@@jib7026 Joseph the Father of Jesus had a brother named Clopas who had a wife called Mary who is the mother of James you are talking about. It's in the bible.
@@koppite9600 That's a false translation. The Syriac Sinaiticus manuscript of Matthew 27:56 calls Mary the wife of Cleopas as ''the daughter of James''. Saint Jerome describes James as: "James, who is called the brother of the Lord, surnamed the Just, the son of Joseph by another wife, as some think, but, as appears to me, the son of Mary, sister of the mother of our Lord of whom John makes mention in his book… " in De Viris Illustribus ("On Illustrious Men").
Is there any other apologist who speaks Arabic, Persian, Hebrew and Greek ? And this was an impressive lecture. I learned many interesting and new details about the earliest Christians. This was fantastic, may Allah bless you both.
Quran always says when one needs to acquire information, go to or ask an expert. I really feel sorry for not only Christians who have been decieved, and also for the exmuslims, who have left their faith due to ignorance. All praises to ALLAH (swt), who has sent to us such knowledgeable scholars in our time, to keep us on the straight path. Alhumbulilaha rubbill alameen!!

@jrutt2675 you've said a whole lot of NOTHING. Your trinity is False. The God-man concept is False. Jesus isn't God because he doesn't know the hour and he prayed???Eyewitnesses didn't write the NT (Luke and Matthew borrowed from Mark to write their accounts). The last ten verses of Mark are made up (they dont show up in the earliest manuscripts of Mark). Scholars only credit Paul with 7 of the 13 letters ASCRIBED to him. Twenty Seven books in the NT, HALF OF WHICH are ASCRIBED to Paul, BUT ONLY HALF OF WHICH HE AUTHORED??? Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John are ANONYMOUS and not EYEWITNESSES. There names were added AFTER the documents were in circulation (a century later). Nobody has to fear the NT. It is a very human book.
Who do you suggest people should follow? The pure, sinless Jesus? Or the bigamist child molester war lord who raped the women slaves and lusted over his sons wife. Which do you vote is a good example of Love.

@@srnp0007 okay now educate yourself Then He turned to the heaven while it was smoke and said to it and to the earth, "Come [into being], willingly or by compulsion." They said, "We have come willingly." (and said to it and to the earth: "Come willingly or unwillingly.'') meaning, `respond to My command and be subjected to this action, willingly or unwillingly.' This command addressed to the earth and sky and their compliant and obedient reply is an expression for the readiness of the earth and the sky to comply with every order from Allah Almighty. Nothing here is about a 'contracting universe' ! The Quran on the Origin of the Universe: The science of modern cosmology, observational and theoretical, clearly indicates that, at one point in time, the whole universe was nothing but a cloud of ‘smoke’ (i.e. an opaque highly dense and hot gaseous composition). This is one of the undisputed principles of standard modern cosmology. Scientists now can observe new stars forming out of the remnants of that ‘smoke’ A new star forming out of a cloud of gas and dust (nebula), which is one of the remnants of the ‘smoke’ that was the origin of the whole universe. (The Space Atlas, Heather and Henbest, p. 50.) The Lagoon nebula is a cloud of gas and dust, about 60 light years in diameter. It is excited by the ultraviolet radiation of the hot stars that have recently formed within its bulk. (Horizons, Exploring the Universe, Seeds, plate 9, from Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy, Inc.) The illuminating stars we see at night were, just as was the whole universe, in that ‘smoke’ material. God has said in the Quran: Then He turned to the heaven when it was smoke... (Quran, 41:11) Because the earth and the heavens above (the sun, the moon, stars, planets, galaxies, etc.) have been formed from this same ‘smoke,’ we conclude that the earth and the heavens were one connected entity. Then out of this homogeneous ‘smoke,’ they formed and separated from each other. God has said in the Quran: Have not those who disbelieved known that the heavens and the earth were one connected entity, then We separated them?...  (Quran, 21:30) Dr. Alfred Kroner is one of the world’s renowned geologists. He is Professor of Geology and the Chairman of the Department of Geology at the Institute of Geosciences, Johannes Gutenberg University, Mainz, Germany. He said: “Thinking where Muhammad came from . . . I think it is almost impossible that he could have known about things like the common origin of the universe, because scientists have only found out within the last few years, with very complicated and advanced technological methods, that this is the case.” Also he said: “Somebody who did not know something about nuclear physics fourteen hundred years ago could not, I think, be in a position to find out from his own mind, for instance, that the earth and the heavens had the same origin.” ____________ Footnotes: The Arabic word for “smoke” in the above verse is “dukhanun,” which describes the hot, cosmic smoke in question. This word in the Qur’an, in pinpoint fashion, describes this smoke very accurately for it is a warm body of gas containing mobile particles connected to solid substances. Here, the Qur’an has employed the most appropriate word from the Arabic language for describing the appearance of this phase of the universe. Let us note that only in the 20th century have scientists discovered that the universe emerged from a hot gas in the form of smoke
Im from Malaysia and im muslim. I just found your channel and its really interesting the way you explain every topic. MashaAllah. May Allah protect you.👍💗

