Predestination in Islam: The Doctrine Stated
Colin Smith, , Islam
One of the major beliefs about God held by the majority of Muslims is that of His absolute sovereignty. This concept is unavoidable for Muslims since it is explicitly taught in the Qur’an. For example: To Him is due the primal origin of the heavens and the earth: When he decreeth a matter, He saith to it: “Be,” and

The Qur’an in the Light of God-breathed Scripture: Shirk, Surah 4:48
James White, , Islam
Surely Allah does not forgive shirk (associating any partner with Him); and may forgive sins other than that if He so pleases. This is because one who commits shirk with Allah, does indeed invent a great sinful lie. (Surah 4:48, F. Malik Translation) One of the greatest stumbling blocks to communicating the gospel of grace to the Muslim is “designed

Now This is Interesting…
James White, , Islam
I wrote a review of Daniel C. Peterson’s book on Muhammad for the CRI Journal recently, so I found this little announcement quite interesting. This is one debate I am looking forward to listening to! Details here.

Shabir Ally: In Defense of Double Standards
James White, , Islam
Here is a clip from the Monday debate where I gave strong evidence of the inconsistency of Shabir Ally in his constant dependence upon the most radical, left-wing “Christian” scholarship for all of his assertions regarding the New Testament.

Islamic Apologetics and New Testament Transmission (#9)
James White, , Islam
Saifullah and Azmy quote the less than conservative Interpreter’s Bible in saying, “It is safe to say that there is not one sentence in the NT in which the MS tradition is wholly uniform.” This is simply untrue, and most especially in the context in which it is offered, it is grossly misleading. First, there is a vast difference between

The Episode to Treat Insomnia
James White, , Church Fathers, Church History, Eastern Orthodoxy, Exegesis, General Apologetics, Islam, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters
Yeah, I know. I did warn everyone beforehand saying this would be a seminary-level program, and, well, it was. Just a little discussion of today’s journey and where I am before getting into Gregory’s confession of faith once again. For some reason I really felt like I need to provide a lot of background information today, so, I did. After

Some Thoughts on South Africa While Fresh on the Mind
James White, , Homosexuality, Islam
Of course, my mind isn’t very fresh as I sit at Heathrow airport in London after the overnight flight from Johannesburg (everyone calls it JoBurg). In fact, I was so tired upon arriving that I “slipped” while shaving and took a very noticeable chunk out of my beard along the thin portion…so much so I just shrugged and took the
