Thanks for posting this presentation. This is really helpful and encouraging. I hope that we will start to see more respectful, reasoned interaction between Christians and Muslims in general.
Dr. White contributes much to the body of Christ! He is respectful of all groups and is a shining example of speaking the truth in love. That's why his comments about marriage here shock me. I'm a Christian woman, I'm over 30 and capable of social interaction with or without a device and/or social media. It has always been the desire of my heart to marry and have children, but only if it is a Christ centric relationship. I chose Christ over comfort and convenience and I'd choose Him every time. I count it all joy. That doesn't mean it's not difficult to do. It doesn't mean that no tears have been shed or no sleepless nights passed. It breaks my heart to hear a brother in Christ suggest, even jokingly, that not being married by 30 is an indication that you are doing something wrong. My sense is, those who are unfamiliar with the painful side of being a single adult Christian desiring marriage take it lightly enough to jest. The experience of single adult Christians, within the context of churches that are typically centered on family units, is challenging enough. I would have loved to marry young and have children, grand-children, great-grand-children; but, that option wasn't available to me. It is my practice to assume positive intent; so, if this comment ever makes its way to him....I just hope he will consider that to many Christians who desire marriage his words sting. I'm all for jokes, but this one did not adorn the message that he was sharing well. Grace & Peace
Amber Remba I am sorry for your pain. James White will appear to be a patient teacher to those who support him, but the more you listen to him, the more you will realize how arrogant he truly is. You are in my prayers. Be encouraged to know that you are married to Jesus. He loves you, and may very well desire to keep you all to himself. Trust him for that godly, Christ centered man that you need, and keep giving him thanks. You will be all that God wants you to be. Thank you for sharing your heart. In Jesus love, Pastor Brett
Thanks James, this was so helpful. I think that we as Christians who love people, and have a real consern for those who don't know Christ, can really do a better job understanding what Islam is. This will give us the understanding to have a good conversation with Muslims and give them the gosple with gentleness and love. (Remembering we were just as lost before God saved us)
hi iam a muslim and people like james white will go to heaven because he is honest and everything he said is actually what we beleive. He didnt even lie a single point and his criticism is positive unlike other christians. In Quran Allah has promised heaven for christian and jews but not to the hypocrites. James white has changed a lot from before now he is a true christian in my opinion. Respect each others faiths and bring harmony to the world we all came from adam. James white is my brother with all the differences.
I believe Allah is not only God of Muslims but Allah is is THE GOD of every human being. He answers whoever asks for him. Muslims will go to hellfire as well. I dont agree with your interpretation of the verses that you posted ,out of the context. I stand by what i said and i dont want to take my words back. InshAllah may Allah guide me more.
story of a prostitute have u heard it?? Its Allahs mercy who he wants to enter paradise and throw in hellfire dont become the judge become a good person first.
Jews worship one god Jehovah witness believe in one god, Mormons, u name it. There are many Catholics and protestants who believe Jesus was just a man So dont paint the brush on all of them. There are many deference of human if the message has not reached him than he will be forgiven or the wrong message came to him. I dont want to debate u further for u u have ur religion for me i have mine.
What? Who says James White will go to heaven? We don't know who will or will not go to heaven but if a Christian dies a Christian then he will go to hell.
@@starlight7499 Lol, David Wood has a doctorate in Philosophy and Religion and White has a degree from an uncredited school. You must be a Muslim because only White gives Islam a pat on their backs. David Wood, Christian Prince, Sam Shamoun, Etc.. are true apologist that exposes Islam for the false religion that it is.
@@jesuschristsaves9067 having a PhD doesn't necessarily mean you are educated. You can listen to both of them and figure out yourself . Dr white teaches Greek and Hebrew and Latin and Arabic although he is graduated from an unknown college !!! But you are right . I am a proud Muslim and I pray God save you from demonic theory of trinity and lead you to the One and only God 🙏 .
"You will surely find the most intense of the people in animosity toward the believers [to be] the Jews and those who associate others with Allah ; and you will find the nearest of them in affection to the believers those who say, "We are Christians." That is because among them are priests and monks and because they are not arrogant."
I have enjoyed listening to this talk from James White and I was surprised by the knowledge and readings he has about Islam. However, many of his misunderstandings about the Islam law because of his insufficient knowledge. He has read many books and he tried to understand them by himself without asking the specialists of Islam. As his talk about Almighty Allah's forgiveness and the prophet Mohammed's peace be upon him, it is clearly demonstrating his limitation of the knowledge. With full of respect, I hope from Dr James to question any issues he has before interpreting them. And I am sure that he is an honest person and appreciate the truth and such a man will reach it soon. Best Knowledge to all of you :)
Just a quick correction to one of the hadith Dr James quoted quickly in English. He left out an important piece (in CAPS below). ".. one of you would perform the actions of the dwellers of Jannah until there is only one cubit between him and it (Jannah), when what is foreordained would come to pass and HE WOULD PERFORM THE ACTIONS OF THE INMATES OF HELL (i.e shirk) until he would enter it. And one of you would perform the actions of the inmates of Hell, until there is only one cubit between him and Hell. THEN HE WOULD PERFORM THE ACTS OF THE DWELLERS OF JANNAH (PARADISE) until he would enter it." (that is, he repents). Hope tht clarifies. Thank you.
Thank you for that james white and another thing to the muslims we as muslims need to learn to be tolerable and respectful towards christian faith and understand it
Jesus Christ is God incarnate who came to earth to be born and live a perfect life, a sinless life. (He is one person of the Trinity, consisting of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit; one God in three persons not three Gods.) Jesus then gave Himself up to be crucified and died to pay for the sins of the whole world. My sin, your sin, the sins of everybody. 3 days later He was resurrected. He now offers salvation to all who will turn from their sin and trust Him to save them from eternity in hell. He paid our debts because we couldn't, but we have to trust Him to do it. I cannot add anything to what He has done (not even baptism). I cannot do enough good to take even a year off of my death sentence in hell. The sentence is a never ending one, because I have sinned against an eternal God. But Jesus took my punishment, He saved me, and offers that same salvation to you. I am praying for you.
@@brynnsahved3681 unfortunately all the information you just gave regarding what you believe cannot be substantiated by the Bible. In fact! The Bible will contradict all that you said.
@@FormerFetus1995 no where in the Bible does God. say or explain that Jesus is God incarnate. No where in the Bible is the trinity explained or mentioned as the three entities are ONE. So dream on
@@edbtzkhud Father, Son and Holy Spirit are all described in the Bible as being God. 3 persons, 1 being of God. If you read the Bible you can see that. Islam is a false religion that sprung up centuries after Christianity. Jesus is Lord and every one will bow the knee including you on judgement day. Your false god allah can’t save you.
"Doctor" Jay Smith is not a scholar, doesn't speak Arabic, and lies constantly. He pretends like he understands history, orthography, and linguistics. He lied about how you can't get non-halal products in the UK, and was subsequently called out for it.
9:40 I know Dr. White wasn't meaning to be offensive. I'm 30 and tried to get married in the past, but I was LDS. I chose the Bible and the true Jesus, so she broke the wedding off. So...I mean, yeah, technically I'm single and 30, but I could have either chose Mormonism and marriage or Jesus Christ and being single.
Yeah, I'm 27 and just haven't met the right one. We can't always control these things. Christian men are a lot different then your average pagan and have a far smaller pool to find someone in. He should take into consideration his audience when he says that. But I'm not triggered, just thought I should mention since you brought it up.
Darnell W. Thanks for the reply. Yup, I wasn't triggered either, was just remarking that we can't put everyone in the same box. (also, good luck to you and keep pressing on in faith, brother) Just because we are older and unmarried doesn't mean: 1) we haven't had the opportunity in the past and chose not to for varying reasons (such as my own experience), 2) it isn't something we may sincerely desire and are working toward, and/or 3) it is because of some major character flaw on our parts (immaturity, lack of desire/seriousness toward marriage, etc.). Like you said, marriage isn't like buying a tank of gasoline at a gas station and choosing between regular, premium or diesel fuel; it has multiple factors. I'm in a pretty liberal state and, for the vast majority of those who are religious, are Jewish or Catholic.
I would advise getting married while you are young for sure. I waited until I was 36 to get married ( wife is 11 years younger). The longer you wait, the harder it will be to keep up with all your kids when you get older.
I don't agree with James White at all when it comes to manifestation of Holy Spirit and the supernatural. But he is still my brother, and I appreciate his academic work and apologetic work. Keep it up.
unfortunately, anyone who has studied a bit more about islam will disagree with James on many things. A traditional islamic understanding of trinity is not what christians believe [Qur'an 5:116], for example. His misunderstanding are typical of those who don't really go deep into islam.

I found most of that useful, except the assertion toward the beginning, that prophesy ended in the early church and that this therefore necessitated that we reject all claimed prophets after Christ. All scripture after Revelations, sure, but Paul clearly states we should desire to have the gift of prophesy. Present tense.
Why does the believer need to understand Islam? Just preach the Gospel! Al-Islam is not peace; it is submission. Submit to the will of Allah or die. That is what Muhammed lived and forced upon his followers.
Hi, there is a misconception among pentecostal (of which I wad one) that the Muslims actually worship the first person of our triune God but he doesn't hear them because the only way to the father is through Christ. How do we respond to that? Thanks
(*raises hand*) David Wood is brilliant! When it comes to teaching Christians about Islam and reaching Muslims with the Gospel, he is the man. My husband and I support Acts17Apologetics on Patreon and encourage others to do so also.
he can easily manipulate Christians because Christians don't even know their own scriptures what will thry know about Islam, he doesn't let muslims comments because even he kmows how childish his arguments are
This isn't about being right or winning an argument.. this is about discovering the meaning of existence. Unfortunately, it seems most, guided by biases and presuppositions, are only interested in being right.. and will be dishonest to do that.
I have a dear friend who I love deeply born in and raised Muslim. I feel her actions are that of a true Christian. I pray for her to hear the truth about Christianity. Thank you 🙏
So James White is flexing how much he knows about Islam, (& he even read the haddiths on a bike (another flex), but you have Muslims praising him here and they have no problems with what he said. Understanding Islam is to also understand its inconsistencies, how it treats women and jihadi terrorism. Otherwise your doing what Muslim apologists do and leave out the uncomfortable parts, so Muslims go on thinking there’s nothing wrong with their religion. What did this achieve other than a surface level introduction
the different between christian ans islam is same like teaching your father how to use the computer back 80s and he only knows one way to click the mouse but after decade you try to show him many other ways to click the mouse and he told you I am gonna stick my way for clicking one way.
Sorry, forgot one more, the early Christian Church most definitely taught Jesus was the Son of God as stated in Acts 8:37, once again, in the KJV. It is completely left out in a few versions and as footnotes in others
There is no salvation in Islam. Don't take Jame's politeness for weakness. He's not an advocate for Islam and doesn't believe Muhammad was a prophet, if he did, he'd be a Muslim.