Dr. Ali I love your work, brother. I'm a revert from Texas (ex-Catholic Christian) who always had problems with the Eternal Generation of the Son and how it resulted in the Son (God) lacking Self-Sufficiency in some aspect. One of your other lectures blew me away and I can't way to watch this one. God bless you.
This episode was fascinating! Growing up Catholic, I never hear any of this! Some things didn't add up, and this perspective clarifies so much. Thanks 👍
Amazing Paul!! Can you believe how many good people are saying "I didn't know about James"? The truth of James and Nazarenes should be finally be made public!!! And you're doing just that, great work Paul!(not the other Paul)
@@seekthetruthandthetruthwil2388 it should be the other way around, James has just one little letter, and Paul has 14 books of 27 books in NT, while James has 1. James was the most important of the christian leaders, he should've had 14 books not Paul. The focus of Christianity is on Paul not James, which is should be. And yes James had a fight with Paul according to scholarly consensus since James disagreed with Paul's theology
I like the chemistry between you two. Both know much about the subject. Both are adding into the conversation. Both are very deepened in it. It's somehow very entertaining to follow a proper discussion where the both sides are clearly familiar and interested at the topic in question. Intellectual food.
I really appreciate the work you two are doing. Dr. Ataie brilliantly shows both the beauty but also the holes within the former scriptures and beliefs of the People of the Book and how the Quran fills these holes as it promises to do (Al-Furqan/The Criterion). As a young man who grew up in Texas these talks are vital to us Muslims here and other parts of The West so that we can better understand our own religion within the context of living in the lands of the People of the Book. May Allah bless your endeavors. Ameen.
I have just watched this for the second or third time. This really is of the very highest order, top quality commentary. Phenomenal content. Really has raised the level of the discourse from our perspective. God bless you both
What an enlightening discussion. Intellect, incomprehensible knowledge, and analytical aptitude that is superior to the majority Dr. Ali. What blessing to have such attributes. Paul you’ve exceeded all expectations with this guest. Truth uncloaked, the epitome of transparency. Thank you Paul and Dr Ali
Dr Ali Ataie really did his research.I really respect people speaking without any notes.its like everything already programmed in his head.Thanks for all the knowledge.
another great show from Paul Williams! This highly erudite Dr Ataie can be invited with another fantastic scholar Dr James Tabor to talk more on James, Paul and the Ebionites.
@@srnp0007 Main theme of Churches for followers is that don't ask any question regarding fundamental doctrine, this is known as blind following and blindfaith.
Mr Paul let me please thank you for helping Putting Islam teachings on the map for the masses with your short videos and in the intellectual map with your amazing guests, May Allah reward you abundantly.
The knowledge of these two men is mind-boggling... I feel like a kindergarten student hearing them speak. I would have to literally listen to this 4-5 times to absorb 50% of the information.
Brother Paul, salaam! Dr. Ali Ataie is a genuine learned man from whom I can learn and understand a lot! I have never seen one like him before. But, I am too old to learn anything, now! However, we need teachers like him for all children! I am sure he has the answers about the Hebrew language that Pr. Noam Chomsky refused to answer. HE IS WORTH MORE THAN HIS WEIGHT IN GOLD! BAFS
Thanks to Paul for introducing us to a wealth of information and resources that Most of us might never have come across otherwise. His work has been transformational in my life. May Allah be pleased with him.
There is a great scholarship in Dr. Ataie. I am very thankful for you, Paul, to bring him to us, the laymen as far as scholastic study of religion is concerned.
Dear Paul All credits go to you. Despite the fact that my best teacher has always been Sheikh Hamza Yusuf Mark Hanson, co-founder of Zaytuna College, I never knew they had such a giant of Ancient “Abrahamic” Sacred literature and languages like Dr. Ali Ataie. His Persian origins make him a more tolerant human being, and the fact that he can read and write Arabic, Hebrew, and Greek, makes him unique. I listened to the entire 2 hour-long broadcast, and both your knowledge is remarkable. Usually, I almost always find some fault somewhere, and this time I was in agreement 100% with him and you although my knowledge about the factual details of those sciences is quite limited. Having said that, I wished Dr. Ali Ataie had also mentioned the Mithraic aspects or origins of Roman Christian-Pauline theology. I “knew” the real name of James the Just was Jacob. The French translated James as Jacques. A sick and sickening habit of Westerners to translate proper names! I understood that the British Union Jack represents the Union of Israelites or Jacobites. All this is very confusing to the common believing Christian who belongs to countless denominations that are opposed to each other and even hate each other while preaching the same Bible they know very little about by design. BAFS
Wow what a tour de force - two hours and I could not switch it of. You are the man Paul! What can I say about Dr Ali Ataie - a human encyclopaedia, a true force to reckon with. He is polite, articulate, clear and extremely knowledgeable.
It is always a pure pleasure to watch the discussion with Dr Ataie. He has an in-depth knowledge of Jewish-Christian history & books, and in addition to his deep understanding of Quran and Sunnah. He is also a very good presenter and introduces the materials in a methodical, and easy to understand fashion. These discussions are never boring and easy to follow, even for the layman and we are often left with the feeling we want more… much much more. Thank you so much, for inviting him on your channel and wish we would see him on the channel on a regular basis. A weekly or perhaps monthly discussion with Dr Ataie, would be a massive treat to your loyal audience like myself. God bless both of you and again thank you so much 😊 for taking the time to arrange for these valuable discussions.
Hello Mark... I agree "these discussions are never boring" ( well... most of them are not ) but as a Christian believer, I don't find this discussion "easy to follow:, as you said. I respect both Paul and Dr. Ataie but to be honest, the more I learn about Islam, the more confused I get. PEACE

