All religions are man made. 3/4 of the stories Quran are edited copies from Biblical myths and legends, which were made up by writers of the books that formed the Bible, or copied from ancient Babylonian, Greek, Canaanite and Egyptian myths. The similarities do not support the common divine origin, because these stories contradict science and proven history through archeology and comparative parallel human history. Biblical and Quranic morality is also focused on supremacy, exclusion, land annexation in the name of the divine, enslavement of women as sex slave, acceptance of slavery and belief in superstition, non existent beings, magic and the power of prayers. Also a childish belief in eternal heaven and hell with various degrees of bodily pleasures or sadistic torture for ever and ever and ever.. ..

@@muhammedsaleem3258 If you were aware of your ignorance and stupidity, you would be crying instead of laughing. If you want to see FAKE, just go through a good Study Bible and check the notes on all the changed texts. I will give you a couple hints for starters: 1. Check the part about Hagar being kicked out of Abraham's house along with her son Ishmael. What was Ishmael's age and why was it changed? Who would want to make it seem like Isaac was the one ready for sacrifice and blessed by God? 2. Check out the part about God "resting on the 7th day of creation". Can God get tired and need to "refresh"? 3. "God is the Savior ALONE, there is NO ONE WITH HIM, NO ONE BESIDES HIM". "God is NOT A MAN, so that He would lie" "God NEVER CHANGES" (i.e. if He was NOT a man, then He could NEVER BECOME A MAN. "God is ETERNAL, EVER-LIVING" which also means He can NEVER DIE. There is more, but the above mentioned should be enough to point an honest person in the right direction.
Can you post the book in the comments or in the description section? Also the first video of the series would be great cuz I can't find it on your list Keep up the Great work!
I would like for the host to explain, what things specifically attracted him to Islam. There are many religions, but why Islam. Thank you for your historical work.
Assalamualaikum brother Paul. What a knowledgeable presentation. Because of Ramadhan and other commitments I just managed to sit down and have a proper listen. Masha Allah as a Muslim I learned a lot. Just a little observation if I may point out...the term early Jewish Christians is a bit misleading I find....many could understand this to mean ISA as (Jesus) founded Christianity. What would be more appropriate would be to call the followers of ISA as as just that...the followers of ISA as (Jesus). That would be in line with the writings of Scholars such as the one you highlighted...and also in line with what Islam called the followers of ISA as {Jesus) as ' Hawariyun' (the helpers of Allah) as stated in the Quran. Great work as always brother Paul. May Allah keep us all in his mercy. Ameen.

This is very interesting. I was born into Muslim familly, but never really thought seriously about religion. I will continue to explore, maybe I will revert 😊
Absolutely fascinating! Thank you for sharing. As you spoke, I kept thinking, how could the priesthood deliberately lead people astray when they know the truth? It's terrifying...like a cult.
..no, there are many theologians that contradict Dunn, he is one among many. If you accept the NT is reliable (which you dont) then he contradicts it which is fine standing where you are standing... But Dunn does believe that scripture is reliable.... you are in a cult where you are not allowed to think critically, that is true... problem with Islam is that you are in danger of being put to death if you try and think critically... or speak openly...
What I like about Islam is that it’s so inclusive. While hashem in the tanakh hardly seems to care about anybody except the Jews the Quran says he sent messengers to all people.
*Deuteronomy 18:18 is about Joshua* 18 I will set up a prophet for them from among their brothers like you, *and I will put My words into his mouth, and he will speak to them all that I command him.* 19 And it will be, *that whoever does not hearken to My words that he speaks in My name, I will exact [it] of him.* *Now see what God tells Joshua:* *Joshua 3:7* And the Lord said unto Joshua, This day will I begin to magnify thee in the sight of all Israel, that they may know that, as I was with Moses, so *I will be* with thee. *Joshua 1* 5 No man shall stand up before you all the days of your life; *as I was with Moses, so shall I be with you.* I will not weaken My grasp on you nor will I abandon you. *See the people's reply:* 17 *Just as we obeyed Moses in everything, so shall we obey you.* Only that the Lord your God be with you as He was with Moses.
