 says that none of us are good. Hmm, the Bible also says that women aren't allowed to speak in church. The Bible also says that people with disabilities cannot approach God. The Bible also says to stone women who aren't virgins when they get married. Asalaamu alaikum, welcome to another episode of the Open-Minded Thinker Show. Firstly, it must pass the video here because some of the points raised so far are intriguing and were on careful consideration. But these true that the author combined the theological logic of the Jewish Torah, the Old Testament of the Bible, with the gospels and epistles of the apostle, also known as the New Testament. However, I noticed that she made certain visible over-generalizations that when examined on a case-by-case basis can potentially undermine even Islamic arguments, allowed me to elaborate. Just like the Quran and Hadith, the Bible employs various symbolic representations, both texts being written words carry inherent symbolic meanings. For instance, in the part of Luke 14, 26, I think Jesus meant something else when he said, if anyone comes to me and does not hate father, mother, wife, and children, brothers and sisters, yes, even their own life, such a person cannot be my disciple. Literally, Jesus meant something way deeper than just emotional hate towards the individual's mention, like mother, father, brother, or even one's life. So, a literal interpretation of the Quran or the Bible in second and second instances can lead to significant problems. Nevertheless, there are several important aspects that deserve clarification. Unfortunately, many former observers of the Bible who have now become atheists perceive the God of the Old Testament as vengeful. They believe that he issued commandments that were entirely inhumane, such as the destruction of entire towns, cities, or people, or the instantaneous punishment of lawbreakers when viewed through the lens of modern civilization. These actions appear entirely barbaric. The Bible also says that women aren't allowed to speak in church. The Bible also says that people with disabilities cannot approach God. The Bible also says to stone women who aren't virgins when they get married. The Bible also says to take your disobedient children out to the streets and let all the neighbors stone them to death. The Bible also says that if two men are fighting and one of their wives sees it happening and goes to defend her husband, she's to have her hand cut off. The Bible also says that without the shedding of blood, God can't forgive sin. The Bible also says to walk up to neighboring cities that don't belong to the nations nearby and to either enslave them or kill them all, and then to hit the women and children as plunder. The Bible also says that you should be stoned to death if you accidentally work on a Saturday. The Bible also says that unless you hate your mom, your dad, your sister, your brother, and yourself, you can't serve Jesus. The Bible also says that if you look at someone with lust, you should rip out your own eyes. The Bible also says that if someone steals from you, you should give them more things to steal from you. The Bible also says that if somebody is attacking you to let them continue attacking you, don't fight that. The Bible also says happy is the one who takes your events into rocks. So why again should I care what the Bible says? However, it is worth noting that some of the passages you mentioned are derived from the books of Genesis to Deuteronomy. The noteworthy aspect of the books in between is that they are referred to as the book of the law. This implies that any instructions or commands issued during that time were considered laws from God himself. This represents a significant challenge for Christian when comparing them to the perspective of this lady. The Bible also says that you should be stoned if you accidentally work on a Saturday. The Bible also says that unless you hate your mom, your dad, your sister, your brother, and yourself, you can't serve Jesus. The Bible also says that if you look at someone with lust, you should rip out your own eyes. The Bible also says that if someone steals from you, you should give them more things to steal from you. The Bible also says that if somebody is attacking you to let them continue attacking you, don't fight back. The Bible also says happy is the one who takes your infants and interacts. So why again should I care what the Bible says? In reality, this lady has a point, but if she had explained herself better, it would have been better. Nevertheless, the exposition is a bold attempt to let Christians claim more superiority over Muslims that the Bible contains some graphic things that when compared with the Quran is way too rigid and barbaric. Let's listen to Ahmed Dikdat on the Bible. Now, with that format, you have no time to explain each and every position. So what is the Bible? So what do we consider the Bible to be? As a whole, per se, we say this is not the Book of God. And I proved it. According to all reasoning, according to the book itself, the internal evidence that Moses didn't write the books attributed to him, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John didn't write the books attributed to them. Not only is it not the Book of God, but it's not even the Book of Matthew, Mark, Luke or John. You're talking about 24,000 manuscripts. I challenge you, there's no two are identical. So you've got 24,000 different Gospels. Which one? You just pick that suited you, you accepted it. Who authorize you? Council of Nisi. They said we take this, we take that, we take that. All the Gospels that are accepted, we're not accepted at one time. It's now pick and choose what suits you, you accepted. That's what you have done. And you say now it's the Word of God. But now the Word of God is in it, in the Book. The Word of God is in the Book. The Word of the Prophet is in the Book. The Word of the Historian is in the Book. And the Bible is in the Book. Now I have to explain all that to you. I said you see, I give you examples