"For truly I tell you, until heaven and earth pass away, not one letter, not one stroke of a letter, will pass from the law until all is accomplished" Matthew 5'18
Nope. That's a vague set of verses. The actually Greek seems to assume that Jesus is talking about a different law then the old law seen in the testament

@@cervezaway7049 which part of god would then be dependent upon the other parts? Don’t you see the inconsistency and irrationality? God in nature cannot be divided, because which parts are then dependent upon the other parts? That way of thinking makes god dependent upon some other part of himself. One of the definitions of God himself is independence. It is in Gods nature to be free from anything and everything in existence. Also God is the necessary being and is unique and cannot be anything like his creation. It goes against the nature of God to be anything like His creation. In addition the gentleman in the video gave you proof that your belief that you hold that Jesus (peace be upon him) was God himself, and the literal son of God is blasphemy according to the ORIGINAL CHRISTIANS. According to the literal followers of Jesus (peace be upon him) who saw him, ate with, lived with him and learned directly from him Paul was seen as a blasphemer and apostate. Let that last paragraph sink in. This is not my or your opinion. This is the opinion of the TRUE Christians who were the TRUE followers of Jesus (peace be upon him) who saw him, followed him and learned directly from him. Paul on the other side went against if not all overwhelmingly majority of Jesus (peace be upon him) teaching like calling him the one true God, and the literal son of God.. Paul also NEVER met Jesus (peace be upon him). Let that also sink in. Paul was seen as THE enemy by the true followers of Jesus (peace be upon him), and as an apostate. I hope you see the inconsistency and irrationality of following Paul’s teachings which are AGAINST Jesus’s (peace be upon him) teaching. If you truly love Jesus you follow his teachings and NOT Paul’s teachings, and you follow exactly what the apostles and James did. NOT Paul the apostate and blasphemer. I don’t understand how you can keep the same opinion as Paul when he was seen as an apostate and THE enemy by the apostles and the original followers of Jesus (peace be upon him), like for example his brother James who was the Head leader of council of Jerusalem.. If you have watched this whole video and understood it, and yet still keep the same opinions as the apostate Paul who most Christians today believe in and follow, then you simply are proving yourself that you base your opinions on emotions and not rationality and evidences. This means any argument you will put forward will be irrational and inconsistent of truth because you yourself deny the proof and evidences that the early ORIGINAL TRUE CHRISTIANS AND FOLLOWERS OF JESUS (peace be upon him) DENIED Paul and called him THE ENEMY of their FAITH. Read all of this again carefully and let it sink in. I will not respond any further because you have proved that you base your opinions on emotions rather than evidences and rationality and you will continue to do so. Have a nice day.

If James was the head of the church, why is it that the church he was head of did not become the predominant church in which the true doctrines of Christianity came to be known? It makes no sense that Christ would allow the congregation holding the truth about Him, to fall into extinction.
@Faiscal Siraj Jesus never mentioned or went to the Kaaba. Jesus never went to or mentioned a mosque. Jesus never mentioned or went to Mecca. Jesus never mentioned or participated in Islamic observances like Ramadan. Jesus never mentioned a buraq. Jesus never mentioned Muhammad. Jesus never mentioned a Quran. Jesus never mentioned or identified Himself as a Muslim. Instead... Jesus went to the Jewish Temple regularly. Jesus went to Jewish synagogues regularly. Jesus went to Jerusalem regularly. Jesus observed and participated in Jewish holidays like Passover. Jesus spoke about the Holy Ghost. (Muhammad was unholy and a wicked man.) Jesus identified Himself as a Jew. (Read His conversation with the Samaritan woman at the well in the Gospel of John.) Jesus had disciples, not slaves like Muhammad did. Jesus gave life, not murder like Muhammad did. Nope. Jesus was not a Muslim. 🙂
As a Christian, I don't think of my faith as 'separate' from the earliest Jewish believers. If anything, whenever I think of the church, this is my first image of what 'church' is, the ecclesia who were in the first instance 'called out' Jewish believers in Yeshua as Messiah. I believe there are many Christians, probably far more than presumed, that identify with the church as written in the New Testament, beginning with the disciples. I don't think this should be any surprise to anyone. At 5:56, Paul in his video, departs from scriptural evidence and asserts his assumption that the earliest believers "didn't believe that Jesus died for their sins" - here Paul is simply departing from the scriptural evidence to assert his own desires, because the scripture tells us the opposite in 1 Corinthians 15:3-7 "For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received: *that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures,* 4 that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures, 5 and that he appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve. 6 Then he appeared to more than five hundred brothers at one time, most of whom are still alive, though some have fallen asleep. 7 Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles." - Paul having received this from Peter the disciple and James the brother of Jesus. By Paul asserting his own Islamic bias, here, that 'Jesus didn't die for anyone's sins', is simply NOT in the scripture. The opposite is the case, in which the gospels are linked inescapably to Isaiah 53 and Psalm 22, which affirm the Suffering Servant who "bore the iniquities of many". There simply isn't the scripture to back up Paul's assertion in the video, which represents in reality a very immature comprehension of the Messiahship of Jesus, which was recognised by the earliest Jewish believers and was eventually why these earliest believers were ejected from the Temple and synagogues, James being martyred, despite his Jewish church leadership in Jerusalem.
The problem is that what you call scriptures developed much later and became canonical, destroying and suppressing everything before it. You should start by examining the historical accuracy of the NT. Read the book "The five gospels" from the Jesus Seminar.
@@disuser-lp3qv1tm8f re: “The problem is that what you call scriptures developed much later and became canonical, destroying and suppressing everything before it.” >> Perhaps you would like to provide some EVIDENCE for your statement? I suggest to you, that your statement is pure supposition. Without any evidence you are on very weak ground, that is totally depending upon your imagination! There is actually far greater evidence that the Quran is actually what you are describing here! The reason for this, is that if we follow the text of the Quran, it leads us all the way back on a trail through centuries of the history of Christian heretical groups, who denied the divinity of Christ and ideas about the trinity. What you have in the Quran, all comes from Christian heresies, that existed in Syria and the Near East, before the 7th century. The Quran is the final edition of Christian lectionaries from these Christian groups, which we understand to be called the Quriyana text (Lectionary). So this represents the real story behind the Quran, not the one you have been told. For a start, the reason your statement is clearly error, is that you claim that our scriptures “destroyed and suppressed everything before it”! But this is obviously untrue! What came before the New Covenant or New Testament, is the ‘Old Testament’ or Tanack and you will find that full Bibles contain both the New Testament and the Old Testament that came before it! Therefore, the scriptures of the New Testament did NOT ‘suppress or destroy, everything before it’! You see when you make clearly erroneous statements that have no foundation to them, they fall apart pretty quickly! The foundation to the New Testament is the Old Testament which is attached to it (before it). re: “You should start by examining the historical accuracy of the NT.” >> You mean you want me to RETURN AGAIN to ‘examine the historical accuracy of the NT’? Why would you want me to go over this again? I am satisfied with the historical validity of the NT. re: “Read the book "The five gospels" from the Jesus Seminar.” >> I’ll read that if you read Christof Luxenborg’s book explaining why the Quran is really an Aramaic text from Christian sources that has been corrupted by the editor of the Quran - ok? The so called “Jesus Seminar”, is an outdated and largely discredited movement in today’s theology, with good reason! Modern theologians consign this movement to the dusty shelves of ‘has beens’ because they used some very poor rational as the basis for their protocols and theories, which were based upon presumptions from sceptics, who do not believe in God or the miraculous. So for you, as a Muslim, for instance, you would not support the rational behind the so called ‘Jesus Seminar’ because a Muslim would regard it as ungodly. The people of the Jesus Seminar, for instance would regard the ‘virgin birth’ you have in the Quran as nonsense and untrue and therefore would discredit the validity of the Quran and its author(s). As you are apparently so interested in the historicity of the NT for some strange reason (I don’t know why that would be of any interest to you, as you are a Muslim), then I recommend you to read “Reinventing Jesus: How Contemporary Skeptics, miss the Real Jesus and Mislead Popular Culture”, by J. Ed. Komoszewski; M. James Sawyer and Daniel B. Wallace, published in 2006, by Kregel Publications. You will see from the above book that the general public is being hoodwinked and mislead on a massive scale, about the New Testament, often led by popular characters like Bart Ehrman, who has spent his life trying to justify his backslidden state, and making good money out of misleading young people etc.
@@peaceinjesus5221 the difference between you and me is that when it comes to the NT I listen to the best academic experts on the subject, while, on the other hand, when it comes to the Qur'an, you listen to unqualified and/or bigoted liars. What is also funny is that you claim that the public is being misled by critical scholars of the NT, while in fact the exact opposite is true, namely that the general public still believes that the Gospels are God's word and have absolutely no idea how they came about. My interest in early Christianity as a Muslim is to confirm, through human knowledge, what divine knowledge in the Qur'an already says about it, which is, that Christians have corrupted their religion and gone completely astray, which you are a perfect example of.