This reminded me of the explanation of verse 5:21 in the Qur'an - surah Al-Ma'idah: - "O my people! Enter the holy land which God has prescribed for you and commanded you to enter; and do not turn back (from faith to your previous state), for then you will turn about as losers (in both this world and the Hereafter)." ... This verse refers to Palestine, where the Prophet Abraham emigrated and settled, and which was the homeland of the Prophets Isaac and Jacob, upon them and all other Prophets be peace. At that time, the Divine trust - the representation and promotion of God's Religion, which has always been called “Islam” - rested on the shoulders of the Children of Israel. It is for this reason that God Almighty prescribed that land for them and commanded them to enter it and make the primordial Religion of Islam prevalent there. So this prescription is not for the Children of Israel as a race, nor as the followers of the Jewish religion or Judaism. It is for those who represent Islam, the complete surrender to God, and shoulder its promotion and exaltation at all times... To my mind, this explains why the teachings of Jesus may have been so readily accepted by the Jewish people of the time.
True. We Muslims are the olny true followers of Eisaa son of Marry. We love him and he is one of the Prophets of Islam as is Adam, Noah, Abraham, Jacob, Izhak, David, Solomon, Moses and Muhammad and the many in between.
Thank you Paul for giving us a tremendous insight into James Dunn's amazing scholarship. Though I have full respect for James Dunn on continuing to be a Christian, but believing in the trinity is not quite understandable! What could be the reason? Could you please let me have your view on this?
I have to say Paul, eventhough Jimmy Dunn is well know, other scholars point to another narrative, like Ehrman his book Lost Christianity, the early Christian Church was a chaos of contending beliefs.
The Holy Qur'an says that those People of the Book who recite The Book as is due to it believe that The Qur'an is also from God. The Qur'an testifies that the earlier books re Also from God and tells to believe in it and in Prophet Muhammad (May peace by upon him and his progeny). Those who are true believers in the Torah and Gospel will also beleive in the Qur'an. Thanks Paul Williams. May Allah(SWT) grant all of us hidayat, aameen
No, the Quran is not from God. If it is from God, then he is a schizophrenic. He does not tell His people He will die on a cross at the hands of evil men, then come back in the fourth century telling folks he changed his mind, there will be no death on a cross. He has never taught Satan lives in the nose. He has never taught good works will save a man from sin. Maybe you found that in your religious book? 1st Confusions Chapter 3?

Truth will prevail! Thank you, brother Paul for bringing this up! I am sure this will let many people think about their religion and make right conclusions. Jazak Allahu Khairan! 🤲
I am Muslim and I read the Bible for myself as well to put together pieces Bible Scholars say and to compare what the Qur'an says. I realize in Acts Paul actually speaks for all the disciples mentioned, but we don't have writings of Peter or James giving their own accounts of what happened. We only have the account of Paul saying what Peter said and what Peter did. Christians love Paul because they see him as a sinner turned good. Which is not a problem for his individual growth. But Paul was capturing disciples and was responsible for the kìlĺing off of the disciples who walked and talked with Jesus who would know what Jesus truly said or did. Then Paul says Jesus came to him and now he believes. The problem is Paul becomes the authority over the disciples he didn't get the chance to capture to be ķìĺĺed? Why would God chose someone who isn't trustworthy but requires us to trust Paul and believe everything he says about God? When hours ago he was responsible for the disciples death who knew what Jesus really preached? How can we know that Paul really was reformed? There were no disciples to say Jesus didn't really say that because Paul captured the disciples and they were ķiĺĺed. Paul claims James and Peter embraced him but we don't have any writings of Peter or James to back up Paul's claims. When you read letters of Paul you will see that Paul seems to get rid of everything God says was an everlasting covenant like circumcision, and also saying you can eat anything it's no longer unclean. But not being circumcised gets you cut off from God. It makes me wonder if Paul was trying to get the followers of Jesus cut off from God since he already had been capturing followers of Jesus to be kìlĺed. And when I read acts I see Peter wasn't even aware of what information Paul was bringing to him and the people but then we see a verse where Peter would either get a vision or a dream that confirms what Paul told him to prove to us Paul was really guided by Jesus. But Paul was telling Jews not to circumcise their children neither to walk after the customs. He told them to forsake Moses. And then there are some evidence that Paul wanted to gain followers so he got rid of circumcision and other things that made the Gentiles hesitant to embrace Christianity. Paul called the people to focus only on Jesus as the son and claimed Jesus death and resurrection was the only way to salvation. And that's faith we are now under Grace. The Gentiles already had similar beliefs of a son of God so they had no problem accepting that but they didn't like circumcision and other laws the Jews were bound to and had to obey and Paul compromised those laws of God to gain them. He openly admits he becomes whatever he has to become to gain them to Jesus he felt like as long as he is bringing people to Christ there can't be anything wrong with that. Paul was arrogant to the point he says don't believe anyone who preaches anything different from him. Some Christians look at this verse as their reason to reject the Qur'an. But I look at it as Paul being afraid of disciples of Jesus he did not get to kìlĺ speaking out against what he preached and that was his way to get the people not to listen to them if they did. Especially since when Paul came he made himself the authority. Peter seemed to be under Paul not the other way around. Most people didn't catch this. If Peter was a disciple who walked and talked with Jesus how is Paul who only had a vision of Jesus now the authority over Peter? And it's still the same today and I believe Paul's letters influenced the Gospel according to John the most. Sorry for the long comment.

