i really enjoy watching shabir ally he is good but he has a different approach to the issues than a A.Deedat or a Dr naik but that does not make him better or worse it makes him unique and damn is he good or what....its like comparing a defender to a striker it cant be done.

Assalamu Alaikum Bu thhe Holly qur'an and by the Holly Bible Jesus or Yeshua or Isa as did not rise from the dead. He was cruscified , taken alive down cured with medicine for three days , as prophecy says (as son of man will be in belly of fish, same son of man will be in belly of the Earth)and than gone to visit other 10 lost tribe of Israel (bani Israil) back to Kashmeer where he died. Qur'an says that he and his mother have been rised on high place with water.Why Bible is not talking of Mary

[lovergal1984]

I'm not religious but I must agree with the Muslim. It's impossible for a dead human to come alive. The Muslims argument sounds reasonable.

@Omnicron777 They are making the assumption that those in the debate believe what the bible says. The debate is about the question of Christs resurection not the validity of the bible. The bibles validity is assumed by both men.

Shabir can t accept the writings of the eye witnesses but believe the writings of a man dictated by an angel hundreds of years later? there is no comparison. eye witnesses are witness but few hundred years later are opinion. if i cant accept the witness of eye witnesses how much more the opinion of a man 2000 years later, who came from angel. do you not know lucifer is an angel ?

Rev 1: 4,5,8,11,12,13,17,18, Rev 22:12-20, God says, “I, am Jesus, the A and the Z, the bright morning Star, the Beginning and the Ending, God, the Lord, Jesus, the First to rise from death, to die no more, the All Powerful One who is, Jesus, and was, and Is coming again, the First and the Last, who died, who is now alive forevermore, who has the keys of hell and death, am coming soon”. He's worthy of worship. Rev 1: 5 "...Give to Him everlasting Glory and praise, for He rules forever. Amen

Who killed Jesus Christ?

Thessalonians-ch-2-14

Because you also began suffering at the hands of your own country men the same thing as they also are suffering at the hands of the Jews, 15- who killed even the lord Jesus and the prophets and the persecuted us. Furthermore, they are not pleasing god, but are against the interests of all man.

[RPenta]

Well, Jesus had no full brothers--but then again this is just the Protestant line.