A gift for you all : _(And mention) when the angels said, ‘O Mary, indeed God gives you the good news of a word from Him, whose name will be the Messiah Jesus, the son of Mary, held in honor in this world and in the Hereafter, and of those who are near to God.’ ‘He will speak to the people in the cradle, and in old age, and he will be of the righteous.’ She said, ‘My Lord, how can I have a son when no man has touched me.’ He said, ‘So (it will be,) for God creates what He wants. When He decides something, He only says to it, ‘Be,’ and it is._ _And He will teach him the Book and wisdom and the Torah and the Gospel. And (will make him) a messenger to the Children of Israel (saying), ‘Indeed I have come to you with a sign from your Lord. I make for you out of clay the likeness of a bird, then breathe into it, and it becomes a bird by the permission of God._ _And I heal the blind and the leper, and I bring the dead to life by the permission of God. And I inform you of what you eat and what you store in your houses. Surely, there is a sign for you in that, if you are believers._ _And (I have come) confirming the Torah that was (revealed) before me, and to allow you some of what was forbidden to you._ _And I have come to you with a proof from your Lord, so fear God and obey me. Indeed, God is my Lord and your Lord, _*_so worship Him. This is the straight path_*. - Holy Quran surah 3 ayat 45-51.
Jesus Christ is God incarnate who came to earth to be born and live a perfect life, a sinless life. (He is one person of the Trinity, consisting of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit; one God in three persons not three Gods.)

How was that last part a contradiction? From what I understood it means this, someone can live a full life of righteousness that will get him into paradise, but right before he dies he commits "shirk" for example and that will grant him hellfire. The other way around someone can commit atrocious acts their whole life, but God in all his mercy, will forgive that person if they did such a righteous deed with true intentions, maybe an example being they are a millionaire and decide to give all their wealth and possessions to the poor, again that is not a perfect example but we are not God, he is the knower of all things and the true intentions of hearts. Makes perfect sense to me, there is only one God and he alone shall be worshipped.
"...Come out from among them and be ye separate saith the Lord..." I take this small portion from the greater text of 2Cor. 6:14-18. James is guilty of violating scripture with his interfaith dialogue and support of Islam. "Muslim by Choice" takes James White's videos and uses them to propagate their false doctrines of Islam. James is leading his followers into an ecumenical movement, yet he claims to be a defender of the faith. How can a minister of the gospel allow a wolf to come into his house, knowing that the wolf wants to eat his sheep? As a pastor for over 26 years, I have learned the meaning of caring for those that God has entrusted to my care. I would never allow a Muslim or any other to come in to God's house and deceive the flock of God. Paul was passionate about warning the church where false teachers are concerned (Acts 20:28-31). He constantly warned the church of "grievous wolves" coming in to deceive the flock. James White is fast becoming this grievous wolf. Beware of the ecumenical movement, for it is the foundation of the one world order and one world church. It will be governed by either Islam or Catholicism, but it is on the way, and James is fanning the flames.
Pastor Brett James White used to criticize Islam and to expose it. However he obviously spent too much time with Muslim scholars that brainwashed him. It's crazy that is more busy to defend Islam than to explain Christianity . We can't exclude that James White secretly converted to Islam and only pretends to be a Christian.
Wise Dragon I would not conclude such a thing, but James White will rip a Christian for disagreeing with him, while opening his door for Muslim's to propagate their false doctrine. He is too proud to listen to any one. All we can do is pray for him. Thanks for your comment.
Unitarian monotheism and Trinitarian monotheism. That is a new, an interesting, and usable phrase. "A person is not a being". God is One Being but with 3 Persons? Could a human Being with 3 personalities be a good liking to the Trinity concept?
Reformists would call that example you gave modalism. Because a human cannot desplay the 3 persons at once, but God can. Ofcouse, modalism is not really a insane heresy, but the reformers considered it wrong.
With all due respect, modalism is recognized as heresy. Don't want to type a long explanation here, but Modalism is the denial of God as He actually exists. The Modalist God is no more God than Allah or even some human female deity. That simply is not the God of scripture.
beautiful teaching. i am one of your strong followers. But your demeaning comments on Benny Hin is not wrong. The Holy spirit can manifest and people can be slain under the power of God!. i minister the power of God just like Benny Hinn and i see people fall under the anointing and it is in line with scripture. but You are a lovely teacher. i have been listening to you over the years
Let me give you another perspective. The Bahá’í perspective. As Baha’is we believe that God has given us an eternal covenant, that God will never leave us to our own devices. When we are in the most need of them God sends another Messenger for that time. The Messengers of God are like perfectly polished mirrors shining the light of God for that age. They all might look different from each other but they all have that same function. To reflect that one same source of light, which is Gods revelation. Their words are all one of the same, the Holy Spirit works through them to give the message of God for that specific Dispensation. But when humanity transgresses away from revelation. God sends down another, in His name to represent Him, bringing forth a book and a new revelation. In the Bahá’í Faith we call this progressive revelation. There are so many passages in the Bible that show there is a direct dichotomy between Christ’s station and God’s station. For example; it says In the Bible “Not that any man hath seen the Father, save he which is of God, he hath seen the Father”. Just one dichotomy between Christ and Gods station. The passage “I and the father are One” doesn’t mean They’re both the same entity. I can be one with my wife on thought and principle. It doesn’t mean we are exactly the same person. Now moving onto Muhammad and Islam. You have to understand something about that time and place. Muhammad didn’t come to a group of people like Christ did. He came to a group of people who were nomadic and barbaric. The pagan tribes at that time would bury their daughters in the ground for example. The whole area was ravaged by war and conflict. There was no jury or judicial court ruling system at that time (unless you lived in Mecca or Medina), what were you to do if an aggressive tribe came to your area and pillaged and raped your whole family? Just stand there and watch? No you would defend. This is one of the concepts of Jihad. To defend yourself. Christ on the other hand came to a civilised people who lived in settlements and believed in the one God. There were courts and prisons. So to conclude each time was totally different from each other. Apples and Oranges. Let me leave you with this. Baha’u’llah the Founder of the Bahá’í Faith says that religion is eternal in the past and eternal in the future. That God will send another Messenger. Like Christ, like the Buddha, Like Moses, Like Abraham Like Muhammad when we are in the most need of Them. The Contradictive thing is, as Christians you believe Christ is coming back. “I have many things to tell you but you cannot bare them now, how be it when HE the son of truth comes He will guide you until all truths, for He will take of mine and showeth unto you” John 16. Progressive revelation is the key to religion. Exclusivity and finality has caused the most wars, bloodshed and death in history. Baha’u’llah the founder of the Bahá’í Faith says this. “The All-Knowing Physician hath His finger on the pulse of mankind. He perceiveth the disease, and prescribeth, in His unerring wisdom, the remedy. Every age hath its own problem, and every soul its particular aspiration. The remedy the world needeth in its present-day afflictions can never be the same as that which a subsequent age may require. Be anxiously concerned with the needs of the age ye live in, and center your deliberations on its exigencies and requirements”
Dr James White tries to bring harmony between Christians and Muslims , unlike many Christians spouting lies and hatred towards Muslims. As for the hadith, “O Messenger of Allah! Have you availed Abu Talib in any way, as he used to protect you and show anger for your sake?” He (peace be upon him) said, “Yes, had it not been for me, he would have been in the lowest depths of Hellfire.” So, the words used , doesn't say "best place in Hell". I guess, James wanted to get a laugh from his audience.
I'm not completely sure which debate it was, but Dr White had mentioned a Q&A cross examination in which a Muslim had asked for a single verse which definitively established the doctrine of the Trinity, he responded there wasn't a single verse. However, it is quite literally stated in 1 John 5:7, but only in the KJV. I checked six other translations, and they all said other things. In addition, 1 Timothy 3:16 states that God was manifest in the flesh, but again only in the KJV. I pray these might assist you in future debates.
Jeremy Hinken thanks for sharing. James and other scholars address 1 John 5:7 and that is actually an addition to the text. Probably put there by well-meaning Trinitarians, but all evidence points to it being a later addition to the Text. I wouldn’t use that verse or consider it as part of the original, inspired text. I’d think if it as a commentary.
"People of the Book, go not beyond the bounds in your religion, and say not as to God but the truth. The Messiah, Jesus son of Mary, was only the Messenger of God, and His Word that He committed to Mary, and a Spirit from Him. So believe in God and His Messengers, and say not, 'Three.' Refrain; better is it for you. God is only one God. Glory be to Him - (He is) above having a son."
Good verse, it proves the quran is false. Christians have never said there are three gods. The Bible is quite clear that there is one God. And yet your verse Sura 4:171 says that the People of the Book are saying there are three gods. If the quran was written by "Allah" , how did he get that so wrong? Answer, because the author of the quran (aka Mohd) did not know what Christians really believed.
Context. The verse itself explains it and does not need any guessing. After all, the quran claims to be clear...... "say not, 'Three.' " Three what? The verse itself explains : " . God is only one God" In the context of the verse, Allah thought the Christians were saying three gods and tries to refute something that is not claimed/believed. He got it wrong, hence the quran is not from God. That's it in a nutshell. The verse is explicit in talking about "one God", not about persons.
Ask you self three what lol don't you know my dear three what .......after say one not three ...what what that Christians make silly of themselves ...worshiping a man and say he is god in disguise ...then decide that he is three ..and then ask Muslims three what ..Jesus pbuh is ashamed of YOU you paul followers.
Your logic can be applied to a Muslim reading the Bible. We can sit and nitpick why you don't understand this or why we don't understand that. At the end of the day I really wish Muslims and Christians would get along. Yes we have different beliefs but in the world we are in we have so many moral beliefs to be the same. We both dislike the immorality of the world and see how destructive it is.
@@TheDeeStain i respect your opinion. The thing is i have not read the bible as there are so many versions . I do have the knowledge of trinity , 10 commandments and christian doctrine of original sin. This i didnt learn from some Muslim scholar saying they know all about Christianity , i learned it from fellow christian friend at work . Moreover Quran is the only book that confirms Jesus PBUH as the messenger and the virgin birth. Quran is the only religion that confirms the God of Jesus , Muhammad , Mosses , Isac , Ishmael. Jon , Noah, Elijah PBUT is the same . If you truly want to understand the commonalities Quran is the book . You would be amazed how much it is written by fellow people of the book . Dont learn Islam from these people do it yourself thats all i advise as my fellow people of book. Ask Muslims around you.
