@Djamel Joe I'd say the bible is a corrupt source of information, not to be beleived nor to be disbelieve what it says. The Islamic way of approoaching such subjects is to measure what the bible says against the Quran, if it agrees we agree, if it differs we go with what the Qur'an says. The keepers of the Bible, as the Quran says, "expose some of it and hide some" and they "twist their tongues with the book so that you reckon it is from the book when it is not of the book" and "they take words out of their due context".

In arabic language prespective, if something muhaimen مهيمن over another thing, that mean if have a control over it or spread over. It can be said one team muhaimen over the other team, which mean they have absolute control/advantage over it
This is the 2nd time I watched Dr. Ali Ataie in your channel. Turn out this was released a month ago, I missed it. Thank you so much for having him Paul. I really enjoyed it, I can listen to you both for hours. There are so much to learn.
For an irritatingly impatient person like me to keep listening to both of you guys speaking for more than five minutes should tell you something about your insightful conversation...... Very very impressive conversation of two academics yet very accessible for a lay man like me...... Keep the good work Paul and may Allah accept your deeds and forgive your sins and light for you the path to him the almighty with his guidance.
What an enlightening discussion .. I wish that Paul can have some “shorts” focusing on some very interesting key facts mentioned here … as always we should recognise the amazing effort by Paul.. keep going !!
Hi Paul, I always wondered what you could do if only Arabic was your mother tongue, and I understand the frustration that results from understanding the meaning of a word without grasping its essence, it is an ongoing dilemma for me with my English language. So please accept my humble contribution in explaining the essence of the word (muhaymen). If you consider the meaning (dominant) this will be easier than the foot note you read, examples: Haymana on the trade of the country …… dominated the trade of the country (this is past tense) Politically muhaymina state …….politically dominant state ( this is current situation) Muhaymina share … dominant share ( this is current situation) The strong boy yuhaymino the weak one…. The strong boy dominates the weak one (this is present tense) In the Quranic context is means dominating, controlling and preventing it from going astay. I hope that was helpful.
@@matthewpaulson6497 Assalamualaikum. You actually missed the whole point. We certainly do believe in the scriptures sent down on Moses, David and Jesus (Peace be upon them all) but we do not believe in that which was written by Paul, Luke, John or Babylonic scriptures of Old testament. So there is a big difference. Allah claimed that they changed the words of God for their own. Now some morons like David Wood would bring verses which say Allah's word cannot be changed out of context in opposition to these claims. Now what you will find after entirety of the Holy Quran is that those scriptures were to Man as guardian but for His last revealation He Said "And I will be it's guardian ". And that is true and proven, see videos of this channel about it like on Birmingham's Quran parts found. Hoping you will read The Holy Quran entirely and also view the Bible and Quran in a scholarly view and decide you Path of Life (Bcoz Islam is more than a 'religion')
This is the second Ataie talk I have seen on blogging theology - what an amazing man. He is an encyclopaedia within himself Thank you Paul for bribing him on I have read his book now “ in the defence of Islam. A super read

Al tahir Ibn Ashoor senior theologian and expert in rhetorical aspects of the quran was a graduate of zytouna mosque (university). he is the author of famous Tafseer Al Tahreer Wal Tanweer. the resulting work of his 50 years in the field. Truly a treasure. I refer to it regularly. The Quran 3:75 mentions, from among practicing Christians and Jews those who are very honest to the extent that you can entrust to them big amount of money and others whom one cannot entrust money not even a penny. In the same context of dishonesty there are honest Jewish and Christian groups and dishonest groups. In page 293 of his Tafseer of The Quran 3:79, Al Tahir Ibn Ashoor says after mentioning Jewish twist of the Torah in 3:78 which is a type of tahrif, Allah went on to mention the tahrif that the Christians had. Twist is a verb that should be in the past but The Quran brought the present tense to mean that the manipulation is on-going. End of statement by the author.
OMG Paul this was such a great discussion, learnt some new things from this . Thank you for inviting Dr Ali to the channel, definitely he's a knowledgeable man with great sense of understanding. Surprisingly I noticed Dr Shabir Ali also holds some kind of similar position regarding Qur'an 4:157. That's something interesting. Wish to see Dr Ali and other professors again on the channel. May God bless you 😇.
