He's not attacking ali, he's correcting ali's misrepresentation or going off topic. e.g. ali only giving half of the verse which will change the meaning. It's too bad that he had to correct ali for most of the debate. ali said in his rebuttal that "The resurrection is the least plausible explanation" but notice, He didn't provide a single shred of evidence to support his view, not one argument to show that it was the least plausible - mike

He is God - there is no deity except Him: the King, the Most Holy, the All-Perfect, the Source of Serenity, the Watcher of all, the Almighty, the Supreme in Might, the Majestic. Glorified is God far above what they associate with Him in worship. He is God: the Creator, the Inventor, the Shaper. He alone has the Most Beautiful Names. Whatever is in the heavens and the earth constantly glorifies Him. And He is the All-mighty, the All-Wise.
Well done Dr. Ali Ataie for not getting baited by the unsubstantiated claims Mike is using as "evidence". I loved the no BS straight to the point arguments against this ridiculous theology and this blatantly obvious corrupted book. I hope you do more debates in the future.
A corrupted book which your book stole some ideas just to make it look legit and declare it as words of God.. very funny without bible your book is full of trash without your book bible still a book of guidance to understand the GOD of abraham the God of moses etc.. your book is not complete how can it be the words of God where it cannot support itself without the bible that you say its corrupted.. funny thing about these is that the bible does not agree with your books to justify your claims you just make lame excuse that the bible is corrupt... Without bible your book is nothing but fairy tale
Dr. Ataie has presented an impressive argument but I fear that 95% of his audience does not have the intellectual capacity to follow what he has to say (myself included).
@@travislee1012 nope he said “one of the very few theories from Islamic classical scholars is Jesus might be crucified” not “I believe Jesus was crucified”. Nice try though 😂
@@MohamedShou Laughter does not suit the subject matter. After that, if you're a Muslim, it's clear that you don't think Jesus was crucified. But this is part of your faith and your choice of faith. God will judge.
One would think that Mike wouldn’t have wanted this debate to surface online. But he posted it. Which leads me to believe that he thinks he performed well in this… which he didn’t. He accuses Ali of going off topic but goes wayyy off topic to attack the literary style of the Quran. What a clown.
i have watched the video till the end. I am wondering why everyone is saying licona was destroyed. I do agree that you have to bring theology in it. In uhud an enemy killed a person who looks like the prophet. And then news spread like wildfire that Muhammad was killed. Some sahaba even went back to the city to defend it after hearing the news. But turns out it was a false alarm. There are a lot of cases in history where a person is mistaken for someone else and killed. Now this is very unlikely in the case of jesus. However it is still more plausible than rising after being dead for three days with all your cells stop functioning since the later cant naturally occur at all. So you have to bring theology into it. The theory he survived the crucifixion is also more plausible. Because an example survived of someone surviving (maybe a lot more survived but it didnt reach us). There are examples of survival even after falling from great heigth from a plane. Thats also unlikely for jesus but its still more plausible than waking after after all your cells stop working. Miracles are impossible (not just implausible) unless you bring theology into it because miracles pressuppose the supernatural. Otherwise it would be a very unlikely event, not a miracle. However sadly ali ataie didnt give any evidence for his theory except a single prophecy. Nor did he address most of licona's points. So it looks to me like mike won.
The number of scholarly based arguments by minutes of Dr Ali Ataie, left Mr Licona lightyears beyond. Licona could attempt to close 2 doors when Ali Ataie open 30. It was in all Licona honor to post it though.

What is so good about these debates is that the more Muslims squeeze the so-called Christians with the questions, the more they try to invent their own answers and become more and more CHRISTIANS interested in ISLAM and convert to Islam.
progressively Licona's body language reflected his unease with Ataie's solid, to the point, and academic arguments. Frankly Pauline Christianity is very difficult to defend on academic grounds, it is based on theological conjecture, presumptions, and speculations. notice towards the end Licona started to target his attacks towards the Quran with unsubstantiated statements about Quranic manuscripts differences, by now anyone who knows anything about the history of Quran knows there is no reality to such claims. Also, he digressed into issue of "dis-chanted" Muslims leaving Islam and embracing Christianity, again the numbers talk fr themselves in this matter about Islam being the fastest growing religion in the world. As to those leaving Islam and the true reasons why they are "embracing" Christianity that is a discussion by itself but suffice to say that they are not converted by christian theological arguments. no matter how hard christian missionaries try they can never overcome their embarrassing enmeshment with colonialism and neocolonialism. Historically Christianity always had the power of state to propel it and expand it from Emperor Constantine, to the Popes of the Vatican, to Western imperialism and colonialism.
So to be honest, as a Muslim Ali made a very good case for his arguement. Some of the points of Mr. Licona were not completely addressed but Mr. Licona kept on setting the bar for what he would accept as evidence and using that to dismiss Ali's arguments.
Asalaamu alaykum I wish that he can silence that two misguided souls that Arab and the stiff neck guy who post statements of Islam that he stuck out of his thumb he is completely ignorant about Islam

