we dont worship him. He ate, drunk, digested and went to the toilet. God dont need that. Jesus was a messanger, a beloved messenger of God, alhadulillah. nice video. God has always existed, but Jesus came into existion, therefore he was a creation- a special creation, but still a creation, he had a creator and he worshiped his creator. we worship the creator Jesus worshiped and we loe love the prophets. peace.

  • May Jesus Christ heal you people.

  • Jesus Christ (Peace and blessings be upon him) does not heal. It is God the Creator of you, me and Jesus Christ (Peace and blessings be upon him) who can heal.

  • see thats when your wrong, when you say jesus Christ cant heal your saying his not God, and when you say his not God you say that God's ability and power is limited. see thats the difference between Christian God and Muslim God. we can pray to God anywhere because His all powerful and mighty, and sees all.....but the muslim God is only in the east, he cant hear you when you pray to Him anywhere else...proves Allah has no power or authoirty over the world.

  • @hijakd69

    Who said that God (in Arabic Allah) is only in the East? The East for you can be the West for someone else. For example, you profile shows that you're from Barbados. Europe is in your East if you go by the Atlantic and you West of you take the Caribbean then the Pacific.

    God says: "And He is with you wheresoever ye may be. And Allah sees well all that ye do." [The Qur'an 57:4]

  • we,muslim,perform solah or pray by facing to Kaabah (in Macca)...wherever muslim in this earth we do the same...that shows the unity of islam...for Mr.@hijakd69 here the answer for,i'm quot fro Quran, 2:168 "When My servants ask thee concerning Me, I am indeed close (to them): I listen to the prayer of every suppliant when he calleth on Me: Let them also, with a will, Listen to My call, and believe in Me: That they may walk in the right way." May Allah SWT guide us all...Astaghfirullah...

  • dude stop talking crap.

    the right path is quran its the words of god

    and its 100% proof

    i am proud to be a muslim

    Marshallah

  • he is the Lord of the east and the west north and south

    everywhere

    EWNS

  • @hijakd69 Allah has power over all things and is able to do whatever he intends in the Quran He says that "It is not befitting to (the majesty of) Allah that He should beget a son. Glory be to Him! when He determines a matter, He only says to it, "Be", and it is."

  • @hijakd69 btw man allah and god are the same being :P just islam have different rules etc. and just because muslims go to meccah on hajj, it doesnt mean allah isnt everywhere, he is everywhere, its just meccah is a holy place

  • @qwerty0019 haha! even the Quran say Jesus healed, You say He cannot?

  • @JayEvangelist09

    The Quran says Jesus (peace be upon him) healed by Allah permission.

    Without Allah permission, no one can heal.

  • @qwerty0019 Yes, I know that, but my point was that Isa al Masih did heal and you said He did not. Have nice day

  • He loves Islam, thats why he turns his back to him, because he thought that guy over there is a great scholar, but this guy is smarter than him. He thought, I am here today to learn something, but no he teached the christian. Understanding his question makes a lot of questions clear. Christ is crusified because of the sins of human being. Thats what christians say. Lets say I was a christian and I kill someone today, i can say to the court that christ took al my sins.. thats rubbish

  • Great questions and exactly, no one can really answer them, because this whole idea that Jezus is said to be crisified is wrong and doesn't exist. Soebhanallaah, how can someone claim to be a believer when he doesn't even know what his holy book says and this 'holy' book differs depending on whose book it is?

  • Jesus's life lies at the centre of Islam, Judaism and Christianity.

    He is the fulcrum.

    His love, wisdom and sacrifice are there for all to see.

  • SubhaanAllah, and one request to everyone, whenever anyone write Allah's name either like mashaAllah or InshaAllah, Please write Allah with capital A.

    Regards

    M. A. G. M.

  • I want to see how can christians can handle that questions ....

    good questions ...

  • Even though I agree with the questioner's points, I did not like the way he went on to humiliate the Christian scholar. The conversation should've been more fair. And even though I know the Christian man wouldn't have had any convincing answer for this, still the questioner should've been more polite conveying his statements.

  • Muslims are the ONE AND ONLY AND ALLAH IS EVERYONE CREATOR AND DESTROYER

  • lollllll Mr Jesus he goes

    hahahahahahaha muslims are funny hahahahahahaha

    mashallah

  • for those who still dun understand or confuse...go read the quran,its all there,everything is written correctly.

    ^^

    peace

  • If Jesus (pbuh) was mankind saver. Then Why is there a judgement day? Think about it.