So the main problem between Christians and Muslims is that muslims are still holding a grudge against the ONE and only TRUE God. Why ? Because God blessed Isaac with the birthright instead of Ishmael. This is how the teaching of calvinism is so wrong and dangerous. So since James White your a calvinist. God desided not to bless Ishmael with the promise aka the birthright. God choose that from Isaac's Heritage that Jesus Christ would be born from. Why beause Jesus Christ was the elected before the foundation of the world. Isaiah 42:1 Behold my servant, whom I uphold; mine ELECT, in whom my soul delighteth; I have put my SPIRIT upon him: he shall bring forth judgment to the Gentiles. Isaiah 42:1 1 Peter 1:2-5 ELECT according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through sanctification of the SPIRIT, unto obedience and sprinkling of the BLOOD of JESUS CHRIST: Grace unto you, and peace, be multiplied. Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant MERCY hath BEGOTTEN us again unto a lively HOPE by the RESURRECTION of Jesus Christ from the dead, To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, RESERVED in heaven for you, Who are KEPT by the power of God through FAITH unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time. 1 Peter 1:2-5 1 Peter 1:19-23 But with the precious BLOOD of Christ, as of a lamb without BLEMISH and without SPOT: Who verily was foreordained BEFORE the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you, Who by him do BELIEVE in God, that raised him up from the dead, and GAVE him glory; that your FAITH and hope might be in God. Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently: Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever. 1 Peter 1:19-23 As well as that Ishmael and his mother were sent away by Abraham. Why? Because of their actions. Genesis 21:8-13 And the child grew, and was weaned: and Abraham made a great feast the same day that Isaac was weaned. And Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, which she had born unto Abraham, mocking. Wherefore she said unto Abraham, Cast out this bondwoman and her son: for the son of this bondwoman shall not be heir with my son, even with Isaac. And the thing was very grievous in Abraham's sight because of his son. And God said unto Abraham, Let it not be grievous in thy sight because of the lad, and because of thy bondwoman; in all that Sarah hath said unto thee, hearken unto her voice; for in Isaac shall thy seed be called. And also of the son of the bondwoman will I make a nation, because he is thy seed. I ask you Muslims did God or not make ishmael's descendants a great nation? Also I asked in the Muslim religion what if a man would have a child with a woman that is not his wife what would happen to that woman and her child?
Those who believe we are saved and by believing in Christ risen and us forgiven, are sealed in the Holy Spirit until the day of our redemption - which comes with our death and departure from this failed earth, and our fleshly, sinful bodies - saved, yet awaiting such with great promise and hopeful expectation, while now, contending that faith (not to prove our faith, but to share it, the good news, Christ is risen from the grave and paid for our sins, and WHOSOEVER believes that shall not perish, for he paid in full our price to the kingdom of God forever, his blood, his death, proving God's great love for us, that his only begotten Son might die for us, that we be SAVED - (Ephesians 1:12-14): "12That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ. 13 In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise, 14 Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory;" Dr. White's attemps here (God love him), to explicate why those who do not believe in Jesus Christ, do not, because he is trying to see it from their side (God love him) are honorable; yet, they hate, persecute, and despise others who do not believe as they do, which is entirely contradictory to what Jesus commands we do with our enemies (Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute us and depitefully use us." - WHY? Because they do not have the peace of Christ in them, that their lives are secure with the payment he made full on the cross, which Muslims deny happened and we hope and pray they do. I hope and pray his intention is such that he believes he can be instrumental in as many as can, come to a saving faith in Jesus Christ, and this is a noble cause; yet, I hope he is not so blinded that he might believe otherwise - which, only God knows his heart (God love him); for, what is written in Revelation 19:19 shall certainly come to pass, as all the prophecies in the Bible have come, and the Word cannot lie against itself, and the Word came in to this world, and became flesh, alive in Jesus Christ, who died for our sins, and came so that whosoever believes in him shall not perish, but have eternal life, and not suffer Hell forevermore, not the fate of those in the coming, final battle: "19 And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army." Put your trust in Jesus Christ, who explicity said: ""Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword," - which is the Word of God, by which all, when hearing, either accept as true or do not. It is not complicated - be prepared for the terrible day of the Lord Jesus Christ, King of Kings, Lord of Lords, and turn your life over to him. He has already forgiven you of all your sins - past, present and future ones. So be glad of that, persevere in that faith - the Christian faith, and nothing shall separate you from the love of God, as Paul so well stated in Romans 8:38-39: "38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, 39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord."
The understanding of Quran being eternal is similar to the understanding of the wisdom of God being eternal along with his foreknowledge. It is not a separate unit that needed to be identify as another divine unit coequal with God. There is a misunderstanding that the emphasis on law or sharia when Muslims grew in numbers was for the pursuit of Islamic political domination. It is hard to understand the motive for James mentioning this other than to challenge the incoherence of the overall message of the Quran or the intention of the Prophet of Islam. The introduction of Quranic jurisprudence served as a legal framework for the new community that were establishing themselves away from the tribal and violent culture surrounding them. In America, our early founders chartered the constitution as a necessity to bring stability and justice for the people of the country. He mentioned that Islam came to the west and brought its cultural trappings. This is a deliberate error by ignoring the fact that people of different cultures brought their own cultural trappings wherever there migrate and not necessarily a culture that are espoused by the religion per se. Arabic culture has been around longer than the religion of Islam. Although James White has come a long way distancing himself from far right wing self-declared Islamic expert such as David Wood, he still has a lot of misconceptions about Islam that he used to his advantage in promoting Christianity.
james white said "arabic is divine language". not true! i know he didnt mean to misrepresent islam, but it is wrong, the qur'an was revealed in arabic because the prophet was arabic. [041:044] Had We sent this as a Quran (in the language) other than Arabic, they would have said: "Why are not its verses explained in detail? What! (a Book) not in Arabic and (a Messenger an Arab)?" i havent finished the video after this comment, but i guess there are more mistakes.
@J Mireles With the greatest of respect Jonah did not debate - he just gave the message that God gave him. Confronting people about their sin is very different to debate.
Because the more we remain silent, the more censorships be put in place. The more censorships we have, the more our free speech gets taken away. The more restrictive of our free speech, the more we will talk pass each other rather than engage with one another. The more we talk pass one another, the more volatile we become towards each other. And the more people like you that's advocating against dialogue and debate, the more we compromise and the more we compromise each other's faith is the moment we stop searching for the truth.
1. That is only due to birth rates, not conversion. 2. That is not an argument for it's truth. Nazism was the largest growing political philosophy in Germany in the 1930s, did that make it true?
Get out with your stupid Allah, the only God that we believe in is God the creator, whether it's the Christian God or not, but we don't have those answers, yet.
Shadowscholar So i assume you're a Muslim, that's why you're obviously a zealot. And who's God or "One" are you talking about that created us. What about the Christian God or the Jewish God. Don't be so brainwashed.
James White is actually misinterpreting 0r better misunderstanding the meaning of the hadith. I advice anyone who wants to investigate, for example, take the last hadith of the person who does all his life good and enters hellfire. The meaning is completely different from what James says.For example, If a person does good his entire life but at the end he/she rejects God and starts worshiping a stone (for example) all of his good deeds will be deleted and he enters hell. Similarly, if a person does bad deeds all his/her life but before he/she dies repents and seeks forgiveness he should know that God is the most merciful. There is nothing arbitrary as James claims.
Jesus said : _And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is _*_One Lord_* - Mark 12:29 . Who is Jesus referring to? a) God Almighty. b) Jesus. c) Holy Ghost. d) all of the above.
Wise Dragon David wood also speak 95 prcent about islam than christianity. Except david wood speak negative stuff and stimulate hatred. Thats why television dont want to support him anymore. Christianity is full of hatred.
+Wise Dragon well I grew up on the Catholic faith and have left it not too long ago sinec I've watched and learned from many former ex Catholics that left Catholicism but are still Christian because of the corruption and politics that the Vatican has over the religion.
He doesn't. I wish he would talk about Islam more. It's good to be knowledgeable. If you just want to be a layman just go to church. Why listen to scholars unless you want to know these things
He has studied ALL of Yasir Qadi's Hadith studies, he has taken upon himself the task of slowly learning Arabic, has studied the Qur'an for over a decade, what else do you want?
Like what? Something you have done? Why is it that EVERY Muslim scholar who has read What Every Christian Needs to Know About the Qur'an has agreed that he was fair with the material? White has devoted SOOOO much time to Islam in the past decade, and gone to great lengths to understand it.
"EVERY Muslim scholar who has read What Every Christian Needs to Know About the Qur'an has agreed that he was fair with the material?" This is simply not true! James has a great ability to deceive people by showing his false , ability to engage with others while he's just a preacher for us. He says he read Bukhari and Muslim while he is riding his bicycle to just know what kind of men he is ! Islam is not mormonism, Christian philosophers themselves know what Islam is in the sense of greatness I've not ever seen any christian who engages with the depth about Islam as muslim debaters do with christianity. Christians' level is low. I mean & after all, muslims are the pioneers in this discipline from days of Ibn Hazm or Al Ghazali
Mr James White is a hypocrite. He onced criticized Islam for it's violence and now he defends Islam. I don't trust this man, he lost all his credibility.
Christians are 'losing badly' at Speakers corner at the hands of Muslim debaters: why haven't you or Jeff Durbin ever taken on debaters like Muhammad Hijab or Hamza or Ali Dawah ?
We do believe the real Quran are only the ones in Arabic. But that doesn't mean Arabic is divine. The reason we think the real Quran is only in Arabic simply because God revealed it in Arabic... translation can make a mistake since a word can has many different meanings so a translator might not translate the way God has meant it. But the Arabic ones will always have the original message of God the way He wants it. Also you can not get the same feel of linguistic beauty of the Quran by reading translation...I'm talking about rhymes, word precision etc. Muslim believe the very precise words that used in Quran is in itself proof of its truthfulness...
Anonymous Lurker I think there are a much simpler explanation..if Muslims and others alike clearly understood the Quran we will see that it is obviously a fraud. So to make it more difficult to access for the common people they force them to read it in a very hard to understand language, so relatively a small group can read and interpret the texts for the masses.
As a Calvinist James believe and teaches many biblical errors and misinterpretions (specially concerning the Gospel of Jesus Christ and the character and person of the Father) but as a scholar As a Calvinist James believe and teaches many biblical errors and misinterpretions (specially concerning the Gospel of Jesus Christ and the character and person of the Father) but as a scholar and debater he is pretty good I must say! debater he is pretty good I must say!
Islam real simple, has Muhammad's words in the Quran been corrupted, "No" has the Bible been corrupted, "Yes". so God only has one prophet in all the world and time that hasn't been corrupted. then you get a blank look. just walk away, just walk away. they will follow and ask or go struggle with that seed you just planted. we workers God gives growth. God will gather his sheep, it's not our job to save it's our job to declare truth, God/Jesus is the only Savior, the only Redeemer. He has to take that heart of stone out. peace love and Jesus Christ
7:21 there's nothing that logically necessitates that prophets can not come after Jesus from Hebrews 1:1-2. All it claims is 1) God spoke by prophets in the past, and 2) God spoke in the then-current era by Jesus. Both of those statements are true, yet there's nothing there that implies that God will or did not continue to speak by prophets after Jesus. Consider the difference between the following statements: 1) No one has ever been to Mars 2) No one will ever go to Mars See how they are saying different things? Hebrews says God spoke through Jesus. And that's true, just like it's true that no one has been to Mars. Yet that doesn't mean that no one will ever go to Mars (in fact, NASA has a goal for a manned mission to Mars by 2030). A statement about what has transpired is not a statement about what will transpire in the future. You'll note that the scripture in Hebrews doesn't say anything about how God *will* speak in the future. In fact, James White's position is somewhat absurd. Is not scripture itself the words of God speaking to us through apostles rather than Jesus? Did not Paul himself only begin his ministry wherein he spoke authoritatively for God only after Christ had come and gone? And this is why you need to be very careful about who you trust to teach you scripture. James White has demonstrably drawn invalid conclusions from Hebrews 1, which means that his doctrine on the subject is invalid as well.