Ali smashed the deaf Licona!! Why the common christians or professor become blind and deaf and repeat same things again and again which have been answered properly!!
1:21:38 The Birmingham Quran manuscript (radiocarbon dated) now scientifically proves that the Quran was written down during the prophet's lifetime. David Thomas, professor of Christianity and Islam at the University of Birmingham writes, _"These portions must have been in a form that is very close to the form of the Qur’an read today, supporting the view that the text has undergone no alteration and that it can be dated to a point very close to the time it was believed to be revealed."_
Well, we all respect scholarship and great dialogue. But I was pretty surprised by Dr. Licona's strategies and tactics. It was all about attacking Dr. Ali, and say some words to insult islam like bogus, this, that and the other, but done pretty tactfully. Very disappointing. Dr. Ali or anyone with dignity should never debate someone like Dr. Licona in the future.
Isn't what all those who debate Islam just attacking and bringing weak false hadiths and what we call red herring fox news narrative? That's a normal tactic. Every individual who debates a Muslim, the muslim guy has somewhat memorised their bible and the christian doesn't even know 1 sentence from the Quran.
Ali is Lion, He is so Brilliant, what Mike talking about history, history, history , when He depends the 4 Gospels written and by Anonymous Like the rest of the New Testament, the four gospels were written in Greek. The Gospel of Mark probably dates from c. AD 66-70, Matthew and Luke around AD 85-90, and John AD 90-110. Despite the traditional ascriptions, all four are anonymous and most scholars agree that none were written by eyewitnesses.

God punishes sin whereas Allah doesn’t. Allah is a corrupt god, he doesn’t deserve my worship. God does. He will punish unrepentant sinners but He says that if we genuinely repent and trust in Jesus, we can be forgiven.

@@Nameless-pt6ojDid God forgive your sin or he (God) was paid the full price by Jesus? If Jesus paid the price in your place, that is also problematic, doesn't that mean Jesus love God's creation more than the creator himself? Sad, your following your desire not God

This is one of the best debates online, that shows that the clear truth is not confusing or steeped in myth s. It's very funny listening to this Christian man's first rebuttal the arrogance that he says the debate is already lost because Ali didn't address what he said???? Arrogance is not proof, history is not fact it is just a person's account which can and has easily been manipulated by those who keep it thinking it important it suits their own agendas. The winner of ears write their own histories recording only their own side and view of morality. The justification they had for killing and destroying others. .at the end he does talk about the Qur'an completely contradicting his leading statement that's in not about these books? Regarding death, if a person drowns but is given the jaws of life and recovered did they die? If a person's heart is replaced and their body stopped did they die? No if you live after an event that other thought you died, but you are not dead, you did not die. Or it did not kill you.

I like mike and i too thought that ali might flounder against mike’s arguments based on history-and just stick to textual and theological mike has to address and didnt-until his response came half way thro his rebuttal turn where he WRECKED mike and his arguments…then whereupon mike pretended not to hear when his closing statement turn came..ali won!!
Keep dreaming. Mike was often defensive and trying to attack quite a bit while ataie stuck to his case while preventing holes and poking holes in the opponent’s case which is the way to win a debate
This kind of debate is utterly degrading and achieves nothing whatsoever other than driving away the people you pretend to welcome - because these debates very quickly degenerates into personal and communal insults and attacks. Thank you Dr Licona for initiating and championing such style of debate and thank you Dr Ali Ataei for not falling into that trap and remain civil, respectful and impersonal unlike the other guy.
There is no crucifixion narrative in the Q Gospel! This is a major point that was not addressed. Many scholars believe Mathew and Luke had a source named Q. This is because Mathew and Luke both copy from Mark word for word (the synoptic problem). Now what is in both Mathew and Luke but not found in Mark must be an earlier source for Mathew and Luke to copy from. This earliest source does not mention anything about crucifixion!

