Reza Aslan explored how believers have conceptualized the idea of God from the early origins of religion through present day.
Reza Aslan is an American author, public intellectual, religious studies scholar, producer, and television host.

Love this kind of conversation.
I couldn't agree more when Reza said "Religions are human inventions".
I totally agree that God is the force and all is one. Makes sense. It seems bizarre that God would be a man sitting on some throne up there somewhere.
Great insights and conceptualization about the one word that is supposed to represent everything we know and everything we don’t know.
Awesome topic and great interviewer
That woman Rabbi is vey eloquent and super prepare with her question.
Rabbi Sarah Bassin is the best and she is equally an amazing compassionate person in real life.
I'm so glad she chose the questions that she did...some of them were my own and his answers were insightful. Shout out to Sufism! :)
He literally misrepresented Islam or sufism by saying that creations are part of God or anyway divine. This is pantheism, to me it's nothing but polytheism. Quran condemns it as an unforgivable sins. I can make up my own philosophy but that doesn't make it Islam or scriptural. Don't get fooled by that definition.
I quite like the Rabbi and felt some sense of jealousy while Reza hugged her. Another incredibly brain nourishing program of Reza. Thanks to the organizer.
Real talk about religion. Amazing!
Loved this!

Wow, this guy is really intelligent and dynamic. He has awoken a new interest in me
Don't you mean he has given you ammunition for that rebellious streak clearly defined in Genesis.
Clearly he is not glorifying God, but justifying his academic understanding and inconclusive summaries he has assumed. His foundation is based on what exactly????
Unfortunately hes very dishonest.
He's an exposed fraud Jessica. A dangerous one. th-cam.com/video/E9RmAo6XVAA/w-d-xo.html
🌹🤲🌷 Quran17 🌴🌻🌷
Verily, this Qur'ân guides to that which is most just and right and gives glad tidings to the believers who work deeds of righteousness, that they shall have a great reward (Paradise). (9) And that those who believe not in the Hereafter, for them We (God) have prepared a painful torment (Hell). (10) And man invokes (God/Allâh/Yahweh) for evil as he invokes (Him) for good . And man is ever hasty [i.e., for example if he is angry with his son , he invokes (saying): "That God curses you" ] (11) And We have appointed the night and the day as two signs. Then, We have obliterated the sign of the night while We have made the sign of the day illuminating, that you may seek bounty from your Lord, and that you may know the number of the years and the reckoning. And We have explained everything (in detail) with full explanation. (12) And We have fastened every man's deeds to his neck. And on the Day of Resurrection, We shall bring out for him a book which he will find wide open. (13) (It will be said to him): "Read your book. You yourself are sufficient as a reckoner against you this Day." (14) Whoever goes right, then he goes right only for the benefit of his ownself. And whoever goes astray, then he goes astray to his own loss. No one laden with burdens can bear another's burden. And We never punish until We have sent a Messenger (to give warning). (15) And when We decide to destroy a town (population), We (first) send a definite order (to obey Allâh/God/Yahweh and be righteous) to those among them who lead a life of luxury. Then, they transgress therein, and thus the word (of torment) is justified against it (them). Then We destroy it with complete destruction (16) And how many generations have We destroyed after Noah! And Sufficient is your Lord as an All-Knower and All-Beholder of the sins of His servants. (17) Whoever desires the quick-passing (transitory enjoyment of this world), We readily grant him what We will for whom We like. Then, afterwards, We have appointed for him Hell, he will burn therein disgraced and rejected, (18) And whoever desires the Hereafter and strives for it, with the necessary effort due for it (i.e. righteous deeds ) while he is a believer , then such are the ones whose striving shall be appreciated, (thanked and rewarded by Allâh/God/Yahweh). (19) On - each these as well as those - We bestow from the Bounties of your Lord. And the Bounties of your Lord can never be forbidden. (20) See how We prefer one above another (in this world) and verily, the Hereafter will be greater in degrees and greater in preference (21) Set not up with Allâh/Yahweh/God any other god, (O man)! , or you will sit down reproved, forsaken (in the Hell-fire). (22) And your Lord has decreed that you worship none but Him. And that you be dutiful to your parents. If one of them or both of them attain old age in your life, say not to them a word of disrespect, nor shout at them but address them in terms of honour. (23) And lower unto them the wing of submission and humility through mercy, and say: "My Lord! Bestow on them Your Mercy as they did bring me up when I was young." (24) Your Lord knows best what is in your inner-selves. If you are righteous, then, verily, He is Ever Most Forgiving to those who turn unto Him again and again in obedience, and in repentance. (25) And give to the kinsman his due and to the poor and to the wayfarer. But spend not wastefully (your wealth) in the manner of a spendthrift . (26) Verily, spendthrifts are brothers of the devils , and the Devil (Satan) is ever ungrateful to his Lord. (27) And if you turn away from them (kindred, poor, wayfarer, whom We have ordered you to give their rights, but if you have no money at the time they ask you for it) and you are awaiting a mercy from your Lord for which you hope, then, speak unto them a soft, kind word . (28) And let not your hand be tied (like a miser) to your neck, nor stretch it forth to its utmost reach (like a spendthrift), so that you become blameworthy and in severe poverty. (29) Truly, your Lord enlarges the provision for whom He wills and straitens (for whom He wills). Verily, He is Ever All-Knower, All-Seer of His slaves. (30) And kill not your children for fear of poverty. We shall provide for them as well as for you. Surely, the killing of them is a great sin. (31) And come not near to the unlawful sexual intercourse. Verily, it is an immoral sin, and an evil way . (32) And do not kill anyone whose killing Allâh/God has forbidden, except for a just cause. And whoever is killed wrongfully , We have given his heir the authority [(to demand Law of Equality in punishment- or to forgive, or to take blood - money)]. But let him not exceed limits in the matter of taking life (i.e he should not kill except the killer). Verily, he is helped (by the divine law) (33) And come not near to the orphan's property except to improve it, until he attains the age of full strength. And fulfil (every) covenant. Verily! the covenant, will be questioned about. (34) And give full measure when you measure, and weigh with a balance that is straight. That is good (advantageous) and better in the end. (35) And follow not (O man i.e., say not, or do not or witness not) that of which you have no knowledge. Verily! The hearing, and the sight, and the heart, of each of those one will be questioned (by Allâh/Yahweh). (36) And walk not on the earth with conceit and arrogance. Verily, you can neither rend nor penetrate the earth, nor can you attain a stature like the mountains in height. (37) All the bad aspects of these (the above mentioned things) are hateful to your Lord. (38) This is (part) of wisdom which your Lord has revealed to you (O Muhammad ). And set not up with Allâh/God/yahweh any other god lest you should be thrown into Hell, blameworthy and rejected, (from God's Mercy). (39)
Has then your Lord (O pagans) preferred for you sons, and taken for Himself from among the angels daughters? Verily! You indeed utter an awful saying. (40) And surely, We have explained [Our Promises, Warnings and (set forth many) examples] in this Qur'ân that they (the disbelievers) may take heed, but it increases them in naught save aversion. (41) Say (O Muhammad to polytheists, pagans): "If there had been other gods along with Him (God) as they assert, then they would certainly have sought out a way to the Lord of the Throne (seeking His Pleasures and to be near to Him). (42) Glorified and High is He! From High above (the great falsehood) that they say! . (43) The seven heavens and the earth and all that is therein, glorify Him and there is not a thing but glorifies His Praise. But you understand not their glorification. Truly, He is Ever Forbearing, Oft-Forgiving. (44)