*Clement of Alexandria* (2nd century CE Church Father) in his book “Paedagogus”: “We must avoid any irregularity in the type of garment we choose. We must also guard against all waywardness in our use of them. For instance, *it is not right for a woman to wear her dress up over her knees,* as the Laconian maidens are said to do, because *a woman should not expose any part of her body...* I should like, too, not only that it be *forbidden them to expose their ankle,* but also that *it be made obligatory for them to wear a veil over their face and a covering on their head.”* … “Further, the man and woman each must come to the church dressed becomingly, with an unaffected walk... *Let the woman observe this further practise: Except when she is home, she should be completely veiled, for her appearance will be dignified only when she cannot be seen.* She will never fall into sin if she always keeps modesty before her eyes, and *retain her veil,* nor will she lure others into an occasion of sin by baring her face.” In conclusion, the earliest Christians (ie truest to Christ and his apostles’ message) had more in common with Muslims than most modern Christians realize. 🙏
The shaytan of Islam (Allah) tells his slaves that they can be liars, and he sent a pdo.phile as your best moral example. And you believe that a god would do such a thing... It's from shaytan my Muslim friends.

The meaning of “Mutawaffi” (‘take in full’) is discussed in the exegesis of verses 3: 54-55 (page 76; Mariful Quran vol. 2 by Mufti Taqi Usmani). If you search for the Ma'ariful Quran tafsir on google you should be able to find it on an archive link (all 8 volumes) I further recommend the tafsir of 4: 157-158 (page 622). Although the substitutional hypothesis is widely accepted by Muslim scholars from the earliest times, including explanations of the verse from the famous companion Ibn Abbas Ra, who seemed to have understood it as substitutional, which suggests to me this was the idea held by the companions closest to the Prophet PBUH. Regardless, I can understand the swooning hypothesis. But the “rapture hypothesis” that is proposed by Ustadh Ali and similarly written about by various recent Orientalist scholars is really stretching the verses' meanings to propose this hypothesis. E.g. One question comes to my mind, if indeed Jesus PBUH is on the cross and before his physical flesh dies, Allah intervenes and there is a rapture of his soul, how is that different from death? Because in death everyone’s soul departs the body and all of this is by the will of Allah (as in Allah’s intervention). And if indeed he died on the cross and yet Allah saying they did not kill him nor crucify him sounds like one of these Obi Wan Kenobi moment - “from a certain point of view” - type of verbal gymnastics. No one can do anything to anyone except by the will of Allah.
the view from islamic point of view at least when i first read it seemed to suggest another one was crucified to look like him, while jesus was ascended unharmed and untouched and another was made exactly like him, gospel of barnabas holds this view even most likely a forgery has a story wich no other has last chapters are amazing story really can hold up logically but ofc its a theory like 4 "canon" gospel they speculate too cause they didnt see jesus
also the famous mathew last line in the gospel "why have you forsaken me" can be that of who was crucified who wasnt jesus and asking to god could be judas etc, judas dies in canon gospels in a strange way he suicided some days after in a tree
@@jurgeni7545 I realized you can get tafsir of Ma'ariful quran (by Muft Taqi Usmani directly on quran.com), here are the links: - Surah Ali Imran verse 55: quran.com/3:55/tafsirs/en-tafsir-maarif-ul-quran - Surah Maidah verse 157: quran.com/4:157/tafsirs/en-tafsir-maarif-ul-quran There are many theories for the substitution hypothesis apart for Judas - fully explicated here - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islamic_views_on_Jesus%27_death#Substitution_interpretation I would caution against using the synoptic gospels or acts as sources, as we cannot verify the sources with any accuracy. They wouldn't pass any isnad (chain of narrators) or matn (text) verification test and would be straight up classified as fabricated (mawdu) according hadith sciences. These texts served to propagate a certain christological position. So, we only accept that which falls in line with the Quran as that is direct revelation and authentically preserved. Same goes for the hebrew bible (TaNaK).