Mike's rebuttal is very weak and didn't answer major issues that Ali raised... And when he mentions that crucifixion and Resurrection is a fact , he did not provide any historical fat supporting this ...
Not only Tacitus, but also Flavius Josephus, a Jew historian who, after losing the war against the Romans in 1 st Century, became highly romanized and moved to Rome. Josephus had no reasons to mention cruxifiction. He was Jew and he worked for pagan Roman Emperors in the time of his writing... But he does mention it

I have a genuine question: When Trinitarian Christians pray to the triune god which specific figure takes precedence or flashes up into their imagination? Is it Jesus the son of God or God the Father of Jesus or the Holy Spirit who is neither son nor father and it's not clear if he is an extension of the son or the father or if he's equally shared between them? To which one of the 3 do they address a particular supplication at a particular point in time? Or do they switch from one of the three depending on the situations and the nature of the supplication? Are there some supplications that they'd better address to the son, and some they'd better take up a bit higher to the father? And what's the specialty of the Holy Spirit in this regard? Or do they manage to untie the three in their imagination and make them overlap and merge or fuse in one single figure? What's the best or opportune or necessary occasion for them to do that mental fusion in order to guarantee a favorable answer to a certain prayer that probably needs a more powerful or more integral God to address?
I can’t believe Mike used the goat story ha ha ha The Quran from the moment each verse was revealed was memorised and has been memorised in every generation until today in an unbroken chain of narration. It’s an established tradition just go to a mosque in Ramadan and you will see it recited from memory one chapter every night for 30 nights! If the uk government burnt every copy of the Quran just the Huffaaz (Quran memorisers) in Bradford could gat together and rewrite the Quran word for word dot for dot from their memory!!

Mike: You are going off topic 😡😡 Also Mike: Goes as off-topic as possible attacking the Quran and talking about his friend who converted to Christianity.
Imo both sides had good points, but Dr. Mike failed to realize that historical evidence he is talking about is not an evidence that it was Jesus pbuh was on the cross, nor they come to the sunlight without Christian bias. In this case the Islamic view has the absolute advantage of the part "but it was made to appear so", Old testament supports this view and any other evidence that is presented falls under the category of seeing what was made to appear so. Dr. Ali did the best job he could do, but this debate had a clear answer to the main question: was Jesus Christ pbuh crucified? And the answer is no, it was made to appear so
Mike licona debated Bart Ehrman and got made to look really stupid and then he put the debate on his own channel to show his own stupidity. This man is totally shameless and will always act like he wins even wen uts blatantly obvious he lost
Mr licona seems to have no clue about the fact that Prophet Mohammed Swt is the most historically recorded with every detail of his personal and public life meticulously recorded. Also his proving the Quran wrong with his faulty logic is quite laughable.
Christianity is totally losing in persuading people to believe their concept on theology. It doesn't make sense not can they prove it using the old testament. In this debate, Mike mentions why he doesn't believe in the Qur'an but Ali manages to show many flaws in the new testament but this doesn't raise questions in Mike's mind. Mike is not being true to himself.
1:21:15 how do you judge truth mike ? Simple … message needs to be consistent and shouldn’t contradict New Testament books contradict each other .. the message of bible is not consistent ! Old Testament talks about 1 non triune god (no Jew thought god was triune) New Testament is assumed to be talking about triune god NT has four gospels each containing different endings of Jesus ! NT gives conflicting genealogies of Jesus So if you believe in truth ! How do you genuinely honestly reconcile bible contradiction to be true? To honestly be on side of the truth ask yourself .. is god the author of contradiction or confusion ?
Then I will tell them plainly, 'I NEVER KNEW YOU. AWAY FROM ME, YOU EVILDOERS !!'

Many will say to me on that day, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons and in your name perform many miracles?'

(Matthew 20:28). ** He claimed that his blood would institute a new covenant between God and humans (Matthew 26:28). ** He quoted a Psalm about God as if it applied to himself (Matthew 21:16). **He claimed to have the power to send angels throughput the world (Matthew 24:31). ** He said his words were infallible and eternal (Matthew 24:35).

@@Watermelon-dj8be The first reason is that the Qur’an said that he is the Messiah. This alone is sufficient. We do not ask why the Qur’an said that Isaac was a prophet, for example, or why Michael, a angel , the Qur’an, addresses people who know the meaning of these words. Secondly, from the Qur’an itself, Jesus, the son of Mary, is the last of the prophets of the Children of Israel, and he raises the dead and heals the sick with God’s permission. God has helped him over his enemies and helped him with the angels as prophesied by the psalms, and he raised him and he did not die yet, and everyone will believe in him upon his return. From the hadith, he is a king who will reign from the Holy Land for forty years This is the definition of Messiah among the Jews Now why do you believe that he is God?

