[tudungsenduk]

Christians will always get asskicked by their own bible,

[viper2808]

you cannot name any verses! I challenge you to find ANY verse that debunks the Triune nature of God! I don't care about ANY council of Nicea! I just care about God's Word. I only go by what IT says.

[mohamedunni]

Jesus did not teach anybody secretly anything, either Stanly Villavincencio or anybody else. If Mr. Stanley claims Jesus did he is making Jesus lier. Please read in Bible: John 18-20

[austriaheute]

Stanley Villavincencio from Philippines encountered Lord Jesus and everybody who doubts that Jesus is God can meet Stanley and he will convince you like he convinced many people. Jesus told Stanley that he offers his mercy to everyone who asks for it and after the time of mercy the time for judgment will come and if we don’t have as a protection his mercy we will not be able to stand his righteous judgment. It is time now to repent and to pray for Jesus mercy, Jesus is our judge.

[oombuddah]

@viper2808 Sure.. John 17:3 They may know you the Only True God (about Father here), and Jesus Christ whom you have sent.

The Christian response is way too desperate. Way too desperate and it's not intellectually honest.

[theembracedofgod]

over all James White has by far ripped Islam into shreds with his evidences he presents from the bible. Muslim claims are irrational and only can only be given in a perspective of denial for their lack of understanding.

[bdpride]

but one has to look at things with facts. one must have knowledge in old testament and have common sense.

this guy talks about jesus is part of godhead . this concept of trinity was indoctrinated in the council of nicea long after jesus pbuh ascension to heaven. but there are many verses in the bible that debunks the trinity concept.

[viper2808]

It will never end. James gets his ass kicked if you are looking at it from a muslim point of view. Based on the Quran. If you are looking at it from the Christian point of view and from the authority of God's word the Bible! then James White absolutly ahnialated this guy. That he disproved everything that this guy said. So it all depends on what your faith is based in. The Quran is the truth to Muslims. God's word (The Bible) is truth according to christians. The debate will never end.

[Imfelicity4u]

This man twists the word of God so fluently and deceptively he is dangerous.Blind Guide!When Jesus made claims of who he was,those claims were that he was MESSIAH,not Jehovah!Shame on Mr. White.