First, Paul, thank you for the videos and a unique way of connecting 'pixels' for the larger picture. It is a pleasure also because your videos are a great guide to right literature. I'd like to make a short contribution to the topic, although I'm not a scholar or theologian, and with full appreciation of Dr. Ataie and to his extensive knowledge and experience and to the many fresh facts he presented that mean a lot to me. So, beside of aspects that Dr. Ataie analized, maybe there's intention of The Holy Qur'an of letting the Christians to have rulings or judging upon themselfes on the basis of their scriptures they have are connected to the principle of not forcing anyone to religion (Islam) and to also Islamic principle of allowing other traditions/religions in Muslim state to establish their own courts or judges for especially private, contractual, business and family matters making a system to resolve disputes among the members of their comunity (in this case Christians). This system of separate parallel legislations was, as far as I know, used by the end of Ottoman empire, and it is pretty unimaginable in a modern standardized western law systems formed in a one-size-fits-all manner. Logically, there is a question, why the Qur'an is specially mentioning gospels of the Christians if the own-ruling-right is a more universal right of nonmuslims? Maybe, the message is what Dr. Ataie said (especially about an invitation to critical examination) in combination with the message to Muslims not to forbid or not to discriminate people (Christians) who are committing obvious shirk out of all the best intentions, maybe it a mercy to Christians as I understand and to some Christian priests who are considered to be nearest to Muslims because they are humble. I hope things I said make sense, and that the real meanings aren't lost in translations and understanding because I'm not a native English speaker, nor I speak Arabic. Wish you all the best.
OMG Paul @57:57 this is exactly I was saying to my brother .. I mean we know ALLAH spoke in quran through Gabriel and prophet Mohammed (PBUH) but who wrote the torah.. how many parts came from Moses (PBUH) how does it has Story of a Abraham ( PBUH) .. I am trying to reed torah little bit and these questions were arising. When did they start writing Torah who was it revealed on?
"The understanding of divinity or deity in the ancient world, for everyone, Hellenistic Jews and pagans, was much more elastic.." Thanks Paul for sharing that. Even Caesar was considered a "son of God," right? So I think we just have to seek guidance and read the New Testament in totality to obtain a better understanding of who Jesus was. PEACE
Jesus said he was I AM. This was blasphemy in those times. Pharisees wanted to stone him for saying he was I AM. So we have it sorted... Jesus is I AM means he is God of Abraham Jacob Moses Isaac
@@koppite9600 its strange because the divinity of jesus is in gospel of john, 3 other gospels together have not the same verses, also lots of verses in mathew give another picture, gospel of johne was the last gospel written in greek decades after 3 other canon gospels and probably by a gentile greek wich ofc never meet jesus unless he lived 120 years
@@koppite9600 Also the OT god is different not the same deity as NT makes 0 logical sense, god doesnt change personality or mind he is omnipotent if he wants he can destroy everything with a second he knows everything doesnt need to change ideas, things etc
@@jurgeni7545 unless you have proven an ulterior motive by John then what he says passes. John was also an apostle and the fact that he wrote the latest means he is most likely expounding what the first gospels failed to be clear on. Do you have any reason why John will suddenly make an about turn to change the gospel? He should be taken with same authority. Revelation (the only book revealed) which was written by St John also gives Jesus as God and also paints a trinity.
Dr. Ataie is a great scholar of Jewdism, Cheistianity and Islam. Dr. Ali Ataie is one of the greatest scholar who is an expert in Torah, the Bible and the hily Quran. He is the greatest!? He is fluent in Farsi, Arabic and Hebrew, he is a genius! We live you and learn a lot from you! We are proud of you, dear Dr. Ataie! You are great! We love you! Thank you so so much!

...this Islamic scholar is quite well read and brilliant, however as the Quran itself says of the crucifixion ..."...and those who differ therein are full of doubts, with no (certain) knowledge, but only conjecture to follow..." (al-Nisa 143:157)...what I heard was many Muslim differing views, many conjectures, and no certain knowledge...
@@anarchorepublican5954 The trouble with the Qur'an is its late date; it doesn't add anything of significance to the New Testament narratives historically, which are all clear on the fact that Jesus was executed by the Romans and died. And that he was raised from the dead.
@@jamesupton4996 ..well the late Quran does tells us the baby Jesus spoke from his crib...the simple answer which Prof Ataie only mentioned in passing is Muhammad(Pbuh) was clearly influenced by spurious apocryphal works and heretical christian sects seeking refuge from persecution outside of the Orthodox Byzantine Empire...Docetics in particular..
This was an excellent discussion that I didn’t want to end. I could happily sit for hours listening to you and Dr Ali. Please do another one with him and pick another subject.
I am thrilled to say Dr Ali will be back on Friday June 25th
Dr Ali Ataie is the best 21st century Biblical scholar...
Better than Zakir Naik?
@@a.e.5477 Dr Zakir Naik is not a scholar.
Brother zakir Naik is not s scholar! He is a Muslim apologetic.there is a big difference
@@a.e.5477 🤦
It's close between him and Bart Ehrman tbh.
