Sometimes when talking with Muslims, you may hear the line, “Jesus never said he was God” or “Jesus never said, ‘I am God, worship me.'” There are a lot of valid responses to this comment. Among these is the response: “He didn’t have to!” I. The Father’s Testimony to the Son The Father testified to the son, calling him “My

MuslimByChoice, a channel on YouTube, often attempts to respond to my materials. Unfortunately, he (they?) have provided far too many examples of bad argumentation, poor research, and simply erroneous reasoning. Here is an attempt to respond to only a tiny portion of my opening remarks from last week in Toronto.

Between 1985 and 1989 I studied through Fuller Theological Seminary. While some of my professors were conservative, most were far to my left, and the reading assignments exposed me to the full range of form and redaction criticism that is the “given” in today’s realm of Christian scholarship. I can tell you, without hesitation, that the vast majority of those

I have just a few minutes before I need to leave to speak at the Cambridge Reformed Bible Conference, but wanted to report on last night’s debate. I intend to do a vlog (video blog) about it when I get back and address some of the key issues raised by Shabir Ally (esp. regarding his reliance upon liberal, destructive criticism

My sincerest thanks to Ivey Conerly, Marcus Pittman, and everyone else who assisted in putting together this spoken word presentation of the gospel for Muslims. Please pray the Lord will spread this video all through the Muslim world and that God, by His Spirit, will draw many to the glorious Lord, Jesus the Messiah. Many thanks to all those who

Yesterday as I rode I was listening to a series of lectures of Hamza Yusuf on the life of Muhammad. I was taken aback at the direct nature of his statements regarding the absolute necessity of loving Muhammad. Indeed, that the Muslim must love Muhammad more than he loves his own soul. That by loving Muhammad one can find eternal

Going to go for a Jumbo (though our host is a bit under the weather, hence, expect a few brief pauses while he uses the cough/snork/snort/grab a breath button) DL today. First hour will continue our response to Wajdi Akkari, the last half hour will be open phones! Join us today!

Since I am on James White’s blogging team, and am friends with him, I was sure to carefully read an article posted with the alarming title, “Exposing James White’s Deceit and Ignorance of Islamic Scripture,” from the “Calling Christians” website. The title wasn’t supported by the body of the piece. “Deceit and Ignorance” turned out to be, at most, a

I have provided to Ivey Conerly my thoughts on how to present the gospel while dealing with one of the biggest hurdles Islam places before faith in Jesus, that being Surah 4:157: That they said (in boast), “We killed Christ Jesus the son of Mary, the Messenger of Allah”;- but they killed him not, nor crucified him, but so it

My sincere thanks to Ivey Conerly and Marcus Pittman and to all who made this project possible. Soli Deo Gloria! Please send this video far and wide!

Our professional response will appear shortly! The “He Submitted Freely” t-shirt is available here.

David Wood just posted these over at Answering Muslims. It is great to hear someone whose origins are from “the other side” of the divide confirming what we have been saying repeatedly in reference to this vital issue (i.e., he knows the Islamic sources from the inside though he is a convert). A full and complimentary study would be found

The punchline is this – “a goat ate it.”  In discussions regarding Qur’anic preservation, the following hadith is sure to come up: Reported ‘Aisha (RA): ‘the verse of stoning and of suckling an adult ten times was revealed, and they were (written) on a paper and kept under my pillow. When the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) expired and we were

I understand that my friend, Dr. James White, may be preparing a better response to “Why I Hate Religion, But Love Jesus || Muslim Version,” but I want to chime in now, while it is fresh on my mind (rather than waiting 24 years – just sayin’).  I’ll respond in chunks to the lyrics.  The production quality was pretty good

You would have to be living under a rock somewhere not to have heard about the viral video produced by Jefferson Bethke called “Why I Hate Religion But Love Jesus,” found here. 15.5 million views so far. Others have commented on this video, so I will not. In any case, it has spawned many responses on YouTube. I saw a

We have noted this before, and when the guys at Acts 17 reposted it just now, I thought I would comment again. There is something deeply disrespectful in Ehrman’s comments here. Oh, I’m sure he was just trying to be funny, in a way. But remember when I asked him serious questions about his methodology and his conclusions as they

Please share this video with every Muslim you know. It is the concluding statement I made in a debate in Southern California in 2008.

You tell me: To our Muslim readers: We worship one God, who has manifested Himself in Three Persons. One Yahweh, one God, Three Persons. No association of anything created or non-eternal. No married gods, no wives or consorts (contra Q. 6:101). Three co-equal and co-eternal Persons sharing fully the one, indivisible being of God. While the Qur’an attempts to identify

See, they like the part BEFORE I start talking: This should make Steve Camp happy! Hopefully, Dad likes what comes after that. At least we’d like to think so! Oh, don’t forget, the DL is live this morning at 11am MST. We will open the phones today, so don’t forget, 877-753-3341!

You know how you get into studying a subject, run across a gem in a footnote, a bibliographical entry, etc., and end up finding something really valuable? Well, I sort of feel like that right now, as I ran across some “leads” in my on-going study of the wide, wide topic of Islam, and not wishing to miss out on

Many thanks to Evan May and the folks in New Orleans for posting these videos on Vimeo. I would like to fairly ask those who listened to Ergun Caner’s presentation at the Veritas conference this past weekend to compare and consider not only the information presented, but the manner in which it is presented as well. Which would you like

Subject: Islam Message: Mr. White If you want me to stop spamming and telling everyone you have a Bogus and Fake PhD and ThD then take down that discussion video. If not, the spamming continues. You have till Friday to do so. You meet some interesting folks on Twitter these days. I received this e-mail from Ehteshaam Gulam, a less-than-pleasant

Christian Girl, Family in Pakistan Expelled over Misspelling Wild accusation of ‘blasphemy’ forces eighth-grader’s family to relocate. LAHORE, Pakistan, September 28 (CDN) — An eighth-grade student in Pakistan has been expelled from school and her family forced to relocate after the Christian girl misspelled an Urdu word, leading to accusations of “blasphemy,” sources said. In the garrison city of Abbottabad,

I will try to find the time before I head to Sydney and Brisbane to do a series of videos refuting this. Amazing reliance upon such experts as Hans Kung! Dr. Brown: let’s schedule a debate on this, shall we? I would love to expose this kind of inconsistent anti-Christian rhetoric. (By the way, note his #1 reason includes a