"there's nothing that logically necessitates that prophets can not come after Jesus from Hebrews 1:1-2. All it claims is 1) God spoke by prophets in the past, and 2) God spoke in the then-current era by Jesus." If Hebrews didn't also say "His Son" (which you left out) (Whom in the book of Hebrews is called God, Lord who created the heavens and the earth, etc, you might have a point. As it stands, and has always stood, Islam rejects Jesus' idea fo Him being the Son of God. Allah is a Father to no one. There is no "the Father" which Jesus almost exclusively referred to God as. There is no "THE Son".
All I did was replace "His Son" for "Jesus", clearly indicating the assumption that Jesus is the Son of God. Furthermore, my point was not about whether or not Jesus is the Son of God, so that is irrelevant anyways.
Yes. U r right. Jesus; Watch out for false prophets Disciples: How can we recognize the true prophet? Jesus; By his fruits That means Jesus saying there would be prophets coming after Jesus was gone.
Not sure about God shrinking the world part but rest of what he said is true. However he greatly misunderstands the meaning due to his Christian world view. There's a fundamental misunderstanding in that we are a creation and God is a creator, we are at his mercy and heaven and hell are waiting and God is patient. The power dynamic is that we are here to obey and worship, to pray to someone else is to invite shirk. Apart from the lord everything else In the universe use his creation and not worthy of worship. Hope that makes sense.
Allaah's Forgiveness is not arbitrary in the way you claim it is. The predication is that you are upon Tawheed and not Shirk. Then it can be determined based on sincerity. There is not need for a man to be claimed to be God's son for forgiveness. Your study of Islam has led you nowhere.
James White you debate muslism yet they believe as John Calvin did. [“No, he has foreordained everything ‘after the counsel of his will’: the moving of a finger, the beating of a heart, the laughter of agirl, the mistake of a typist - even sin.” Calvinist Edwin Palmer, The Five Points of Calvinist] Muslim creedal statements: • God Most High is the Creator of all actions of His creatures whether of unbelief or belief, of obedience or of rebellion: all of them are by the Will of God and His sentence and His conclusion and His decreeing. Cragg, The Call of the Minaret 60-61 • God’s one possible quality is His power to create good or evil at any time He wishes, i.e. His decree… Both good things and evil things are the results of God’s decree. It is the duty of every Muslim to believe this… It is he who causes harm and good. Rather the good works ofsome and the evil of others are signs that God wishes to punish some and to reward others… if God wishes to draw someone close to Himself, then He will give him the grace which will make that person do good works. If He wishes to reject someone and put that person to shame then He will create sin in him. God creates all things, good and evil. God creates people as well as their actions: He created you as well as what you do. (Qur’an 37:94) A few quotes from the Qur’an that could have very well come from Reformed Theology: Qur’an 3:145 No person can ever die except by the permission of Allah, the term being fixed as by writing. Qur’an 48:14 To Allah belongs the sovereignty of the heavens and the earth: He forgives whom He wills, and He punishes whom He pleases. Qur’an 64:11 No calamity occurs, no affliction comes, except by the decision and preordainment of Allah. Surah 16:53 And whatever favor is (bestowed) on you it is from Allah; then when evil afflicts you, to Him do you cry for aid. Surah 57:22-23 No evil befalls on the earth nor in your own souls, but it is in a book before We bring it into existence; surely that is easy to Allah: So that you may not grieve for what has escaped you, nor be exultant at what He has given you; and Allah does not love any arrogant boaster
It's amazing how well read and smart he can appear to be concerning Christianity, yet put him up against Steve Ray, John Bergsma, or Scott Hahn and i have to start wondering who is correct...really makes one ponder the truth.
A Christian educating others about Islam, with No ONE able to dispute his erroneous facts. And the audience doesn't see the problem with that. At least bring a Muslim scholar.
If a parent raises a child in a home with love and good morals and the child becomes a serial killer, do you blame the parent for that??? On the other hand, if a parent beats the child, drinks and teaches the child that stealing and taking and beating and abusing others is ok then yes, you can blame the parent. Jesus himself taught love, pure morals, and he was God and taught things very different than the people that did things in the midieval times and other periods that were horrific in the name of christianity. However, Mohammed himself was a man of violence and bad morals and taught that it was ok to take and kill when it served a purpose. There is a serious difference in the teachings of the leaders to the "children" of the faiths.
Just proclaim the gospel, you don't need to know much about other religions, waste of time. I hardly acknowledge others' religions, doctrines of demons. It's not through reason, it's to share Christ; preach the cross! Ray Comfort does well.
@@raysonraypay5885 I see Apologia studios featuring his title from a diploma mill, so your words question Dr. White being a real christian, he would be otherwise not boasting a false title.
The quran gets the trinity wrong because Mohd did not understand the Trinity. You mistake unitarianism for monotheism, a categorical error. Christians are monotheists (one God), God has revealed himself in three persons (Trinity). One what, three who; different categories. Any analogy to try to explain the Trinity is going to fall short. You cannot explain something with an analogy when that something is completely "other", completely unique, and outside our comprehension. The only way we can have a bit of understanding is if God himself reveals those things to us, which He has in the Holy Bible. Not in the quran.
No, Christians do not assume the quran gets the Trinity wrong because of the way Christians interpret their doctrine. Christians know the quran gets the Trinity wrong by the way the quran itself tries to explain the Trinity. It is completely wrong. The Trinity is just a few of the things the quran gets wrong. The quran could be described as a mashup book itself. Mohd did not understand what Christians believed and he got many of the Biblical stories and accounts wrong. If the quran was from God then why so many mistakes? You do not understand the difference between monotheism and unitarianism. They are different categories. You are confusing the two. Muslims assume unitarian without being able to prove it. The Bible is the authoritative Word of God and God has revealed Himself (monothiesism) in Three Persons (Trinity).
a second-grade Jewish student would tell you trinity is blasphemy. man-made idea against all the teachings of Jesus. it is Paul and John idea, not Jesus. christians, for the most part, follow Paul not Jesus, Jesus said oh Israel your GOD LORD IS ONE. full stop, this would have been the chance to explain the Trinity, he should have explained it not PSUL or other gospel writers. those writers not even profits none of them.
just reading the comments goes to show the kind of following Dr James white has.. the christian version of salafis.. most likely not very educated and very far right.. I'm seeing promotion of David wood and people who havnt got a clue what islam is.. this just shows the gap in yasir qadhi and James white.. you didn't get these comments on yasir qadhis page and if you did not to this level.. James white sort your audience out
why do christians think they have to give up the love for christ, if they accept islam, when he is a great prophet of islam, and revered in the Qur'an in so many places. you just call him a great prophet rather then god or son of god.
Haroun Abdullah Because eye-witnesses heard Him say it. Who am I going to believe? The eye-witnesses who heard and knew Jesus personally or some guy who lived 600 years later who couldn't read or write who said he was visited by an angel all alone with no one around to back up his story. Every cult in the world begins with one person by themselves being visited by an angel or a god and then BOOM! New religion invented. Islam is no different than every other cult in the world.
underground0331 slow down might want to pick up some brain cells there. firstly how exactly do you know they where eye witnesses you weren't there you are just told so. they never claim to be eye witnesses and according to biblical scholars such as bart ehrman they are not eye witnesses how could they be the gospel of John was written 90 years after Jesus. secondly how do you know it wasn't forged . the Bible has a history of forged versus such as 1st John 5:7 and others just listen to biblical scholars you can't be using it as if it is a fact if it is probable that it is a forgery or not Historically correct. Thirdly the angel visited Mary alone to tell her about Jesus and boom a religion was born so if your going to judge Islam by that logic implement it on Christianity aswell and good day sir
Haroun Abdullah That only goes to show how in depth your scholarship is if you refer to Ehrman as a source. I've got better things to do with my life than go back and forth with you over a subject that has long been proven to be true (my position). Again, who will I choose? A plethora of eye-witnesses or some psychopath conman in a cave 600 years later? I'm gonna have to go with the eye-witnesses who claimed to be eye-witnesses.
Dear James White, There is no authority above and beyond the God. God have the power everything and God have authority to forgives whom HE wants, because forgiving HIS nature, however should God demanded killing Jesus for mercy and salvation of humanity which then it violates God's own nature, as God has to honor evil killing Jesus, God has to endorse the evil killing Jesus, God has to frame the evil killing Jesus, God has to participate in the evil killing Jesus and God has to accept the evil killing Jesus who is a blameless prophet of the God. This seem to be me, God is shooting HIM self in the foot by violating HIS nature when God can forgives those who deserve the to be forgiven without violating HIS nature. Therefore Islam makes far more sense those who are logical. King James Bible Hosea 6:6 For I desired mercy, and not sacrifice; and the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings.
Rizwan Rafeek Sorry, but this is so much against the Old Testament if we read it in context. God cannot just forgive in the OT without atonement (Hebr 9:22, Leviticus 4:35, 5:10). Hosea 6:6 talk about the priority of law´s moral standards over the ceremonial requirements (Matt 9:13, 1Sam 15:22, Mic 6:6-8).

Thanks for posting this presentation. This is really helpful and encouraging. I hope that we will start to see more respectful, reasoned interaction between Christians and Muslims in general.
Zac Slade you are deceived by James White. He used to attack Islam for being violent and antichristian.
Dr. White contributes much to the body of Christ! He is respectful of all groups and is a shining example of speaking the truth in love. That's why his comments about marriage here shock me. I'm a Christian woman, I'm over 30 and capable of social interaction with or without a device and/or social media. It has always been the desire of my heart to marry and have children, but only if it is a Christ centric relationship. I chose Christ over comfort and convenience and I'd choose Him every time. I count it all joy. That doesn't mean it's not difficult to do. It doesn't mean that no tears have been shed or no sleepless nights passed. It breaks my heart to hear a brother in Christ suggest, even jokingly, that not being married by 30 is an indication that you are doing something wrong. My sense is, those who are unfamiliar with the painful side of being a single adult Christian desiring marriage take it lightly enough to jest. The experience of single adult Christians, within the context of churches that are typically centered on family units, is challenging enough. I would have loved to marry young and have children, grand-children, great-grand-children; but, that option wasn't available to me. It is my practice to assume positive intent; so, if this comment ever makes its way to him....I just hope he will consider that to many Christians who desire marriage his words sting. I'm all for jokes, but this one did not adorn the message that he was sharing well. Grace & Peace
Amber Remba
I am sorry for your pain. James White will appear to be a patient teacher to those who support him, but the more you listen to him, the more you will realize how arrogant he truly is. You are in my prayers. Be encouraged to know that you are married to Jesus. He loves you, and may very well desire to keep you all to himself. Trust him for that godly, Christ centered man that you need, and keep giving him thanks. You will be all that God wants you to be. Thank you for sharing your heart.