1. Check the part about Hagar being kicked out of Abraham's house along with her son Ishmael.
What was Ishmael's age and why was it changed?
Who would want to make it seem like Isaac was the one ready for sacrifice and blessed by God?
2. Check out the part about God "resting on the 7th day of creation". Can God get tired and need to "refresh"?
3. "God is the Savior ALONE, there is NO ONE WITH HIM, NO ONE BESIDES HIM".
"God is NOT A MAN, so that He would lie"
"God NEVER CHANGES" (i.e. if He was NOT a man, then He could NEVER BECOME A MAN.
"God is ETERNAL, EVER-LIVING" which also means He can NEVER DIE.
There is more, but the above mentioned should be enough to point an honest person in the right direction.
Can you post the book in the comments or in the description section?
Also the first video of the series would be great cuz I can't find it on your list
Keep up the Great work!
I would like for the host to explain, what things specifically attracted him to Islam. There are many religions, but why Islam. Thank you for your historical work.
Welcome to the UMAH brother Paul, so lucky to have you ❤
Assalamualaikum brother Paul. What a knowledgeable presentation. Because of Ramadhan and other commitments I just managed to sit down and have a proper listen. Masha Allah as a Muslim I learned a lot.
Just a little observation if I may point out...the term early Jewish Christians is a bit misleading I find....many could understand this to mean ISA as (Jesus) founded Christianity. What would be more appropriate would be to call the followers of ISA as as just that...the followers of ISA as (Jesus). That would be in line with the writings of Scholars such as the one you highlighted...and also in line with what Islam called the followers of ISA as {Jesus) as ' Hawariyun' (the helpers of Allah) as stated in the Quran.
Great work as always brother Paul. May Allah keep us all in his mercy. Ameen.
May Allah bless you in this world and hereafter!
May Allah bless you
Alhamdullillah, brother in Deen. Assalamualicum from Bangladesh.
Proud of you sir. Love from Bangladesh
@@summerhouse8205 sorry... I don't love a prostitute. I read her book... Just disgusting... She is an atheist. When she said she didn't birth any children, and it was her wise decision. Then as a human I realised she is not idle for any one but who hate islam
@@paulbrother8791 don't talk like western. If any women stay against islam , then western media telicast she is more dignity but those media didn't talk about afia siddika who was rapped by USA shoulder. Western media didn't telicast about Gaza's women who are pregnant... Because Western media follow double standards...
@@summerhouse8205any prostitute will not my idle... She is just a prostitute.. her family left him
@@paulbrother8791 if any women talk against islam, western media telicast she is more dignity!!!! But they don't talk about Palestine women and children...
@@summerhouse8205 she is not a human just a prostitute
حبيبي يا بول الله يكرمك و يزيدك من فضله و يحفظك
My question is howcom James Dunn still saying I am Christian despite the facts he found!!
an excellent question!
because Allah Swt. gives hidayah (guidance) to those whom He wills
I will say indeed Allah guide whom he wills 😘
Alhamdulillah Alhamdulillah 🕋🕌☪️💚☪️ Allahuakhbar Allahuakhbar from Malaysia 🇲🇾🇲🇾🇲🇾🔻🔻🔻😃😃😃👍👍👍💚
truly fascinating, thanks brother Paul
Assalamualaikum salam from Indonesia happy Ramadhan Mubarok 🙏🙏
This is very interesting. I was born into Muslim familly, but never really thought seriously about religion. I will continue to explore, maybe I will revert 😊
Absolutely fascinating! Thank you for sharing. As you spoke, I kept thinking, how could the priesthood deliberately lead people astray when they know the truth? It's terrifying...like a cult.