  • Prettyboynuque21! lool you spot it on brother. Excatly why would we have a judgement day for all people (including christians) when jesus (peace be upon him) had forgived all sins. Trust me mates, Islam is the only and one religion. Stop confusing others. Athiests have been thinking that religions are all fictions and poetry. They think that because they see a lot of people making their own religion. Islam is true, it was the only message to all humankind . That God is one (Allah in arabic).

  • ooh boy that was funny.. christian got owned good!

  • There is no compultion in religion; Right one hence is distinct from error. Islam - Peace

  • every messenger was helped by GOD and yet you call jesus(peace be upon him) GOD, son of GOD

    quran 7:191/192

    191. Do they attribute as partners to Allah those who created nothing but they themselves are created?

    192. No help can they give them, nor can they help themselves

    only God can help them

  • if you believe that Jesus took our sins then why we still see people born with sin, are the prophets before Jesus baptized themselves, did they call people to believe in Jesus, why don't we see that in previous scriptures, bible (old testament) prophet Moses had a message to worship one God and not Jesus.If jesus came to mankind why he waited to last moment, how about the other people before him?

    it is realy complicated belief and so confusing.

    --continue below--

  • Now I have a few questions to Christians:

    1- who is more powerful Jesus or father?

    2- is Jesus said in Bible" I'm God and you must worship me" ? please don't use the verse (John 10 : 30 ) because doesn't mean I'm God.

    3- if Jesus is God and God died then who controlled the world in 3 days?

    4- Christmas = Jesus's birthday then your God has a day of birth, is that make sense to you?

    5- why don't we get all criminals from prison and forgive them, did not Jesus forgive their sins?

    peace

  • don't forget that Dec. 25 isn't really Jesus's birthday too

  • I don't blame you for being so confusing that way between man and God, because you don't have a good understanding of GOD definition, and what creator means.

    I believe you need to study this concept in Islam, I don't ask you to become Muslim but I encourage you to study how Muslims define God.

    the concept of belief is very important.

    Islam has explained very well the word : God and its attributes.

  • BRILLIANT ...aaah?....lol!!

    masha'allah

  • 5*****

  • WAT A QUESTION.MASHALLAH.

    The dumb guy just couldnt answer it.

  • OUCH that "Father" just got owned by that man ...wohooo ISLAM FOR LIFE!

  • What a Fish...There is no logic in Christian faith..

  • 5*****

  • Haha that was sooooo funny..... the questioner made me laugh, and I loved his little example at the end... and the bit at the end when he walked off was pretty hilarious, with the christian guy just standing their saying, 'shall i answeR?'..lol

    thanks 4 sharing...

    I've been watching a few of your other videos of Dr Zakir Naik-- he really is a genius no?? Have beenhis fan since a while..lol

  • it is funny, when some Christian talk about 3 in 1 i cant get, because there are 3 but they are ONE? it is soooo confusing. Those who convert to Christian, i dont know how they underatsnad..

    SALAAM TO MY BROTHER/SISTERS

  • religion is about to belive not to understand.

  • May Allah bless you brother.

    Thank you that you wrote the questions and answers. This was for me so helpfull, because it is difficult for me to understand the accent.

  • the problem is that you muslims need to convince the others about smth. - so you have a problem, that is your problem obviously

  • muslims wants to save the christians from there ignorance ! because no body know how is like our only god ! and it's a very great sin to qualify jesus a god jesus is a prophete like all the prophets

  • i totally agree with that. muslims try to turne everyone into their untruthful religion. its a biiiiiiig missunderstanding!

  • All the mercenaries in the world cannot convince me because i know for a fact that Christianity is the most diluted religion in the world!!!

  • that's why christians turn to be athiests

    what misrible believes they have?!

  • I'm a former christian and I found it to be too irrational and confusing, that's why I accepted Islam

  • mashaAllah.. Allahu Akber

    may Allah swt guide us to the path of those who were blessed.

  • agreed. And congrantualtions on your conversion to islam brother troy62 may Allah bless you and give you the highest station in paradise.

  • Its weird, I can't post a text comment in the words that I want to type - even though my words aren't derogatory or prejudice. It's as if my OPINION doesn't matter.

  • ???

  • me too i have a question for Christians. if they believe that Jesus is god's son. that means there was a god before jesus ok... so the father is higher than the son. so why u worship the son rather than worshiping the father. for instance who do u listen to? ur manager or ur manager's son!!!

  • Literal enterpretation of Allegorical (Symbolic/Metaphorical) texts, Christian or Islam, is Ignorance at its greatest.