In Jesus love,
Pastor Brett
I am a muslim i advice you to excuse your Christian brother...like prophet Mohammad said you can find 70 excuses for your brother
Thanks James, this was so helpful. I think that we as Christians who love people, and have a real consern for those who don't know Christ, can really do a better job understanding what Islam is. This will give us the understanding to have a good conversation with Muslims and give them the gosple with gentleness and love. (Remembering we were just as lost before God saved us)
hi iam a muslim and people like james white will go to heaven because he is honest and everything he said is actually what we beleive. He didnt even lie a single point and his criticism is positive unlike other christians. In Quran Allah has promised heaven for christian and jews but not to the hypocrites. James white has changed a lot from before now he is a true christian in my opinion. Respect each others faiths and bring harmony to the world we all came from adam. James white is my brother with all the differences.
Maalik Islam good info brother
I believe Allah is not only God of Muslims but Allah is is THE GOD of every human being. He answers whoever asks for him. Muslims will go to hellfire as well. I dont agree with your interpretation of the verses that you posted ,out of the context. I stand by what i said and i dont want to take my words back. InshAllah may Allah guide me more.
story of a prostitute have u heard it?? Its Allahs mercy who he wants to enter paradise and throw in hellfire dont become the judge become a good person first.
Jews worship one god Jehovah witness believe in one god, Mormons, u name it. There are many Catholics and protestants who believe Jesus was just a man So dont paint the brush on all of them. There are many deference of human if the message has not reached him than he will be forgiven or the wrong message came to him. I dont want to debate u further for u u have ur religion for me i have mine.
What? Who says James White will go to heaven? We don't know who will or will not go to heaven but if a Christian dies a Christian then he will go to hell.

Amazing video, thank you! I am South African and believe in the Trinity as do most of us :)
I have enjoyed listening to this talk from James White and I was surprised by the knowledge and readings he has about Islam. However, many of his misunderstandings about the Islam law because of his insufficient knowledge. He has read many books and he tried to understand them by himself without asking the specialists of Islam. As his talk about Almighty Allah's forgiveness and the prophet Mohammed's peace be upon him, it is clearly demonstrating his limitation of the knowledge.
With full of respect, I hope from Dr James to question any issues he has before interpreting them. And I am sure that he is an honest person and appreciate the truth and such a man will reach it soon.
Best Knowledge to all of you :)
Just a quick correction to one of the hadith Dr James quoted quickly in English. He left out an important piece (in CAPS below). ".. one of you would perform the actions of the dwellers of Jannah until there is only one cubit between him and it (Jannah), when what is foreordained would come to pass and HE WOULD PERFORM THE ACTIONS OF THE INMATES OF HELL (i.e shirk) until he would enter it. And one of you would perform the actions of the inmates of Hell, until there is only one cubit between him and Hell. THEN HE WOULD PERFORM THE ACTS OF THE DWELLERS OF JANNAH (PARADISE) until he would enter it." (that is, he repents). Hope tht clarifies. Thank you.
Thank you for that james white and another thing to the muslims we as muslims need to learn to be tolerable and respectful towards christian faith and understand it
Jesus Christ is God incarnate who came to earth to be born and live a perfect life, a sinless life. (He is one person of the Trinity, consisting of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit; one God in three persons not three Gods.) Jesus then gave Himself up to be crucified and died to pay for the sins of the whole world. My sin, your sin, the sins of everybody. 3 days later He was resurrected. He now offers salvation to all who will turn from their sin and trust Him to save them from eternity in hell. He paid our debts because we couldn't, but we have to trust Him to do it. I cannot add anything to what He has done (not even baptism). I cannot do enough good to take even a year off of my death sentence in hell. The sentence is a never ending one, because I have sinned against an eternal God. But Jesus took my punishment, He saved me, and offers that same salvation to you. I am praying for you.

Dr White, a vessel of the Spirit, as always. Soli Deo gloria!
9:40 I know Dr. White wasn't meaning to be offensive. I'm 30 and tried to get married in the past, but I was LDS. I chose the Bible and the true Jesus, so she broke the wedding off. So...I mean, yeah, technically I'm single and 30, but I could have either chose Mormonism and marriage or Jesus Christ and being single.
I'm sure you will find someone who shares the same love for Jesus soon :)
Yeah, I'm 27 and just haven't met the right one. We can't always control these things. Christian men are a lot different then your average pagan and have a far smaller pool to find someone in. He should take into consideration his audience when he says that. But I'm not triggered, just thought I should mention since you brought it up.
Darnell W.
Thanks for the reply. Yup, I wasn't triggered either, was just remarking that we can't put everyone in the same box. (also, good luck to you and keep pressing on in faith, brother)
Just because we are older and unmarried doesn't mean:
1) we haven't had the opportunity in the past and chose not to for varying reasons (such as my own experience),
2) it isn't something we may sincerely desire and are working toward,
and/or
3) it is because of some major character flaw on our parts (immaturity, lack of desire/seriousness toward marriage, etc.).
Like you said, marriage isn't like buying a tank of gasoline at a gas station and choosing between regular, premium or diesel fuel; it has multiple factors. I'm in a pretty liberal state and, for the vast majority of those who are religious, are Jewish or Catholic.
I would advise getting married while you are young for sure. I waited until I was 36 to get married ( wife is 11 years younger). The longer you wait, the harder it will be to keep up with all your kids when you get older.
Daric God is able to find the right spouse. Ask and seek his wisdom for the right person who loves the Lord and will love you for you.
I don't agree with James White at all when it comes to manifestation of Holy Spirit and the supernatural. But he is still my brother, and I appreciate his academic work and apologetic work. Keep it up.
unfortunately, anyone who has studied a bit more about islam will disagree with James on many things. A traditional islamic understanding of trinity is not what christians believe [Qur'an 5:116], for example. His misunderstanding are typical of those who don't really go deep into islam.

I found most of that useful, except the assertion toward the beginning, that prophesy ended in the early church and that this therefore necessitated that we reject all claimed prophets after Christ. All scripture after Revelations, sure, but Paul clearly states we should desire to have the gift of prophesy. Present tense.
Why does the believer need to understand Islam? Just preach the Gospel! Al-Islam is not peace; it is submission. Submit to the will of Allah or die. That is what Muhammed lived and forced upon his followers.
Serious question, how is that any different from love god or burn in hell?

Hi, there is a misconception among pentecostal (of which I wad one) that the Muslims actually worship the first person of our triune God but he doesn't hear them because the only way to the father is through Christ. How do we respond to that? Thanks
I love Dr. White. I wish all our Muslim friends out there will leave Islam for Jesus. ❤❤❤✝️✝️✝️
Anyone hear listen go Acts17Apologetics/David Wood? :D 👋
(*raises hand*)
David Wood is brilliant! When it comes to teaching Christians about Islam and reaching Muslims with the Gospel, he is the man. My husband and I support Acts17Apologetics on Patreon and encourage others to do so also.
That nigga is mentally ill (im not tryna be rude or hateful)
he can easily manipulate Christians because Christians don't even know their own scriptures what will thry know about Islam, he doesn't let muslims comments because even he kmows how childish his arguments are
my favourite debate of his is with guy names ali ataie
he won't tell you about this
This isn't about being right or winning an argument.. this is about discovering the meaning of existence. Unfortunately, it seems most, guided by biases and presuppositions, are only interested in being right.. and will be dishonest to do that.
I have a dear friend who I love deeply born in and raised Muslim. I feel her actions are that of a true Christian. I pray for her to hear the truth about Christianity. Thank you 🙏
So James White is flexing how much he knows about Islam, (& he even read the haddiths on a bike (another flex), but you have Muslims praising him here and they have no problems with what he said. Understanding Islam is to also understand its inconsistencies, how it treats women and jihadi terrorism. Otherwise your doing what Muslim apologists do and leave out the uncomfortable parts, so Muslims go on thinking there’s nothing wrong with their religion. What did this achieve other than a surface level introduction
Right

the different between christian ans islam is same like teaching your father how to use the computer back 80s and he only knows one way to click the mouse but after decade you try to show him many other ways to click the mouse and he told you I am gonna stick my way for clicking one way.
LOOLL @ the fact that james white still didnt wanna take up the opportunity to debate Christian Prince and prove to him that ISIS is not islam
Sorry, forgot one more, the early Christian Church most definitely taught Jesus was the Son of God as stated in Acts 8:37, once again, in the KJV. It is completely left out in a few versions and as footnotes in others

muhammed was one of the worst people ever
There is no salvation in Islam.
Don't take Jame's politeness for weakness.
He's not an advocate for Islam and doesn't believe Muhammad was a prophet, if he did, he'd be a Muslim.
So if Islam is the truth religion Jesus is a false a prophet.
A gift for you all : _(And mention) when the angels said, ‘O Mary, indeed God gives you the good news of a word from Him, whose name will be the Messiah Jesus, the son of Mary, held in honor in this world and in the Hereafter, and of those who are near to God.’ ‘He will speak to the people in the cradle, and in old age, and he will be of the righteous.’ She said, ‘My Lord, how can I have a son when no man has touched me.’ He said, ‘So (it will be,) for God creates what He wants. When He decides something, He only says to it, ‘Be,’ and it is._
_And He will teach him the Book and wisdom and the Torah and the Gospel. And (will make him) a messenger to the Children of Israel (saying), ‘Indeed I have come to you with a sign from your Lord. I make for you out of clay the likeness of a bird, then breathe into it, and it becomes a bird by the permission of God._
_And I heal the blind and the leper, and I bring the dead to life by the permission of God. And I inform you of what you eat and what you store in your houses. Surely, there is a sign for you in that, if you are believers._
_And (I have come) confirming the Torah that was (revealed) before me, and to allow you some of what was forbidden to you._
_And I have come to you with a proof from your Lord, so fear God and obey me. Indeed, God is my Lord and your Lord, _*_so worship Him. This is the straight path_*. - Holy Quran surah 3 ayat 45-51.
This is plagiarism of the Bible. Nothing to be proud of.
@@Kat-fw5jo How? You can’t prove.
Jesus Christ is God incarnate who came to earth to be born and live a perfect life, a sinless life. (He is one person of the Trinity, consisting of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit; one God in three persons not three Gods.) Jesus then gave Himself up to be crucified and died to pay for the sins of the whole world. My sin, your sin, the sins of everybody. 3 days later He was resurrected. He now offers salvation to all who will turn from their sin and trust Him to save them from eternity in hell. He paid our debts because we couldn't, but we have to trust Him to do it. I cannot add anything to what He has done (not even baptism). I cannot do enough good to take even a year off of my death sentence in hell. The sentence is a never ending one, because I have sinned against an eternal God. But Jesus took my punishment, He saved me, and offers that same salvation to you. I am praying for you.
@@mcshakatar9866now that s a good one.
@@ancadan9935 I’m waiting for proof to this day.
How was that last part a contradiction? From what I understood it means this, someone can live a full life of righteousness that will get him into paradise, but right before he dies he commits "shirk" for example and that will grant him hellfire. The other way around someone can commit atrocious acts their whole life, but God in all his mercy, will forgive that person if they did such a righteous deed with true intentions, maybe an example being they are a millionaire and decide to give all their wealth and possessions to the poor, again that is not a perfect example but we are not God, he is the knower of all things and the true intentions of hearts. Makes perfect sense to me, there is only one God and he alone shall be worshipped.
Exactly
"So I need to thank God he hasn't sent me to hell yet?" ...."Yes Sir."