Expressing one’s opinion is not a guarantee of being correct! You could be very wrong and in this case, your opinion is not only driven by your prejudice, but it is overtly emotionally defensive! Emotional responses like this, of a defensive nature, have the characteristic of blind panic in response to a perceived threat! It is this that you are presenting to me, in reply. You see an intelligent response to my reply to you, would have been to say: “How interesting, ….I must find this book by Christoff Luxnborg, read it and learn what I can from it, even if at the end of it, I don’t agree with his conclusions”,….but you will note that instead, your own response is: “they are unqualified”….”they are liars”,….”they are bigoted”! Can you see how your response is emotionally driven in a knee jerk defensive response, instead of intelligently considering the matter? Luxenborg is none of these things! The scholars involved in the Jesus Seminar, enjoyed fame for a while, but they created their own criteria, which while having some rational behind it, also had the distinct possibility that it lead them to gross errors! The criteria which they used, was based upon a collection of presumptions and these presumptions derived from their personal position of sceptical scholarship, which denied any possibility of divine interventions or the miraculous, including the possibility of divine prophecies. Therefore in the mind of a Jesus Seminar scholar, there is no such a thing as Prophecy foretelling the future - this to a Jesus Seminar scholar is non existent. Therefore, a Jesus Seminar scholar, looking at your Quran, would completely dismiss it as any kind of ‘revelation’ or having any prophetic foretelling. In their mind, the Quran is relegated to being a product of collective authorship, and they would use criteria in studying it, which would deconstruct it, in the same kind of manner as they tried to deconstruct the Bible. re: “What is also funny is that you claim that the public is being misled by critical scholars of the NT, while in fact the exact opposite is true, namely that the general public still believes that the Gospels are God's word and have absolutely no idea how they came about.” >> There is nothing “funny” about this subject. It is a serious matter! I referred you to a book which addressed this subject. I did not write it. It is written by scholars who have made it their life’s work to study the New Testament manuscripts. They are not amateurs! However, I will tell you what is “funny”….its your reluctance and absolute prejudice in considering any other possibilities and perspectives than your own because you are using these accusations to try to prop up your religion of Islam! ….I can see through this, straight away! I’m very satisfied that the New Testament is an authentic collection of writings inspired by God for my spiritual Birth, Growth and benefit, as it is and has been for millions of other people, since 2000 years ago! There is nothing that is going to change now! I would politely suggest, that unless you have read the book I recommended to you, that you cannot possibly have anything but an unbalanced view generated by sceptical critics of the Bible and God. Any intelligent mind, will read all sides of a subject, in order to discover truth…..NOT JUST THE SIDE HE WANTS TO SUPPORT HIS AGENDA! (this is what you are doing!). re: “My interest in early Christianity as a Muslim is to confirm, through human knowledge, what divine knowledge in the Qur'an already says about it, which is, that Christians have corrupted their religion and gone completely astray, which you are a perfect example of.” >> Firstly as a Muslim, Christian faith, has absolutely nothing to do with you - it is not your business. You have your own religion and if you think that has any truth in it, you should be sticking to your belief in Allah and Mohammed, not criticising someone else’s faith. Secondly, you claim that the Quran has “divine knowledge”, yet fail to intelligently apply a critical approach to the Quran, to see if that is actually true! Let me put it this way for you: If the Quran was truly “a revelation” from God to an Arabic man, in far off Mecca, who had nothing at all to do with the faith of Christians and Jews or their scriptures/writings, you would NOT read anything at all in it, pertaining to either Jewish or Christian religion. You would instead have a book which spoke only to the Arabic and nomadic context of the people receiving the “revelation”, because that is how God speaks. God never reveals himself by going to great lengths to criticise another religion. He may mention criticisms in passing, but that is all. Yet here in the Quran, we cannot read this text, with any other opinion, that it is the work of a man or men, who have constructed an Anti-Christian polemic and Anti-Jewish polemic! An intelligent mind would also be careful to note that the Quran makes absolutely no mention of criticisms of the religion of Aborigines in Australia, or the religion of North American indigenous natives, or of the religion of Eskimos, nor of the religion of Hinduism or Bhuddism! These religions are NOT addressed in the Quran and receive no criticism, because the author of the Quran did not know about these religions, or the people who lived in these far off places!! The reason for this is that the author or authors, were personally acquainted with Jewish and Christian faiths of the surrounding region, but had little or no knowledge of the above people and their religions of far off regions around the world! Yet the peoples on the other side of the world, were just as significant as those in the Near East! The Quran’s author had no knowledge of them!! It is things like this that expose the Quran as a writing which can only have originated from a man or men who wrote only of their own small world, criticising only what they had knowledge of! Since the above, is so apparently the case, your comment: “Christians have corrupted their religion and gone completely astray, which you are a perfect example of”, cannot be taken with any seriousness, when the author of the Quran was so obviously human and not ‘divine’. I’d also add, that I haven’t “corrupted” anything. I am a grateful recipient of God’s grace to me, in which He has mercifully opened the Eternal door of His redemption and salvation. In this, I have received great Joy, wonderful Peace and a love which only comes from the Saviour, Jesus! You should humble yourself at the feet of Jesus and listen to the gospel, which he is the inspirer of and receive the Grace that comes only from Him.
@Blogging Theology You failed to mention that there are two covenants: (1) The Old Covenant spoken by Moses, and (2) The New Covenant spoken by Jesus. The Old Testament long foretold that God would establish a New Covenant: Jeremiah 31:31-34 ³¹ “Behold, the days come,” saith the Lord, “that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah- ³² not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt, My covenant which they broke, although I was a husband unto them,” saith the Lord. ³³ “But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel: After those days,” saith the Lord, “I will put My law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts, and will be their God, and they shall be My people. ³⁴ And they shall teach no more every man his neighbor and every man his brother, saying, ‘Know the Lord.’ For they shall all know Me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them,” saith the Lord, “for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.” The New Testament expounds on Jeremiah 31:31-34. Luke 22:20 Likewise He also took the cup after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in My blood, which is shed for you.” Hebrews 8:8 For finding fault with them, He saith, “Behold, the days come,” saith the Lord, “when I will make a newcovenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah- Hebrews 8:13 In that He saith “a new covenant,” He hath made the first old. Now that which decayeth and waxeth old is ready to vanish away. Hebrews 12:24 and to Jesus the Mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel. You also failed to mention that Jesus Himself predicted the destruction of the Jewish Temple and the exile of the Jews into foreign lands before the return of Christ: Luke 21:24 ²⁴ And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations. And Jerusalem shall be trodden down by the Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled. If there was no contention between the Pharisees of Judaism and the early disciples of Jesus Christ, why then was there so much persecution against the early disciples of Christ? You were also wrong to claim that the apostles viewed James (the half brother of Jesus) as their head. The apostles claimed CHRIST was their head (the head of the church) and that the church was His body (the believers). See Ephesians 1:22-23; 4:15; 5:23; Colossians 1:18; 2:10,19; 1 Corinthians 11:3. And Peter called Paul "our beloved brother" and not "my enemy" anywhere in the New Testament: 2 Peter 3:15-16 ¹⁵ And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation, even as our beloved brother Paul also, according to the wisdom given unto him, hath written unto you, ¹⁶ as also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things. Therein are some things hard to understand, which those who are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other Scriptures, unto their own destruction. Jesus was not "adopted" but always maintained His divinity even from conception: Luke 1:35 And the angel answered and said unto her, “The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee. Therefore also that Holy Being who shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God.” Luke 2:10-11 ¹⁰ And the angel said unto them, “Fear not, for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. ¹¹ For unto you is born this day in the City of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.” This is significant in that the angel Gabriel and the other holy angels called Jesus "holy" and "the Son of God" and "Savior" and "Christ" and "the Lord." Why is this significant? Because the Old Testament says God alone is the Lord and Savior: Isaiah 43:10-11 ¹⁰ “Ye are My witnesses,” saith the Lord, “and My servant whom I have chosen, that ye may know and believe Me, and understand that I am He. Before Me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after Me.¹¹ I, even I, am the Lord, and besides Me there is no savior.” There are two natures in Christ: Divine and human. Jesus called Himself God (Revelation 21:6-7). Jesus called Himself the Almighty (Revelation 1:8). God calls Jesus God (Hebrews 1:8). All of heaven's angels worship Jesus (Hebrews 1:6). Jesus is God. Always has been. Still is. Always will be. You say repeatedly "probably" and "apparently" which shows you are guessing and have no idea what you are talking about. 🙂
@iw21012 Agree brother... 100 % The first Gentile believers in Act's. We're told not to continue, by Peter, and PAUL, SAYING . "WHY PUT A NOOSE AROUND THEIR NECK, THAT WE AND OUR PAST GENERATIONS COULDNT KEEP" !
Jesus did not come to destroy Jewish law. He came to give us a better alternative. If you think you can follow the law than you can do so, but you will fail. As he said, " nonoe is without sin" It's much easier to follow Jesus.
If James was the head of the church, why is it that the church he was head of did not become the predominant church in which the true doctrines of Christianity came to be known? It makes no sense that Christ would allow the congregation holding the truth about Him, to fall into extinction.
It's not surprising that the heretical sect had some beliefs similar to the early church, as Jesus said in John 16;12-15 "I have much more to say to you, more than you can now bear. But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all the truth. He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come." So the very early church was still learning the full truth about many things, and apostles such as Saul, James, Peter etc wrote teachings to bring clarity and knowledge of the truth. Those who rejected these teachings of the Apostles were bound to remain in heresy.
But why was Stephen stoned? Why did Saul (later converted to be Paul) seek to kill early Christians? I don't think your source is looking at the history of Christianity honestly.
Just because he said he saw something.... Means absolutely nothing. Sorry to burst your bubble. Paul is the biggest influence of your church, and he never met Jesus. His whole game was, Jesus told me in a vision. Never met the man. In fact had conflicts with people who did. Sorry not buying it
I have looked at history carefully, and I certainly guarantee you blogging theology has too. If you see his interview of why he became Muslim, it's all based on what he found out about history. Christianity has swept history under the rug. There were centuries the masses in some places (like France and Spain) were not allowed to read the Bible. They use history for their advantage, e.g. the Jews killed Christ let's get them, or forget it to make them feel better about things they did wrong: yeah Christians Jews and Muslims all lived in peace in Spain and Jerusalem for centuries, and yeah we massacred them during the Crusades and did that whole spanish reconquesta thing, but it's the Muslims who are the blood thirsty ones. The truth is this: Jesus not once claimed to be god. And I mean really say that. Being the most important pillar of your faith do you not think that should be stated clearly? No before Abraham was I am, no those who see the father see me. We have a Quran chapter that reads: Say he is God alone, god the eternal. He neither beggets children nor was he begotten and there is absolutely noone that is equivalent to him Absolutely clear, our eternal lives in hell deserve at least that. That one fact, the fact that he never claimed to be god (read any scholarly book from non biased historians) makes Islam 100 times closer to Jesus than Christianity. So yeah, we do look at history, we do see that for millennia god revealed himself as solely one god. He had people who didn't believe that condemned to eternal hellfire, only to come up 2000 years ago and say just kidding! I have a son, oh and a holy spirit. We're all three in one. And I didn't talk about it in the bible, I'll let you guys figure that out. You guys needed councils over centuries to establish your core dogmas, some of whom were headed by, coincidentally, people who believed in demigods. So no my friend, history is absolutely not on your side in this.
Foundational principles are based on the Bible in its entirety. Cherry picking passages to make a point is not the hallmark of a Scholar. Wake up from such ignorance and be consistent.
After reading the whole Bible for 45 years, I can say that the Apostle Paul and James were not really teaching different things. Paul was a staunch believer of the law but was drastically changed when he saw a vision of light and was confronted by the risen Christ on his way to Damascus to persecute Christians. Paul teaches that we are not justified by works of the law but through faith in Jesus Christ (Galatians 2:16). James’s letter had a different focus than Paul’s. His letter focuses on virtues as a consequence of true faith (James 2:18-20). Didn’t James say that whoever keeps the whole law but fails in one point has become accountable for all of it? (James 210). We all know that all have sinned (Romans 3:23). That’s not Paul’s teaching but a truth that we can easily confirm by examining ourselves. As such, if we were to be judged through our works, we will all be subject to judgment. Matthew 5:48 says, “Be perfect as your Heavenly Father is perfect.” Acts 15’s discussion of what should be the rules for the Gentiles in the Jerusalem Council concluded that Gentiles should only abstain from things polluted by idols, from sexual immorality, and from what has been strangled, and from blood (Acts 15:20). The conclusion was based on divine revelation given to Peter in Acts 10 and the testimony of Barnabas and Paul. Peter was more orthodox than Paul but Peter himself wrote that Paul’s teachings were scriptures (2 Peter 3:15-16). The idea that Jesus has divine nature was taught by the apostles. John discussed this more exhaustively because he had the opportunity to ponder on Jesus’s teachings for a longer time and he was blessed to see not only the transfigured Christ but the glorified Christ (Revelation 1). John expressed the eternal nature of Jesus Christ in John 1:1 & 1 John 1:2. Matthew expressed his understanding of Christ’s divinity when he documented the temptation of Christ when Jesus told Satan, “You shall not put the Lord your God to the test.” Satan was tempting Jesus, not the Father (Matthew 4:6), thus, Jesus claimed to be God. In John 8:23-24, Jesus delineated Himself from the rest of humanity by saying, “You are from below; I am from above. You are of this world, I am not of this world. I told you that you would die in your sins if you do not believe that I Am (Greek: Ego Eimi; Hebrew: Ehyeh). That conversation with the Jews ended with the Jews picking up stone to stone Jesus because they understood His claim of deity when He said, “Truly, truly,I say to you, before Abraham was, I Am (Ego Eimi). Ego Eimi is a divine name. It’s God’s revelation of His own nature. Even the writer to the Hebrews declared Jesus’s divinity. In Hebrews 1:3, the writer said that the world was created through the Son. The Son is the radiance of the glory of God and the exact imprint of His nature, and He upholds the universe by the word of His power. In verse 1:8, God called the Son, “God.” In Hebrews 1:10-12, God declared that the Son created the universe and that He will never end. If you believe that the Bible is inspired by God then, you should not divide the Bible into teachings of Paul, Peter, James, John, Luke,etc.. You should refer to it only as the word of God. The Bible teaches a Jesus with two natures: fully divine (John 1:1, Philippians 2:6-11; Mark 14:62; Luke 4:8; Hebrews 1:8, 10-12) and fully human (John 1:14; Philippians 2:7-8; 1 Timothy 2:5). Jesus was eternally God as was described by John in John 1:1 using the imperfect tense with continuous aspect. He became flesh in John 1:14 using the aorist tense indicating that sometime in the past , Jesus put on humanity. Jesus came for one main reason: to die for the sins of the world. The penalty for sin is death. Since all have sinned, no one is qualified to be the propitiation for our sins except for Jesus. In His pre-incarnate state, Jesus could not save us. He could not shed His blood as a Spirit God. Without shedding of blood, there is no forgiveness (Hebrews 9:22). It was decided sometime in eternity that Jesus would suspend His independent use of His divine power and be a man so that He could save us without violating His justice (Philippians 2:5-11; 1 Peter 1:18-20). Jesus issued a promise, “Truly, truly,, I say to you, whoever hears My word and believes Him who sent Me has eternal life. He does not come into judgment, but has passed from death to life.” Can the word of God be any clearer that salvation is through faith in Jesus Christ? Anyone who tries to save himself on his own is doomed because he will not be covered by God’s unmerited favor (Romans 4:2-6; Ephesians 2:4-9). God is just but He is also love. Those two traits were satisfied on the cross. Jesus is coming back. He will either be our judge or our savior. The choice is ours.

@@ahganchi Yet the apostles agreed Paul was an apostle and of the faith, and Paul transformed from a Pharisee persecuting Christians to a Christian under extreme persecution, to his death, himself. You can call it delusion, but its clear that he saw what he saw, and had profound revelation and transformation of his heart through the Holy Spirit, and the apostles agreed he was one of them.
Well said! In addition, St. John of Damascus identified the Ebionites as heretics, since they believed that Christ and the Holy Spirit were created in heaven and that Christ dwelled in Adam as was incarnated as Adam. Clearly, they were not Christian. Paul has also been a dear Saint to all Christians and was in complete agreement with the Apostles and James. As Amorfina said, just read Acts 15.

I'm still hoping that someone would send me "Unity and Diversity by James Dunn (of course in pdf format) I think these book is worthy to read for seeking the history of the first followers of Jesus.
The Qur’an mentions in Surah Al-Araf chapter 7 verse 157: "Those who follow the Messenger, the unlettered Prophet, whom they find mentioned in their own (scriptures) in the law and the Gospel". Prophet Muhammad, prophesised in the Book of Deuteronomy: Almighty God speaks to Moses in Book of Deuteronomy chapter 18 verse 18: "I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee, and I will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him." The Christians say that this prophecy refers to Jesus (pbuh) because Jesus (pbuh) was like Moses (pbuh). Moses (pbuh) was a Jew, as well as Jesus (pbuh) was a Jew. Moses (pbuh) was a Prophet and Jesus (pbuh) was also a Prophet. If these two are the only criteria for this prophecy to be fulfilled, then all the Prophets of the Bible who came after Moses (pbuh) such as Solomon, Isaiah, Ezekiel, Daniel, Hosea, Joel, Malachi, John the Baptist, etc. (pbut) will fulfill this prophecy since all were Jews as well as prophets. However, it is Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) who is like Moses (pbuh): Both had a father and a mother, while Jesus (pbuh) was born miraculously without any male intervention. [Mathew 1:18 and Luke 1:35 and also Al-Qur'an 3:42-47] Both were married and had children. Jesus (pbuh) according to the Bible did not marry nor had children. Both died natural deaths. Jesus (pbuh) has been raised up alive. (4:157-158) Muhammad (pbuh) is from among the brethren of Moses (pbuh). Arabs are brethren of Jews. Abraham (pbuh) had two sons: Ishmail and Isaac (pbut). The Arabs are the descendants of Ishmail (pbuh) and the Jews are the descendants of Isaac (pbuh). Words in the mouth: Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) was unlettered and whatever revelations he received from Almighty God he repeated them verbatim. "I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee, and will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him." [Deuteronomy 18:18] Both besides being Prophets were also kings i.e. they could inflict capital punishment. Jesus (pbuh) said, "My kingdom is not of this world." (John 18:36). Both were accepted as Prophets by their people in their lifetime but Jesus (pbuh) was rejected by his people. John chapter 1 verse 11 states, "He came unto his own, but his own received him not." Both brought new laws and new regulations for their people. Jesus (pbuh) according to the Bible did not bring any new laws. (Mathew 5:17-18). It is Mentioned in the book of Deuteronomy chapter 18:19 "And it shall come to pass, that whosoever will not harken unto my words which he shall speak in my name, I will require it of him." Muhammad (pbuh) is prophesised in the book of Isaiah: It is mentioned in the book of Isaiah chapter 29 verse 12: "And the book is delivered to him that is not learned, saying, Read this, I pray thee: and he saith, I am not learned." When Archangel Gabrail commanded Muhammad (pbuh) by saying Iqra - "Read", he replied, "I am not learned". New Testament Al-Qur'an Chapter 61 Verse 6: "And remember, Jesus, the son of Mary, said, 'O Children of Israel! I am the messenger of Allah (sent) to you, confirming the Law (which came) before me and giving glad tidings of a messenger to come after me, whose name shall be Ahmed.' But when he came to them with clear signs, they said, 'This is evident sorcery!' " All the prophecies mentioned in the Old Testament regarding Muhammad (pbuh) besides applying to the Jews also hold good for the Christians. John chapter 14 verse 16: "And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you forever." Gospel of John chapter 15 verse 26: "But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me." Gospel of John chapter 16 verse 7: "Nevertheless I tell you the truth; it is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you". "Ahmed" or "Muhammad" meaning "the one who praises" or "the praised one" is almost the translation of the Greek word Periclytos. In the Gospel of John 14:16, 15:26, and 16:7. The word 'Comforter' is used in the English translation for the Greek word Paracletos which means advocate or a kind friend rather than a comforter. Paracletos is the warped reading for Periclytos. Jesus (pbuh) actually prophesised Ahmed by name. Even the Greek word Paraclete refers to the Prophet (pbuh) who is a mercy for all creatures. Some Christians say that the Comforter mentioned in these prophecies refers to the Holy Sprit. They fail to realise that the prophecy clearly says that only if Jesus (pbuh) departs will the Comforter come. The Bible states that the Holy Spirit was already present on earth before and during the time of Jesus (pbuh), in the womb of Elizabeth, and again when Jesus (pbuh) was being baptised, etc. Hence this prophecy refers to none other than Prophet Muhammad (pbuh). Gospel of John chapter 16 verse 12-14: "I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now. Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth is come, he will guide you unto all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come. He shall glorify me". The Sprit of Truth, spoken about in this prophecy refers to none other than Prophet Muhammad (pbuh .....
Having a mother and father are not the exclusive qualities of a prophet but of all humans. The important qualities of a prophet like Moses that was shared by Jesus is they both performed great miracles. Jesus and Moses also came as liberators of God's people, Israel, and establishing a covenant between them and their God. The Allah of the Quran is never referred to as YHWH, the God of Israel. Therefore Muhammed is NOT the prophet like Moses mentioned in Deuteronomy 18:18.
@@AllaahuAkbar60 For god so loved the world that he sent his only begotten son jesus christ to this world to die for our sins on the cross.Whoever believes in him shall not die but live an everlasting life(John 3:14)
Blogging theology: I listened to your commentary on this matter. I can understand how the Jews continued with their temple practices and their religion even after receiving Jesus as their Messiah. We have to understand how God used Jesus’s murder in a surprising way for the Jews such that they had no idea of this New covenant, and a transition which Paul brought after his revelation, started what christianity is all about. Contrary to what many believed then and now, Paul did not abolish the Law but replaced it with a New way to receive true acceptance and righteousness by God apart from doing what the Law requires. Those who put Paul against the Law do not understand christianity. Just as Jesus said “ I did not come to abolish the Law but to fulfill it”, Paul actually implemented Jesus’s statement. Faith in the work of Jesus on the cross , and believe in his resurrection is what God requires us to do to become part of the New covenant in Jesus’s blood. Jesus promised the Spirit in John 7:38, John explains the coming of the Spirit as being the source of life and the necessity for Jesus to die on the cross and be resurrected for this to happen. The righteousness as Paul states in Galatians and Romans, does not come from the Law because the only way to attain that righteousness is by the Spirit of God and it takes faith according to the New Covenant to receive the Spirit. Love is the consequence of that New Covenant, and this Love can only come from God, and as the Scripture say, Love fulfills the whole Law. Just as God in the Old Testament promised Israel to give them a new heart, faith is the vehicle to receive that new heart because as Paul says, no one is justified by the works of the Law because by the Law we receive the knowledge of sin, only faith can justify us before God, or make us righteous before God.
Excellent, and perfectly said. JESUS is the way the truth and the life and no one can come to the father but by Him. If this is not so then he is a lying prophet and all of humanity is dead in their sin. But praise Almighty God that Jesus who now sits at the right of God is the perfect sacrificial lamb. This is the good news, and Gift out of pure love to human kind and unlike the religions of the world who would love to hate and kill you for beleiving the truth God gives you a choice to choose His Gift or reject it. In that way He allows us to choose for yourself between everlasting life in Jesus Christ or eternal separation but advises to choose life. The flesh prefers dead religion like Islam, catholicism, churchianity etc. These are simply blind mans attempt to save himself which is like unto a blind man trying to give himself sight in order to pick his way through a dense forest. They are all darkness arrogently posing as light. The whole point of the law is to show us how impossibly lost and hopless our situation is. Only God can save us byJesus Christ and through the mighty power of His holy spirit working in us and enabling us, empowering us to change from the inside outwards so that we too, like Jesus can walk in the newness of life. This is the botom line and arguing in your head about whether paul was right or james was right and going to scholarship to push your particular false religion perspective is absolutely futile. Jesus is the way the truth and the life and no one can/ is able to come to the Father but by JESUS. The popes and mohommad who murdered millions of people in order to force them to follow false religion will have to bow before Jesus and repent. They and every living thing and entity in heaven on earth and below earth will have to acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God the Father. Its as simple and complicated as that.
Paul had a clear vision of Christianity however, Some of the Jewish Christians doubted matt 28:17. James, a leader was trying to balance Paul extremity(radical change) and pharisee party as Paul describe them These party believe in the mixture of Jesus and law of the temple. Old habit hardly die! Later some these pharisee doubts became heretical view
@@marioserafin3177 That's the truth. That's why Christ utterly destroyed the Temple and sacrificial priesthood and the ceremonial laws all in one moment of time in 70 ad. All foretold by the prophets and God,s law of blessing and cursing.
@@goodman4093 Paul along with Jesus were very much misunderstood from the beginning. The ministry of the twelve started at Pentecost as they received power from above. They preached Jesus to be the Messiah and for the Jews and the rest of the Israelites to believe in him. We do not know if the apostles understood Paul, we do not have any solid data to know what the twelve actually believed concerning the New Covenant which superseded the Old. No one could have thought that they actually killed their own Messiah, and that God used that murder to free them from the Old Law. Paul understood this change.
It is hardly conceivable that the intimate followers, disciples of Jesus should have been unaware of a new covenant and that a man who never had encountered Jesus ans who never had been interested in his life and in his sayings sbould have hade the "true way"! Paul did everything to abolish the law and was in constant struggle with the "circumcised"