about the Word of God. Like in the Book of Deutronomy. You see the verse I quoted in Arabic, the same thing is in the Bible. Almost an identical idea is there. It reads, I will raise them up a prophet. I will raise them up a prophet from among the brethren, like unto thee. And I will put my words in his mouth. And he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him. So who is this I God? He's speaking to Hazrat Musa, that I will raise them up a prophet from among the brethren. From among the Bani Ismail. The Bani Israelah being addressed is from among your brethren. Like unto thee, like you, like Musa. And he will, and I will put my words in his mouth. And he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him. So he says this I is God. You don't have to be a theologian or a didi or an evangelist. Anybody will tell you on the plain reading of it, that these are not the words of Moses, these are the words of God. Another quotation from the Book of Isaiah. As if God is speaking, and God is speaking. Say remember the former things of old. I am God and there is none else. I am God and there is none like me. Who's that? Isaiah? No. No Jews says that Isaiah claim divinity. They would have killed him if he did. No, he's speaking on behalf of God. God is speaking through him like a mouthpiece. This is the job of a prophet of God. He is a mouthpiece of God. He hears the words of God and he conveys them to you. So I am God and there is none else. I am God and there is no savior besides me. Who? God. God is talking. This is the word of God. You don't have to be a professor of theology to see that. There is another type of evidence in the Bible. See now if it was a lecture, I would have done all this last night. But this is a debate. So whatever the man is throwing at you, you can't start grappling with everything. The caravan is moving and the dog start barking. You don't start the caravan moving back to chase the dogs. You go on. You got to do your job and get on with it and finish your job. There was no occasion for explaining all these things to you. Then there is the word of the prophet of God. Example, Jesus says, It has been said by them of old time. Thou shall not commit adultery. But I say unto you that whosoever looketh upon a woman to lust after her had committed adultery with her already in his heart. Who is this? I, Jesus. Jesus is talking. The word of a prophet of God. Again, Jesus says, It has been said by them of old time that whosoever puts away his wife let him give her a bill of divorce month. But I say unto you, Who is this? I, Jesus. Words of a prophet of God. Again, Jesus says, It has been said by them of old time and I for an eye and a tooth for a tooth. But I say unto you, Who is this? I, Jesus. The words of a prophet of God. Then there is another type of evidence in the Bible. First was, as if God speaking. Second was, as if a prophet was speaking. Third, what does the historian, how does he speak? He says, in the Gospel of Saint Mark, say while he, talking about Jesus, in bracket, I put Jesus. While he was going forth into the way, he, Jesus, saw a victory in the distance with leaves. Happily, he came up to it, wanting to find fix there on. But when he, Jesus came, there was nothing but leaves for the season was not yet. Who is writing? An eye witness or a ear witness, not God and not Jesus. So you see, another type of evidence. Word of God, word of the prophet, word of the historian. And there was that other type of thing. I was suggesting, and I lost $100. You remember, if you were there. I lost $100. I wanted Brother Swaggart, you know, to read a certain chapter from the book, from the Bible. And he ignored it at first. Maybe he had no time. And somebody from the audience, prodded him again. He says, you know, look, what about that chapter as a keel? And there was $100 also involved. So he read it. But he read it at 60 miles an hour. So one of your university students, while I'm sitting there, he comes to me. He said, look, he read. But I didn't know. So what was the joke? I said, look, one thing is, you are at a disadvantage. You are an Arab from Arab country. You don't know English too well. Number one. Number two, that the English that he was using was archaic old-fashioned from the King James version. You see, we had given him that pamphlet, which was from the new international version, modern language, where you call a spade a spade. But he was reading from that archaic Bible. I can't blame him for that, because he uses that. King James, he read it. And you don't know English too well. That's also a disadvantage. And he was reading at that speed, I told you just now. So these are all the facts. I said, look, what you do, you go and read it. You know, in that pamphlet, and you see what he was reading. So he read it. You know, bulk of the people, I'm sure, they didn't catch the joke. No, the speed, his pronunciation, he was not as emphatic when he quotes other Biblical verses. You know, he makes every word and phrase to go down your throat or down your ears. But here was something different. 60 miles an hour. So there is that type of thing, which I said no decent man can read it to his mother, sister, daughter, or even his fiance if she's a good woman. Now, what you have to do is you have to go and read it yourself to know what was read. You didn't catch the joke. It's no fault of mine. You see, you don't understand English too well and then you know the speed and the archaic language, all these things were factors where you don't catch the joke. But if you catch the joke, then you know something that no decent man can read in his church or to his family. So this is another type of evidence. So we have the word of God in the Bible. There is the word of the prophet in the Bible. There's the word of the historian and I witness or you witness in the Bible. And there is that other type which is here in the Bible. Well, let's live it right there, ladies and gentlemen. Like, share and subscribe. Let's grow together. Until next time. Assalamualaikum.
