Great debate Sami Zaatari you are the clear victor. Refuted all his arguments while any of his refutations will be a contradiction to what JESUS SAID. I love the theme music of the Message at beginning and end, I love that movie and need to watch it again.

@djvdiddy Shame on you for denying the truth of Jesus. He refuted those points at 2:01:10 and 2:09:30. It goes with the Quran narrative of God saying 'Be' and it was was. That is God's word and the word was MANIFESTED in creation.

I would like SAMI to debate Dr. William Lane Craig! Or LAURENCE TISDALL! It would be a great debate! Thanks!

@pantherlake2002 I guess you only want to argue...you said allah is Just and merciful, and the example you gave only proved he is merciful, how can you prove allah is JUST?..I'll give you a hint ...YOU CAN NOT but I really like you to try...

[djvdiddy]

Wow! Sammi was having a really hard time answering John 1:1. Dr White RIGHTLY pointed out that he was arguing against what we Christians DO NOT believe. Such a shame! Sammy needs to go back, study what Christians REALLY believe & teach, then try & tear it down; w/ Scripture, not questions! Till then he needs to stay out of the debating arena

[pantherlake2002]

@gussyvallejos I already told you bro, God is both Just and merciful in Islam, in the example of Adam and Eve, He was showing His mercy, they repent to Him, and He forgave them, I dont know why you believe it is so hard for God to do that,

[gussyvallejos]

@pantherlake2002 Again you are not able to understand allah can be all you want (forgiving, merciful, etc) but CANNOT be JUST...I'm arguing about allah being merciful, the system that he uses to forgive is not JUST...when you accept that I'll teach about the atonement...God Bless

[pantherlake2002]

@gussyvallejos MY Lord is the Most forgiving, Most merciful, and He forgave Adam and Eve, I dont know why you can't accept that, it is like you believe God is not forgiving, and He is not merciful, it is like you believe God needs to do something in order to forgive like kill Himself, I seek refuge in Allah, that is blasphemy, Allah is free from all needs, worthy of all praise, praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds,