Ironic that you're name is Paul, while referencing how "Paul" had nothing to do with original Christianity. However what seems strange is that apparently Ebionites were vegetarians and hated animal sacrifices, also in their gospel. How then could the temple be central to them if they hated the sacrificial system and the eating of meat?
Hmmm... the video stopped in mid-sentence. Excellent presentation of the information, and just a FYI, I just ordered the referenced book, and I am looking forward to reading it.

Wow, this is very interesting - the conflict between Peter and Paul is something I've not heard of much at all. I've heard of some strife between them but nothing as strongly worded as what you just said. I see you have another video that expounds on this so I"m going to watch that!
Your church covered it up. It is all over the NT. They called each other liars, deceivers, and false apostles. There are 2 gospels. Paul is a Gnostic writing on 2 levels…. Both Literally and allegorically.
@@ffun1042 You have no idea what you're talking about. Paul called out Peter for avoiding gentiles and Peter called Paul's writings "sometimes difficult to understand", that's it.
Paul's writings were misunderstood by many of the early church but eventually it is noted in Acts 21:24 that Paul himself, despite his hard to understand writings, also kept the law.
Great video again, Paul! You are easily one of the best speakers out there! Quick question; can a Jew, Christian or any other person practicing a monotheistic religion, be a Muslim by definition - if they believe in one God, Allah and believe that Muhammad (pbuh) is His prophet and messenger - but still also carry on practicing their own monotheistic religions? For example, did any Jews or Christians during Prophet Muhammad’s (pbuh) time, accept Islam but still also practice their own monotheistic religions? Many thanks.
If you believe that Mohammed PBUH is the prophet and messenger of God then you must also believe that The Quran is the Book of Revelations sent by God through him without any errors. Once you believe these two aspects then you are a Muslim. Because the Quran tells you to believe in the unity of God, His angels and His prophets/messengers like Adam, Noah, Lut, Abraham, Isaac, Ishmael, John, Moses, Jesus and Mohammed, peace be upon them all.
@@truthseeker9945Once you believe that Mohammed is the messenger of Allah and Jesus is also the messenger of Allah then you're a Muslim. Once you are a Muslim then you follow the Quran and the actions and sayings of Prophet Mohammed PBUH because in the Quran its mentioned that you follow your prophet Mohammed. There are some teachings in Jews and Christians which clash with teachings in Islam like we Muslims believe Jesus PBUH to be a mighty messenger of Allah, that he was born of a virgin mother Mary; that he was a messiah, that he was not killed nor crucified and he ascended to Allah and that he will come back again. Also there are other tenets of faith like prayers, feasting, zakat (fasting), etc. But these are minor things which you can adept later on. Once you reconcile these things then you are a Muslim. You don't need to be a Jew or Christian because Quran is the complete book of Allah in the original language Arabic and its been preserved for ever. Of course we believe that Allah sent other scriptures like Psalms of David, the Torah and Gospel but we believe that they are corrupted.
Muslim means one who submits to the will of the Creator; not a member of the religion announced by the last Messenger, for the Quran would not call earlier patriarchs and messengers as muslims otherwise. Non-muslim "proselytizers" exploit this non-English word to their advantage makin use of others' ignorance of the meaning of the word. So, who is not a muslim from a dialectical perspective? I think the verses starting from the 4th all the way to the last verse of Alaq clearly define who is not a muslim. They are worth reading again and again and pondering about the idea they convey. It is also very interesting from a chronological perspective since Alaq is the first to be revealed to the last Messenger.
The core of Christian belief is the gospel, the "good news " that, in the sufficient, substitutionary, vicarious and free self sacrifice of Christ, the creative, sustaining and redeeming Son and word of God who, as the reality of God, can forgive sin in his divine nature, and has done so , once for all effective through faith. No orthodox Jew or Christian could accept Mohammed as the Messiah, or the Quran as the word of God. As a Christian. I hold with full assurance that I am saved by faith in the God/man Christ Jesus or that I.sm called to do the will of God as the only appropriate RESPONSE to God's grace. This is the final fulfillment of God:s covenant - the promise of God to take a people to.be his own and to be their God. I cannot accept any teaching that denies the divinity of Christ and his saving initiative. Consequently, no Jew or Christian could ever be a Muslim. This does not mean that I have any lack of respect for the sincerely held beliefs of Islam or those who accept them. However those beliefs are incompatible with the teachings of Judaism and Christianity - which are much more closely related than most realise. I ask you to respect my beliefs, as I do yours.
This is why it’s so important that Christians read the scriptures, and not be led astray. In the Gospels, Jesus claims to be God, not just some virtuous man. The very reason he was hung on the cross. Also, it’s no secret that there was strife between Paul and Peter, it’s actually documented in the book of Acts.
@@Saltyjman That is a mistranslation of Jesus' words, and "I am" is not a name, it's a simple statement. If I tell you that I am hungry, I am not invoking some claim to divinity, nor if you talk about this Michael on TH-cam, and I say in koine Greek "ego eimi" which means I am/I am him/that is me, I am still not claiming to be God, I am claiming to be that Michael from TH-cam, and even though Michael means "who is like God" I am not claiming to be he who is like God either. "Before Abraham came to be" is a more accurate translation, now when did Abraham come to be? This requires understanding of the scriptures, Abraham came to be when Abram made a covenant with God and became Abraham. Jesus was saying that even before the Abrahamic covenant, he was who he is, which is an allusion to the fact that the priesthood of Jesus is greater than that of the Levites, because Jesus is high priest according to the order of Melchizedek. If I said that even before I was conceived, I was who I am, that doesn't mean I actually pre-existed, it simply means that God planned my life long before I came into the world, and I was always meant to be who I am now. God isn't "the great I am," no one is, because that's not something anyone can be. God is the one who is, that's what he said to Moses, aka he is the one true God, as opposed to all the other gods, he is the one who actually exists. God then announced his name to be whatever the original pronunciation of the tetragrammaton was. Jesus is not called directly by that name, but rather by a derivative of that name, which is the same name that was given to the son of Nun, Jesus or Joshua, however you prefer to say it, Jesus Christ or Joshua the Messiah.
i've read all these texts decades ago at that time i was probably an ebionite catholic planning to join the carmelites order i forgot whether the ebionite gospel had any mention about the antinomian wine & blood drinking ritual which suspiciously might have been assimilated (by paul?) from the greco-roman dionysian ritual along with their firstborn baby sacrifice ritual
Also the very term "the earliest Christians were Jews" Is problematic on a fundamental linguistic etymological level. Just as Isa never uttered the words "Christ" or "Christian" or "Christianity" because these anglicised terms simply did not exist at the time of Isa hence he never uttered them) just as he never uttered the words God or deus or logos etc) But similarly moses. David Solomon and all the prophets sent to bani Israel never uttered the words jew Jewish judah Judaism etc simply because they didn't exist. So the religion of moses et al until Isa was never described or named by the above terms, there simply was no "Judaism" there is no letter J in Hebrew! These are all anglicised terms originating after 1100s in Europe. The yahood (Jews) who settled in and around Yathrib (Madinah) centuries prior to the prophets pbuh migration to Madinah never called themselves "Jews" One simply doesn't call oneself by a word that doesn't exist in one's language!
Yehuda is the hebrew word for Judah, right? So Yehudi is the hebrew word for the inhabitants/descendant of Judah (the 4th son of Jacob). So Yehudi already existed back then. Yehudi or Jew, same difference. Jew is just the translation…🤷🏻♀️

I'm going to get that book. Ironically, I think it might explain some things I'm seeing in Eastern Orthodoxy, and why part of the Ancient Church Fathers, even if not the Ebionite extreme, might have pushed Paul to the wayside. It's just rather strange how absent Pauline doctrine is in early Christianity, as if it didn't even exist, although we know Paul's works were considered authentic even before the canon was completely established. Some of Paul's statements about justification and a more juridical concept of salvation are so clear in his writings, yet you really find little of this in Eastern Orthodoxy, which seems to have more of a Jewish ontological metaphor for salvation. I now wonder how much of Paul was in the earliest lectionaries.
The Early followers and disciples of the Messiah, including Paul (Shaul) were called followers of THE WAY, a Sect called Natzarim (Nazarenes, נוצרים). They were not Ebionites, Ebionites were a different group. Paul (Shaul) did not teach the Torah was done away. Hellenized "Christians" have twisted Paul's letters into lawlessness just as Peter warned would happen; 2 Peter 3:15 "and reckon the patience of our ADON as deliverance, as also our beloved brother Sha’ul wrote to you, according to the wisdom given to him," 16 "as also in all his letters, speaking in them concerning these matters, in which some are hard to understand, which those who are untaught and unstable twist to their own destruction, as they do also the other Scriptures." 3:17 "You, then, beloved ones, being forewarned, watch, lest you also fall from your own steadfastness, being led away with the delusion of the lawlessness. " Paul was teaching that we are saved by FAITH but that we don't do away with the Torah because of FAITH, We ESTABLISH THE TORAH. Romans 3:31 "Do we then nullify the Torah through the Faith? Let it not be! On the contrary, WE ESTABLISH THE TORAH." Romans 8:4 "so that the righteousness of the Torah should be completed in us who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit." Romans 13:8 "Owe no one any matter except to love one another, for he who loves another has filled the Torah." 13:10 :"Love does no evil to a neighbour. Therefore, love is completion of the Torah." Paul says the Fruit of the Spirit is LOVE, and that LOVE is the fulfilling of the TORAH. But Hellenized Yahudim (Jews) and Greeks did not understand Paul because they were unlearned in the Torah. Paul was explaining His message against the teachings of Yahudim (Jews) saying your saved only by keeping Torah. Yet they never showed LOVE for other, only themselves. Which the Messiah explains in the 4 Gospels. Paul is explaining that we are saved by FAITH, not of works. The thing is Hellenized Greeks and Jews belief (faith) is not an action word like in Hebrew. Faith in Hebrew is to believe and obey. So true FAITH will produce works of obedience.
2:30 Well Jesus expressly says he has not come to abolish the law but to fulfill it. Not sure what your surprise is about, it's right there in the Gospels.
If James was the head of the church, why is it that the church he was head of did not become the predominant church in which the true doctrines of Christianity came to be known? It makes no sense that Christ would allow the congregation holding the truth about Him, to fall into extinction.
I believe .. this book is interesting Keep going Mr Williams ... I gain many benefits from your videos Thanks ... May Allah bless you and guide all of us to straighting path
Islam came around 600 years after the resurection of YAHUSHA (JESUS). have YAHUSHA as the only begotten son of The living God and accept HIM as saviour and obey the laws and commandments of God.