  • lol

  • I think he gets confused about being a perfect Christian. :/

  • questionaire rockks

  • If you do not want that I write a commentary? You Just say it and I will stop. I even erase Youtube from my computer.

  • oooh I love you Dr. Mohammed Naik you are our rescuer.

  • Damn this question rocks

  • SEND A MUSLIM 2 HELL 2 DAY!!

    SQUIRT THEM WITH PIG BLOOD!!

    works every time :)

    instead of 72 virgins, they will suffer

    ETERNAL HELL :)

  • you don't go to hell if you have pig blood squirted on you by some retard...

  • Many of you have challenged Christians to show one error. I can only hope that the user allows me to speak openly without sencorship and I will show you an error in the quran.

  • There is no error in the Quran and everyone knows that even scientists who are not muslims believe that Quran is the word of God and everyone knows that simple as that

  • if it's easy to understand and is simple enough to follow then yes anyone will believe it to be the word of God, but since the Bible is very much misunderstood, then it is hard to believe in it..and it is hard to follow the law's of God, life wasn't meant to be easy it already is..and God let's me know that everyday..how is life easy, i have faith that God is in control of my life and nothing will harm me..it is Faith what makes life easy...without it we are lost in our own mentality.

  • To know more about islam, read this book

    The Bible, The Qur'an and Science

    by Dr. Maurice Bucaille

    witness-pioneer*org/vil/Books/ MB_BQS

  • I have a question for all muslims who think they know the quran. Who is Jibrail?

  • Gabriel is Allah's angel that revealed the quran to muhammad (pbuh) over a period of years.

    Anything else?

  • angel gabriel...

  • Well, I'm a muslim, but I think this guy is gotten really heated up. We are not to put people down, or even judge people.

  • this guy got some balls.. His mom should be proud of him.. what a question

  • owned loool..

  • excellent question and for those who believe this guy wants to kill  the speaker think again he is just tryin to make a point about jesus dyin for our sins which obviously is rubbish

  • The questioner was bang on when he said "You cant quote a single line from the Bible" and Pastor Rukni makes me laugh when he says there is sin and there is damage of sin and then the questionar replies back saying let me just tell you a simple thing..........

  • Thats how American Christian leaders kill people in other countries because they think Jesus will save them from sins. So they do what ever sins they want to do.

  • This Video was refreshing

  • yeah he did make a good point, however he was a bit agressive xD, like my brother halaghawani1 just stated "argue with them in ways that are best" that is so true. Peace to all ;D

  • HAHAHAHA LOL

    He OWNED that guy.

    "You say you are a believer but you cannot give me one verse from your bible."

    LOL

  • lol i like the way he exits at the end. proper dramatic. gota love it!

  • OK we agree the bible is messed up by human interpretation and intervention. Now read the Quran and tell the world if u find any error, THERE IS NO ERROR IN THE QURAN!!! read it and THEN speak about it!! God (Allah) himself challenges you to produce anything like that in the Quran! He CHALLENGES YOU!! find any fault in it.. in the Quran itself... God (Allah) Almighty himself gives man a challenge! Try it! You cant! you just cant!!! THEN WHY DONT YOU BELIEVE?? WHY??!! You have a brain, so use it.

  • well said bro

  • I cant believe how arrogant the belief of you people, The guy is talking about killing this speaker you guys are nutts,and you guys are promoting your religion wow dont want to have that religion where every body threatns to kill and every body in the audience starts to clap wow cool guys, i want to be like you hahah hahah

  • you are a full mann !!!

    this mann is saying, that he will converte to christianity and than kill this man becouse he have no since afte that you now"""

    and the gay is just qouting a point !!!

    dont be so stupid!!!

  • Ahahahaha look up contradictions in the quaran and tll me there isnt any!All of you are wrong!Christians,muslims,jews.­How can any one faith be right?What happened to the souls of the people before the prophet arrived and lead them to salvation?Do any of your books speak of the existance of dinosaurs?NO,all of your writings have been corrupted because they were written by men for the advancement of a select few.Silly silly people!

  • HAHAHA, Man I love the accent. He's pwned that Pastor

  • Good Point.. but was too angry .. and i dont think thats how u should talk or have a converstation with someone.. especially about Islam.. Because thats how God told us in His Holy Qura'an

    Peace

  • that makes complete sense! the bible is totally mess up by human interpretations!

  • Read the Bible?...which hadith?

    We believe in a revelation known as Injil.

    Not the present super edited versions we see..

  • this guy who is arguing with this christian guy has no fuckin brain he talking about killing somebody and getting away with it due to salvationm, thats wrong and completely unethical.