You quote a scholar (of Arabic Dialects), but you don't tell his/her name to legitimize your point. Who said such a thing??? Give the name of this scholar so your audience can determine for themselves (through investigating this persons' crudencials) if the scholar qualifies to be trusted. FYI: when presenting an augument/debate/opinion of something, be transparent, otherwise you may be seen as a propagandist. No one wants to be wrong or left without a response, especially about their religion. But putting out falsehoods in order to make the people think you know what you're talking about makes not sense. If you're supposed to believe in God, aren't you supposed to be honest and trustworthy.
The christian debator said in the end "My father and I are made of same stuff, that's why they understood it was blasphemy and that's why they put him to death." So was Jesus crucified due to his claim of divinity or because he was a sacrificial lamb? This whole story of preplanned sacrifice has so many holes and the events that happened at that time don't add up to this preplanned sacrifice. So, if Jesus knew that he was a sacrificial lamb then he would have never said, "remove this cup from me" and then later calling to God asking him "why have you foresaken me(as if there was an agreement to save him)"? (His call was answered and God saved him and lifted him away before he died. That's why he is alive. Also he was in the tomb alive like Jonah) A preplanned sacrifice should have been done say by angels with a major announcement, huge festivities and grandeur. Also the timing should have been either at the time of Adam (preferebly in paradise) or on the day of resurrection where Jesus should be sacrificed in front of all the humanity with an announcement that now all of our sins are forgiven (including that of Hitler and the like). It just doesn't make sense. Crucification is all a made up story.
Come on Mr Licona. Bible is full of contradiction. Hebrews 5:7 New International Version During the days of Jesus’ life on earth, he offered up prayers and petitions with fervent cries and tears to the one who could save him from death, and he was heard because of his reverent submission." Was jesus saved according to this verse? Or this verse is a lie?
The verse that you’re quoting is ambiguous, and what do you mean by saved? Saved as in spared from death? Or saved as in resurrected from the dead? Words can have multiple meanings and you aren’t taking different nuances into consideration. God saved Jesus from death *by resurrecting him from the dead* after Jesus died on the cross. That’s what the verse means in context.
Wow using fear of Allah as a bad thing? That's why Christi-anity is saying the opposite of the truth and is actually anti-christ. Do Christian's actually use this as a claim they won the debate????? Just show how lost they really are.
Mr. Licona I commend you for keeping this video up but please know in 2023 you did not win for a simple fact... You attacked Dr. Ali and made it personal. As soon as you do that you lose the argument. Dr. Ali did not attack you but merely used your text book to show how it contradicts itself. We submit only to God and God has no equal.
So like Jonah, 3 days alive in the belly of fish. That is indeed a miracle. But somehow, the church fathers made up bedtime stories their Greek Jesus Christos God died 3 days in the belly of earth and resurrected. Hi hi hi
It’s ironic that you say around 1:43:21-1:43:28 that you have to interpret the vague according to the clear statements, yet Christianity is literally based on the complete opposite; where you interpret the vague passages & then interpret the clear passages using the interpretation from the vague passage you chose.
If two people gave two different accounts of the same thing contradicting each other, then at least one of them is wrong or inaccurate. 1. There are christians who claim Jesus is God. 2. There are christians who claim Jesus is son of God and not God. 3. There are christians who claim Jesus is both God and son of God. 4. There are christians who believe Jesus is a man (not God, not son of God) Which is accurate? These are all major contradictions in the religion. Different factions occured since after the time of Jesus. The Quran is a Revelation from God and is the Criterion over the current bible(s). It consists of message for mankind including to Jews, Christians and polytheists. Message for mankind include warning mankind of their errors. Chosen messengers of God were sent by God throughout history to warn their communities of their errors. Noah and Abraham were messengers of God who were sent to warn their communities of their errors of idolatry and the consequences of Hellfire. Idolatry is a grave error and an unforgivable sin. The only way is to repent and leave that believe and practise. Muhammad was also sent to warn the arab pagans at the time of their errors of idolatry. As an ensuing messenger who is also the final messenger chosen after Jesus, Muhammad was also sent to warn the Christians of their error of believing Jesus is God and the consequences of Hellfire. In the gospels, it is mentioned that Jesus was sent. Jesus was a human messenger of God among many human messengers of God that were sent throughout history.