Thank you gentlemen for this wonderful interview , may God bless you.
Glad you enjoyed it
I am so delighted to follow blogging theology...Sheikh Paul knows what believers want to know.
So glad I found this channel and both of you.
Dr. Ataie is so knowledgable and hats off to you for creating this platform👍🏻
Phenomenal session. Keep up the extraordinary expansion of our minds and hearts ♥️
Thank you! Will do!
May Allah provide us with more scholars on the level of these two gentlemen. Ameen. So enjoyable, so beneficial.
Wow, this was great. Excellent guest, again ;)
Glad you enjoyed it!
Im glued watching this program to the end, what an interesting discussion and Prof. Ali Ataie is a man of knowledge yet very humble person, one will never be bored listening to his insight. Thank you for having him in BT. Jazakallah khayr.
He returns later this week!
In arabic language prespective, if something muhaimen مهيمن over another thing, that mean if have a control over it or spread over. It can be said one team muhaimen over the other team, which mean they have absolute control/advantage over it
Ma sha allah. Great to see him. As always excellent job br.Paul :)
👍
This is the 2nd time I watched Dr. Ali Ataie in your channel. Turn out this was released a month ago, I missed it.
Thank you so much for having him Paul. I really enjoyed it, I can listen to you both for hours. There are so much to learn.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I am really excited to see more conferences like this one. Thank you Paul and Thank doctor Ali . I learned a lot of things from you guys .
This has to be watched a few times over!!! Truely instructive!! 😲🤩💯
*wow!love it paul!this guest is amazing.very open minded with no bias explanation.please invite him more often.*
For an irritatingly impatient person like me to keep listening to both of you guys speaking for more than five minutes should tell you something about your insightful conversation...... Very very impressive conversation of two academics yet very accessible for a lay man like me...... Keep the good work Paul and may Allah accept your deeds and forgive your sins and light for you the path to him the almighty with his guidance.
👍❤️
Great! You got a right person Dr Alie Ataie. He is one of the best Muslim thinkers we have on this era
A very beautiful program on essential topics
Which matters in the style of our lives . Well presented. Thank you .
Great discussion with such a learned scholar like Dr. Ali.
What an enlightening discussion .. I wish that Paul can have some “shorts” focusing on some very interesting key facts mentioned here … as always we should recognise the amazing effort by Paul.. keep going !!
🤩❤️❤️ Simply wow! May Allah Bless u’ll. As always Brother Paul’s efforts are humongous. Thanks
Nothing is more amazing than a great teacher
Dr Ali is top of the line
May Allah bless him and his family
And love and respect for Mr Paul
This is one of your best videos brother Paul!
Glad you think so!
I actually watched from start to and as I found the discourse really went on went nicely. Thanks Brother Paul.
Hi Paul, I always wondered what you could do if only Arabic was your mother tongue, and I understand the frustration that results from understanding the meaning of a word without grasping its essence, it is an ongoing dilemma for me with my English language. So please accept my humble contribution in explaining the essence of the word (muhaymen). If you consider the meaning (dominant) this will be easier than the foot note you read, examples:
Haymana on the trade of the country …… dominated the trade of the country (this is past tense)
Politically muhaymina state …….politically dominant state ( this is current situation)
Muhaymina share … dominant share ( this is current situation)
The strong boy yuhaymino the weak one…. The strong boy dominates the weak one (this is present tense)
In the Quranic context is means dominating, controlling and preventing it from going astay.
I hope that was helpful.
thank you
Nice .
Well done for getting one of the heroes of Dawah - much better than some of the kids at SC.
Both are dakwah in the different site. Sometimes Paul down to SC too.. Allah bless all of They both and us too.
@@matthewpaulson6497 Assalamualaikum. You actually missed the whole point. We certainly do believe in the scriptures sent down on Moses, David and Jesus (Peace be upon them all) but we do not believe in that which was written by Paul, Luke, John or Babylonic scriptures of Old testament. So there is a big difference. Allah claimed that they changed the words of God for their own. Now some morons like David Wood would bring verses which say Allah's word cannot be changed out of context in opposition to these claims. Now what you will find after entirety of the Holy Quran is that those scriptures were to Man as guardian but for His last revealation He Said "And I will be it's guardian ". And that is true and proven, see videos of this channel about it like on Birmingham's Quran parts found. Hoping you will read The Holy Quran entirely and also view the Bible and Quran in a scholarly view and decide you Path of Life (Bcoz Islam is more than a 'religion')
@@matthewpaulson6497 39:20 of the video you can clarify our understanding from there
This is the second Ataie talk I have seen on blogging theology - what an amazing man. He is an encyclopaedia within himself
Thank you Paul for bribing him on
I have read his book now “ in the defence of Islam. A super read
Masha Allah Professor. Wonderful presentation.May Allah bless you both.