"...Come out from among them and be ye separate saith the Lord..." I take this small portion from the greater text of
2Cor. 6:14-18. James is guilty of violating scripture with his interfaith dialogue and support of Islam. "Muslim by Choice" takes James White's videos and uses them to propagate their false doctrines of Islam. James is leading his followers into an ecumenical movement, yet he claims to be a defender of the faith. How can a minister of the gospel allow a wolf to come into his house, knowing that the wolf wants to eat his sheep? As a pastor for over 26 years, I have learned the meaning of caring for those that God has entrusted to my care. I would never allow a Muslim or any other to come in to God's house and deceive the flock of God. Paul was passionate about warning the church where false teachers are concerned (Acts 20:28-31). He constantly warned the church of "grievous wolves" coming in to deceive the flock. James White is fast becoming this grievous wolf. Beware of the ecumenical movement, for it is the foundation of the one world order and one world church. It will be governed by either Islam or Catholicism, but it is on the way, and James is fanning the flames.
Pastor Brett James White used to criticize Islam and to expose it. However he obviously spent too much time with Muslim scholars that brainwashed him. It's crazy that is more busy to defend Islam than to explain Christianity . We can't exclude that James White secretly converted to Islam and only pretends to be a Christian.
Wise Dragon
I would not conclude such a thing, but James White will rip a Christian for disagreeing with him, while opening his door for Muslim's to propagate their false doctrine. He is too proud to listen to any one. All we can do is pray for him. Thanks for your comment.
Unitarian monotheism and Trinitarian monotheism. That is a new, an interesting, and usable phrase.
"A person is not a being".
God is One Being but with 3 Persons?
Could a human Being with 3 personalities be a good liking to the Trinity concept?
Reformists would call that example you gave modalism. Because a human cannot desplay the 3 persons at once, but God can.
Ofcouse, modalism is not really a insane heresy, but the reformers considered it wrong.
With all due respect, modalism is recognized as heresy. Don't want to type a long explanation here, but Modalism is the denial of God as He actually exists. The Modalist God is no more God than Allah or even some human female deity. That simply is not the God of scripture.
James white got the Shahada part wrong - You can be a muslim without even saying the Shahada , just by believing in it you can become a muslim
Believe in what?
No, it must be proclaimed by your tongue. Faith is not only belief in the heart, but words uttered as well as actions that follow from it.
beautiful teaching. i am one of your strong followers. But your demeaning comments on Benny Hin is not wrong. The Holy spirit can manifest and people can be slain under the power of God!. i minister the power of God just like Benny Hinn and i see people fall under the anointing and it is in line with scripture.
but You are a lovely teacher. i have been listening to you over the years
The council of Jerusalem reject Pauline Christianity - they concentrated on the law opposed to what James White said
Let me give you another perspective. The Bahá’í perspective. As Baha’is we believe that God has given us an eternal covenant, that God will never leave us to our own devices. When we are in the most need of them God sends another Messenger for that time.
The Messengers of God are like perfectly polished mirrors shining the light of God for that age. They all might look different from each other but they all have that same function. To reflect that one same source of light, which is Gods revelation. Their words are all one of the same, the Holy Spirit works through them to give the message of God for that specific Dispensation. But when humanity transgresses away from revelation. God sends down another, in His name to represent Him, bringing forth a book and a new revelation.
In the Bahá’í Faith we call this progressive revelation.
There are so many passages in the Bible that show there is a direct dichotomy between Christ’s station and God’s station. For example; it says In the Bible “Not that any man hath seen the Father, save he which is of God, he hath seen the Father”.
Just one dichotomy between Christ and Gods station. The passage “I and the father are One” doesn’t mean They’re both the same entity. I can be one with my wife on thought and principle. It doesn’t mean we are exactly the same person.
Now moving onto Muhammad and Islam. You have to understand something about that time and place. Muhammad didn’t come to a group of people like Christ did. He came to a group of people who were nomadic and barbaric. The pagan tribes at that time would bury their daughters in the ground for example.
The whole area was ravaged by war and conflict. There was no jury or judicial court ruling system at that time (unless you lived in Mecca or Medina), what were you to do if an aggressive tribe came to your area and pillaged and raped your whole family? Just stand there and watch? No you would defend. This is one of the concepts of Jihad. To defend yourself.
Christ on the other hand came to a civilised people who lived in settlements and believed in the one God. There were courts and prisons. So to conclude each time was totally different from each other. Apples and Oranges.
Let me leave you with this. Baha’u’llah the Founder of the Bahá’í Faith says that religion is eternal in the past and eternal in the future. That God will send another Messenger. Like Christ, like the Buddha, Like Moses, Like Abraham Like Muhammad when we are in the most need of Them.
The Contradictive thing is, as Christians you believe Christ is coming back.
“I have many things to tell you but you cannot bare them now, how be it when HE the son of truth comes He will guide you until all truths, for He will take of mine and showeth unto you” John 16.
Progressive revelation is the key to religion. Exclusivity and finality has caused the most wars, bloodshed and death in history. Baha’u’llah the founder of the Bahá’í Faith says this.
“The All-Knowing Physician hath His finger on the pulse of mankind. He perceiveth the disease, and prescribeth, in His unerring wisdom, the remedy. Every age hath its own problem, and every soul its particular aspiration. The remedy the world needeth in its present-day afflictions can never be the same as that which a subsequent age may require. Be anxiously concerned with the needs of the age ye live in, and center your deliberations on its exigencies and requirements”
So if your place in heaven/hell is predestined, what's the point of shirk or any good or bad deed? It's still decided. I didn't get this part
how come you can mixed oil and water?
You use an emulsifier.
What are the other 2 main barriers??
Dr James White tries to bring harmony between Christians and Muslims , unlike many Christians spouting lies and hatred towards Muslims.
As for the hadith, “O Messenger of Allah! Have you availed Abu Talib in any way, as he used to protect you and show anger for your sake?” He (peace be upon him) said, “Yes, had it not been for me, he would have been in the lowest depths of Hellfire.”
So, the words used , doesn't say "best place in Hell". I guess, James wanted to get a laugh from his audience.
Best
I'm not completely sure which debate it was, but Dr White had mentioned a Q&A cross examination in which a Muslim had asked for a single verse which definitively established the doctrine of the Trinity, he responded there wasn't a single verse. However, it is quite literally stated in 1 John 5:7, but only in the KJV. I checked six other translations, and they all said other things.
In addition, 1 Timothy 3:16 states that God was manifest in the flesh, but again only in the KJV. I pray these might assist you in future debates.
Jeremy Hinken thanks for sharing. James and other scholars address 1 John 5:7 and that is actually an addition to the text. Probably put there by well-meaning Trinitarians, but all evidence points to it being a later addition to the Text.
I wouldn’t use that verse or consider it as part of the original, inspired text. I’d think if it as a commentary.
"People of the Book, go not beyond the bounds in your religion, and say not as to God but the truth. The Messiah, Jesus son of Mary, was only the Messenger of God, and His Word that He committed to Mary, and a Spirit from Him. So believe in God and His Messengers, and say not, 'Three.' Refrain; better is it for you. God is only one God. Glory be to Him - (He is) above having a son."
Good verse, it proves the quran is false. Christians have never said there are three gods. The Bible is quite clear that there is one God. And yet your verse Sura 4:171 says that the People of the Book are saying there are three gods. If the quran was written by "Allah" , how did he get that so wrong? Answer, because the author of the quran (aka Mohd) did not know what Christians really believed.
cpnhowdy
where exactly does it say three gods it may be referring to three persons
father, son and spirit
Context. The verse itself explains it and does not need any guessing. After all, the quran claims to be clear......
"say not, 'Three.' " Three what? The verse itself explains : " . God is only one God" In the context of the verse, Allah thought the Christians were saying three gods and tries to refute something that is not claimed/believed. He got it wrong, hence the quran is not from God. That's it in a nutshell. The verse is explicit in talking about "one God", not about persons.
Ask you self three what lol don't you know my dear three what .......after say one not three ...what what that Christians make silly of themselves ...worshiping a man and say he is god in disguise ...then decide that he is three ..and then ask Muslims three what ..Jesus pbuh is ashamed of YOU you paul followers.
Huda, you did not refute any of what I said. Your quran is clear in its context and it got it wrong.
if you want to understand Islam Quran is the book . Please read without any biasness :)
Your logic can be applied to a Muslim reading the Bible. We can sit and nitpick why you don't understand this or why we don't understand that. At the end of the day I really wish Muslims and Christians would get along. Yes we have different beliefs but in the world we are in we have so many moral beliefs to be the same. We both dislike the immorality of the world and see how destructive it is.
@@TheDeeStain i respect your opinion. The thing is i have not read the bible as there are so many versions . I do have the knowledge of trinity , 10 commandments and christian doctrine of original sin. This i didnt learn from some Muslim scholar saying they know all about Christianity , i learned it from fellow christian friend at work .
Moreover Quran is the only book that confirms Jesus PBUH as the messenger and the virgin birth. Quran is the only religion that confirms the God of Jesus , Muhammad , Mosses , Isac , Ishmael. Jon , Noah, Elijah PBUT is the same . If you truly want to understand the commonalities Quran is the book . You would be amazed how much it is written by fellow people of the book . Dont learn Islam from these people do it yourself thats all i advise as my fellow people of book. Ask Muslims around you.
So the main problem between Christians and Muslims is that muslims are still holding a grudge against the ONE and only TRUE God. Why ? Because God blessed Isaac with the birthright instead of Ishmael.
This is how the teaching of calvinism is so wrong and dangerous.
So since James White your a calvinist. God desided not to bless Ishmael with the promise aka the birthright.
God choose that from Isaac's Heritage that Jesus Christ would be born from. Why beause Jesus Christ was the elected before the foundation of the world.
Isaiah 42:1 Behold my servant, whom I uphold; mine ELECT, in whom my soul delighteth; I have put my SPIRIT upon him: he shall bring forth judgment to the Gentiles.
Isaiah 42:1
1 Peter 1:2-5 ELECT according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through sanctification of the SPIRIT, unto obedience and sprinkling of the BLOOD of JESUS CHRIST: Grace unto you, and peace, be multiplied.
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant MERCY hath BEGOTTEN us again unto a lively HOPE by the RESURRECTION of Jesus Christ from the dead,
To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, RESERVED in heaven for you,
Who are KEPT by the power of God through FAITH unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.
1 Peter 1:2-5
1 Peter 1:19-23 But with the precious BLOOD of Christ, as of a lamb without BLEMISH and without SPOT:
Who verily was foreordained BEFORE the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you,
Who by him do BELIEVE in God, that raised him up from the dead, and GAVE him glory; that your FAITH and hope might be in God.
Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently:
Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.
1 Peter 1:19-23
As well as that Ishmael and his mother were sent away by Abraham.
Why?
Because of their actions.
Genesis 21:8-13 And the child grew, and was weaned: and Abraham made a great feast the same day that Isaac was weaned.
And Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, which she had born unto Abraham, mocking.
Wherefore she said unto Abraham, Cast out this bondwoman and her son: for the son of this bondwoman shall not be heir with my son, even with Isaac.
And the thing was very grievous in Abraham's sight because of his son.