I am grateful for revealing with clarity the beliefs of the earliest church, lead by James - Jesus’ bother who was appointed head of this community by Jesus. I believe this group and the Ebionites are the best and true picture of what Jesus taught and believe. What we call the Christian church seemed to have adopted creeds that on most points contradict this group and follow Paul. That means the Ebionites have Jesus’ gospel and the church has Paul’s gospel.
The temple is not built for sacrifice, it is built to be a dwelling place for God. Sacrifice was was only done on the outer alter. In the tent, there is the golden table of showbread, the incense alter and the menorah. And of course inside the tent is the holy of holies which had the ark of the covenant where God would manefest between the cherubim.
Thank you, Sir, for such a thought provoking clip. I found this fascinating. So there were the Naserians? There were the Ebionites? I ask myself brother Paul, Did they have with them any holy books - Gospels, or Sayings of Jesus? How come there are ONLY 4 Gospels? When were they canonized? Is there a surviving Historical record as to how ONLY these 4 Gospels were chosen as true and so canonical. A lot of Questions. I would love ❤️ you to address these somewhere, sometime. May God Bless you Brother Paul and your loved ones. Ta!
@seek mogol When I was 5 Years I believe God can are all what he will. But then I read the Old Testament and New Testament. In the Old Testament God give a promise that nobody will seen him before they died. And the Old Testament says that nobody must make image of God ! All the Real Prophets of God haven’t seen God. Moses spoke to God with the burning Bush between them. He ( Moses ) don’t saw God ! 👀😉 To protect Moses-he have died !!! New Testament, says Jesus Christ that the One Real God is in heaven. He never claimed I’m God and worship me. I believe in God and I believe in a Prophet Jesus Christ, without Divinity of Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ prayed with his forehead in the ground ( like the Muslims ). Christianity know this only from Yoga or gymnastic. That he wouldn’t die !!! To God Almighty. Must a God prayed in this art to God or a Prophet of God !??? Can a God died !??? 😂 When your One God died, where resurrected ( Jesus Christ ) according to you from death ? Was this Satan or the Pope !? Where hold the Universum and the World alive - in the 3 Nights and 2 Days - when your One God was Death ❗️❓👀😂😂😂❓ Christianity Doktrin Jesus Christ must as a God died to pay with his 🔥Suizid 🔥 on the Cross the Price for the Origin Sin, for the Christians. Suizid- Hellfire forever. How many Gods needs the Christianity to become the One God of Abraham !? Christianity with a Divine Jesus Christ make not sense ( logically ) ! Why ? God give his promise that he are One !!! He have not a Women or a Son. And is against he Majestic Nature to lie or contradict His Promise. This is that. He haven’t a beginning or a Ending. This meant : He can’t died ❗️ Jesus Christ have a beginning and a Ending ❗️ He was born ( and will died ). The best part is Jesus Christ self, prayed to his God - Christianity prays to Jesus Christ !!! Conclusion: Jesus Christ God is not the God of Christianity, they pray to Jesus Christ as a God ! 3 Fingers aren’t never 1 finger-like your father are not your mother.
I am a new subscriber and really likes what you are doing with your channel. I have studied these matters for several decades and have become increasingly convinced that, we can not know nearly anything with certainty. Because of this reality, we can completely loosen our grip on our dogmas, theologies and even our chosen religion and begin to embrace our humanity, loving others not from fear of retribution from an "all powerful" deity or because a savior figure said we are to, but because knowing who we are as humans, being products of the same light and dark matter that makes up all the universe have the authority, privilege, right and responsibility to act from our purest self, for our own sake and the sake of all humanity.
Francis I respect your philosophy but at the end of the day if there is a real faith to God we can't substitute with personal philosophy. Think about this: with all the warning in bible, Quran about bad deeds, with all the court of laws and prosecutions and jails people still do atrocity so imagine if everyone abandon the law and the good teachings!! The question that is relevant is, is there an after life, to know that Islam show you a very easy to verify if it is the right faith or not, "My creator if you exist please guide me to your path, amin" if it is said to the Creator alone (not idol) and with sincerity (meaning putting finding God's path above what family, friends, job, colleague would say) you are guaranteed to be answer in various way, either clear vivid vision (while sleep), and or coincidences in your daily life that you can't collectively attribute to coincidence, and or finding a compelling desire to research Islam etc.. so it is easy to verify the truth, here is one of many promises that you will be answered (if you are sincere) The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, "Allah Almighty says: Whoever comes with a good deed will have the reward of ten like it and even more. Whoever comes with an evil deed will be recompensed for one evil deed like it or he will be forgiven. Whoever draws close to me by the length of a hand, I will draw close to him by the length of an arm. Whoever draws close to me by the length of an arm, I will draw close to him by the length of a fathom. Whoever comes to me walking, I will come to him running. And whoever meets me with enough sins to fill the earth, not associating any idols with me, I will meet him with as much forgiveness as possible. " Muslim 2687. test that with the prayer and you will be answered, could it be easier than that, Francis? Nice day
Great video brother! Once again you spoke nothing but truth..... And the Qur'an confirms this as well, when it speaks of the jews, it simply says Jews. But when it speaks of Christians, Allah says the Nasara (those who call themselves Christians) which shows that's a title they gave themselves! Mashallah! Alhumdillah!
God has asked me to expose lies/deceptions. Paul whether by quote or otherwise did not speak the truth. If you read the scripture in context you will understand why this comment has been made to you. I am Christian. And yes we weren't always called Christians. We were first just called believers and then at Antioch Christians(english equivalent) Acts 11:26. Archaeology is not subjective Steven Chaffin. History written by modern historians however might at times be. I hate reading things that go against my narrative personally but truth is truth. Some of the early christians did have beliefs diametrically opposed to what our beliefs are today. But the leaders of the Church had the same beliefs we have today Steven Chaffin. The leaders who were the apostles were the ones to teach new converts the way, Jesus is mentioned as stating as much at Matthew 28:16-20. Remember any child must be taught first. The child of himself does not know the way initially. Left to oneself we default to what we knew before and think is true even though our newly accepted beliefs ultimately require change to a new default. I am certain that the comment you made is false in part wrt the video. Forgive my abruptness!
@@teachmetheway7081 I don't see your comment as abrupt! You believe what you believe and that's understandable. But I only can speak from what the Qur'an says which is no doubt from Allah! It is fact that Jesus(pbuh) didn't bring a new religion nor named his teachings Christianity, nor did he ever say worship me, nor did he say he was God. I know due to your belief, I was a Christian before, but in the end it makes no sense at all, there will always be a hole of depression in your life. Christians don't know how to pray, most don't follow the teachings of Jesus(pbuh), most eat pork, are not circumcised, only worship one day out of the week, changed the Sabbath to the first day of the week. Take America for an example Christian country... Aborts millions of children every year, highest crime rate in the world, highest divorce rate, basically a country full of single mothers, men have been feminized. This is due to lack of fear for Allah, and disbelief in your scripture! If people think Jesus(pbuh) died for there sins, you get choas! I know you've heard Christians say there saved, as if there work on earth is completed and it's a guarantee that their going to heaven. Why would someone thinking this not do as thou wilt? Christians drink the blood of christ and eats his flesh during the first Sunday of the month, and you don't see anything wrong with that? That's sounds satanic! And the fact is Jesus(pbuh) spoke Aramaic hebrew, and even today Aramaic Christians call the only God worthy of worship Allahu. They even pray similar to Jews and Muslims. I only want you to see the truth, and its only from Allah, not Paul! Alhamdulillah
@@stevenchaffin3376 I don't see your comment as abrupt! - Great You believe what you believe and that's understandable. -Thanks But I only can speak from what the Qur'an says (Agreed) which is no doubt from Allah (True)! It is fact that Jesus(pbuh) didn't bring a new religion (True) nor named his teachings Christianity (True), nor did he ever say worship me(Basically TRUE), nor did he say he was God.(technically very TRUE) I know due to your belief, I was a Christian before, but in the end it makes no sense at all( true and false at same time you can say), there will always be a hole of depression in your life(TRUE). Christians don't know how to pray(True), most don't follow the teachings of Jesus(pbuh)(True. they follow as they have been led generally), most eat pork(Nah, not sure bout that one), are not circumcised(Not sure bout that one either and don’t intend to investigate either), only worship one day out of the week(NAH WRONG WRONG WRONG), changed the Sabbath to the first day of the week.(NAH NOT TRUE WHATSOEVER) Some of my above responses are subject to change but i am surprised (and not being facetious) at your general level of correctness on most of the points granted you were a Christian. I am breaking this response into two parts for better organization and management of my response to you.
@Faisal Siraj Thanks for the response Faisal. I will respond hopefully within 48 hours or less. Need to rest a bit. Do feel free to add to your comment here. i am interested to see your development of certain points.
Many thanks for your work and efforts. Really appreciated. A fountain worth drinking from, a great fountain. I feel so lucky for having found you. Best wishes from Spain. 😘
@Irish Guy The guy in the video failed to mention that there are two covenants: (1) The Old Covenant spoken by Moses, and (2) The New Covenant spoken by Jesus. The Old Testament long foretold that God would establish a New Covenant: Jeremiah 31:31-34 ³¹ “Behold, the days come,” saith the Lord, “that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah- ³² not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt, My covenant which they broke, although I was a husband unto them,” saith the Lord. ³³ “But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel: After those days,” saith the Lord, “I will put My law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts, and will be their God, and they shall be My people. ³⁴ And they shall teach no more every man his neighbor and every man his brother, saying, ‘Know the Lord.’ For they shall all know Me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them,” saith the Lord, “for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.” The New Testament expounds on Jeremiah 31:31-34. Luke 22:20 Likewise He also took the cup after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in My blood, which is shed for you.” Hebrews 8:8 For finding fault with them, He saith, “Behold, the days come,” saith the Lord, “when I will make a newcovenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah- Hebrews 8:13 In that He saith “a new covenant,” He hath made the first old. Now that which decayeth and waxeth old is ready to vanish away. Hebrews 12:24 and to Jesus the Mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel. The guy in the video also failed to mention that Jesus Himself predicted the destruction of the Jewish Temple and the exile of the Jews into foreign lands before the return of Christ: Luke 21:24 ²⁴ And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations. And Jerusalem shall be trodden down by the Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled. If there was no contention between the Pharisees of Judaism and the early disciples of Jesus Christ, why then was there so much persecution against the early disciples of Christ? The guy in the video was also wrong to claim that the apostles viewed James (the half brother of Jesus) as their head. The apostles claimed CHRIST was their head (the head of the church) and that the church was His body (the believers). See Ephesians 1:22-23; 4:15; 5:23; Colossians 1:18; 2:10,19; 1 Corinthians 11:3. And Peter called Paul "our beloved brother" and not "my enemy" anywhere in the New Testament: 2 Peter 3:15-16 ¹⁵ And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation, even as our beloved brother Paul also, according to the wisdom given unto him, hath written unto you, ¹⁶ as also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things. Therein are some things hard to understand, which those who are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other Scriptures, unto their own destruction. Jesus was not "adopted" but always maintained His divinity even from conception: Luke 1:35 And the angel answered and said unto her, “The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee. Therefore also that Holy Being who shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God.” Luke 2:10-11 ¹⁰ And the angel said unto them, “Fear not, for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. ¹¹ For unto you is born this day in the City of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.” This is significant in that the angel Gabriel and the other holy angels called Jesus "holy" and "the Son of God" and "Savior" and "Christ" and "the Lord." Why is this significant? Because the Old Testament says God alone is the Lord and Savior: Isaiah 43:10-11 ¹⁰ “Ye are My witnesses,” saith the Lord, “and My servant whom I have chosen, that ye may know and believe Me, and understand that I am He. Before Me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after Me.¹¹ I, even I, am the Lord, and besides Me there is no savior.” There are two natures in Christ: Divine and human. Jesus called Himself God (Revelation 21:6-7). Jesus called Himself the Almighty (Revelation 1:8). God calls Jesus God (Hebrews 1:8). All of heaven's angels worship Jesus (Hebrews 1:6). Jesus is God. Always has been. Still is. Always will be. The old guy in the video says repeatedly "probably" and "apparently" which shows he is guessing and has no idea what he is talking about. 🙂

Interesting info. The info itself matches exactly what I have found in early Christianity, however, my conclusions are distinctly different. I’d call it a tale of two churches, one stuck in a wannabe Levitical hierarchy under the influence and leadership of James and the other church that was growing into the Melchizedek priesthood that Christ taught his disciples but they were too stuck in Pharisaical Judaism to see clearly. The results speak for themselves. The Jerusalem church played church and became irrelevant to the community and world at large, the Pauline church turned the world upside down.
@@ggductor1511 any particular documents I should be studying? I’m assuming you’re referring to something besides the New Testament, that sheds more light on the Jerusalem church.

@@josephseneca4090 My perspective is that James was the head of the church at Jerusalem. I see this as distinctly different than being the head of the church ie all Christianity. As to why it fell into anonymity, my guess is because James was trying to be seeker friendly with the Jews, or trying to merge Pharisaical Judaism with Christianity, something that is actually antithetical to the church Jesus established. This is why Paul was so adamant that his primary concern was if they preached Christ crucified. Crucifixion was an idea that demanded a Jew to go against all of their cultural values and follow Christ even if it cost them their tie to Judaism. This was something that James does not appear to be able to understand, and something that Paul embraced. I believe that history recorded which theology Christ blessed.
The book of Acts indeed states clearly that at first, the Christians held on to many of their Jewish rites. Then, God revealed to Peter that no food was unclean. Paul had to remind him if that later on. By the end of Acts, the Christians who authored the NT texts no longer held the Jewish rites as necessary. Luke recorded all of this himself in Acts. He also wrote that Paul was considered by the disciples to be a true apostle, just as they were. It's all in that one book.
then why did orthodox byzantine church ban swine flesh and wine? wine was to be used in baptism cermonies only. your latin translation is a lie and propaganda
My dear friend there’s massive big confusion between Israelite as a nation and the Jews as religious communities In the time of Moses Aron David Salomon there were no Jews However Jesus was sent to the Israelite and part of the Israelite followed Jesus and become what we call now Christian and on other group followed the Rabbis authorities who now called Jews
I heard somewhere that Quran general term before coming of Jesus was Bani Israil. After coming of Jesus then Quran use 2 terms for Bani Israil ( Nasara and Jew).
I’ve been wondering how Jewish Christians practiced their faith for three years. Thank you for answering this for me. I think that persecution and Paul preaching to gentiles slowly changed it and spread Christianity around the world.
Assalamualaikum Paul… wish you all the best…can you please discuss about zakat, seems to me it shift to philanthropy instead of purifying heart.. waalaikumsalam from Indonesia🙏🏻
The best example that I can think in terms of Judaism today is one that is potentially divisive among Jews, so I try to be careful with it. That example is that of a Jewish Chassidic group called Chabad, that claimed that their Rebbe (Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson, of blessed memory) at the time was the Messiah. This view did not disappear when he passed a few years later (1994), and they have their own arguments to support their claim. While most Orthodox Jews have great reverence for the Rebbe, aside from segments of Chabad, they do not see him as the Messiah. While Chabad is sort of a stand-alone group within Orthodoxy their relationship with the rest of Orthodoxy is generally okay, and their writings are rather popular among non-Chabad Jews, while some leaders have publicly voiced concern/opposition over their Messianic stances.

Omer Yousif - bro the teachings these people follow are the deviant teachings of Paul. The pagan who never met Jesus but made Jesus into God in the form of man. Modern day Christianity is basically 100% Paulinity.
This Paul changed the teachings of Jesus Christ ! He was a false Apostel /Prophet - he is the real founder of Christianity ( Paulinismus ) ! They believe in 3 Gods !!! Trinity God - God the father Jesus Christ- Son of God Holy Spirit - ( Angel Gabriel 😂) All three personalities are They’re 3-1 Gods, in the same time ! Christianity isn’t monotheistic ❗️ Only Islam is the real and 1 accepted religion for all Mankind from God !
Basiclly it's like MLM scamming where the reward are good to be true ...just believe then your salvation are guaranteed, bring new convert then you get a reward bonus

@@cervezaway7049 Islam = Religion of the 124K Prophets and 313 Messengers
The only religion of God is the Oness of God and rejection of Polytheism
@@cervezaway7049 which part of god would then be dependent upon the other parts? Don’t you see the inconsistency and irrationality?
God in nature cannot be divided, because which parts are then dependent upon the other parts? That way of thinking makes god dependent upon some other part of himself. One of the definitions of God himself is independence. It is in Gods nature to be free from anything and everything in existence.
Also God is the necessary being and is unique and cannot be anything like his creation. It goes against the nature of God to be anything like His creation.
In addition the gentleman in the video gave you proof that your belief that you hold that Jesus (peace be upon him) was God himself, and the literal son of God is blasphemy according to the ORIGINAL CHRISTIANS. According to the literal followers of Jesus (peace be upon him) who saw him, ate with, lived with him and learned directly from him Paul was seen as a blasphemer and apostate.
Let that last paragraph sink in. This is not my or your opinion. This is the opinion of the TRUE Christians who were the TRUE followers of Jesus (peace be upon him) who saw him, followed him and learned directly from him. Paul on the other side went against if not all overwhelmingly majority of Jesus (peace be upon him) teaching like calling him the one true God, and the literal son of God.. Paul also NEVER met Jesus (peace be upon him). Let that also sink in.
Paul was seen as THE enemy by the true followers of Jesus (peace be upon him), and as an apostate.
I hope you see the inconsistency and irrationality of following Paul’s teachings which are AGAINST Jesus’s (peace be upon him) teaching.
If you truly love Jesus you follow his teachings and NOT Paul’s teachings, and you follow exactly what the apostles and James did. NOT Paul the apostate and blasphemer.
I don’t understand how you can keep the same opinion as Paul when he was seen as an apostate and THE enemy by the apostles and the original followers of Jesus (peace be upon him), like for example his brother James who was the Head leader of council of Jerusalem..
If you have watched this whole video and understood it, and yet still keep the same opinions as the apostate Paul who most Christians today believe in and follow, then you simply are proving yourself that you base your opinions on emotions and not rationality and evidences.
This means any argument you will put forward will be irrational and inconsistent of truth because you yourself deny the proof and evidences that the early ORIGINAL TRUE CHRISTIANS AND FOLLOWERS OF JESUS (peace be upon him) DENIED Paul and called him THE ENEMY of their FAITH.
Read all of this again carefully and let it sink in.
I will not respond any further because you have proved that you base your opinions on emotions rather than evidences and rationality and you will continue to do so.
Have a nice day.

If James was the head of the church, why is it that the church he was head of did not become the predominant church in which the true doctrines of Christianity came to be known? It makes no sense that Christ would allow the congregation holding the truth about Him, to fall into extinction.