Love love love the whole discussion....very profound @Paul Williams
👍❤️
Thank You very much Paul for this interview.
Such an amazing conversation 👍
Thank you for introducing Dr. Ali, surprisingly I am one of the ones living I. Cave, I had no idea about him, since this interview, I can’t get enough of his videos. Very insightful.
I wish some of the videos had better audio, but better then nothing.
Thanks
Hey Mr Paul. I think you should make video with Dr Sami Ameri. He's a very knowledgebal person and holds a PHD and can speak 5 languages (arabic, english, french, greek, hebrew). I'm sure you'll like him
I agree with this.Dr Sami is one of the most knowledgable Muslims out there.
@@yishif1244 of course
We need more of Dr Ali Ataie, Thank you brother for inviting him on your channel for such an insightful discussion.
He is back on 22nd of October!
May Allah reward you both and make your endeavorus for the deen fruitful
I wish Dr. James White would have dialogue with Dr. Ataie...that would be amazing.
here is the funeral service for Dr. Ataie ! Here is your Dr. Ataie, the humiliation ! Not James Mohammed White !

@@channel-sil shamoun is the biggest joke on the planet
James white is scared of muslim scholars with wisdom. I have seen him discussing with only the easy ones not the great thinkers. A mediocre mind can never appreciate a great mind
They’re all liars or stupid.he is liar
Dr. Ali Ataie is a treasure andva gem! Jazaakumullaahu khairan brother Paul!
Al tahir Ibn Ashoor senior theologian and expert in rhetorical aspects of the quran was a graduate of zytouna mosque (university). he is the author of famous Tafseer Al Tahreer Wal Tanweer. the resulting work of his 50 years in the field. Truly a treasure. I refer to it regularly.
The Quran 3:75 mentions, from among practicing Christians and Jews those who are very honest to the extent that you can entrust to them big amount of money and others whom one cannot entrust money not even a penny. In the same context of dishonesty there are honest Jewish and Christian groups and dishonest groups. In page 293 of his Tafseer of The Quran 3:79, Al Tahir Ibn Ashoor says after mentioning Jewish twist of the Torah in 3:78 which is a type of tahrif, Allah went on to mention the tahrif that the Christians had. Twist is a verb that should be in the past but The Quran brought the present tense to mean that the manipulation is on-going. End of statement by the author.
Jazakallah khair,
Thanks for sharing multitude of knowledge
OMG Paul this was such a great discussion, learnt some new things from this . Thank you for inviting Dr Ali to the channel, definitely he's a knowledgeable man with great sense of understanding. Surprisingly I noticed Dr Shabir Ali also holds some kind of similar position regarding Qur'an 4:157. That's something interesting. Wish to see Dr Ali and other professors again on the channel. May God bless you 😇.
Dr Ali will be coming back soon..
A very clear explanation is not confusing. I watched it many times, thanks!
Thank u both Paul and Ali
Jazakumullahu khair, both to brother Paul and brother Ali, this video is so benefiting. Wassalamu'alaikum...

Why are you spreading lies. I teach at Zaytuna, and I’ve never heard any Sufi Batini bida you talk about.
I've observed Paul that your getting about 120 new subscribers every day maashaAllah.
Thanks for that
Thank you Paul. For your a great video.
You are very welcome
A very interesting program! Enjoyed it very much. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it!
How come this Chanel who gives us invaluable knowledge hasn’t got millions of subscribers.
Because only Muslims agree with this channel.
How did i never know about this guy ali ataie? I should watch him more
Ali Ataie is the Ghazzali of our time. One of the most important comparative theologists.
I love you both
Brave Paul, exhausted and unwell, he courageously keeps fighting on! God bless him!

Wow I grew up listening to this guy and his debates
I hope that the discussion would not end. Enjoy so much from both of you.
It is the mark of learned person to speak about Contradictory ideologies accurately and unbiasedly while not accepting the said ideology.