Ali is an amazing scholar fluent in the languages that count. Very instrumental in my continuing to understand Islam and stay Muslim. Look up his discussions with Paul Wiliilams on blogging theology. It’s beautiful that as a Muslim I am allowed rever Jesus as a Prophet and best of all he wasn’t humiliated on the cross.
I’ve really noticed that Christians *especially Church Fathers* past and present use Greek language and ideology to interpret their New Testament which is really strange? That’s like if a orthodox rabbi uses Greek or Latin language and ideology to interpret the Torah or the Muslim ulama using ancient Persian or Cantonese language and ideology to interpret the Quran haha
@@sophiapark8859 which I still find strange when Jesus and his disciples never spoke Greek day to day haha. Imagine if the Quran was translated to Persian or Coptic and that became the standard Quran for centuries Subhanallah. Thank Allah for preserving the Qur’an and the Arabic language
Great debate by Ali … academic, rich and strong discussion supported by clear and strong proofs from the Old and New Testaments including quotes from the original languages … I was expecting better argument from Mike supports by proofs rather than hand waving discussion … and as a general rule audience decide who won the debate and not one of the debaters (embarrassing)
I feel like Dr.Atai should have started with the second part of his debate first with historical argument and how Flavius was probably fabricated and interprolated by Christians

Mike always set the Rule of the debate by coming first and set the Rule according to his own strong sides and doesn't see the internal evidence and discrepancies.. THAT'S unfair, evidence of resurrection or anything can be obtained from multiple approaches...
I would love to see Dr Mike Licona debate Rabbi Tovia Singer on Crucifixion and the relationship between the Old and New Testaments as claimed by the NT and Christians.
Hello Mike. We haven't spoken since this debate... such a long time ago. I hope you are doing well. Take care. Peace.

Laughter does not suit the subject matter. After that, if you're a Muslim, it's clear that you don't think Jesus was crucified. But this is part of your faith and your choice of faith. God will judge.
One would think that Mike wouldn’t have wanted this debate to surface online. But he posted it. Which leads me to believe that he thinks he performed well in this… which he didn’t. He accuses Ali of going off topic but goes wayyy off topic to attack the literary style of the Quran. What a clown.
i have watched the video till the end. I am wondering why everyone is saying licona was destroyed. I do agree that you have to bring theology in it. In uhud an enemy killed a person who looks like the prophet. And then news spread like wildfire that Muhammad was killed. Some sahaba even went back to the city to defend it after hearing the news. But turns out it was a false alarm. There are a lot of cases in history where a person is mistaken for someone else and killed. Now this is very unlikely in the case of jesus. However it is still more plausible than rising after being dead for three days with all your cells stop functioning since the later cant naturally occur at all. So you have to bring theology into it. The theory he survived the crucifixion is also more plausible. Because an example survived of someone surviving (maybe a lot more survived but it didnt reach us). There are examples of survival even after falling from great heigth from a plane. Thats also unlikely for jesus but its still more plausible than waking after after all your cells stop working. Miracles are impossible (not just implausible) unless you bring theology into it because miracles pressuppose the supernatural. Otherwise it would be a very unlikely event, not a miracle.
However sadly ali ataie didnt give any evidence for his theory except a single prophecy. Nor did he address most of licona's points. So it looks to me like mike won.
The Quaran say Isa was raised up to Allah .... But Mohammed die of poison and his Allah can not save him .
The number of scholarly based arguments by minutes of Dr Ali Ataie, left Mr Licona lightyears beyond. Licona could attempt to close 2 doors when Ali Ataie open 30. It was in all Licona honor to post it though.

Huge respect for Licona, honorable person
What is so good about these debates is that the more Muslims squeeze the so-called Christians with the questions, the more they try to invent their own answers and become more and more CHRISTIANS interested in ISLAM and convert to Islam.
progressively Licona's body language reflected his unease with Ataie's solid, to the point, and academic arguments. Frankly Pauline Christianity is very difficult to defend on academic grounds, it is based on theological conjecture, presumptions, and speculations.
notice towards the end Licona started to target his attacks towards the Quran with unsubstantiated statements about Quranic manuscripts differences, by now anyone who knows anything about the history of Quran knows there is no reality to such claims. Also, he digressed into issue of "dis-chanted" Muslims leaving Islam and embracing Christianity, again the numbers talk fr themselves in this matter about Islam being the fastest growing religion in the world. As to those leaving Islam and the true reasons why they are "embracing" Christianity that is a discussion by itself but suffice to say that they are not converted by christian theological arguments. no matter how hard christian missionaries try they can never overcome their embarrassing enmeshment with colonialism and neocolonialism. Historically Christianity always had the power of state to propel it and expand it from Emperor Constantine, to the Popes of the Vatican, to Western imperialism and colonialism.

1:21:38 The Birmingham Quran manuscript (radiocarbon dated) now scientifically proves that the Quran was written down during the prophet's lifetime. David Thomas, professor of Christianity and Islam at the University of Birmingham writes, _"These portions must have been in a form that is very close to the form of the Qur’an read today, supporting the view that the text has undergone no alteration and that it can be dated to a point very close to the time it was believed to be revealed."_
Well, we all respect scholarship and great dialogue. But I was pretty surprised by Dr. Licona's strategies and tactics. It was all about attacking Dr. Ali, and say some words to insult islam like bogus, this, that and the other, but done pretty tactfully. Very disappointing. Dr. Ali or anyone with dignity should never debate someone like Dr. Licona in the future.