Jesus never mentioned or went to the Kaaba.
Jesus never went to or mentioned a mosque.
Jesus never mentioned or went to Mecca.
Jesus never mentioned or participated in Islamic observances like Ramadan.
Jesus never mentioned a buraq.
Jesus never mentioned Muhammad.
Jesus never mentioned a Quran.
Jesus never mentioned or identified Himself as a Muslim.
Instead...
Jesus went to the Jewish Temple regularly.
Jesus went to Jewish synagogues regularly.
Jesus went to Jerusalem regularly.
Jesus observed and participated in Jewish holidays like Passover.
Jesus spoke about the Holy Ghost. (Muhammad was unholy and a wicked man.)
Jesus identified Himself as a Jew. (Read His conversation with the Samaritan woman at the well in the Gospel of John.)
Jesus had disciples, not slaves like Muhammad did.
Jesus gave life, not murder like Muhammad did.
Nope. Jesus was not a Muslim. 🙂
As a Christian, I don't think of my faith as 'separate' from the earliest Jewish believers. If anything, whenever I think of the church, this is my first image of what 'church' is, the ecclesia who were in the first instance 'called out' Jewish believers in Yeshua as Messiah. I believe there are many Christians, probably far more than presumed, that identify with the church as written in the New Testament, beginning with the disciples. I don't think this should be any surprise to anyone. At 5:56, Paul in his video, departs from scriptural evidence and asserts his assumption that the earliest believers "didn't believe that Jesus died for their sins" - here Paul is simply departing from the scriptural evidence to assert his own desires, because the scripture tells us the opposite in 1 Corinthians 15:3-7 "For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received: *that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures,* 4 that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures, 5 and that he appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve. 6 Then he appeared to more than five hundred brothers at one time, most of whom are still alive, though some have fallen asleep. 7 Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles." - Paul having received this from Peter the disciple and James the brother of Jesus.
By Paul asserting his own Islamic bias, here, that 'Jesus didn't die for anyone's sins', is simply NOT in the scripture. The opposite is the case, in which the gospels are linked inescapably to Isaiah 53 and Psalm 22, which affirm the Suffering Servant who "bore the iniquities of many". There simply isn't the scripture to back up Paul's assertion in the video, which represents in reality a very immature comprehension of the Messiahship of Jesus, which was recognised by the earliest Jewish believers and was eventually why these earliest believers were ejected from the Temple and synagogues, James being martyred, despite his Jewish church leadership in Jerusalem.

The problem is that what you call scriptures developed much later and became canonical, destroying and suppressing everything before it. You should start by examining the historical accuracy of the NT. Read the book "The five gospels" from the Jesus Seminar.
@@disuser-lp3qv1tm8f re: “The problem is that what you call scriptures developed much later and became canonical, destroying and suppressing everything before it.” >> Perhaps you would like to provide some EVIDENCE for your statement? I suggest to you, that your statement is pure supposition. Without any evidence you are on very weak ground, that is totally depending upon your imagination!
There is actually far greater evidence that the Quran is actually what you are describing here! The reason for this, is that if we follow the text of the Quran, it leads us all the way back on a trail through centuries of the history of Christian heretical groups, who denied the divinity of Christ and ideas about the trinity. What you have in the Quran, all comes from Christian heresies, that existed in Syria and the Near East, before the 7th century. The Quran is the final edition of Christian lectionaries from these Christian groups, which we understand to be called the Quriyana text (Lectionary).
So this represents the real story behind the Quran, not the one you have been told.
For a start, the reason your statement is clearly error, is that you claim that our scriptures “destroyed and suppressed everything before it”! But this is obviously untrue! What came before the New Covenant or New Testament, is the ‘Old Testament’ or Tanack and you will find that full Bibles contain both the New Testament and the Old Testament that came before it! Therefore, the scriptures of the New Testament did NOT ‘suppress or destroy, everything before it’! You see when you make clearly erroneous statements that have no foundation to them, they fall apart pretty quickly!
The foundation to the New Testament is the Old Testament which is attached to it (before it).
re: “You should start by examining the historical accuracy of the NT.” >> You mean you want me to RETURN AGAIN to ‘examine the historical accuracy of the NT’?
Why would you want me to go over this again? I am satisfied with the historical validity of the NT.
re: “Read the book "The five gospels" from the Jesus Seminar.” >> I’ll read that if you read Christof Luxenborg’s book explaining why the Quran is really an Aramaic text from Christian sources that has been corrupted by the editor of the Quran - ok?
The so called “Jesus Seminar”, is an outdated and largely discredited movement in today’s theology, with good reason! Modern theologians consign this movement to the dusty shelves of ‘has beens’ because they used some very poor rational as the basis for their protocols and theories, which were based upon presumptions from sceptics, who do not believe in God or the miraculous. So for you, as a Muslim, for instance, you would not support the rational behind the so called ‘Jesus Seminar’ because a Muslim would regard it as ungodly. The people of the Jesus Seminar, for instance would regard the ‘virgin birth’ you have in the Quran as nonsense and untrue and therefore would discredit the validity of the Quran and its author(s).
As you are apparently so interested in the historicity of the NT for some strange reason (I don’t know why that would be of any interest to you, as you are a Muslim), then I recommend you to read “Reinventing Jesus: How Contemporary Skeptics, miss the Real Jesus and Mislead Popular Culture”, by J. Ed. Komoszewski; M. James Sawyer and Daniel B. Wallace, published in 2006, by Kregel Publications.
You will see from the above book that the general public is being hoodwinked and mislead on a massive scale, about the New Testament, often led by popular characters like Bart Ehrman, who has spent his life trying to justify his backslidden state, and making good money out of misleading young people etc.
@@peaceinjesus5221 the difference between you and me is that when it comes to the NT I listen to the best academic experts on the subject, while, on the other hand, when it comes to the Qur'an, you listen to unqualified and/or bigoted liars.
What is also funny is that you claim that the public is being misled by critical scholars of the NT, while in fact the exact opposite is true, namely that the general public still believes that the Gospels are God's word and have absolutely no idea how they came about.
My interest in early Christianity as a Muslim is to confirm, through human knowledge, what divine knowledge in the Qur'an already says about it, which is, that Christians have corrupted their religion and gone completely astray, which you are a perfect example of.

Expressing one’s opinion is not a guarantee of being correct! You could be very wrong and in this case, your opinion is not only driven by your prejudice, but it is overtly emotionally defensive! Emotional responses like this, of a defensive nature, have the characteristic of blind panic in response to a perceived threat! It is this that you are presenting to me, in reply.
You see an intelligent response to my reply to you, would have been to say: “How interesting, ….I must find this book by Christoff Luxnborg, read it and learn what I can from it, even if at the end of it, I don’t agree with his conclusions”,….but you will note that instead, your own response is: “they are unqualified”….”they are liars”,….”they are bigoted”! Can you see how your response is emotionally driven in a knee jerk defensive response, instead of intelligently considering the matter? Luxenborg is none of these things!
The scholars involved in the Jesus Seminar, enjoyed fame for a while, but they created their own criteria, which while having some rational behind it, also had the distinct possibility that it lead them to gross errors! The criteria which they used, was based upon a collection of presumptions and these presumptions derived from their personal position of sceptical scholarship, which denied any possibility of divine interventions or the miraculous, including the possibility of divine prophecies. Therefore in the mind of a Jesus Seminar scholar, there is no such a thing as Prophecy foretelling the future - this to a Jesus Seminar scholar is non existent. Therefore, a Jesus Seminar scholar, looking at your Quran, would completely dismiss it as any kind of ‘revelation’ or having any prophetic foretelling. In their mind, the Quran is relegated to being a product of collective authorship, and they would use criteria in studying it, which would deconstruct it, in the same kind of manner as they tried to deconstruct the Bible.
re: “What is also funny is that you claim that the public is being misled by critical scholars of the NT, while in fact the exact opposite is true, namely that the general public still believes that the Gospels are God's word and have absolutely no idea how they came about.” >> There is nothing “funny” about this subject. It is a serious matter! I referred you to a book which addressed this subject. I did not write it. It is written by scholars who have made it their life’s work to study the New Testament manuscripts. They are not amateurs! However, I will tell you what is “funny”….its your reluctance and absolute prejudice in considering any other possibilities and perspectives than your own because you are using these accusations to try to prop up your religion of Islam! ….I can see through this, straight away!
I’m very satisfied that the New Testament is an authentic collection of writings inspired by God for my spiritual Birth, Growth and benefit, as it is and has been for millions of other people, since 2000 years ago! There is nothing that is going to change now! I would politely suggest, that unless you have read the book I recommended to you, that you cannot possibly have anything but an unbalanced view generated by sceptical critics of the Bible and God. Any intelligent mind, will read all sides of a subject, in order to discover truth…..NOT JUST THE SIDE HE WANTS TO SUPPORT HIS AGENDA! (this is what you are doing!).
re: “My interest in early Christianity as a Muslim is to confirm, through human knowledge, what divine knowledge in the Qur'an already says about it, which is, that Christians have corrupted their religion and gone completely astray, which you are a perfect example of.” >> Firstly as a Muslim, Christian faith, has absolutely nothing to do with you - it is not your business. You have your own religion and if you think that has any truth in it, you should be sticking to your belief in Allah and Mohammed, not criticising someone else’s faith.
Secondly, you claim that the Quran has “divine knowledge”, yet fail to intelligently apply a critical approach to the Quran, to see if that is actually true! Let me put it this way for you: If the Quran was truly “a revelation” from God to an Arabic man, in far off Mecca, who had nothing at all to do with the faith of Christians and Jews or their scriptures/writings, you would NOT read anything at all in it, pertaining to either Jewish or Christian religion. You would instead have a book which spoke only to the Arabic and nomadic context of the people receiving the “revelation”, because that is how God speaks. God never reveals himself by going to great lengths to criticise another religion. He may mention criticisms in passing, but that is all. Yet here in the Quran, we cannot read this text, with any other opinion, that it is the work of a man or men, who have constructed an Anti-Christian polemic and Anti-Jewish polemic!
An intelligent mind would also be careful to note that the Quran makes absolutely no mention of criticisms of the religion of Aborigines in Australia, or the religion of North American indigenous natives, or of the religion of Eskimos, nor of the religion of Hinduism or Bhuddism! These religions are NOT addressed in the Quran and receive no criticism, because the author of the Quran did not know about these religions, or the people who lived in these far off places!! The reason for this is that the author or authors, were personally acquainted with Jewish and Christian faiths of the surrounding region, but had little or no knowledge of the above people and their religions of far off regions around the world! Yet the peoples on the other side of the world, were just as significant as those in the Near East! The Quran’s author had no knowledge of them!! It is things like this that expose the Quran as a writing which can only have originated from a man or men who wrote only of their own small world, criticising only what they had knowledge of!
Since the above, is so apparently the case, your comment: “Christians have corrupted their religion and gone completely astray, which you are a perfect example of”, cannot be taken with any seriousness, when the author of the Quran was so obviously human and not ‘divine’.
I’d also add, that I haven’t “corrupted” anything. I am a grateful recipient of God’s grace to me, in which He has mercifully opened the Eternal door of His redemption and salvation. In this, I have received great Joy, wonderful Peace and a love which only comes from the Saviour, Jesus!
You should humble yourself at the feet of Jesus and listen to the gospel, which he is the inspirer of and receive the Grace that comes only from Him.
Appreciate the amount of videos you're putting out. Thanks brother.

Loving these videos. Really insightful! Thank you Sir.