The key to understanding Isaiah 53 and who/what it’s about is in the first line which says: “to whom has the Arm of the Lord been revealed” What does it mean by ‘the Arm of the Lord’? Throughout scripture we see reference to Gods ‘’mighty Arm’ or his ‘Right Arm’ which refers to Gods power/strength - but if we take a closer look at the text, the Arm of the Lord is actually a distinct ‘entity’ or ‘person’ for lack of better word. The Angel of YHVH is the Arm of the Lord, God’s presence manifested. If we read Isaiah 40:10 it says: “Behold, the Lord YHVH rules with might, and *His arm shall rule for him* , behold his reward is with him” Pay particular attention to “His arm rules for him” this shows that the arm is the one that rules for YHVH, his own arm rules for him. To be sure that the Arm is a distinctly identifiable ‘character’, we look to Isaiah 51, *Isaiah 51:9* “Awake, awake, arm of the Lord, clothe yourself with strength! Awake, as in days gone by, as in generations of old. Was it not you who cut Rahab to pieces, who pierced that monster through? Was it not you who dried up the sea, the waters of the great deep, who made a road in the depths of the sea so that the redeemed might cross over?” Again, *Isaiah 63:12* “ who sent his glorious arm of power to be at Moses’ right hand, who divided the waters before them, to gain for himself everlasting renown” Here, we see God sent his ‘Arm of power’ to be at Moses right hand - if we look back to the scriptures to see who was sent by Moses, *Exodus 23:20* says: “Behold, I send my angel before you to keep you in the way and to bring you into the place which I have prepared. Beware of Him and obey His voice; do not provoke Him, for He will not pardon your transgressions; for My name is in Him” Here we see that God is send an ‘Malak’ ahead of Moses to lead the way for him, so this is the right Arm being referred to in Isaiah 63:12, and remember, this Angel bare the divine name of YHVH which is why God says he can forgive sin, this is God’s very presence, his divine name carries his presence. If we are In doubt about this ‘Malak’ (Angel/messenger) which is referred to as God’s ‘glorious arm of power’, *Exodus 33:14* “The Lord replied, “My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.” So we see that God’s Angel that was sent to be at Moses’ side is the ‘glorious arm of power’ and ‘his presence’ according to Isaiah 63:12 and Exodus 33:14. Further in Isaiah 63 it says *Isaiah 63:8-9* “He said, “Surely they are my people, children who will be true to me”; and so he became their Savior. In all their distress he too was distressed, and the angel of his presence saved them.” So you see - the Arm of the Lord is the one that brings salvation, God’s very own arm… as it is written: *Psalm 98:1-2* Oh, sing to the Lord a new song! For He has done marvelous things; His right hand and His holy arm have gained Him the victory. The Lord has made known His salvation; His righteousness He has revealed in the sight of the gentiles (nations).