And God said unto Abraham, Let it not be grievous in thy sight because of the lad, and because of thy bondwoman; in all that Sarah hath said unto thee, hearken unto her voice; for in Isaac shall thy seed be called.
And also of the son of the bondwoman will I make a nation, because he is thy seed.
I ask you Muslims did God or not make ishmael's descendants a great nation?
Also I asked in the Muslim religion what if a man would have a child with a woman that is not his wife what would happen to that woman and her child?
Where's the rest ?
Those who believe we are saved and by believing in Christ risen and us forgiven, are sealed in the Holy Spirit until the day of our redemption - which comes with our death and departure from this failed earth, and our fleshly, sinful bodies - saved, yet awaiting such with great promise and hopeful expectation, while now, contending that faith (not to prove our faith, but to share it, the good news, Christ is risen from the grave and paid for our sins, and WHOSOEVER believes that shall not perish, for he paid in full our price to the kingdom of God forever, his blood, his death, proving God's great love for us, that his only begotten Son might die for us, that we be SAVED - (Ephesians 1:12-14):
"12That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ.
13 In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,
14 Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory;"
Dr. White's attemps here (God love him), to explicate why those who do not believe in Jesus Christ, do not, because he is trying to see it from their side (God love him) are honorable; yet, they hate, persecute, and despise others who do not believe as they do, which is entirely contradictory to what Jesus commands we do with our enemies (Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute us and depitefully use us." - WHY? Because they do not have the peace of Christ in them, that their lives are secure with the payment he made full on the cross, which Muslims deny happened and we hope and pray they do.
I hope and pray his intention is such that he believes he can be instrumental in as many as can, come to a saving faith in Jesus Christ, and this is a noble cause; yet, I hope he is not so blinded that he might believe otherwise - which, only God knows his heart (God love him);
for, what is written in Revelation 19:19 shall certainly come to pass, as all the prophecies in the Bible have come, and the Word cannot lie against itself, and the Word came in to this world, and became flesh, alive in Jesus Christ, who died for our sins, and came so that whosoever believes in him shall not perish, but have eternal life, and not suffer Hell forevermore, not the fate of those in the coming, final battle:
"19 And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army."
Put your trust in Jesus Christ, who explicity said: ""Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword," - which is the Word of God, by which all, when hearing, either accept as true or do not.
It is not complicated - be prepared for the terrible day of the Lord Jesus Christ, King of Kings, Lord of Lords, and turn your life over to him. He has already forgiven you of all your sins - past, present and future ones. So be glad of that, persevere in that faith - the Christian faith, and nothing shall separate you from the love of God, as Paul so well stated in Romans 8:38-39:
"38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,
39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord."
The understanding of Quran being eternal is similar to the understanding of the wisdom of God being eternal along with his foreknowledge. It is not a separate unit that needed to be identify as another divine unit coequal with God.
There is a misunderstanding that the emphasis on law or sharia when Muslims grew in numbers was for the pursuit of Islamic political domination.
It is hard to understand the motive for James mentioning this other than to challenge the incoherence of the overall message of the Quran or the intention of the Prophet of Islam.
The introduction of Quranic jurisprudence served as a legal framework for the new community that were establishing themselves away from the tribal and violent culture surrounding them.
In America, our early founders chartered the constitution as a necessity to bring stability and justice for the people of the country.
He mentioned that Islam came to the west and brought its cultural trappings. This is a deliberate error by ignoring the fact that people of different cultures brought their own cultural trappings wherever there migrate and not necessarily a culture that are espoused by the religion per se. Arabic culture has been around longer than the religion of Islam.
Although James White has come a long way distancing himself from far right wing self-declared Islamic expert such as David Wood, he still has a lot of misconceptions about Islam that he used to his advantage in promoting Christianity.
Allah's forgiveness is not arbitrary. We don't know the whole story. It may seem arbitrary to us, but there's wisdom in everything Allah does.
james white said "arabic is divine language". not true! i know he didnt mean to misrepresent islam, but it is wrong, the qur'an was revealed in arabic because the prophet was arabic. [041:044] Had We sent this as a Quran (in the language) other than Arabic, they would have said: "Why are not its verses explained in detail? What! (a Book) not in Arabic and (a Messenger an Arab)?" i havent finished the video after this comment, but i guess there are more mistakes.
8:40...being anything but a believer in Jesus is a rebellious act and therefore self-righteous....the irony.
25:20 This is so inaccurate , the pronunciation in arabic is only there since it is widely spoken language among Muslims
Why debate. Why not live like all the prophets love and respect please. Debate equates to hatred and winner vs loser.
@J Mireles With the greatest of respect Jonah did not debate - he just gave the message that God gave him. Confronting people about their sin is very different to debate.
Because the more we remain silent, the more censorships be put in place.
The more censorships we have, the more our free speech gets taken away.
The more restrictive of our free speech, the more we will talk pass each other rather than engage with one another.
The more we talk pass one another, the more volatile we become towards each other.
And the more people like you that's advocating against dialogue and debate, the more we compromise and the more we compromise each other's faith is the moment we stop searching for the truth.
Because of jihad aka faithlessness
So proud Islam is my religion alhamdulah Islam is the fastest faith Ameen
But where is the evidence that it is true?
1. That is only due to birth rates, not conversion. 2. That is not an argument for it's truth. Nazism was the largest growing political philosophy in Germany in the 1930s, did that make it true?

Shadowscholar So i assume you're a Muslim, that's why you're obviously a zealot. And who's God or "One" are you talking about that created us. What about the Christian God or the Jewish God. Don't be so brainwashed.
James White is actually misinterpreting 0r better misunderstanding the meaning of the hadith. I advice anyone who wants to investigate, for example, take the last hadith of the person who does all his life good and enters hellfire. The meaning is completely different from what James says.For example, If a person does good his entire life but at the end he/she rejects God and starts worshiping a stone (for example) all of his good deeds will be deleted and he enters hell. Similarly, if a person does bad deeds all his/her life but before he/she dies repents and seeks forgiveness he should know that God is the most merciful. There is nothing arbitrary as James claims.
Jesus said : _And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is _*_One Lord_* - Mark 12:29 . Who is Jesus referring to?
a) God Almighty. b) Jesus. c) Holy Ghost. d) all of the above.

Why does this man spend more time talking about Islam than Christianity?
Yeah he also attacks Catholics while defending Muslims.
Wise Dragon David wood also speak 95 prcent about islam than christianity. Except david wood speak negative stuff and stimulate hatred. Thats why television dont want to support him anymore. Christianity is full of hatred.
+Wise Dragon well I grew up on the Catholic faith and have left it not too long ago sinec I've watched and learned from many former ex Catholics that left Catholicism but are still Christian because of the corruption and politics that the Vatican has over the religion.
He doesn't. I wish he would talk about Islam more. It's good to be knowledgeable. If you just want to be a layman just go to church. Why listen to scholars unless you want to know these things
@Pat Harvey lol I know right 😂😂😂 common sense isn't common anymore.
Why cant all christians be like James white
Degrading and wicked to his brothers in the faith? Because some people are Christian’s
I am trying to be like Jesus. James White is my brother in Christ.
I think James has to take course about Islam.
He has studied ALL of Yasir Qadi's Hadith studies, he has taken upon himself the task of slowly learning Arabic, has studied the Qur'an for over a decade, what else do you want?
Sorry, but he needs more! Islam is *NOT* Mormonism for God sake.
Like what? Something you have done? Why is it that EVERY Muslim scholar who has read What Every Christian Needs to Know About the Qur'an has agreed that he was fair with the material? White has devoted SOOOO much time to Islam in the past decade, and gone to great lengths to understand it.
"EVERY Muslim scholar who has read What Every Christian Needs to Know About the Qur'an has agreed that he was fair with the material?"
This is simply not true!
James has a great ability to deceive people by showing his false , ability to engage with others while he's just a preacher for us. He says he read Bukhari and Muslim while he is riding his bicycle to just know what kind of men he is !
Islam is not mormonism, Christian philosophers themselves know what Islam is in the sense of greatness
I've not ever seen any christian who engages with the depth about Islam as muslim debaters do with christianity. Christians' level is low. I mean & after all, muslims are the pioneers in this discipline from days of Ibn Hazm or Al Ghazali
Mr James White is a hypocrite. He onced criticized Islam for it's violence and now he defends Islam. I don't trust this man, he lost all his credibility.
Christians are 'losing badly' at Speakers corner at the hands of Muslim debaters: why haven't you or Jeff Durbin ever taken on debaters like Muhammad Hijab or Hamza or Ali Dawah ?
Hamza is a hack who just picks soft targets
We do believe the real Quran are only the ones in Arabic. But that doesn't mean Arabic is divine. The reason we think the real Quran is only in Arabic simply because God revealed it in Arabic... translation can make a mistake since a word can has many different meanings so a translator might not translate the way God has meant it. But the Arabic ones will always have the original message of God the way He wants it. Also you can not get the same feel of linguistic beauty of the Quran by reading translation...I'm talking about rhymes, word precision etc. Muslim believe the very precise words that used in Quran is in itself proof of its truthfulness...

I think there are a much simpler explanation..if Muslims and others alike clearly understood the Quran we will see that it is obviously a fraud. So to make it more difficult to access for the common people they force them to read it in a very hard to understand language, so relatively a small group can read and interpret the texts for the masses.
As a Calvinist James believe and teaches many biblical errors and misinterpretions (specially concerning the Gospel of Jesus Christ and the character and person of the Father) but as a scholar As a Calvinist James believe and teaches many biblical errors and misinterpretions (specially concerning the Gospel of Jesus Christ and the character and person of the Father) but as a scholar and debater he is pretty good I must say! debater he is pretty good I must say!
Islam real simple, has Muhammad's words in the Quran been corrupted, "No" has the Bible been corrupted, "Yes". so God only has one prophet in all the world and time that hasn't been corrupted. then you get a blank look. just walk away, just walk away. they will follow and ask or go struggle with that seed you just planted. we workers God gives growth. God will gather his sheep, it's not our job to save it's our job to declare truth, God/Jesus is the only Savior, the only Redeemer. He has to take that heart of stone out. peace love and Jesus Christ
we have the original manuscripts..
7:21 there's nothing that logically necessitates that prophets can not come after Jesus from Hebrews 1:1-2. All it claims is 1) God spoke by prophets in the past, and 2) God spoke in the then-current era by Jesus.
Both of those statements are true, yet there's nothing there that implies that God will or did not continue to speak by prophets after Jesus. Consider the difference between the following statements:
1) No one has ever been to Mars
2) No one will ever go to Mars
See how they are saying different things? Hebrews says God spoke through Jesus. And that's true, just like it's true that no one has been to Mars. Yet that doesn't mean that no one will ever go to Mars (in fact, NASA has a goal for a manned mission to Mars by 2030). A statement about what has transpired is not a statement about what will transpire in the future. You'll note that the scripture in Hebrews doesn't say anything about how God *will* speak in the future.
In fact, James White's position is somewhat absurd. Is not scripture itself the words of God speaking to us through apostles rather than Jesus? Did not Paul himself only begin his ministry wherein he spoke authoritatively for God only after Christ had come and gone?