@Blogging Theology
You failed to mention that there are two covenants:
(1) The Old Covenant spoken by Moses, and
(2) The New Covenant spoken by Jesus.
The Old Testament long foretold that God would establish a New Covenant:
Jeremiah 31:31-34
³¹ “Behold, the days come,” saith the Lord, “that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah- ³² not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt, My covenant which they broke, although I was a husband unto them,” saith the Lord. ³³ “But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel: After those days,” saith the Lord, “I will put My law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts, and will be their God, and they shall be My people. ³⁴ And they shall teach no more every man his neighbor and every man his brother, saying, ‘Know the Lord.’ For they shall all know Me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them,” saith the Lord, “for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.”
The New Testament expounds on Jeremiah 31:31-34.
Luke 22:20
Likewise He also took the cup after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in My blood, which is shed for you.”
Hebrews 8:8
For finding fault with them, He saith, “Behold, the days come,” saith the Lord, “when I will make a newcovenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah-
Hebrews 8:13
In that He saith “a new covenant,” He hath made the first old. Now that which decayeth and waxeth old is ready to vanish away.
Hebrews 12:24
and to Jesus the Mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel.
You also failed to mention that Jesus Himself predicted the destruction of the Jewish Temple and the exile of the Jews into foreign lands before the return of Christ:
Luke 21:24
²⁴ And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations. And Jerusalem shall be trodden down by the Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.
If there was no contention between the Pharisees of Judaism and the early disciples of Jesus Christ, why then was there so much persecution against the early disciples of Christ?
You were also wrong to claim that the apostles viewed James (the half brother of Jesus) as their head. The apostles claimed CHRIST was their head (the head of the church) and that the church was His body (the believers). See Ephesians 1:22-23; 4:15; 5:23; Colossians 1:18; 2:10,19; 1 Corinthians 11:3.
And Peter called Paul "our beloved brother" and not "my enemy" anywhere in the New Testament:
2 Peter 3:15-16
¹⁵ And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation, even as our beloved brother Paul also, according to the wisdom given unto him, hath written unto you, ¹⁶ as also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things. Therein are some things hard to understand, which those who are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other Scriptures, unto their own destruction.
Jesus was not "adopted" but always maintained His divinity even from conception:
Luke 1:35
And the angel answered and said unto her, “The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee. Therefore also that Holy Being who shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God.”
Luke 2:10-11
¹⁰ And the angel said unto them, “Fear not, for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. ¹¹ For unto you is born this day in the City of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.”
This is significant in that the angel Gabriel and the other holy angels called Jesus "holy" and "the Son of God" and "Savior" and "Christ" and "the Lord."
Why is this significant? Because the Old Testament says God alone is the Lord and Savior:
Isaiah 43:10-11
¹⁰ “Ye are My witnesses,” saith the Lord, “and My servant whom I have chosen, that ye may know and believe Me, and understand that I am He. Before Me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after Me.¹¹ I, even I, am the Lord, and besides Me there is no savior.”
There are two natures in Christ:
Divine and human.
Jesus called Himself God (Revelation 21:6-7).
Jesus called Himself the Almighty (Revelation 1:8).
God calls Jesus God (Hebrews 1:8).
All of heaven's angels worship Jesus (Hebrews 1:6).
Jesus is God.
Always has been.
Still is.
Always will be.
You say repeatedly "probably" and "apparently" which shows you are guessing and have no idea what you are talking about. 🙂
@@iw21012 The blind think they see but are led astray
@@iw21012 Beautiful rebuttal.
@iw21012 Agree brother... 100 % The first Gentile believers in Act's. We're told not to continue, by Peter, and PAUL, SAYING . "WHY PUT A NOOSE AROUND THEIR NECK, THAT WE AND OUR PAST GENERATIONS COULDNT KEEP" !
Jesus did not come to destroy Jewish law. He came to give us a better alternative.
If you think you can follow the law than you can do so, but you will fail. As he said, " nonoe is without sin" It's much easier to follow Jesus.
All those books in the background. Your deserve a thumps up.
Finally been looking for this info for a hot minute. Thanks sir
If James was the head of the church, why is it that the church he was head of did not become the predominant church in which the true doctrines of Christianity came to be known? It makes no sense that Christ would allow the congregation holding the truth about Him, to fall into extinction.
Congrats Paul on reaching 6k subs so quickly. This style really suits you. I am enjoying the research you are sharing.
Thanks!
@seek mogol you keep posting this but it only make it more clear that ur an ass hat ..
:)
@seek mogol Isaiah 29:12
And when they give the book to one who cannot read, saying, “Read this,” he says, “I cannot read.”
Bible miracle as well 🤫
@Shalom Shalom did Jesus speak Greek?
@@ozarad6263 where's the original of bible
It's not surprising that the heretical sect had some beliefs similar to the early church, as Jesus said in John 16;12-15 "I have much more to say to you, more than you can now bear. But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all the truth. He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come." So the very early church was still learning the full truth about many things, and apostles such as Saul, James, Peter etc wrote teachings to bring clarity and knowledge of the truth. Those who rejected these teachings of the Apostles were bound to remain in heresy.
so happy to have found you, cant wait to learn more. many thanx
But why was Stephen stoned? Why did Saul (later converted to be Paul) seek to kill early Christians? I don't think your source is looking at the history of Christianity honestly.
All propaganda. Plenty of videos out now proving there's no Jesus. Up to you to research.
Just because he said he saw something.... Means absolutely nothing. Sorry to burst your bubble.
Paul is the biggest influence of your church, and he never met Jesus. His whole game was, Jesus told me in a vision.
Never met the man.
In fact had conflicts with people who did.
Sorry not buying it
@@mustafaeh If you look at history honestly, it is obvious the early Jewish believers were highly persecuted. Why doubt this?
If you look at history honestly, it is obvious the early Jewish believers were highly persecuted. Why doubt this?
I have looked at history carefully, and I certainly guarantee you blogging theology has too.
If you see his interview of why he became Muslim, it's all based on what he found out about history.
Christianity has swept history under the rug. There were centuries the masses in some places (like France and Spain) were not allowed to read the Bible.
They use history for their advantage, e.g. the Jews killed Christ let's get them, or forget it to make them feel better about things they did wrong: yeah Christians Jews and Muslims all lived in peace in Spain and Jerusalem for centuries, and yeah we massacred them during the Crusades and did that whole spanish reconquesta thing, but it's the Muslims who are the blood thirsty ones.
The truth is this:
Jesus not once claimed to be god. And I mean really say that. Being the most important pillar of your faith do you not think that should be stated clearly? No before Abraham was I am, no those who see the father see me.
We have a Quran chapter that reads:
Say he is God alone, god the eternal. He neither beggets children nor was he begotten and there is absolutely noone that is equivalent to him
Absolutely clear, our eternal lives in hell deserve at least that.
That one fact, the fact that he never claimed to be god (read any scholarly book from non biased historians) makes Islam 100 times closer to Jesus than Christianity.
So yeah, we do look at history, we do see that for millennia god revealed himself as solely one god. He had people who didn't believe that condemned to eternal hellfire, only to come up 2000 years ago and say just kidding! I have a son, oh and a holy spirit. We're all three in one. And I didn't talk about it in the bible, I'll let you guys figure that out.
You guys needed councils over centuries to establish your core dogmas, some of whom were headed by, coincidentally, people who believed in demigods.
So no my friend, history is absolutely not on your side in this.
That was a revelation ... but in some ways, not a surprise that over time an institution veers away from its foundational principles ... Thank you.
Things of this world devolve with time as all things......corruption has a slow walk at times.
Foundational principles are based on the Bible in its entirety. Cherry picking passages to make a point is not the hallmark of a Scholar. Wake up from such ignorance and be consistent.
Thanks, this is very interesting.
After reading the whole Bible for 45 years, I can say that the Apostle Paul and James were not really teaching different things. Paul was a staunch believer of the law but was drastically changed when he saw a vision of light and was confronted by the risen Christ on his way to Damascus to persecute Christians. Paul teaches that we are not justified by works of the law but through faith in Jesus Christ (Galatians 2:16). James’s letter had a different focus than Paul’s. His letter focuses on virtues as a consequence of true faith (James 2:18-20). Didn’t James say that whoever keeps the whole law but fails in one point has become accountable for all of it? (James 210). We all know that all have sinned (Romans 3:23). That’s not Paul’s teaching but a truth that we can easily confirm by examining ourselves. As such, if we were to be judged through our works, we will all be subject to judgment. Matthew 5:48 says, “Be perfect as your Heavenly Father is perfect.” Acts 15’s discussion of what should be the rules for the Gentiles in the Jerusalem Council concluded that Gentiles should only abstain from things polluted by idols, from sexual immorality, and from what has been strangled, and from blood (Acts 15:20). The conclusion was based on divine revelation given to Peter in Acts 10 and the testimony of Barnabas and Paul. Peter was more orthodox than Paul but Peter himself wrote that Paul’s teachings were scriptures (2 Peter 3:15-16). The idea that Jesus has divine nature was taught by the apostles. John discussed this more exhaustively because he had the opportunity to ponder on Jesus’s teachings for a longer time and he was blessed to see not only the transfigured Christ but the glorified Christ (Revelation 1). John expressed the eternal nature of Jesus Christ in John 1:1 & 1 John 1:2. Matthew expressed his understanding of Christ’s divinity when he documented the temptation of Christ when Jesus told Satan, “You shall not put the Lord your God to the test.” Satan was tempting Jesus, not the Father (Matthew 4:6), thus, Jesus claimed to be God. In John 8:23-24, Jesus delineated Himself from the rest of humanity by saying, “You are from below; I am from above. You are of this world, I am not of this world. I told you that you would die in your sins if you do not believe that I Am (Greek: Ego Eimi; Hebrew: Ehyeh). That conversation with the Jews ended with the Jews picking up stone to stone Jesus because they understood His claim of deity when He said, “Truly, truly,I say to you, before Abraham was, I Am (Ego Eimi). Ego Eimi is a divine name. It’s God’s revelation of His own nature. Even the writer to the Hebrews declared Jesus’s divinity. In Hebrews 1:3, the writer said that the world was created through the Son. The Son is the radiance of the glory of God and the exact imprint of His nature, and He upholds the universe by the word of His power. In verse 1:8, God called the Son, “God.” In Hebrews 1:10-12, God declared that the Son created the universe and that He will never end.
If you believe that the Bible is inspired by God then, you should not divide the Bible into teachings of Paul, Peter, James, John, Luke,etc.. You should refer to it only as the word of God.
The Bible teaches a Jesus with two natures: fully divine (John 1:1, Philippians 2:6-11; Mark 14:62; Luke 4:8; Hebrews 1:8, 10-12) and fully human (John 1:14; Philippians 2:7-8; 1 Timothy 2:5).
Jesus was eternally God as was described by John in John 1:1 using the imperfect tense with continuous aspect. He became flesh in John 1:14 using the aorist tense indicating that sometime in the past , Jesus put on humanity. Jesus came for one main reason: to die for the sins of the world. The penalty for sin is death. Since all have sinned, no one is qualified to be the propitiation for our sins except for Jesus. In His pre-incarnate state, Jesus could not save us. He could not shed His blood as a Spirit God. Without shedding of blood, there is no forgiveness (Hebrews 9:22). It was decided sometime in eternity that Jesus would suspend His independent use of His divine power and be a man so that He could save us without violating His justice (Philippians 2:5-11; 1 Peter 1:18-20). Jesus issued a promise, “Truly, truly,, I say to you, whoever hears My word and believes Him who sent Me has eternal life. He does not come into judgment, but has passed from death to life.” Can the word of God be any clearer that salvation is through faith in Jesus Christ? Anyone who tries to save himself on his own is doomed because he will not be covered by God’s unmerited favor (Romans 4:2-6; Ephesians 2:4-9).
God is just but He is also love. Those two traits were satisfied on the cross. Jesus is coming back. He will either be our judge or our savior. The choice is ours.
Isn’t it surprising that only Paul saw and heard Jesus (PBOH) Paul was clearly delusional because there is no EVIDENCE that it was Jesus (PBOH ) that he saw

@@ahganchi Yet the apostles agreed Paul was an apostle and of the faith, and Paul transformed from a Pharisee persecuting Christians to a Christian under extreme persecution, to his death, himself.
You can call it delusion, but its clear that he saw what he saw, and had profound revelation and transformation of his heart through the Holy Spirit, and the apostles agreed he was one of them.
Well said! In addition, St. John of Damascus identified the Ebionites as heretics, since they believed that Christ and the Holy Spirit were created in heaven and that Christ dwelled in Adam as was incarnated as Adam. Clearly, they were not Christian. Paul has also been a dear Saint to all Christians and was in complete agreement with the Apostles and James. As Amorfina said, just read Acts 15.

Brilliant! Marvelous! Thank you!
I'm still hoping that someone would send me "Unity and Diversity by James Dunn (of course in pdf format)
I think these book is worthy to read for seeking the history of the first followers of Jesus.
The Qur’an mentions in Surah Al-Araf chapter 7 verse 157:
"Those who follow the Messenger, the unlettered Prophet, whom they find mentioned in their own (scriptures) in the law and the Gospel".
Prophet Muhammad, prophesised in the Book of Deuteronomy:
Almighty God speaks to Moses in Book of Deuteronomy chapter 18 verse 18:
"I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee, and I will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him."
The Christians say that this prophecy refers to Jesus (pbuh) because Jesus (pbuh) was like Moses (pbuh). Moses (pbuh) was a Jew, as well as Jesus (pbuh) was a Jew. Moses (pbuh) was a Prophet and Jesus (pbuh) was also a Prophet.
If these two are the only criteria for this prophecy to be fulfilled, then all the Prophets of the Bible who came after Moses (pbuh) such as Solomon, Isaiah, Ezekiel, Daniel, Hosea, Joel, Malachi, John the Baptist, etc. (pbut) will fulfill this prophecy since all were Jews as well as prophets.
However, it is Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) who is like Moses (pbuh):
Both had a father and a mother, while Jesus (pbuh) was born miraculously without any male intervention.
[Mathew 1:18 and Luke 1:35 and also Al-Qur'an 3:42-47]
Both were married and had children. Jesus (pbuh) according to the Bible did not marry nor had children.
Both died natural deaths. Jesus (pbuh) has been raised up alive. (4:157-158)
Muhammad (pbuh) is from among the brethren of Moses (pbuh). Arabs are brethren of Jews. Abraham (pbuh) had two sons: Ishmail and Isaac (pbut). The Arabs are the descendants of Ishmail (pbuh) and the Jews are the descendants of Isaac (pbuh).
Words in the mouth:
Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) was unlettered and whatever revelations he received from Almighty God he repeated them verbatim.
"I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee, and will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him." [Deuteronomy 18:18]
Both besides being Prophets were also kings i.e. they could inflict capital punishment. Jesus (pbuh) said, "My kingdom is not of this world." (John 18:36).
Both were accepted as Prophets by their people in their lifetime but Jesus (pbuh) was rejected by his
people. John chapter 1 verse 11 states, "He came unto his own, but his own received him not."
Both brought new laws and new regulations for their people. Jesus (pbuh) according to the Bible did not bring any new laws. (Mathew 5:17-18).
It is Mentioned in the book of Deuteronomy chapter 18:19
"And it shall come to pass, that whosoever will not harken unto my words which he shall speak in my name, I will require it of him."
Muhammad (pbuh) is prophesised in the book of Isaiah:
It is mentioned in the book of Isaiah chapter 29 verse 12:
"And the book is delivered to him that is not learned, saying, Read this, I pray thee: and he saith, I am not learned."
When Archangel Gabrail commanded Muhammad (pbuh) by saying Iqra - "Read", he replied, "I am not learned".
New Testament
Al-Qur'an Chapter 61 Verse 6:
"And remember, Jesus, the son of Mary, said, 'O Children of Israel! I am the messenger of Allah (sent) to you, confirming the Law (which came) before me and giving glad tidings of a messenger to come after me, whose name shall be Ahmed.' But when he came to them with clear signs, they said, 'This is evident sorcery!' "
All the prophecies mentioned in the Old Testament regarding Muhammad (pbuh) besides applying to the Jews also hold good for the Christians.
John chapter 14 verse 16:
"And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you forever."
Gospel of John chapter 15 verse 26:
"But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me."
Gospel of John chapter 16 verse 7:
"Nevertheless I tell you the truth; it is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you".
"Ahmed" or "Muhammad" meaning "the one who praises" or "the praised one" is almost the translation of the Greek word Periclytos. In the Gospel of John 14:16, 15:26, and 16:7. The word 'Comforter' is used in the English translation for the Greek word Paracletos which means advocate or a kind friend rather than a comforter.
Paracletos is the warped reading for Periclytos. Jesus (pbuh) actually prophesised Ahmed by name. Even the Greek word Paraclete refers to the Prophet (pbuh) who is a mercy for all creatures.
Some Christians say that the Comforter mentioned in these prophecies refers to the Holy Sprit. They fail to realise that the prophecy clearly says that only if Jesus (pbuh) departs will the Comforter come. The Bible states that the Holy Spirit was already present on earth before and during the time of Jesus (pbuh), in the womb of Elizabeth, and again when Jesus (pbuh) was being baptised, etc. Hence this prophecy refers to none other than Prophet Muhammad (pbuh).
Gospel of John chapter 16 verse 12-14:
"I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now. Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth is
come, he will guide you unto all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come. He shall glorify me".
The Sprit of Truth, spoken about in this prophecy refers to none other than Prophet Muhammad (pbuh
.....
SubhaanAllaah great answer.
Jzkl for clarifying to those ignorant ppl that say Muhammed SAW was a false prophet
Wana oodhubillaah
Having a mother and father are not the exclusive qualities of a prophet but of all humans. The important qualities of a prophet like Moses that was shared by Jesus is they both performed great miracles. Jesus and Moses also came as liberators of God's people, Israel, and establishing a covenant between them and their God. The Allah of the Quran is never referred to as YHWH, the God of Israel. Therefore Muhammed is NOT the prophet like Moses mentioned in Deuteronomy 18:18.
Don't speak about false prophets if your Muslim mohammed was a false prophet didn't exist

Salam, Excellent summation Sir.
Great info. Thanks!
Can you explain Peters dream in Acts?
Blogging theology: I listened to your commentary on this matter. I can understand how the Jews continued with their temple practices and their religion even after receiving Jesus as their Messiah. We have to understand how God used Jesus’s murder in a surprising way for the Jews such that they had no idea of this New covenant, and a transition which Paul brought after his revelation, started what christianity is all about. Contrary to what many believed then and now, Paul did not abolish the Law but replaced it with a New way to receive true acceptance and righteousness by God apart from doing what the Law requires. Those who put Paul against the Law do not understand christianity. Just as Jesus said “ I did not come to abolish the Law but to fulfill it”, Paul actually implemented Jesus’s statement. Faith in the work of Jesus on the cross , and believe in his resurrection is what God requires us to do to become part of the New covenant in Jesus’s blood. Jesus promised the Spirit in John 7:38, John explains the coming of the Spirit as being the source of life and the necessity for Jesus to die on the cross and be resurrected for this to happen. The righteousness as Paul states in Galatians and Romans, does not come from the Law because the only way to attain that righteousness is by the Spirit of God and it takes faith according to the New Covenant to receive the Spirit. Love is the consequence of that New Covenant, and this Love can only come from God, and as the Scripture say, Love fulfills the whole Law. Just as God in the Old Testament promised Israel to give them a new heart, faith is the vehicle to receive that new heart because as Paul says, no one is justified by the works of the Law because by the Law we receive the knowledge of sin, only faith can justify us before God, or make us righteous before God.
Excellent, and perfectly said. JESUS is the way the truth and the life and no one can come to the father but by Him. If this is not so then he is a lying prophet and all of humanity is dead in their sin. But praise Almighty God that Jesus who now sits at the right of God is the perfect sacrificial lamb. This is the good news, and Gift out of pure love to human kind and unlike the religions of the world who would love to hate and kill you for beleiving the truth God gives you a choice to choose His Gift or reject it. In that way He allows us to choose for yourself between everlasting life in Jesus Christ or eternal separation but advises to choose life. The flesh prefers dead religion like Islam, catholicism, churchianity etc. These are simply blind mans attempt to save himself which is like unto a blind man trying to give himself sight in order to pick his way through a dense forest. They are all darkness arrogently posing as light. The whole point of the law is to show us how impossibly lost and hopless our situation is. Only God can save us byJesus Christ and through the mighty power of His holy spirit working in us and enabling us, empowering us to change from the inside outwards so that we too, like Jesus can walk in the newness of life. This is the botom line and arguing in your head about whether paul was right or james was right and going to scholarship to push your particular false religion perspective is absolutely futile. Jesus is the way the truth and the life and no one can/ is able to come to the Father but by JESUS. The popes and mohommad who murdered millions of people in order to force them to follow false religion will have to bow before Jesus and repent. They and every living thing and entity in heaven on earth and below earth will have to acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God the Father. Its as simple and complicated as that.
Paul had a clear vision of Christianity however, Some of the Jewish Christians doubted matt 28:17. James, a leader was trying to balance Paul extremity(radical change) and pharisee party as Paul describe them
These party believe in the mixture of Jesus and law of the temple. Old habit hardly die!
Later some these pharisee doubts became heretical view
@@marioserafin3177 That's the truth. That's why Christ utterly destroyed the Temple and sacrificial priesthood and the ceremonial laws all in one moment of time in 70 ad.
All foretold by the prophets and God,s law of blessing and cursing.
@@goodman4093 Paul along with Jesus were very much misunderstood from the beginning. The ministry of the twelve started at Pentecost as they received power from above. They preached Jesus to be the Messiah and for the Jews and the rest of the Israelites to believe in him. We do not know if the apostles understood Paul, we do not have any solid data to know what the twelve actually believed concerning the New Covenant which superseded the Old. No one could have thought that they actually killed their own Messiah, and that God used that murder to free them from the Old Law. Paul understood this change.
It is hardly conceivable that the intimate followers, disciples of Jesus should have been unaware of a new covenant and that a man who never had encountered Jesus ans who never had been interested in his life and in his sayings sbould have hade the "true way"!
Paul did everything to abolish the law and was in constant struggle with the "circumcised"
Thank you. May Almighty accept from you.
GREAT INFORMATION
If James was the head of the church, why is it that the church he was head of did not become the predominant church in which the true doctrines of Christianity came to be known? It makes no sense that Christ would allow the congregation holding the truth about Him, to fall into extinction.
Great bookshelves.
Hey can you please make a website for all the book you mention on your channel. It'll be a service to mankind.
God willing
@@BloggingTheology Thank you.
@@BloggingTheologywhat do you think of revelations 2:9 and 3:9 sir?
The video ended abruptly. Is there a second part?
Which episode/video is this clip from? I’d like to watch the whole video. Thanks
Protect your soul Paul 🙏
Ironic that you're name is Paul, while referencing how "Paul" had nothing to do with original Christianity. However what seems strange is that apparently Ebionites were vegetarians and hated animal sacrifices, also in their gospel. How then could the temple be central to them if they hated the sacrificial system and the eating of meat?
'Apparently'???????
Oh, it cut off right at the statement of the point.
Is there a Part 2?
Hmmm... the video stopped in mid-sentence. Excellent presentation of the information, and just a FYI, I just ordered the referenced book, and I am looking forward to reading it.
Thanks brother
Very informative videos, thankyou for that. Can you make a video or tell us some tips how the read more books. How to schedule to read. And just get most out of a book when reading. In short reading tips ahah.
Yes, please is very important. Video on importance of reading for adults, young people and children
Very good !!
This was interesting. Thanks.
Glad it was helpful!
Nice content.