Very heavy stuff yet explained in a very accessible way, truly remarkable. Thank you Paul! You too are a scholar and a great teacher, from the many of the scholarly videos you produce with great research, knowledge and imparted with ease and sincerity clearly from the heart. You're a great man of God Paul (not the apostate Jesus pbuh warned us of, lol) no matter what faith you profess. May Allah protect you and reward you for your sincere endeavour for the benefit of the lay people, particularly our brainwashed Christians brothers and sisters and all people of God including to certain extend Muslims if only from knowledge perspective.
A very important subject - complicated presented and discussed in details genuinely, having knowledge in it - simplifying , make it straight and beneficial for the people. Simply genius.
As a layman this is scholarly gold to me, I'm a fan of Dr Ali and have heard other speeches of his before. With each lecture I always try to keep a few nuggets for future reference. Thanks guys!
What an amazing discussion !!!! Thankyou Mr. Williams to bring such outstanding content and thanks to Dr Ataie for such in-depth peak into Christianity. Amazing!!! Amazing!!! Your channel is now my first preference on TH-cam. May Allah subhana-wa-taalla bring the Light of Islam to your heart and soul.
Mindblowing... I was reading that specific surah the other day in Arabic, And I saw Al Nasara... and I look at the translation I see it means the Christians... I was how does it means that?? Here you go I just have my answer! Thank you!
Oh my God... Muslims should have this two hours of speech in their curriculum as a part of short history analysis about true message of Jesus... Extremely knowledge.. May Allah bless you..
" The point is this: they are very, very sensitive about this passage.... Isaiah 53 is their golden goose." To be honest, I've never studied this chapter of Isaiah. May God enlighten us to understand.
@Iyas kelu If Dr Ataie is wrong.....then why are Christian apologists scared to debate in public dialogue with Ali? Ill tell you why...because Christian apologists know they are wrong and they dont want to be exposed which will affect their "business."....they don't want to "go out of business...."... Thats why!
@Iyas kelu and what Christians know about Christianity? Very little so much so they don't accept their own scholars. Many believe in charismatic preachers who teach nothing but evoke emotions
@Iyas kelu To love Jesus is to not associate him as a God-head, imagine the shame you cause Jesus by claiming that he claimed divinity. You say you "love" Jesus when in reality you hurt him in the most vile manner, you are the people who torture Jesus.
One of the most knowledge-dense videos I've every watched. Really appreciate this, thanks a lot BT and Dr Ali. This video answered questions that I had in my subconscious!
I had a Christian brother yell at me the other day because I told him I didn’t believe Jesus is god. I did tell him I believe in Jesus though and he still flipped and went mad.
A very very interesting discussion! It was definitely one of the most informative and eye opining discussions I have ever heard about many things new to me which I never heard it before. Thank you Paul Williams and Dr. Ali Ataie for giving us such rich content. May Allah reward you for your efforts. And may Allah increase us in knowledge.
Most of the Christian’s don’t know anything about the bible ask them and they want be able to explain.At lease Muslim know their Quran by heart. Love you Paul, you are doing a great job and I am learning every day.Thank you!!
There are many Christians out there they know the Bible by heart. There are three titles used for Jesus of Islam the word of Allah, the spirit from Allah and the Messiah none of these titles clearly defined in the Quran most of the muslims don't know how to explain this I asked this question to many Muslims they failed to address this point.
@Mohamed Ahmed I don't believe in such either. But I do think that man cannot comprehend God with his finite, limited mind. So there will always be some mystery regarding God. PEACE
@John Brzykcy I agree with you that our limited mind cannot comprehend God completely. I think there is a concept called negative theology. Please Google it for explanation. As for base of believe I think explained somewhere in this video that clear verse is superior to metaphorical verses.
@Mohamed Ahmed I think it means that whatever we imagine tobe god is NOT God because whatever we imagine it is part of creation and God is not creation. He is creator
First time in a long time I've heard something really thought provoking on the topic from a Muslim. Well done Paul, hope you bring Ali Ataie on more often!

@@samsungkartit meaning of coming in the clouds Jesus talked of. As I (Daniel) looked, “thrones were set in place, and the Ancient of Days took his seat. His clothing was as white as snow; the hair of his head was white like wool. His throne was flaming with fire, and its wheels were all ablaze. A river of fire was flowing, coming out from before him. Thousands upon thousands attended him; ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him. The court was seated, and the books were opened...In my vision at night I looked, and there before me was one like a son of man coming with the clouds of heaven. He approached the Ancient of Days and was led into his presence. He was given authority, glory and sovereign power; all nations and peoples of every language worshiped him.