And this is why you need to be very careful about who you trust to teach you scripture. James White has demonstrably drawn invalid conclusions from Hebrews 1, which means that his doctrine on the subject is invalid as well.
"there's nothing that logically necessitates that prophets can not come
after Jesus from Hebrews 1:1-2. All it claims is 1) God spoke by
prophets in the past, and 2) God spoke in the then-current era by Jesus."
If Hebrews didn't also say "His Son" (which you left out) (Whom in the book of Hebrews is called God, Lord who created the heavens and the earth, etc, you might have a point.
As it stands, and has always stood, Islam rejects Jesus' idea fo Him being the Son of God. Allah is a Father to no one. There is no "the Father" which Jesus almost exclusively referred to God as. There is no "THE Son".
All I did was replace "His Son" for "Jesus", clearly indicating the assumption that Jesus is the Son of God. Furthermore, my point was not about whether or not Jesus is the Son of God, so that is irrelevant anyways.
Yes. U r right.
Jesus; Watch out for false prophets
Disciples: How can we recognize the true prophet?
Jesus; By his fruits
That means Jesus saying there would be prophets coming after Jesus was gone.
Well, this is another side: "The Good And Bad Of James White" th-cam.com/video/G0HponHgTWI/w-d-xo.html
Dr. White, I cannot hear you over that JACKET!
Not sure about God shrinking the world part but rest of what he said is true. However he greatly misunderstands the meaning due to his Christian world view. There's a fundamental misunderstanding in that we are a creation and God is a creator, we are at his mercy and heaven and hell are waiting and God is patient. The power dynamic is that we are here to obey and worship, to pray to someone else is to invite shirk. Apart from the lord everything else In the universe use his creation and not worthy of worship. Hope that makes sense.
Allaah's Forgiveness is not arbitrary in the way you claim it is. The predication is that you are upon Tawheed and not Shirk. Then it can be determined based on sincerity. There is not need for a man to be claimed to be God's son for forgiveness. Your study of Islam has led you nowhere.
Respect - really? Both sides are trying to convert the other. Convert and go to heaven/paradise, don’t and go to damnation.
James White you debate muslism yet they believe as John Calvin did.
[“No, he has foreordained everything ‘after the counsel of his will’: the moving of a finger, the beating of a heart, the laughter of agirl, the mistake of a typist - even sin.” Calvinist Edwin Palmer, The Five Points of Calvinist]
Muslim creedal statements:
• God Most High is the Creator of all actions of His creatures whether of unbelief or belief, of obedience or of rebellion: all of them are by the Will of God and His sentence and His conclusion and His decreeing. Cragg, The Call of the Minaret 60-61
• God’s one possible quality is His power to create good or evil at any time He wishes, i.e. His decree… Both good things and evil things are the results of God’s decree. It is the duty of every Muslim to believe this… It is he who causes harm and good. Rather the good works ofsome and the evil of others are signs that God wishes to punish some and to reward others… if God wishes to draw someone close to Himself, then He will give him the grace which will make that person do good works. If He wishes to reject someone and put that person to shame then He will create sin in him. God creates all things, good and evil. God creates people as well as their actions: He created you as well as what you do. (Qur’an 37:94)
A few quotes from the Qur’an that could have very well come from Reformed Theology:
Qur’an 3:145 No person can ever die except by the permission of Allah, the term being fixed as by writing.
Qur’an 48:14 To Allah belongs the sovereignty of the heavens and the earth: He forgives whom He wills, and He punishes
whom He pleases.
Qur’an 64:11 No calamity occurs, no affliction comes, except by the decision and preordainment of Allah.
Surah 16:53 And whatever favor is (bestowed) on you it is from Allah; then when evil afflicts you, to Him do you cry for aid.
Surah 57:22-23 No evil befalls on the earth nor in your own souls, but it is in a book before We bring it into existence; surely that is easy to Allah: So that you may not grieve for what has escaped you, nor be exultant at what He has given you; and Allah does not love any arrogant boaster
We’re made in God’s image and thus have our own will. Those that trust in God are glorified by Him.
It's amazing how well read and smart he can appear to be concerning Christianity, yet put him up against Steve Ray, John Bergsma, or Scott Hahn and i have to start wondering who is correct...really makes one ponder the truth.
what if as a muslim i learn what i know about christianity on youtube....from you? )-:
Funny..... a Hebrew name is supposed to be pronounced in Arabic. If you don't pronounce HEBREW name in Arabic then that's not Quran 😂
Masha Allah, may Allah guide you to the straight path. Allah does what he wills and you cant charge him
allah doesnt exist at best and at worst he is of demonic origin. muhammed is in hell and theres no reason for you to follow him there.
A Christian educating others about Islam, with No ONE able to dispute his erroneous facts.
And the audience doesn't see the problem with that. At least bring a Muslim scholar.
If a parent raises a child in a home with love and good morals and the child becomes a serial killer, do you blame the parent for that??? On the other hand, if a parent beats the child, drinks and teaches the child that stealing and taking and beating and abusing others is ok then yes, you can blame the parent. Jesus himself taught love, pure morals, and he was God and taught things very different than the people that did things in the midieval times and other periods that were horrific in the name of christianity. However, Mohammed himself was a man of violence and bad morals and taught that it was ok to take and kill when it served a purpose. There is a serious difference in the teachings of the leaders to the "children" of the faiths.
Just proclaim the gospel, you don't need to know much about other religions, waste of time. I hardly acknowledge others' religions, doctrines of demons. It's not through reason, it's to share Christ; preach the cross! Ray Comfort does well.
Islam is absolute truth.
Islam is absolutely not the truth.
Can a white Irish man such as myself consider Muslim?
Trinity is different, i have seen unitarian christian . So suggesting trinity is the only christian way is so wrong.
everyone in here, if u wanna learn about islam go learn from Christian Prince.
A doctor from a diploma mill.
Sebastian Schulz who cares!
Well James White does. Why else does he like to display honors with intent to impress without having merited them?
@@sebastianschulz6531 real Christian’s don’t care for man’s praise. You may be assuming things.
@@raysonraypay5885
I see Apologia studios featuring his title from a diploma mill, so your words question Dr. White being a real christian, he would be otherwise not boasting a false title.
Islam does not make sense.
Meshari Alharabi Did i say that ummmm... No and i would never say it like that.
Randy Perez That's a bad analogy.
The quran gets the trinity wrong because Mohd did not understand the Trinity. You mistake unitarianism for monotheism, a categorical error. Christians are monotheists (one God), God has revealed himself in three persons (Trinity). One what, three who; different categories.
Any analogy to try to explain the Trinity is going to fall short. You cannot explain something with an analogy when that something is completely "other", completely unique, and outside our comprehension. The only way we can have a bit of understanding is if God himself reveals those things to us, which He has in the Holy Bible. Not in the quran.
No, Christians do not assume the quran gets the Trinity wrong because of the way Christians interpret their doctrine.
Christians know the quran gets the Trinity wrong by the way the quran itself tries to explain the Trinity. It is completely wrong.
The Trinity is just a few of the things the quran gets wrong. The quran could be described as a mashup book itself. Mohd did not understand what Christians believed and he got many of the Biblical stories and accounts wrong. If the quran was from God then why so many mistakes?
You do not understand the difference between monotheism and unitarianism. They are different categories. You are confusing the two. Muslims assume unitarian without being able to prove it. The Bible is the authoritative Word of God and God has revealed Himself (monothiesism) in Three Persons (Trinity).
child of God it at least is monotheistic.
this debates are getting boring bcz GOD IS NOT A MAN
a second-grade Jewish student would tell you trinity is blasphemy. man-made idea against all the teachings of Jesus. it is Paul and John idea, not Jesus. christians, for the most part, follow Paul not Jesus, Jesus said oh Israel your GOD LORD IS ONE. full stop, this would have been the chance to explain the Trinity, he should have explained it not PSUL or other gospel writers. those writers not even profits none of them.
Yeah and that's cuz he's a second grader (ie, a person without knowledge) duh
just reading the comments goes to show the kind of following Dr James white has.. the christian version of salafis.. most likely not very educated and very far right.. I'm seeing promotion of David wood and people who havnt got a clue what islam is.. this just shows the gap in yasir qadhi and James white.. you didn't get these comments on yasir qadhis page and if you did not to this level.. James white sort your audience out
why do christians think they have to give up the love for christ, if they accept islam, when he is a great prophet of islam, and revered in the Qur'an in so many places. you just call him a great prophet rather then god or son of god.
ThUrT EilNo
The reason is because if one denies the deity of Christ, they will die in their sins according to Jesus in John 8:24.
underground0331
how do you know Jesus actually said that?😂😂
Haroun Abdullah
Because eye-witnesses heard Him say it.
Who am I going to believe? The eye-witnesses who heard and knew Jesus personally or some guy who lived 600 years later who couldn't read or write who said he was visited by an angel all alone with no one around to back up his story. Every cult in the world begins with one person by themselves being visited by an angel or a god and then BOOM! New religion invented. Islam is no different than every other cult in the world.
underground0331
slow down might want to pick up some brain cells there.
firstly how exactly do you know they where eye witnesses you weren't there you are just told so. they never claim to be eye witnesses and according to biblical scholars such as bart ehrman they are not eye witnesses how could they be the gospel of John was written 90 years after Jesus.
secondly how do you know it wasn't forged . the Bible has a history of forged versus such as 1st John 5:7 and others just listen to biblical scholars you can't be using it as if it is a fact if it is probable that it is a forgery or not Historically correct.
Thirdly the angel visited Mary alone to tell her about Jesus and boom a religion was born so if your going to judge Islam by that logic implement it on Christianity aswell
and good day sir
Haroun Abdullah
That only goes to show how in depth your scholarship is if you refer to Ehrman as a source. I've got better things to do with my life than go back and forth with you over a subject that has long been proven to be true (my position). Again, who will I choose? A plethora of eye-witnesses or some psychopath conman in a cave 600 years later? I'm gonna have to go with the eye-witnesses who claimed to be eye-witnesses.
Dear James White,
There is no authority above and beyond the God. God have the power everything and God have authority to forgives whom HE wants, because forgiving HIS nature, however should God demanded killing Jesus for mercy and salvation of humanity which then it violates God's own nature, as God has to honor evil killing Jesus, God has to endorse the evil killing Jesus, God has to frame the evil killing Jesus, God has to participate in the evil killing Jesus and God has to accept the evil killing Jesus who is a blameless prophet of the God. This seem to be me, God is shooting HIM self in the foot by violating HIS nature when God can forgives those who deserve the to be forgiven without violating HIS nature. Therefore Islam makes far more sense those who are logical.
King James Bible
Hosea 6:6 For I desired mercy, and not sacrifice; and the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings.
😂😂😂 u good
Rizwan Rafeek
Sorry, but this is so much against the Old Testament if we read it in context. God cannot just forgive in the OT without atonement (Hebr 9:22, Leviticus 4:35, 5:10). Hosea 6:6 talk about the priority of law´s moral standards over the ceremonial requirements (Matt 9:13, 1Sam 15:22, Mic 6:6-8).
Understanding Islam with a Christian. Hahaahah. I respect Dr. White. But really. Hahaha.