Wow, this is very interesting - the conflict between Peter and Paul is something I've not heard of much at all. I've heard of some strife between them but nothing as strongly worded as what you just said. I see you have another video that expounds on this so I"m going to watch that!
Your church covered it up. It is all over the NT. They called each other liars, deceivers, and false apostles. There are 2 gospels. Paul is a Gnostic writing on 2 levels…. Both Literally and allegorically.
@@ffun1042 Whose church?
@@ffun1042 You have no idea what you're talking about. Paul called out Peter for avoiding gentiles and Peter called Paul's writings "sometimes difficult to understand", that's it.
Test Paul.
Greatt video professor
Paul's writings were misunderstood by many of the early church but eventually it is noted in Acts 21:24 that Paul himself, despite his hard to understand writings, also kept the law.
Great video again, Paul! You are easily one of the best speakers out there!
Quick question; can a Jew, Christian or any other person practicing a monotheistic religion, be a Muslim by definition - if they believe in one God, Allah and believe that Muhammad (pbuh) is His prophet and messenger - but still also carry on practicing their own monotheistic religions?
For example, did any Jews or Christians during Prophet Muhammad’s (pbuh) time, accept Islam but still also practice their own monotheistic religions? Many thanks.
If you believe that Mohammed PBUH is the prophet and messenger of God then you must also believe that The Quran is the Book of Revelations sent by God through him without any errors. Once you believe these two aspects then you are a Muslim. Because the Quran tells you to believe in the unity of God, His angels and His prophets/messengers like Adam, Noah, Lut, Abraham, Isaac, Ishmael, John, Moses, Jesus and Mohammed, peace be upon them all.
Nooruddin Kazim I agree with you brother, surely there were are are many Jews and Christians who believe this.
@@truthseeker9945Once you believe that Mohammed is the messenger of Allah and Jesus is also the messenger of Allah then you're a Muslim. Once you are a Muslim then you follow the Quran and the actions and sayings of Prophet Mohammed PBUH because in the Quran its mentioned that you follow your prophet Mohammed. There are some teachings in Jews and Christians which clash with teachings in Islam like we Muslims believe Jesus PBUH to be a mighty messenger of Allah, that he was born of a virgin mother Mary; that he was a messiah, that he was not killed nor crucified and he ascended to Allah and that he will come back again. Also there are other tenets of faith like prayers, feasting, zakat (fasting), etc. But these are minor things which you can adept later on. Once you reconcile these things then you are a Muslim. You don't need to be a Jew or Christian because Quran is the complete book of Allah in the original language Arabic and its been preserved for ever. Of course we believe that Allah sent other scriptures like Psalms of David, the Torah and Gospel but we believe that they are corrupted.
Muslim means one who submits to the will of the Creator; not a member of the religion announced by the last Messenger, for the Quran would not call earlier patriarchs and messengers as muslims otherwise. Non-muslim "proselytizers" exploit this non-English word to their advantage makin use of others' ignorance of the meaning of the word. So, who is not a muslim from a dialectical perspective? I think the verses starting from the 4th all the way to the last verse of Alaq clearly define who is not a muslim. They are worth reading again and again and pondering about the idea they convey. It is also very interesting from a chronological perspective since Alaq is the first to be revealed to the last Messenger.
The core of Christian belief is the gospel, the "good news " that, in the sufficient, substitutionary, vicarious and free self sacrifice of Christ, the creative, sustaining and redeeming Son and word of God who, as the reality of God, can forgive sin in his divine nature, and has done so , once for all effective through faith. No orthodox Jew or Christian could accept Mohammed as the Messiah, or the Quran as the word of God. As a Christian. I hold with full assurance that I am saved by faith in the God/man Christ Jesus or that I.sm called to do the will of God as the only appropriate RESPONSE to God's grace. This is the final fulfillment of God:s covenant - the promise of God to take a people to.be his own and to be their God. I cannot accept any teaching that denies the divinity of Christ and his saving initiative. Consequently, no Jew or Christian could ever be a Muslim. This does not mean that I have any lack of respect for the sincerely held beliefs of Islam or those who accept them. However those beliefs are incompatible with the teachings of Judaism and Christianity - which are much more closely related than most realise. I ask you to respect my beliefs, as I do yours.
This is why it’s so important that Christians read the scriptures, and not be led astray. In the Gospels, Jesus claims to be God, not just some virtuous man. The very reason he was hung on the cross. Also, it’s no secret that there was strife between Paul and Peter, it’s actually documented in the book of Acts.
Jesus never claimed to be God.
@@Michael-Archonaeus Jesus, most certainly did.
@@Saltyjman I have been searching the manuscripts for 5 years now, sorry to disappoint you, I have not found even one instance of that.
@@Michael-Archonaeus ,”before Abraham was, I am”. God is the great I Am. Jesus
@@Saltyjman That is a mistranslation of Jesus' words, and "I am" is not a name, it's a simple statement.
If I tell you that I am hungry, I am not invoking some claim to divinity, nor if you talk about this Michael on TH-cam, and I say in koine Greek "ego eimi" which means I am/I am him/that is me, I am still not claiming to be God, I am claiming to be that Michael from TH-cam, and even though Michael means "who is like God" I am not claiming to be he who is like God either.
"Before Abraham came to be" is a more accurate translation, now when did Abraham come to be? This requires understanding of the scriptures, Abraham came to be when Abram made a covenant with God and became Abraham. Jesus was saying that even before the Abrahamic covenant, he was who he is, which is an allusion to the fact that the priesthood of Jesus is greater than that of the Levites, because Jesus is high priest according to the order of Melchizedek.
If I said that even before I was conceived, I was who I am, that doesn't mean I actually pre-existed, it simply means that God planned my life long before I came into the world, and I was always meant to be who I am now.
God isn't "the great I am," no one is, because that's not something anyone can be.
God is the one who is, that's what he said to Moses, aka he is the one true God, as opposed to all the other gods, he is the one who actually exists. God then announced his name to be whatever the original pronunciation of the tetragrammaton was.
Jesus is not called directly by that name, but rather by a derivative of that name, which is the same name that was given to the son of Nun, Jesus or Joshua, however you prefer to say it, Jesus Christ or Joshua the Messiah.
Thanks
Do you have a transcript of this?
i've read all these texts decades ago
at that time i was probably an ebionite catholic planning to join the carmelites order
i forgot whether the ebionite gospel had any mention about the antinomian wine & blood drinking ritual which suspiciously might have been assimilated (by paul?) from the greco-roman dionysian ritual along with their firstborn baby sacrifice ritual
Christians sacrificing babies
How novel is ur accusation, nothing first century AD about that at all
I cannot have enough of you thank you so much God bless you
why did the video cut out so suddenly, obviously not finished.
I feel like your video cut off just a little bit before it was supposed to at the very end please look at it and see if I am right.
Also the very term
"the earliest Christians were Jews"
Is problematic on a fundamental linguistic etymological level.
Just as Isa never uttered the words "Christ" or "Christian" or "Christianity" because these anglicised terms simply did not exist at the time of Isa hence he never uttered them) just as he never uttered the words God or deus or logos etc)
But similarly moses. David Solomon and all the prophets sent to bani Israel never uttered the words jew Jewish judah Judaism etc simply because they didn't exist.
So the religion of moses et al until Isa was never described or named by the above terms, there simply was no "Judaism" there is no letter J in Hebrew!
These are all anglicised terms originating after 1100s in Europe.
The yahood (Jews) who settled in and around Yathrib (Madinah) centuries prior to the prophets pbuh migration to Madinah never called themselves "Jews"
One simply doesn't call oneself by a word that doesn't exist in one's language!
Neither the old testament prophets , neither Jesus said they were muslims, be fair .
Yehuda is the hebrew word for Judah, right? So Yehudi is the hebrew word for the inhabitants/descendant of Judah (the 4th son of Jacob). So Yehudi already existed back then. Yehudi or Jew, same difference. Jew is just the translation…🤷🏻♀️

It is hearsay and based only on selective academic research. A full reading of the Bible and the works of the early Church Fathers, reveals that the Ebionites were heretical, not some kind of original form or Christianity.

Another excellent video. I wonder where you find the time to read all these books.
Can you kindly explain more what is Paul's Christianity, thanks
I'm going to get that book. Ironically, I think it might explain some things I'm seeing in Eastern Orthodoxy, and why part of the Ancient Church Fathers, even if not the Ebionite extreme, might have pushed Paul to the wayside. It's just rather strange how absent Pauline doctrine is in early Christianity, as if it didn't even exist, although we know Paul's works were considered authentic even before the canon was completely established. Some of Paul's statements about justification and a more juridical concept of salvation are so clear in his writings, yet you really find little of this in Eastern Orthodoxy, which seems to have more of a Jewish ontological metaphor for salvation. I now wonder how much of Paul was in the earliest lectionaries.
The Early followers and disciples of the Messiah, including Paul (Shaul) were called followers of THE WAY, a Sect called Natzarim (Nazarenes, נוצרים).
They were not Ebionites, Ebionites were a different group.
Paul (Shaul) did not teach the Torah was done away. Hellenized "Christians" have twisted Paul's letters into lawlessness just as Peter warned would happen;
2 Peter 3:15 "and reckon the patience of our ADON as deliverance, as also our beloved brother Sha’ul wrote to you, according to the wisdom given to him,"
16 "as also in all his letters, speaking in them concerning these matters, in which some are hard to understand, which those who are untaught and unstable twist to their own destruction, as they do also the other Scriptures."
3:17 "You, then, beloved ones, being forewarned, watch, lest you also fall from your own steadfastness, being led away with the delusion of the lawlessness. "
Paul was teaching that we are saved by FAITH but that we don't do away with the Torah because of FAITH, We ESTABLISH THE TORAH.
Romans 3:31 "Do we then nullify the Torah through the Faith? Let it not be! On the contrary, WE ESTABLISH THE TORAH."
Romans 8:4 "so that the righteousness of the Torah should be completed in us who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit."
Romans 13:8 "Owe no one any matter except to love one another, for he who loves another has filled the Torah."
13:10 :"Love does no evil to a neighbour. Therefore, love is completion of the Torah."
Paul says the Fruit of the Spirit is LOVE, and that LOVE is the fulfilling of the TORAH.
But Hellenized Yahudim (Jews) and Greeks did not understand Paul because they were unlearned in the Torah.
Paul was explaining His message against the teachings of Yahudim (Jews) saying your saved only by keeping Torah. Yet they never showed LOVE for other, only themselves. Which the Messiah explains in the 4 Gospels. Paul is explaining that we are saved by FAITH, not of works. The thing is Hellenized Greeks and Jews belief (faith) is not an action word like in Hebrew. Faith in Hebrew is to believe and obey. So true FAITH will produce works of obedience.
@@soilnatureherbanfarmer7562really interesting commentary, cheers

I am grateful for revealing with clarity the beliefs of the earliest church, lead by James - Jesus’ bother who was appointed head of this community by Jesus. I believe this group and the Ebionites are the best and true picture of what Jesus taught and believe. What we call the Christian church seemed to have adopted creeds that on most points contradict this group and follow Paul. That means the Ebionites have Jesus’ gospel and the church has Paul’s gospel.
The temple is not built for sacrifice, it is built to be a dwelling place for God. Sacrifice was was only done on the outer alter. In the tent, there is the golden table of showbread, the incense alter and the menorah. And of course inside the tent is the holy of holies which had the ark of the covenant where God would manefest between the cherubim.
Somebody mentioned the your videos are not long enough i disagree its easier to concentrate on your short videos...plus very good content
I agree
I agree too
Thanks.
Agree.
Thank you
Thank you, Sir, for such a thought provoking clip. I found this fascinating. So there were the Naserians? There were the Ebionites? I ask myself brother Paul, Did they have with them any holy books - Gospels, or Sayings of Jesus? How come there are ONLY 4 Gospels? When were they canonized? Is there a surviving Historical record as to how ONLY these 4 Gospels were chosen as true and so canonical. A lot of Questions. I would love ❤️ you to address these somewhere, sometime. May God Bless you Brother Paul and your loved ones. Ta!
Have you thought about streaming live and sharing your knowledge with Christians?
nope
Ma sha'Allah. What an underrated channel!
Test Mohammad, if you believe in him.
The church we know as the church today did not begin at Pentecost..good shout .
The law was not given to the gentiles by Moses but to the Jews. But the law competed ended in 70 ad when the temple been destructed.
Great.
Very interesting. I have "Early christianities" by Ehrman.

When I was 5 Years I believe God can are all what he will. But then I read the Old Testament and New Testament.
In the Old Testament God give a promise that nobody will seen him before they died. And the Old Testament says that nobody must make image of God !
All the Real Prophets of God haven’t seen God. Moses spoke to God with the burning Bush between them.
He ( Moses ) don’t saw God ! 👀😉
To protect Moses-he have died !!!
New Testament, says Jesus Christ that the One Real God is in heaven.
He never claimed I’m God and worship me.
I believe in God and I believe in a Prophet Jesus Christ, without Divinity of Jesus Christ.
Jesus Christ prayed with his forehead in the ground ( like the Muslims ).
Christianity know this only from Yoga or gymnastic.
That he wouldn’t die !!!
To God Almighty.
Must a God prayed in this art to God or a Prophet of God !???
Can a God died !??? 😂
When your One God died, where resurrected ( Jesus Christ ) according to you from death ?
Was this Satan or the Pope !?
Where hold the Universum and the World alive - in the 3 Nights and 2 Days - when your One God was Death ❗️❓👀😂😂😂❓
Christianity Doktrin
Jesus Christ must as a God died to pay with his 🔥Suizid 🔥
on the Cross the Price for the Origin Sin, for the Christians.
Suizid- Hellfire forever.
How many Gods needs the Christianity to become the One God of Abraham !?
Christianity with a Divine Jesus Christ make not sense ( logically ) !
Why ?
God give his promise that he are One !!!
He have not a Women or a Son.
And is against he Majestic Nature to lie or contradict His Promise.
This is that. He haven’t a beginning or a Ending.
This meant : He can’t died ❗️
Jesus Christ have a beginning and a Ending ❗️
He was born ( and will died ).
The best part is Jesus Christ self, prayed to his God - Christianity prays to Jesus Christ !!!
Conclusion:
Jesus Christ God is not the God of Christianity, they pray to Jesus Christ as a God !