..no, there are many theologians that contradict Dunn, he is one among many. If you accept the NT is reliable (which you dont) then he contradicts it which is fine standing where you are standing...
But Dunn does believe that scripture is reliable....
you are in a cult where you are not allowed to think critically, that is true...
problem with Islam is that you are in danger of being put to death if you try and think critically... or speak openly...
Put your critical thinking to the test and have a read of No God but One by Nebeel Qureshi....
amazing brother Paul Willams
What I like about Islam is that it’s so inclusive. While hashem in the tanakh hardly seems to care about anybody except the Jews the Quran says he sent messengers to all people.
Warmly welcome to all new brothers and sisters in the tranquil threshold of Islam 🌹
*Deuteronomy 18:18 is about Joshua*
18 I will set up a prophet for them from among their brothers like you, *and I will put My words into his mouth, and he will speak to them all that I command him.*
19 And it will be, *that whoever does not hearken to My words that he speaks in My name, I will exact [it] of him.*
*Now see what God tells Joshua:*
*Joshua 3:7*
And the Lord said unto Joshua, This day will I begin to magnify thee in the sight of all Israel, that they may know that, as I was with Moses, so *I will be* with thee.
*Joshua 1*
5 No man shall stand up before you all the days of your life; *as I was with Moses, so shall I be with you.* I will not weaken My grasp on you nor will I abandon you.
*See the people's reply:*
17 *Just as we obeyed Moses in everything, so shall we obey you.* Only that the Lord your God be with you as He was with Moses.
This reminded me of the explanation of verse 5:21 in the Qur'an - surah Al-Ma'idah: -
"O my people! Enter the holy land which God has prescribed for you and commanded you to enter; and do not turn back (from faith to your previous state), for then you will turn about as losers (in both this world and the Hereafter)."
... This verse refers to Palestine, where the Prophet Abraham emigrated and settled, and which was the homeland of the Prophets Isaac and Jacob, upon them and all other Prophets be peace. At that time, the Divine trust - the representation and promotion of God's Religion, which has always been called “Islam” - rested on the shoulders of the Children of Israel. It is for this reason that God Almighty prescribed that land for them and commanded them to enter it and make the primordial Religion of Islam prevalent there. So this prescription is not for the Children of Israel as a race, nor as the followers of the Jewish religion or Judaism. It is for those who represent Islam, the complete surrender to God, and shoulder its promotion and exaltation at all times...
To my mind, this explains why the teachings of Jesus may have been so readily accepted by the Jewish people of the time.
What are those books again please?
I love your book review.
Ma Sha Allah, beautiful.
Mjght be good idea to add links of all 4 videos to the description of all 4 of them.
True. We Muslims are the olny true followers of Eisaa son of Marry. We love him and he is one of the Prophets of Islam as is Adam, Noah, Abraham, Jacob, Izhak, David, Solomon, Moses and Muhammad and the many in between.
May Allah bless you brother Paul.
Thank you Paul for giving us a tremendous insight into James Dunn's amazing scholarship.
Though I have full respect for James Dunn on continuing to be a Christian, but believing in the trinity is not quite understandable! What could be the reason? Could you please let me have your view on this?
I have to say Paul, eventhough Jimmy Dunn is well know, other scholars point to another narrative, like Ehrman his book Lost Christianity, the early Christian Church was a chaos of contending beliefs.
The Holy Qur'an says that those People of the Book who recite The Book as is due to it believe that The Qur'an is also from God. The Qur'an testifies that the earlier books re Also from God and tells to believe in it and in Prophet Muhammad (May peace by upon him and his progeny). Those who are true believers in the Torah and Gospel will also beleive in the Qur'an. Thanks Paul Williams. May Allah(SWT) grant all of us hidayat, aameen
No, the Quran is not from God. If it is from God, then he is a schizophrenic. He does not tell His people He will die on a cross at the hands of evil men, then come back in the fourth century telling folks he changed his mind, there will be no death on a cross. He has never taught Satan lives in the nose. He has never taught good works will save a man from sin. Maybe you found that in your religious book? 1st Confusions Chapter 3?
it is very interesting to watch your videos
Anyone has the video link for part 1. Thank you

@@BloggingTheology
Prove me wrong.