Watched it 7 months later. Thankfully. Enlightened after listening to Dr. Ataie. The veils are slowly coming off.
Thanks to both of you. 👍🏽😘
*Clement of Alexandria* (2nd century CE Church Father) in his book “Paedagogus”:
“We must avoid any irregularity in the type of garment we choose. We must also guard against all waywardness in our use of them. For instance, *it is not right for a woman to wear her dress up over her knees,* as the Laconian maidens are said to do, because *a woman should not expose any part of her body...* I should like, too, not only that it be *forbidden them to expose their ankle,* but also that *it be made obligatory for them to wear a veil over their face and a covering on their head.”*
…
“Further, the man and woman each must come to the church dressed becomingly, with an unaffected walk... *Let the woman observe this further practise: Except when she is home, she should be completely veiled, for her appearance will be dignified only when she cannot be seen.* She will never fall into sin if she always keeps modesty before her eyes, and *retain her veil,* nor will she lure others into an occasion of sin by baring her face.”
In conclusion, the earliest Christians (ie truest to Christ and his apostles’ message) had more in common with Muslims than most modern Christians realize. 🙏
This is my second time watching this; feels like the first time! So interesting and informative.
Being Muslim is a great blessing from Allah
The shaytan of Islam (Allah) tells his slaves that they can be liars, and he sent a pdo.phile as your best moral example. And you believe that a god would do such a thing... It's from shaytan my Muslim friends.
@@nemesis1291 You worship a human being as God like an idolater in rejection of First Commandment. You are the one following Shaytan but your pride refuses to let you see it.
@@nemesis1291 astaghfirullah Al3adim are you even aware who are insulting ? Are u serious ? Omg the Shaytan is the one who made write This nonesense . Pls repent . Allah is God Allah is Arrahman the Most merciful the most gentle and the most compassionate . We will die inshaAllah if he wills upon worshipping him and doing Good as mentioned in The Quran . As for Jesus Christ he was and he will never be Equal to God he is a servant, a messenger and a disciple of God . Stop worshipping the Creation and start worshipping the Creator .
Looking forward to listen to hil again.amazing!
Hey Paul, when reading verse 5:48, you gotta read next verse 49 to understand what Mohayminan contextually means :)
Brilliant video.knowledgeable guest.
Glad you enjoyed it
The meaning of “Mutawaffi” (‘take in full’) is discussed in the exegesis of verses 3: 54-55 (page 76; Mariful Quran vol. 2 by Mufti Taqi Usmani). If you search for the Ma'ariful Quran tafsir on google you should be able to find it on an archive link (all 8 volumes)
I further recommend the tafsir of 4: 157-158 (page 622).
Although the substitutional hypothesis is widely accepted by Muslim scholars from the earliest times, including explanations of the verse from the famous companion Ibn Abbas Ra, who seemed to have understood it as substitutional, which suggests to me this was the idea held by the companions closest to the Prophet PBUH.
Regardless, I can understand the swooning hypothesis. But the “rapture hypothesis” that is proposed by Ustadh Ali and similarly written about by various recent Orientalist scholars is really stretching the verses' meanings to propose this hypothesis. E.g. One question comes to my mind, if indeed Jesus PBUH is on the cross and before his physical flesh dies, Allah intervenes and there is a rapture of his soul, how is that different from death? Because in death everyone’s soul departs the body and all of this is by the will of Allah (as in Allah’s intervention). And if indeed he died on the cross and yet Allah saying they did not kill him nor crucify him sounds like one of these Obi Wan Kenobi moment - “from a certain point of view” - type of verbal gymnastics. No one can do anything to anyone except by the will of Allah.
the view from islamic point of view at least when i first read it seemed to suggest another one was crucified to look like him, while jesus was ascended unharmed and untouched and another was made exactly like him, gospel of barnabas holds this view even most likely a forgery has a story wich no other has last chapters are amazing story really can hold up logically but ofc its a theory like 4 "canon" gospel they speculate too cause they didnt see jesus
also the famous mathew last line in the gospel "why have you forsaken me" can be that of who was crucified who wasnt jesus and asking to god could be judas etc, judas dies in canon gospels in a strange way he suicided some days after in a tree
@@jurgeni7545
I realized you can get tafsir of Ma'ariful quran (by Muft Taqi Usmani directly on quran.com), here are the links:
- Surah Ali Imran verse 55: quran.com/3:55/tafsirs/en-tafsir-maarif-ul-quran
- Surah Maidah verse 157: quran.com/4:157/tafsirs/en-tafsir-maarif-ul-quran
There are many theories for the substitution hypothesis apart for Judas - fully explicated here - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islamic_views_on_Jesus%27_death#Substitution_interpretation
I would caution against using the synoptic gospels or acts as sources, as we cannot verify the sources with any accuracy. They wouldn't pass any isnad (chain of narrators) or matn (text) verification test and would be straight up classified as fabricated (mawdu) according hadith sciences. These texts served to propagate a certain christological position. So, we only accept that which falls in line with the Quran as that is direct revelation and authentically preserved. Same goes for the hebrew bible (TaNaK).
