With all due respect again Shabir Ally does not understand the bible. At 19.03 he quotes from Philippians 2:12-13 "Therefore, my dear friends, as you have always obeyed—not only in my presence, but now much more in my absence—continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling,13 for it is God who works in you to will and to act in order to fulfill his good purpose." You do not work for your salvation but work it out, look back and see how God has led you, IE:from this person to that etc

I believe as a Muslim Shabir Ally understands the bible better than most christians, and some Christians would also agree to that fact... there is no doubt Shabir Ally totally leveled all the arguments thrown at him by the respected Dr. Craig.. and there are still many Questions left unanswered by Dr. Craig... Well done Shabir.

@apical5view1 Jesus is fully God and fully man....the man Jesus died, physically, and was resurrected in a glorified physical body.

You know the story of Abraham and Isaac/Ishmael--how God provided an innocent ram in Isaac's place. Well, this was a HINT at what Jesus was going to do for OUR sake. God loves us so much that he did not sacrifice us for our sins, but rather, He was "manifested in the flesh" and bore our sin for us. This is Love and Justice in true union.

I just killed 2 persons, but Jesus will forgive me cause he created the world then he came and lived and ate good food and died for my sins..

Plz christians come out from the darkness to the true monoteism ie

I S L A M

[apical5view1]

Christians say Jesus is Lord, Christians say Jesus died on the cross. Then that means that God died! Can God Die? Then who ruled the world?

If I commit a crime, the justice system is not going to pluck an innocent man from the streets and say you have to go to Jail because of the crime that guy committed. What kind of Justice is that?

Dr Craig is an inteligent man but he does not understand the essence and the beauty of Islam. Alhumdulillah Shabbir Ally done a great job. Ramadan mubarak to all the Muslims.

@DiLxThief Does not even the nature of things teach you? How does a old man take his child wife out to a romantic dinner? How can a husband and wife have serious discussions when one is very old and the other is still playing with dolls? What if a husband needed help to move a heavy object like a kitchen table, how can he do this with a tiny little girl? What about sex? This is so disgusting! Would you want your daughter to ponder such filth? These are not attacks but legitimate questions

@DiLxThief "Lets get one thing straight, i use ur own bible against u and i'm not making things up as i go, i use biblical text," Not once have you shown me or any one here a biblical text that would even slightly hint at the age of Joseph and Mary.

There are numerous contradictions and filth in the Koran that one could spend many hours debating.

But, there is no need, so far not one Muslim has ever given a good explanation for the sexual activity between a little girl and a very old man,.

@DiLxThief "Why didn't Mary have any children after that?" The bible does not say she did not have children after Jesus, Read Matthew 13:55-56. Also you are full of lies when you say she was only 12 years of age, there is not even the slightest hint from the bible that she was twelve. I explained to you what apocrypha means, I made a fool out of you for copying and pasting lies and garbage from your Islamic sites. I dare you to find even one verse from the bible that deals with the age of Mary!

@DiLxThief 'Aisha herself concluding she was physically and mentally mature " a little girl could never consent! If consent is all that is needed then why not two consenting males etc etc? You see how sick this type of reasoning is? What would happen today if someone had sex with a little girl and said" but she doesn't complain" What would we call a man that had sex with a little girl? Would he not be locked up? Sorry but you could never defend this! You have lost before you even start.

@DiLxThief Songs of Solomon is rich in poetry and imagery. Never does it say Solomon was her brother. Chapter 8:1 "If ONLY you were to me like a brother....Then, if i found you outside I would kiss you, AND NO ONE WOULD DESPISE ME." She was black, Solomon was ruddy. If he was a brother (Israelite) then no one would despise her, better still she wanted people to think he was her brother, that way he could visit her without the usual interracial prejudice.