There is no crucifixion narrative in the Q Gospel! This is a major point that was not addressed.

Mike's a professional lier. Nothing less!
Mike's rebuttal is very weak and didn't answer major issues that Ali raised... And when he mentions that crucifixion and Resurrection is a fact , he did not provide any historical fat supporting this ...
Tacitus quotes it in the 1st century.
Not only Tacitus, but also Flavius Josephus, a Jew historian who, after losing the war against the Romans in 1 st Century, became highly romanized and moved to Rome. Josephus had no reasons to mention cruxifiction. He was Jew and he worked for pagan Roman Emperors in the time of his writing... But he does mention it
How can the resurrection be historic when all four gospels contradicts each other " which one of these 4 documents is true if they contradict each other? One thing that we can accept is that the 4 gospels are historically *contradictory* its not unified.

I have a genuine question: When Trinitarian Christians pray to the triune god which specific figure takes precedence or flashes up into their imagination? Is it Jesus the son of God or God the Father of Jesus or the Holy Spirit who is neither son nor father and it's not clear if he is an extension of the son or the father or if he's equally shared between them?
To which one of the 3 do they address a particular supplication at a particular point in time? Or do they switch from one of the three depending on the situations and the nature of the supplication? Are there some supplications that they'd better address to the son, and some they'd better take up a bit higher to the father? And what's the specialty of the Holy Spirit in this regard? Or do they manage to untie the three in their imagination and make them overlap and merge or fuse in one single figure? What's the best or opportune or necessary occasion for them to do that mental fusion in order to guarantee a favorable answer to a certain prayer that probably needs a more powerful or more integral God to address?

Imo both sides had good points, but Dr. Mike failed to realize that historical evidence he is talking about is not an evidence that it was Jesus pbuh was on the cross, nor they come to the sunlight without Christian bias. In this case the Islamic view has the absolute advantage of the part "but it was made to appear so", Old testament supports this view and any other evidence that is presented falls under the category of seeing what was made to appear so. Dr. Ali did the best job he could do, but this debate had a clear answer to the main question: was Jesus Christ pbuh crucified? And the answer is no, it was made to appear so

Alhamdulillah robil aalamin. Islam is the way
God bless you Brother Ali .
Thank you brother Ali. You are so truth.
Ali, you are wonderful
Mike licona debated Bart Ehrman and got made to look really stupid and then he put the debate on his own channel to show his own stupidity. This man is totally shameless and will always act like he wins even wen uts blatantly obvious he lost
Don’t be so nasty instead pray for him that Allah Guides him
Pray for the Lord Jesus Christ to be his rock against the bullying he receives on the Internet.
Mr licona seems to have no clue about the fact that Prophet Mohammed Swt is the most historically recorded with every detail of his personal and public life meticulously recorded. Also his proving the Quran wrong with his faulty logic is quite laughable.

Just wondering as why Mr Licona never really addressed what happened to the other gospels (the 3 that Ali mentioned and are lost)
Apostasy discussion was really off topic. Well Dr Ataie for such brilliant respond.
Christianity is totally losing in persuading people to believe their concept on theology. It doesn't make sense not can they prove it using the old testament.
In this debate, Mike mentions why he doesn't believe in the Qur'an but Ali manages to show many flaws in the new testament but this doesn't raise questions in Mike's mind. Mike is not being true to himself.
1:21:15 how do you judge truth mike ?
Simple … message needs to be consistent and shouldn’t contradict
New Testament books contradict each other .. the message of bible is not consistent ! Old Testament talks about 1 non triune god (no Jew thought god was triune) New Testament is assumed to be talking about triune god
NT has four gospels each containing different endings of Jesus !
NT gives conflicting genealogies of Jesus
So if you believe in truth ! How do you genuinely honestly reconcile bible contradiction to be true?
To honestly be on side of the truth ask yourself .. is god the author of contradiction or confusion ?
Then I will tell them plainly, 'I NEVER KNEW YOU. AWAY FROM ME, YOU EVILDOERS !!'
Matthew 7:21 -> "Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.
Many will say to me on that day, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons and in your name perform many miracles?'
Thank you so much bro