The Lagoon nebula is a cloud of gas and dust, about 60 light years in diameter. It is excited by the ultraviolet radiation of the hot stars that have recently formed within its bulk. (Horizons, Exploring the Universe, Seeds, plate 9, from Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy, Inc.)
The illuminating stars we see at night were, just as was the whole universe, in that ‘smoke’ material. God has said in the Quran:
Then He turned to the heaven when it was smoke... (Quran, 41:11)
Because the earth and the heavens above (the sun, the moon, stars, planets, galaxies, etc.) have been formed from this same ‘smoke,’ we conclude that the earth and the heavens were one connected entity. Then out of this homogeneous ‘smoke,’ they formed and separated from each other. God has said in the Quran:
Have not those who disbelieved known that the heavens and the earth were one connected entity, then We separated them?...  (Quran, 21:30)
Dr. Alfred Kroner is one of the world’s renowned geologists. He is Professor of Geology and the Chairman of the Department of Geology at the Institute of Geosciences, Johannes Gutenberg University, Mainz, Germany. He said: “Thinking where Muhammad came from . . . I think it is almost impossible that he could have known about things like the common origin of the universe, because scientists have only found out within the last few years, with very complicated and advanced technological methods, that this is the case.” Also he said: “Somebody who did not know something about nuclear physics fourteen hundred years ago could not, I think, be in a position to find out from his own mind, for instance, that the earth and the heavens had the same origin.”

Footnotes:
The Arabic word for “smoke” in the above verse is “dukhanun,” which describes the hot, cosmic smoke in question. This word in the Qur’an, in pinpoint fashion, describes this smoke very accurately for it is a warm body of gas containing mobile particles connected to solid substances. Here, the Qur’an has employed the most appropriate word from the Arabic language for describing the appearance of this phase of the universe. Let us note that only in the 20th century have scientists discovered that the universe emerged from a hot gas in the form of smoke

Dr. Ali I love your work, brother. I'm a revert from Texas (ex-Catholic Christian) who always had problems with the Eternal Generation of the Son and how it resulted in the Son (God) lacking Self-Sufficiency in some aspect. One of your other lectures blew me away and I can't way to watch this one. God bless you.
May, Allah bless you guys.
This episode was fascinating! Growing up Catholic, I never hear any of this! Some things didn't add up, and this perspective clarifies so much. Thanks 👍
Glad you enjoyed it!
Amazing Paul!!
Can you believe how many good people are saying "I didn't know about James"? The truth of James and Nazarenes should be finally be made public!!! And you're doing just that, great work Paul!(not the other Paul)
👍
Especially when James was so against Paul
@@inaaranur1611 I know right? James should be well known in the world, for the truth of Jesus to manifest for many christians I believe
@@seekthetruthandthetruthwil2388 it should be the other way around, James has just one little letter, and Paul has 14 books of 27 books in NT, while James has 1. James was the most important of the christian leaders, he should've had 14 books not Paul. The focus of Christianity is on Paul not James, which is should be. And yes James had a fight with Paul according to scholarly consensus since James disagreed with Paul's theology
@@jasonstewart7834 I wonder too why James only wrote one book? ( unless he did write more books that are lost to us ).
I like the chemistry between you two. Both know much about the subject. Both are adding into the conversation. Both are very deepened in it. It's somehow very entertaining to follow a proper discussion where the both sides are clearly familiar and interested at the topic in question. Intellectual food.
I really appreciate the work you two are doing. Dr. Ataie brilliantly shows both the beauty but also the holes within the former scriptures and beliefs of the People of the Book and how the Quran fills these holes as it promises to do (Al-Furqan/The Criterion). As a young man who grew up in Texas these talks are vital to us Muslims here and other parts of The West so that we can better understand our own religion within the context of living in the lands of the People of the Book. May Allah bless your endeavors. Ameen.
I have just watched this for the second or third time. This really is of the very highest order, top quality commentary. Phenomenal content. Really has raised the level of the discourse from our perspective. God bless you both
Brother Paul I implore you to invite Dr Ali ataie to give more interviews on the judeochristian scriptures from a Muslim view point
Glad you enjoyed it!
What an enlightening discussion. Intellect, incomprehensible knowledge, and analytical aptitude that is superior to the majority Dr. Ali. What blessing to have such attributes. Paul you’ve exceeded all expectations with this guest. Truth uncloaked, the epitome of transparency. Thank you Paul and Dr Ali
Love these two guys. Beautiful work.
Thanks so much!
"The Greek is very, very strong. 'Never did I know you." Thanks for sharing that scripture in the Greek language.
Dr Ali Ataie really did his research.I really respect people speaking without any notes.its like everything already programmed in his head.Thanks for all the knowledge.
Wow Subhanallah.
I did not realize Christianity was much much much sadder than what I had already thought.
What a great academician and what a great interviewer. God Bless! Time to take notes

May Allah reward you abundantly.