  • hes making a point

  • Yes, but the questioner's threat of physical harm to the speaker is unquestionable.

    As for the point, the questioner right in that all of his sins can be forgiven. Jesus himself demonstrated this when he asked the Father not to hold his executioners to account, for "they know not what they do."

    But he's wrong if he thinks it will be up to the speaker to judge his salvation - that will be up to the Lord alone. And the Lord is the one who will truly know his heart.

  • Good point but I think we should take a softer approach as the quran tells us, "argue with them in ways that are best".

  • mashaallah good point, the brother seemed a bit rude tho

  • How is this a must watch for Christians if you never at any point let him answer the question?

    If you listened you might get the answer to your 'Christian breaking' answer!

  • it looked like he did not really have an answer.. but I agree he was being harsh.. could have asked in a better way.. but the point he made was valid..

  • dude, you need to watch the whole show then.

    this cant asnwer any thing

    also watch dr william and zakir naik debate on you tube.

    you will be ashamed of your believes

  • true

  • الله اكبر اسلام يواځينى دين دى چې مونږ مسلمانان سولې، يووالي، او ورورولي ته رابولي long live is lam zinda bad islam

  • Shall I answer.. hehe

  • ALLAHU EKBAR

  • Booom, ouch . that's "killed" the spot!, in the heart!

    very nice video

  • This is invitation, not compulsion.

    You have right to learn and have faith in your each religion as you have.

    But please learn Islam properly too.

    ( also you have right to learn about other than Islam ).

    After you really learn the teachings from the Quran, you will found safety from the hell.

    ( I knew, it is sounds ridiculous here, because you never at all learn the Quran )

    But please think why so many other converts to Islam after they KNEW (or realize)

  • HAHAHa Funny Indian accent LOOOOOOOOOL

  • hahaha PWNED!!

  • he shud not ask the ques in that way... itz not good.

  • sad ... he could have asked that in better way.

  • its because of thye language barrier..his english wasnt so perfect.

  • great video, and for those who think the asker was being abrupt the video has been shortened

  • Yes. I agree. After watching the full video, it is obvious that the pastor is not well prepared. But still, it is disrespectful to attack the person on a personal basis.

  • what is da full video called

  • "Was Jesus (Christ) really crucified or crucificted?" A public debate between Dr Zakir Naik and Pastor Ruknuddin Henry Pio.

  • lol... the Pastor got owned! xD

  • I am not a Christian... but the way he attacks the person is too much. He did not allow the person to reply.

  • Please watch the full debate (available on my favorites) to check for yourself how much time the Pastor was given, but he could not provide any convincing arguments.

  • i don't think jesus' death means we are allowed to do anything in this world and be forgiven, bible also says in the end of time God is going to judge (if we can say one person is free of sin and will go to heaven because he believes in Jesus, and another will go to hell because he doesn't believe, then we really wouldn't be judged by God would we)

  • I'm a muslims myself but just on behalf of what the man said, i disagree, obviously if you believed in jesus you would not sin....Its like in our religion if you believe in prophet Muhammad (pbuh) you would not sin....but i see his point slightly i just think hes interpenetrating it the wrong way

  • It is imposible not to sin!!! But you must do what you can to not sin to much!!!

  • i don't think thats treu becouse satan olso believe in jezus, he knows about jezus will het get salvation ?..

    Peace

  • No. Jesus died for man. Salvation is only for humans. This video is interesting.. it says nothing.

  • The belief that he was crucified is not the thing needed for salvation it is the belief of his crucifixion and the acception that he is your savior and that you are sinful and need Him to save you from an eternity of being in hell

  • Seriously an aye opener for the christian you cant match the awesome knowledge and wisdom of Zakir Naik its God blessed Seriously he knows all the religions perfectly still many dumb emotional muslims are nowadays abusing Dr.Zakir naik peace be upon them and may Allah guide them to the straight path

  • "knows all religions perfectly"

    Not perfectly perhaps, but I'd say that his preparations and memory is superb, far better than any of his opponents (other debater) so far. Logical and concise and sometimes funny.... though I miss Ahmad Deedat's (pbuh) sense of humour.