You sound like Devil quoting the Psalm to Jesus Christ!! Strange...you refute the Bible and then quote from it support your view.
Read the entire chapter what Jesus Christ meant by that:
Jesus Christ also claimed the following:
** Jesus preached about himself, and it made people angry.
** He made sure that his disciples knew who he was (Matthew 16:13-17).
**He talked as if he were the judge of the entire world (Matthew 10:32; 7:21-23).
** He talked as if everyone had to obey him just as they obeyed God (Matthew 7:25-29).
**He claimed the authority to forgive sins that were against God (Matthew. 9:2-6).
**He claimed to know what the Holy Spirit would do (Matthew 10:20).
**Jesus claimed to know how cities would fare in the judgement (Matthew 12:41-42; 11:20-24).
**He said it was worse to reject him than to commit the sins of Sodom (Matthew 11:24).
**He claimed to know more about God than anyone else (Matthew 11:27).
**He claimed to be more important than the Temple of God (Matthew 12:6).
** He claimed to have divine authority over the Sabbath (Matthew 12:8).
** He promised his disciples heavenly rewards (Matthew 16:19).
** He said that devotion to himself was more important than life itself (Matthew 16:25-27).
**He claimed that he would return with the glory of God (Matthew 16:27).
** He gave enormous authority to his disciples which means that he himself had even greater authority (Matthew 18:18).
** He claims to have all authority and have power everywhere (Matthew 18:20; 28:28).
**He claimed He is the one who can let them enter the Kingdom of God.
** Jesus Christ claimed that his life would ransom everyone else, as if He were worth more than everyone else put together. (Matthew 20:28).
** He claimed that his blood would institute a new covenant between God and humans (Matthew 26:28).
** He quoted a Psalm about God as if it applied to himself (Matthew 21:16).
**He claimed to have the power to send angels throughput the world (Matthew 24:31).
** He said his words were infallible and eternal (Matthew 24:35).