Dr Ali is my favourite theologian now, please do make more videos with him.
He will be coming back soon to discuss Isaiah 42.
@@BloggingTheology Great to know, thanks Paul!
Ohh wow this is a surprise mashallah
Excellent... thanks to you both. Pual you are doing great job to all the Truth seekers
Informative encounter on crucifixion
across Christianity, Islam and Juidism.
First, Paul, thank you for the videos and a unique way of connecting 'pixels' for the larger picture. It is a pleasure also because your videos are a great guide to right literature.
I'd like to make a short contribution to the topic, although I'm not a scholar or theologian, and with full appreciation of Dr. Ataie and to his extensive knowledge and experience and to the many fresh facts he presented that mean a lot to me.
So, beside of aspects that Dr. Ataie analized, maybe there's intention of The Holy Qur'an of letting the Christians to have rulings or judging upon themselfes on the basis of their scriptures they have are connected to the principle of not forcing anyone to religion (Islam) and to also Islamic principle of allowing other traditions/religions in Muslim state to establish their own courts or judges for especially private, contractual, business and family matters making a system to resolve disputes among the members of their comunity (in this case Christians). This system of separate parallel legislations was, as far as I know, used by the end of Ottoman empire, and it is pretty unimaginable in a modern standardized western law systems formed in a one-size-fits-all manner. Logically, there is a question, why the Qur'an is specially mentioning gospels of the Christians if the own-ruling-right is a more universal right of nonmuslims? Maybe, the message is what Dr. Ataie said (especially about an invitation to critical examination) in combination with the message to Muslims not to forbid or not to discriminate people (Christians) who are committing obvious shirk out of all the best intentions, maybe it a mercy to Christians as I understand and to some Christian priests who are considered to be nearest to Muslims because they are humble.
I hope things I said make sense, and that the real meanings aren't lost in translations and understanding because I'm not a native English speaker, nor I speak Arabic.
Wish you all the best.
OMG Paul @57:57 this is exactly I was saying to my brother .. I mean we know ALLAH spoke in quran through Gabriel and prophet Mohammed (PBUH) but who wrote the torah.. how many parts came from Moses (PBUH) how does it has Story of a Abraham ( PBUH) .. I am trying to reed torah little bit and these questions were arising. When did they start writing Torah who was it revealed on?
Paul my broken record comment, this was stupendous!
"The understanding of divinity or deity in the ancient world, for everyone, Hellenistic Jews and pagans, was much more elastic.." Thanks Paul for sharing that. Even Caesar was considered a "son of God," right? So I think we just have to seek guidance and read the New Testament in totality to obtain a better understanding of who Jesus was. PEACE
Jesus said he was I AM. This was blasphemy in those times. Pharisees wanted to stone him for saying he was I AM.
So we have it sorted... Jesus is I AM means he is God of Abraham Jacob Moses Isaac
@@koppite9600 its strange because the divinity of jesus is in gospel of john, 3 other gospels together have not the same verses, also lots of verses in mathew give another picture, gospel of johne was the last gospel written in greek decades after 3 other canon gospels and probably by a gentile greek wich ofc never meet jesus unless he lived 120 years
@@koppite9600 Also the OT god is different not the same deity as NT makes 0 logical sense, god doesnt change personality or mind he is omnipotent if he wants he can destroy everything with a second he knows everything doesnt need to change ideas, things etc
@@jurgeni7545 unless you have proven an ulterior motive by John then what he says passes. John was also an apostle and the fact that he wrote the latest means he is most likely expounding what the first gospels failed to be clear on.
Do you have any reason why John will suddenly make an about turn to change the gospel? He should be taken with same authority.
Revelation (the only book revealed) which was written by St John also gives Jesus as God and also paints a trinity.