  • so youre not going to believe because someone else dont know their scriptures why dont you read the bible

  • hahhahaha...... he is right....they dont have answer like Dr zakir coz they dont have a true book bible completly changed ....like Quran

  • quran hasnt retard quran can never be changed because so many people memorized it and pple tried to change it and all the muslims pointed out that quran was cahnged by someone and they go back to the original quran still present and carbon dated ur bible is carbon dated to like roman time after christ u dont have the original we do

  • thats an eye opener for all the christians

  • people are leaving the church in droves, they can see the false teachings from a bounty hunter & false prophet & from homosexuals & perverts who bugger little boys & claim to preach the word of god. church attendances are dwindling so much that they are being sold & converted into flats, schools & anything else so that the church can get its hands on the money so they can visit prostitutes & get drunk (jimmy swaggert & the bishop of southwark). FIND ISLAM & FIND THE TRUTH.HERE ENDETH THE LESSON!

  • people are leaving christianity in droves because they can see through the false ideology from a bounty hunter & false prophet, from homosexual preachers & perverts who bugger little boys & claim to preach the word of god. church attendances are dwindling so much so that the churches are being sold & converted to make flats, schools & anything else so that the church get get its hands on cash to go & visit prostitutes or get drunk (jimmy swaggert & the bishop of southwark) FIND ISLAM, FIND TRUTH

  • The terrorist cult of islam is finished.

    Catholics are NOT christians they are satanists and are finished.

    The only way is emmanuel the christ , and if you can't accept that you are the living dead.

  • yea how are they finished??? wtf does that even mean?

  • brother listen to the vid again and tell me you belive in jesus, 3 gods in 1 ,one of the gods died (cana god die??) to save everyone because father couldnt just forgive them( out of his power or what?) but came back alive?(did he die ,)(if he did hes not god, if he didnt god didnt actualy sacrifice anything he just put jesus on earth and brought him back

  • When will the world learn that CATHOLICS ARE NOT CHRISTIANS , they are satan worshipers who call themselves the holy roman empire.

    No more excuses.

    The terrorist cult of islam dispises christ and loves satan , they are finished.

  • where and when did u hear that moslems dispises christ?

  • be rid of sins until we die." - If that's so, than I really don't see the point of Jesus (pbuh) "dying for our sins" - dramatically altering the method of gaining salvation (i.e how did people acheive salvation before he died for our sins?) Why would God change His criterian (for salvation) so significantly - how is that, in any way just?

  • im not a christian but i will explain to ya :P jesus did not die for our sins he was killed by the romans for teaching the word of god, it is tru him you shall reach god...meanin not his physical body but by his teachings...similarly i can ask you the same question Prophet muhammed just came the other day and islam was formed what happend to the people before the quran...did god not love them to send them the qur'an see my point religions suppose to unify plp buh its partin plp be a good muslim

  • islam is not a new religion. it basically means to submit your will to god almighty. all the prophets before muhammad were preaching the same message (that you worship only 1 god and to believe that i am sent by god). i dont think thats new at all. adam, noah, abraham, moses and jesus had the same message as muhammad.

  • bro, the people before quran all got meesengers, whoeverso belived and followed the prophet of his time went to heaven, mohameed came and was the last prophet the prophet from his era to the end of time

  • - Now, my intention is not to pick on Christianity by stating some of the violence associated with it's history - rather, I'm using those cases as examples. Many of those Christians who commited such acts (crusades) can be said to have truely "accepted" Jesus (pbuh), what he supposedly did etc. Hence, did they commit any real crime (i.e. slaughtering numerous people)? One of the comments stated that: "Jesus was crucified to rid the sins of the world. We keep on sinning, therefore we cannot[cont]

  • Heh, very interesting. I think I know what the Christian speaker's response would have been based upon ... however it's baseless. Throughout history there have been numerous examples of Christians, who did truely "believe" (even if there perception and conception of the teachings were flawed) - meaning that they actually accepted Jesus (pbuh), yet they were responsible for numerous murders: 1) Native's of North America, Muslim's and Jews massacred in Andulasia etc. [cont]

  • This is just ridiculas. Debating is not believeing. Anybody who has studied Logic would know the win of a debate belongs to the best debater. No matter whatever anybody would say, the truth wouldn't change.

    "The truth is not for all men, but for those who seek it." - Ayn Rand

  • that guy not only pawned Christians but all religious people

  • ohh god he doesn't kno how to give a proper answere... zakir naik rules.. Allah HU AKbar....

  • im muslim and i dont really agree for the questioner ... what he said is wonderful and obviously right ... but he doesnt have to be mean .. " and i kill u right now " and he said it with all the emotions that he had haha, the christian brother got pawned ,hard ,,, btw ...allahuakbar ...!!!!

  • ... Jesus was crucified to rid the sins of the world. We keep on sinning, therefore we cannot be rid of sins until we die. Wow, no offence, but you muslims have some fetish about killing. "If I kill you" is all I hear from them

  • it shows ur ignorance..! and now it's a fact!