I am a new subscriber and really likes what you are doing with your channel. I have studied these matters for several decades and have become increasingly convinced that, we can not know nearly anything with certainty. Because of this reality, we can completely loosen our grip on our dogmas, theologies and even our chosen religion and begin to embrace our humanity, loving others not from fear of retribution from an "all powerful" deity or because a savior figure said we are to, but because knowing who we are as humans, being products of the same light and dark matter that makes up all the universe have the authority, privilege, right and responsibility to act from our purest self, for our own sake and the sake of all humanity.
Francis I respect your philosophy but at the end of the day if there is a real faith to God we can't substitute with personal philosophy. Think about this: with all the warning in bible, Quran about bad deeds, with all the court of laws and prosecutions and jails people still do atrocity so imagine if everyone abandon the law and the good teachings!! The question that is relevant is, is there an after life, to know that Islam show you a very easy to verify if it is the right faith or not,
"My creator if you exist please guide me to your path, amin" if it is said to the Creator alone (not idol) and with sincerity (meaning putting finding God's path above what family, friends, job, colleague would say) you are guaranteed to be answer in various way, either clear vivid vision (while sleep), and or coincidences in your daily life that you can't collectively attribute to coincidence, and or finding a compelling desire to research Islam etc..
so it is easy to verify the truth, here is one of many promises that you will be answered (if you are sincere)
The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, "Allah Almighty says: Whoever comes with a good deed will have the reward of ten like it and even more. Whoever comes with an evil deed will be recompensed for one evil deed like it or he will be forgiven. Whoever draws close to me by the length of a hand, I will draw close to him by the length of an arm. Whoever draws close to me by the length of an arm, I will draw close to him by the length of a fathom. Whoever comes to me walking, I will come to him running. And whoever meets me with enough sins to fill the earth, not associating any idols with me, I will meet him with as much forgiveness as possible. " Muslim 2687.
test that with the prayer and you will be answered, could it be easier than that, Francis?
Nice day
You can see these controversies develop through the Book of Acts. Thanks for the background.
Does the book cite sources about exaltation of James? ( not authors opinion)
Great video brother! Once again you spoke nothing but truth..... And the Qur'an confirms this as well, when it speaks of the jews, it simply says Jews. But when it speaks of Christians, Allah says the Nasara (those who call themselves Christians) which shows that's a title they gave themselves! Mashallah! Alhumdillah!
God has asked me to expose lies/deceptions. Paul whether by quote or otherwise did not speak the truth. If you read the scripture in context you will understand why this comment has been made to you. I am Christian. And yes we weren't always called Christians. We were first just called believers and then at Antioch Christians(english equivalent) Acts 11:26. Archaeology is not subjective Steven Chaffin. History written by modern historians however might at times be. I hate reading things that go against my narrative personally but truth is truth. Some of the early christians did have beliefs diametrically opposed to what our beliefs are today. But the leaders of the Church had the same beliefs we have today Steven Chaffin. The leaders who were the apostles were the ones to teach new converts the way, Jesus is mentioned as stating as much at Matthew 28:16-20. Remember any child must be taught first. The child of himself does not know the way initially. Left to oneself we default to what we knew before and think is true even though our newly accepted beliefs ultimately require change to a new default.
I am certain that the comment you made is false in part wrt the video. Forgive my abruptness!
@@teachmetheway7081 I don't see your comment as abrupt! You believe what you believe and that's understandable. But I only can speak from what the Qur'an says which is no doubt from Allah! It is fact that Jesus(pbuh) didn't bring a new religion nor named his teachings Christianity, nor did he ever say worship me, nor did he say he was God. I know due to your belief, I was a Christian before, but in the end it makes no sense at all, there will always be a hole of depression in your life. Christians don't know how to pray, most don't follow the teachings of Jesus(pbuh), most eat pork, are not circumcised, only worship one day out of the week, changed the Sabbath to the first day of the week. Take America for an example Christian country... Aborts millions of children every year, highest crime rate in the world, highest divorce rate, basically a country full of single mothers, men have been feminized. This is due to lack of fear for Allah, and disbelief in your scripture! If people think Jesus(pbuh) died for there sins, you get choas! I know you've heard Christians say there saved, as if there work on earth is completed and it's a guarantee that their going to heaven. Why would someone thinking this not do as thou wilt? Christians drink the blood of christ and eats his flesh during the first Sunday of the month, and you don't see anything wrong with that? That's sounds satanic! And the fact is Jesus(pbuh) spoke Aramaic hebrew, and even today Aramaic Christians call the only God worthy of worship Allahu. They even pray similar to Jews and Muslims. I only want you to see the truth, and its only from Allah, not Paul! Alhamdulillah

@Irish Guy
The guy in the video failed to mention that there are two covenants:
(1) The Old Covenant spoken by Moses, and
(2) The New Covenant spoken by Jesus.
The Old Testament long foretold that God would establish a New Covenant:
Jeremiah 31:31-34
³¹ “Behold, the days come,” saith the Lord, “that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah- ³² not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt, My covenant which they broke, although I was a husband unto them,” saith the Lord. ³³ “But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel: After those days,” saith the Lord, “I will put My law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts, and will be their God, and they shall be My people. ³⁴ And they shall teach no more every man his neighbor and every man his brother, saying, ‘Know the Lord.’ For they shall all know Me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them,” saith the Lord, “for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.”
The New Testament expounds on Jeremiah 31:31-34.
Luke 22:20
Likewise He also took the cup after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in My blood, which is shed for you.”
Hebrews 8:8
For finding fault with them, He saith, “Behold, the days come,” saith the Lord, “when I will make a newcovenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah-
Hebrews 8:13
In that He saith “a new covenant,” He hath made the first old. Now that which decayeth and waxeth old is ready to vanish away.
Hebrews 12:24
and to Jesus the Mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel.
The guy in the video also failed to mention that Jesus Himself predicted the destruction of the Jewish Temple and the exile of the Jews into foreign lands before the return of Christ:
Luke 21:24
²⁴ And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations. And Jerusalem shall be trodden down by the Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.
If there was no contention between the Pharisees of Judaism and the early disciples of Jesus Christ, why then was there so much persecution against the early disciples of Christ?
The guy in the video was also wrong to claim that the apostles viewed James (the half brother of Jesus) as their head. The apostles claimed CHRIST was their head (the head of the church) and that the church was His body (the believers). See Ephesians 1:22-23; 4:15; 5:23; Colossians 1:18; 2:10,19; 1 Corinthians 11:3.
And Peter called Paul "our beloved brother" and not "my enemy" anywhere in the New Testament:
2 Peter 3:15-16
¹⁵ And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation, even as our beloved brother Paul also, according to the wisdom given unto him, hath written unto you, ¹⁶ as also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things. Therein are some things hard to understand, which those who are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other Scriptures, unto their own destruction.
Jesus was not "adopted" but always maintained His divinity even from conception:
Luke 1:35
And the angel answered and said unto her, “The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee. Therefore also that Holy Being who shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God.”
Luke 2:10-11
¹⁰ And the angel said unto them, “Fear not, for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. ¹¹ For unto you is born this day in the City of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.”
This is significant in that the angel Gabriel and the other holy angels called Jesus "holy" and "the Son of God" and "Savior" and "Christ" and "the Lord."
Why is this significant? Because the Old Testament says God alone is the Lord and Savior:
Isaiah 43:10-11
¹⁰ “Ye are My witnesses,” saith the Lord, “and My servant whom I have chosen, that ye may know and believe Me, and understand that I am He. Before Me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after Me.¹¹ I, even I, am the Lord, and besides Me there is no savior.”
There are two natures in Christ:
Divine and human.
Jesus called Himself God (Revelation 21:6-7).
Jesus called Himself the Almighty (Revelation 1:8).
God calls Jesus God (Hebrews 1:8).
All of heaven's angels worship Jesus (Hebrews 1:6).
Jesus is God.
Always has been.
Still is.
Always will be.
The old guy in the video says repeatedly "probably" and "apparently" which shows he is guessing and has no idea what he is talking about. 🙂

Obviously a form of Torahism!..
Sad the ending is cut off! What did they believe?
If James was the head of the church, why is it that the church he was head of did not become the predominant church in which the true doctrines of Christianity came to be known? It makes no sense that Christ would allow the congregation holding the truth about Him, to fall into extinction.
@@josephseneca4090 sadly that is one observation I had but could never resolve, it makes no sense.
What about the Essenes, how where they different to the Ebunites?

Interesting info. The info itself matches exactly what I have found in early Christianity, however, my conclusions are distinctly different. I’d call it a tale of two churches, one stuck in a wannabe Levitical hierarchy under the influence and leadership of James and the other church that was growing into the Melchizedek priesthood that Christ taught his disciples but they were too stuck in Pharisaical Judaism to see clearly.
The results speak for themselves. The Jerusalem church played church and became irrelevant to the community and world at large, the Pauline church turned the world upside down.
You got that out of studying the first century church, Jerusalem church played church? You need to keep studying
@@ggductor1511 any particular documents I should be studying? I’m assuming you’re referring to something besides the New Testament, that sheds more light on the Jerusalem church.

@@josephseneca4090 My perspective is that James was the head of the church at Jerusalem. I see this as distinctly different than being the head of the church ie all Christianity.
As to why it fell into anonymity, my guess is because James was trying to be seeker friendly with the Jews, or trying to merge Pharisaical Judaism with Christianity, something that is actually antithetical to the church Jesus established. This is why Paul was so adamant that his primary concern was if they preached Christ crucified. Crucifixion was an idea that demanded a Jew to go against all of their cultural values and follow Christ even if it cost them their tie to Judaism. This was something that James does not appear to be able to understand, and something that Paul embraced. I believe that history recorded which theology Christ blessed.
The book of Acts indeed states clearly that at first, the Christians held on to many of their Jewish rites. Then, God revealed to Peter that no food was unclean. Paul had to remind him if that later on. By the end of Acts, the Christians who authored the NT texts no longer held the Jewish rites as necessary. Luke recorded all of this himself in Acts. He also wrote that Paul was considered by the disciples to be a true apostle, just as they were. It's all in that one book.
then why did orthodox byzantine church ban swine flesh and wine? wine was to be used in baptism cermonies only. your latin translation is a lie and propaganda
Oh my the video cut short?
overran the 15 minute limit
“What did they believe?” The video cut off at the end! Can you please clarify?
My dear friend there’s massive big confusion between Israelite as a nation and the Jews as religious communities
In the time of Moses Aron David Salomon there were no Jews
However Jesus was sent to the Israelite and part of the Israelite followed Jesus and become what we call now Christian
and on other group followed the Rabbis authorities who now called Jews
I heard somewhere that Quran general term before coming of Jesus was Bani Israil. After coming of Jesus then Quran use 2 terms for Bani Israil ( Nasara and Jew).
@@andanandan6061 Islam and the Quran came after Jesus
I’ve been wondering how Jewish Christians practiced their faith for three years. Thank you for answering this for me. I think that persecution and Paul preaching to gentiles slowly changed it and spread Christianity around the world.
there was no such thing, Christianity was founded by Greeks and Greek speaking Romans in the Roman Empire as an anti-Jewish movement

Kadeja was an Ebionite
The best example that I can think in terms of Judaism today is one that is potentially divisive among Jews, so I try to be careful with it. That example is that of a Jewish Chassidic group called Chabad, that claimed that their Rebbe (Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson, of blessed memory) at the time was the Messiah. This view did not disappear when he passed a few years later (1994), and they have their own arguments to support their claim.
While most Orthodox Jews have great reverence for the Rebbe, aside from segments of Chabad, they do not see him as the Messiah. While Chabad is sort of a stand-alone group within Orthodoxy their relationship with the rest of Orthodoxy is generally okay, and their writings are rather popular among non-Chabad Jews, while some leaders have publicly voiced concern/opposition over their Messianic stances.

I don't understand when I hear some Christians call prophet Muhammad a false prophet, but at the same time they see Paul as a true prophet and hero.
Omer Yousif - bro the teachings these people follow are the deviant teachings of Paul. The pagan who never met Jesus but made Jesus into God in the form of man.
Modern day Christianity is basically 100% Paulinity.
This Paul changed the teachings of Jesus Christ !
He was a false Apostel /Prophet - he is the real founder of Christianity
( Paulinismus ) !
They believe in 3 Gods !!!
Trinity
God - God the father
Jesus Christ- Son of God
Holy Spirit - ( Angel Gabriel 😂)
All three personalities are They’re 3-1 Gods, in the same time !
Christianity isn’t monotheistic ❗️
Only Islam is the real and 1 accepted religion for all Mankind from God !
They follow desires and not the intellect.
Basiclly it's like MLM scamming where the reward are good to be true ...just believe then your salvation are guaranteed, bring new convert then you get a reward bonus
It is easy to see why Muhammad was a false prophet:
👉 Muhammad had sexual relations with his own daughter-in-law (Surah 33:37; Bukhari: Vol. 9, Bk. 93, No. 516 - 518) in violation of the Torah (Leviticus 18:15; 20:12).
👉 Muhammad condoned the murder of children (Muslim: Bk. 19, No. 4457; Ishaq 819) in violation of the Torah (Exodus 20:13).
👉 Muhammad condoned the raping of women (Surah 4:24; 70:29-30; Muslim: Bk. 8, No. 3371, 3432, 3433; Bukhari: Vol. 8, Bk. 77, No. 600; Bukhari: Vol. 9, Bk. 93, No. 506) in violation of the Torah (Deuteronomy 22:25-27).
👉 Muhammad beat his own wife and condoned spousal abuse (Surah 4:34; Muslim: Bk. 4, No. 2127; Muslim: Bk. 9, No. 3506; Bukhari: Vol. 7, Bk. 72, No. 715; Bukhari: Vol. 8, Bk. 73, No. 68) in violation of Christ's teachings (Ephesians 5:28, 33; Colossians 3:19; 1 Peter 3:7).
👉 Muhammad condoned the murder of non-Muslims (Surah 4:89; 8:12; 9:5; Bukhari: Vol. 6, Bk. 61, No. 577; Bukhari: Vol. 9, Bk. 84, No. 57 & 58) in violation of the Torah (Genesis 9:6; Exodus 21:12; Leviticus 24:17).
👉 Muhammad broke his own vows, oaths, and/or promises (Bukhari: Vol. 8, Bk. 78, No. 618 & 619; Muslim: Bk. 15, No. 4044) in violation of the Torah (Numbers 30:2; Deuteronomy 23:21; cf. Ecclesiastes 5:4-5).
👉 Muhammad condoned lying (Ishaq 365 & 519; cf. Muslim: Bk. 4, No. 12:18; Bukhari: Vol. 1, Bk. 12, No. 795) in violation of the Torah (Leviticus 19:11).
👉 Muhammad laid with a dead woman in her grave (Kanz al-Ummal 370606 & 37067) in violation of the Torah (Numbers 19:16).
👉 Muhammad committed idolatry by erecting a black stone, groping it, and kissing it (Bukhari: Vol. 2, Bk. 26, No. 667, 673, 675, 679, 680; Muslim: Bk. 7, No. 2806, 2895, 2916) in violation of the Torah (Deuteronomy 16:22; Leviticus 26:1).
👉 Muhammad changed, abrogated or added to the scriptures (Surah 2:106; 16:101; 17:86) in violation of the Torah (Deuteronomy 4:2; 12:32; cf. Psalm 30:6).
👉 Muhammad coveted possessions (Surah 48:19) in violation of the Torah (Exodus 20:17).
👉 Muhammad hated non-Muslims (Surah 3:118; 5:51,64; 8:39; 9:29; 60:1-3) in violation of the Torah (Exodus 22:21; Leviticus 19:18,33).
👉 Muhammad gave camel meat to eat (Surah 22:36) and camel urine to drink (Bukhari: Vol. 7, Bk. 71, No. 590) in violation of the Torah (Leviticus 11:4; Deuteronomy 14:7).
👉 Muhammad put on women's garments (Bukhari 2393, 2442, 3941; Muslim 4472, 5984) in violation of the Torah (Deuteronomy 22:5).
This describes Islam: 👇
¹³ Their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips: ¹⁴ Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness: ¹⁵ Their feet are swift to shed blood: ¹⁶ Destruction and misery are in their ways: ¹⁷ And the way of peace have they not known: (Romans 3:13-17)
"There is no peace," saith my God, "to the wicked." (Isaiah 57:21)
Paul, we need to know more about the early Christians beliefs and denominations if you can help.