All religions are man made. 3/4 of the stories Quran are edited copies from Biblical myths and legends, which were made up by writers of the books that formed the Bible, or copied from ancient Babylonian, Greek, Canaanite and Egyptian myths.
The similarities do not support the common divine origin, because these stories contradict science and proven history through archeology and comparative parallel human history.
Biblical and Quranic morality is also focused on supremacy, exclusion, land annexation in the name of the divine, enslavement of women as sex slave, acceptance of slavery and belief in superstition, non existent beings, magic and the power of prayers.
Also a childish belief in eternal heaven and hell with various degrees of bodily pleasures or sadistic torture for ever and ever and ever..
With all that said: I rest my case. Thanks brother Paul
Truth will prevail! Thank you, brother Paul for bringing this up! I am sure this will let many people think about their religion and make right conclusions. Jazak Allahu Khairan! 🤲
I am Muslim and I read the Bible for myself as well to put together pieces Bible Scholars say and to compare what the Qur'an says. I realize in Acts Paul actually speaks for all the disciples mentioned, but we don't have writings of Peter or James giving their own accounts of what happened.
We only have the account of Paul saying what Peter said and what Peter did.
Christians love Paul because they see him as a sinner turned good.
Which is not a problem for his individual growth.
But Paul was capturing disciples and was responsible for the kìlĺing off of the disciples who walked and talked with Jesus who would know what Jesus truly said or did. Then Paul says Jesus came to him and now he believes. The problem is Paul becomes the authority over the disciples he didn't get the chance to capture to be ķìĺĺed? Why would God chose someone who isn't trustworthy but requires us to trust Paul and believe everything he says about God? When hours ago he was responsible for the disciples death who knew what Jesus really preached? How can we know that Paul really was reformed? There were no disciples to say Jesus didn't really say that because Paul captured the disciples and they were ķiĺĺed.
Paul claims James and Peter embraced him but we don't have any writings of Peter or James to back up Paul's claims.
When you read letters of Paul you will see that Paul seems to get rid of everything God says was an everlasting covenant like circumcision, and also saying you can eat anything it's no longer unclean.
But not being circumcised gets you cut off from God.
It makes me wonder if Paul was trying to get the followers of Jesus cut off from God since he already had been capturing followers of Jesus to be kìlĺed.
And when I read acts I see Peter wasn't even aware of what information Paul was bringing to him and the people but then we see a verse where Peter would either get a vision or a dream that confirms what Paul told him to prove to us Paul was really guided by Jesus. But Paul was telling Jews not to circumcise their children neither to walk after the customs. He told them to forsake Moses.
And then there are some evidence that Paul wanted to gain followers so he got rid of circumcision and other things that made the Gentiles hesitant to embrace Christianity. Paul called the people to focus only on Jesus as the son and claimed Jesus death and resurrection was the only way to salvation. And that's faith we are now under Grace.
The Gentiles already had similar beliefs of a son of God so they had no problem accepting that but they didn't like circumcision and other laws the Jews were bound to and had to obey and Paul compromised those laws of God to gain them. He openly admits he becomes whatever he has to become to gain them to Jesus he felt like as long as he is bringing people to Christ there can't be anything wrong with that.
Paul was arrogant to the point he says don't believe anyone who preaches anything different from him.
Some Christians look at this verse as their reason to reject the Qur'an.
But I look at it as Paul being afraid of disciples of Jesus he did not get to kìlĺ speaking out against what he preached and that was his way to get the people not to listen to them if they did.
Especially since when Paul came he made himself the authority.
Peter seemed to be under Paul not the other way around.
Most people didn't catch this. If Peter was a disciple who walked and talked with Jesus how is Paul who only had a vision of Jesus now the authority over Peter?
And it's still the same today and I believe Paul's letters influenced the Gospel according to John the most.
Sorry for the long comment.
Thanks!
Many thanks!
I love you Paul. I am Palestinian brother of you if you may accept. ❤🇵🇸