The knowledge of these two men is mind-boggling... I feel like a kindergarten student hearing them speak. I would have to literally listen to this 4-5 times to absorb 50% of the information.
Brother Paul, salaam!
Dr. Ali Ataie is a genuine learned man from whom I can learn and understand a lot! I have never seen one like him before.
But, I am too old to learn anything, now! However, we need teachers like him for all children! I am sure he has the answers about the Hebrew language that Pr. Noam Chomsky refused to answer.
HE IS WORTH MORE THAN HIS WEIGHT IN GOLD!
BAFS
Thanks to Paul for introducing us to a wealth of information and resources that Most of us might never have come across otherwise. His work has been transformational in my life. May Allah be pleased with him.
❤️
There is a great scholarship in Dr. Ataie. I am very thankful for you, Paul, to bring him to us, the laymen as far as scholastic study of religion is concerned.
Two hours seem so short. Please bring him again next time if you have the opportunity. Thanks for the wonderful discussions.
👍
Dear Paul
All credits go to you. Despite the fact that my best teacher has always been Sheikh Hamza Yusuf Mark Hanson, co-founder of Zaytuna College, I never knew they had such a giant of Ancient “Abrahamic” Sacred literature and languages like Dr. Ali Ataie. His Persian origins make him a more tolerant human being, and the fact that he can read and write Arabic, Hebrew, and Greek, makes him unique. I listened to the entire 2 hour-long broadcast, and both your knowledge is remarkable. Usually, I almost always find some fault somewhere, and this time I was in agreement 100% with him and you although my knowledge about the factual details of those sciences is quite limited.
Having said that, I wished Dr. Ali Ataie had also mentioned the Mithraic aspects or origins of Roman Christian-Pauline theology.
I “knew” the real name of James the Just was Jacob. The French translated James as Jacques. A sick and sickening habit of Westerners to translate proper names! I understood that the British Union Jack represents the Union of Israelites or Jacobites. All this is very confusing to the common believing Christian who belongs to countless denominations that are opposed to each other and even hate each other while preaching the same Bible they know very little about by design.
BAFS
Wow what a tour de force - two hours and I could not switch it of. You are the man Paul! What can I say about Dr Ali Ataie - a human encyclopaedia, a true force to reckon with. He is polite, articulate, clear and extremely knowledgeable.
It is always a pure pleasure to watch the discussion with Dr Ataie. He has an in-depth knowledge of Jewish-Christian history & books, and in addition to his deep understanding of Quran and Sunnah. He is also a very good presenter and introduces the materials in a methodical, and easy to understand fashion. These discussions are never boring and easy to follow, even for the layman and we are often left with the feeling we want more… much much more. Thank you so much, for inviting him on your channel and wish we would see him on the channel on a regular basis. A weekly or perhaps monthly discussion with Dr Ataie, would be a massive treat to your loyal audience like myself. God bless both of you and again thank you so much 😊 for taking the time to arrange for these valuable discussions.
👍
Hello Mark... I agree "these discussions are never boring" ( well... most of them are not ) but as a Christian believer, I don't find this discussion "easy to follow:, as you said.
I respect both Paul and Dr. Ataie but to be honest, the more I learn about Islam, the more confused I get.
PEACE

Salam brother Paul and Dr Ali. I am from Malaysia. Awesome discussion and knowledge not known by many. Thank you very much. ☝
I really enjoyed this stream and aim to watch it again to absorb all the information contained within. May Allah bless you and Dr Ataie and reward you for passing on the knowledge you have which is a requirement for every Muslim. May Allah guide people to the truth through such efforts. Jazakum Alaahou Khairan brother Paul. Highly educational and in an easy format.