How can Christians believe in 1 God and then see the son coming with his father on the last day??? I My wife used to be a Christian and she couldn't believe that God was a Man because the bible is full of passages saying that God is not a Man or the son of man, read Job 25:3 and what does it mean to you
God is not a man who lies which means humans lie God doesn’t. Can you give me one reason why you call Jesus as messiah??
@@Watermelon-dj8be
The first reason is that the Qur’an said that he is the Messiah. This alone is sufficient. We do not ask why the Qur’an said that Isaac was a prophet, for example, or why Michael, a angel , the Qur’an, addresses people who know the meaning of these words. Secondly, from the Qur’an itself, Jesus, the son of Mary, is the last of the prophets of the Children of Israel, and he raises the dead and heals the sick with God’s permission. God has helped him over his enemies and helped him with the angels as prophesied by the psalms, and he raised him and he did not die yet, and everyone will believe in him upon his return. From the hadith, he is a king who will reign from the Holy Land for forty years This is the definition of Messiah among the Jews Now why do you believe that he is God?
@@tokasab8684 moron Daniel 7:13-14 is Job of messiah. You’re too intelligent cuz you’re a comparing a human to angel. You don’t know how many angels are there. He’s a king mentioned in Hadith ?? Gimme the verse. Btw if you’re alive then Jesus gonna wipe every Muslim nation who wants to wipe Israel out of earth in 2028 as mentioned in bible. You don’t know the meaning of messiah yet demonic quran won’t tell anything about messiah yet you call Jesus as messiah wth. And also learn about NWO cuz it’s mentioned in bible not in demonic quran
There are many christians who believe that jesus PBUH was only a human being
Christian logic amazes me.
You quote a scholar (of Arabic Dialects), but you don't tell his/her name to legitimize your point. Who said such a thing??? Give the name of this scholar so your audience can determine for themselves (through investigating this persons' crudencials) if the scholar qualifies to be trusted. FYI: when presenting an augument/debate/opinion of something, be transparent, otherwise you may be seen as a propagandist. No one wants to be wrong or left without a response, especially about their religion. But putting out falsehoods in order to make the people think you know what you're talking about makes not sense. If you're supposed to believe in God, aren't you supposed to be honest and trustworthy.
woaw ian stunned by the knowledge of Ali, Mike seems like a child her.
The christian debator said in the end "My father and I are made of same stuff, that's why they understood it was blasphemy and that's why they put him to death."
So was Jesus crucified due to his claim of divinity or because he was a sacrificial lamb?
This whole story of preplanned sacrifice has so many holes and the events that happened at that time don't add up to this preplanned sacrifice.
So, if Jesus knew that he was a sacrificial lamb then he would have never said, "remove this cup from me" and then later calling to God asking him "why have you foresaken me(as if there was an agreement to save him)"?
(His call was answered and God saved him and lifted him away before he died. That's why he is alive. Also he was in the tomb alive like Jonah)
A preplanned sacrifice should have been done say by angels with a major announcement, huge festivities and grandeur.
Also the timing should have been either at the time of Adam (preferebly in paradise) or on the day of resurrection where Jesus should be sacrificed in front of all the humanity with an announcement that now all of our sins are forgiven (including that of Hitler and the like). It just doesn't make sense. Crucification is all a made up story.
Come on Mr Licona. Bible is full of contradiction. Hebrews 5:7
New International Version
During the days of Jesus’ life on earth, he offered up prayers and petitions with fervent cries and tears to the one who could save him from death, and he was heard because of his reverent submission."
Was jesus saved according to this verse? Or this verse is a lie?
The verse that you’re quoting is ambiguous, and what do you mean by saved? Saved as in spared from death? Or saved as in resurrected from the dead? Words can have multiple meanings and you aren’t taking different nuances into consideration.
God saved Jesus from death *by resurrecting him from the dead* after Jesus died on the cross. That’s what the verse means in context.
Dear Mike, Can you have a discussion on the apostleshipness of Paul the Saul. That would be enlightening, thank you! Salaam Aleikum.
Wow using fear of Allah as a bad thing? That's why Christi-anity is saying the opposite of the truth and is actually anti-christ.
Do Christian's actually use this as a claim they won the debate????? Just show how lost they really are.
Where is the evidence from 33AD until 610AD of the injil given from allah to isa?
Mr. Licona I commend you for keeping this video up but please know in 2023 you did not win for a simple fact... You attacked Dr. Ali and made it personal. As soon as you do that you lose the argument. Dr. Ali did not attack you but merely used your text book to show how it contradicts itself. We submit only to God and God has no equal.
kah kah kah... Some people happy to know Jesus is alive!!! like Jonah...He alive!!!
@Handy Man You got a point there... so you believe Jonah died. But you are wrong..
So like Jonah, 3 days alive in the belly of fish. That is indeed a miracle.
But somehow, the church fathers made up bedtime stories their Greek Jesus Christos God died 3 days in the belly of earth and resurrected.
Hi hi hi
It’s ironic that you say around 1:43:21-1:43:28 that you have to interpret the vague according to the clear statements, yet Christianity is literally based on the complete opposite; where you interpret the vague passages & then interpret the clear passages using the interpretation from the vague passage you chose.
Wow... this is very interesting, and intriguing. Praise GOD. 🙏🏽🦍
If two people gave two different accounts of the same thing contradicting each other, then at least one of them is wrong or inaccurate.
1. There are christians who claim Jesus is God.
2. There are christians who claim Jesus is son of God and not God.
3. There are christians who claim Jesus is both God and son of God.
4. There are christians who believe Jesus is a man (not God, not son of God)
Which is accurate?
These are all major contradictions in the religion. Different factions occured since after the time of Jesus.
The Quran is a Revelation from God and is the Criterion over the current bible(s).
It consists of message for mankind including to Jews, Christians and polytheists.
Message for mankind include warning mankind of their errors.
Chosen messengers of God were sent by God throughout history to warn their communities of their errors.
Noah and Abraham were messengers of God who were sent to warn their communities of their errors of idolatry and the consequences of Hellfire.
Idolatry is a grave error and an unforgivable sin. The only way is to repent and leave that believe and practise.
Muhammad was also sent to warn the arab pagans at the time of their errors of idolatry.
As an ensuing messenger who is also the final messenger chosen after Jesus, Muhammad was also sent to warn the Christians of their error of believing Jesus is God and the consequences of Hellfire.
In the gospels, it is mentioned that Jesus was sent.
Jesus was a human messenger of God among many human messengers of God that were sent throughout history.
The human messengers of God were chosen from humans and were sent to convey message to other humans.
The one God who sent Jesus is the same one God who sent Noah is the same one God who sent Abraham is the same one God who sent Moses.
Jesus did not send Jesus.
The one God sent Jesus.
The one God is not Jesus.
The one God is the most High and the one who sends, not someone who is sent.
Peace.
Ali is an amazing scholar fluent in the languages that count. Very instrumental in my continuing to understand Islam and stay Muslim.
Look up his discussions with Paul Wiliilams on blogging theology.
It’s beautiful that as a Muslim I am allowed rever Jesus as a Prophet and best of all he wasn’t humiliated on the cross.
attack mode as soon you start loosing debate and are presented with undeniable facts and evidences the truth truly hurts
I’ve really noticed that Christians *especially Church Fathers* past and present use Greek language and ideology to interpret their New Testament which is really strange? That’s like if a orthodox rabbi uses Greek or Latin language and ideology to interpret the Torah or the Muslim ulama using ancient Persian or Cantonese language and ideology to interpret the Quran haha
Most of the New Testament was originally written in Greek! I think that is why it is so common for them to go back to the Greek texts.