I keep coming back to watch Dr Ali on Blogging Theology. I think this is my third time watching this very video and every time I learn more and enjoy more!
Glad you enjoy it!
Exactly the same with me, I just commented the same experience before reading this!
I just love listening to Dr. Ataie; love his work (Sometimes I have no idea what he is saying). I thank God for his knowledge and teaching- "God cannot die!" Amen!
The key to understanding Isaiah 53 and who/what it’s about is in the first line which says: “to whom has the Arm of the Lord been revealed”
What does it mean by ‘the Arm of the Lord’?
Throughout scripture we see reference to Gods ‘’mighty Arm’ or his ‘Right Arm’ which refers to Gods power/strength - but if we take a closer look at the text, the Arm of the Lord is actually a distinct ‘entity’ or ‘person’ for lack of better word. The Angel of YHVH is the Arm of the Lord, God’s presence manifested.
If we read Isaiah 40:10 it says:
“Behold, the Lord YHVH rules with might, and *His arm shall rule for him* , behold his reward is with him”
Pay particular attention to “His arm rules for him” this shows that the arm is the one that rules for YHVH, his own arm rules for him.
To be sure that the Arm is a distinctly identifiable ‘character’, we look to Isaiah 51,
*Isaiah 51:9*
“Awake, awake, arm of the Lord, clothe yourself with strength! Awake, as in days gone by, as in generations of old. Was it not you who cut Rahab to pieces, who pierced that monster through?
Was it not you who dried up the sea, the waters of the great deep, who made a road in the depths of the sea so that the redeemed might cross over?”
Again, *Isaiah 63:12*
“ who sent his glorious arm of power to be at Moses’ right hand, who divided the waters before them, to gain for himself everlasting renown”
Here, we see God sent his ‘Arm of power’ to be at Moses right hand - if we look back to the scriptures to see who was sent by Moses,
*Exodus 23:20* says:
“Behold, I send my angel before you to keep you in the way and to bring you into the place which I have prepared. Beware of Him and obey His voice; do not provoke Him, for He will not pardon your transgressions; for My name is in Him”
Here we see that God is send an ‘Malak’ ahead of Moses to lead the way for him, so this is the right Arm being referred to in Isaiah 63:12, and remember, this Angel bare the divine name of YHVH which is why God says he can forgive sin, this is God’s very presence, his divine name carries his presence.
If we are In doubt about this ‘Malak’ (Angel/messenger) which is referred to as God’s ‘glorious arm of power’, *Exodus 33:14*
“The Lord replied, “My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.”
So we see that God’s Angel that was sent to be at Moses’ side is the ‘glorious arm of power’ and ‘his presence’ according to Isaiah 63:12 and Exodus 33:14.
Further in Isaiah 63 it says
*Isaiah 63:8-9*
“He said, “Surely they are my people, children who will be true to me”; and so he became their Savior.
In all their distress he too was distressed, and the angel of his presence saved them.”
So you see - the Arm of the Lord is the one that brings salvation, God’s very own arm… as it is written:
*Psalm 98:1-2*
Oh, sing to the Lord a new song! For He has done marvelous things; His right hand and His holy arm have gained Him the victory.
The Lord has made known His salvation; His righteousness He has revealed in the sight of the gentiles (nations).
This is gold! May God reward you both and bless you. The amount of knowledge I received from this video is immense!
Paul, i think you should start doing your PhD in theology. I think you have so much understanding of both Christianity and Islam.
Two hours of pure delight! This kind of video demand many replays and a note book!
*the 2 legends are back at it again!*
Thanks brother paul to get Dr.ali ataie again on our platform ❤
Loved the discussion and keep them coming.hope youre well.
Sir,Take my heartiest respect.🧡Your contents and discussion are very informative and interesting.Knowledge-based discussion is quite fantastic.We enjoy your contents.Have a very blessed life.Take my heartiest respect,sir.🧡
Very nice discussion. Dr. Ali Ataie's knowledge on the topics is encyclopedic, very interesting.
Indeed!
Very heavy stuff yet explained in a very accessible way, truly remarkable. Thank you Paul! You too are a scholar and a great teacher, from the many of the scholarly videos you produce with great research, knowledge and imparted with ease and sincerity clearly from the heart. You're a great man of God Paul (not the apostate Jesus pbuh warned us of, lol) no matter what faith you profess. May Allah protect you and reward you for your sincere endeavour for the benefit of the lay people, particularly our brainwashed Christians brothers and sisters and all people of God including to certain extend Muslims if only from knowledge perspective.
A very important subject - complicated presented and discussed in details genuinely, having knowledge in it - simplifying , make it straight and beneficial for the people.
Simply genius.
This episode concludes tens and tens of hours of reading. Thank you very much Mr. Williams.
Amazingly brilliant unknown scholar!! Thanks for bringing him into dawah world!! May God reward you Paul!
What a delightful interview.
Thank you Dr. Ali, you are a wealth of knowledge.
Thank you Paul for I introducing us to Dr. Ali.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I find myself rewinding everytime Dr Ali speaks in Greek. Its so magical to see someone can read the gospel in greek. im beyond impressed
Very educational topic i do follow you both of you Christians should learn from these analysis from both Bible & quran ❤
As a layman this is scholarly gold to me, I'm a fan of Dr Ali and have heard other speeches of his before. With each lecture I always try to keep a few nuggets for future reference. Thanks guys!
What an amazing discussion !!!! Thankyou Mr. Williams to bring such outstanding content and thanks to Dr Ataie for such in-depth peak into Christianity. Amazing!!! Amazing!!!

Alhamdulillah, Dr.Ali amazing, we learned so much , thank you Br. Paul 👍
Glad you enjoyed it
This has been your best interview ever. Congratulation
A new breadth to the Christian Muslim dialogue.
Dr Ataie, you are lovely
Oh my God... Muslims should have this two hours of speech in their curriculum as a part of short history analysis about true message of Jesus... Extremely knowledge.. May Allah bless you..
" The point is this: they are very, very sensitive about this passage.... Isaiah 53 is their golden goose." To be honest, I've never studied this chapter of Isaiah. May God enlighten us to understand.
@Iyas kelu If Dr Ataie is wrong.....then why are Christian apologists scared to debate in public dialogue with Ali?
Ill tell you why...because Christian apologists know they are wrong and they dont want to be exposed which will affect their "business."....they don't want to "go out of business...."...
Thats why!
@Iyas kelu and what Christians know about Christianity? Very little so much so they don't accept their own scholars. Many believe in charismatic preachers who teach nothing but evoke emotions
@Iyas kelu every single time the true real explanations is given you kids always gave or comes up with stupid excuses.#do grow up sometimes#
@Iyas kelu To love Jesus is to not associate him as a God-head, imagine the shame you cause Jesus by claiming that he claimed divinity. You say you "love" Jesus when in reality you hurt him in the most vile manner, you are the people who torture Jesus.
@@rollingknuckleball we dont believe that God sacrificed Jesus or that Jesus is cursed. Christans believe this.

This video was really deep with so much knowledge. Definitely have to go back and take notes. Mashallah! Great work brother Paul and Dr. Ali!
I hope my christian and muslims brothers from Nigeria and west Africa are following this compodium of knowledge channel.
One of the most knowledge-dense videos I've every watched. Really appreciate this, thanks a lot BT and Dr Ali.
This video answered questions that I had in my subconscious!
I had a Christian brother yell at me the other day because I told him I didn’t believe Jesus is god. I did tell him I believe in Jesus though and he still flipped and went mad.
A very very interesting discussion!
It was definitely one of the most informative and eye opining discussions I have ever heard about many things new to me which I never heard it before.
Thank you Paul Williams and Dr. Ali Ataie for giving us such rich content. May Allah reward you for your efforts. And may Allah increase us in knowledge.
Most of the Christian’s don’t know anything about the bible ask them and they want be able to explain.At lease Muslim know their Quran by heart. Love you Paul, you are doing a great job and I am learning every day.Thank you!!
There are many Christians out there they know the Bible by heart.
There are three titles used for Jesus of Islam the word of Allah, the spirit from Allah and the Messiah none of these titles clearly defined in the Quran most of the muslims don't know how to explain this I asked this question to many Muslims they failed to address this point.
Brilliant discussion. Knowledge increases your faith and demolish your doubts.

The most complex discussions I have heard so far
Very complex indeed. In fact my complexion ( perspective ) is changing. HELP !!
@Mohamed Ahmed I don't believe in such either. But I do think that man cannot comprehend God with his finite, limited mind. So there will always be some mystery regarding God.
PEACE
Dr. Ali Ataie is amazing Biblical scholar...
Always enjoy his lectures...
@John Brzykcy I agree with you that our limited mind cannot comprehend God completely. I think there is a concept called negative theology. Please Google it for explanation.
As for base of believe I think explained somewhere in this video that clear verse is superior to metaphorical verses.
@Mohamed Ahmed I think it means that whatever we imagine tobe god is NOT God because whatever we imagine it is part of creation and God is not creation. He is creator
1:30:00 - 1:40:00 is mind blowing. Jesus (as) will deny and reject those that made him a God according to the Bible.
First time in a long time I've heard something really thought provoking on the topic from a Muslim. Well done Paul, hope you bring Ali Ataie on more often!

Thank you so much to both of you for this very beneficial session.
So I have gathered that Jesus son of Mary peace be upon him and his holy mother had appointed a successor after himself which is James the honest one, but Paul a who was self proclaimed hypocrite that pronounced himself as apostle after Jesus Christ.
This session with both gentlemen is an affirmation of Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him and his family that he had appointed Imam Ali "as" as his successor and the hypocrites fought him and his family the very day that prophet Muhammad was killed and buried.