He sounds intelligent but it also has to with study and scholarship The way He was describing people's idea about God very similar thing in a book "40 rules of love " of which I read a couple of pages and I found that very same thing but He doesn't want to give credit to another scholar
I've thought the same for years (reformation).
Jewish interview are ideal for this kind of discussion. They are amazing listeners, educated and have their way to direct conversation in an interesting way.
I don't think it's because she's Jewish
@@user-xq4st9ie7r not entirely, because of that but the honest curiosity that leads to structure the question
Super ,, well done ,,
This is the real scholarship
I wanna translation this meeting ,is there any copyright
Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. Live it I do.
Aslan inspires one to go and study the religions!! Philip Vanderlin
It is either the fear of death or the desire for immortality common to all human beings. This "fear" triggers ontological yearning to know who am I, what is f human existence etc etc
IQ and humor and charm and warm and more I love you
the Rabbi is beautiful; I can picture her as Rachel or Rebecca or Esther
Superman is what most people in developed countries describe as god embedded in human body with profound knowledge and power
Only if he knew about the Sikh Religion.. he would be amazed!!!!
Reza, I want to talk to you. Can you find 25, 30 minutes to exchange some words in ?
The beginning was so cringy. I felt like I was in high school again...
Hahahahahahahahahahahah 😹😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Loved this conversation. Gave me new perspectives on faith. However, God is not created by the human mind, or at least in Islam. The creator is far beyond our imagination. (Human characteristics are used to better understand God sometimes, such as describing God's "compassion" which is seen as a human trait). Also, I disagree here: the creator and creation are completely different. Common sense-wise, the creation can not be seen as the creator even if it induces "spirituality" in a person... unless I am not understanding the "metaphor." And montheism existed since the beginning; polythiesm came after it. Anyways it is very true that religion plays a dominant role in forming a person's identity (unfortunately) and is less about the faith and practice.
Egypt is not a secular country MAN .. WTF ... do think if someone in Egypt said publicly he is an atheist people will be ok .. he will equally disappear. In Egypt since the days of the ancient religion has been considered always a very useful tool wielded by the governments to achieve what they want. if you consider that secularism be my guest.
This dude is full of shit and just uses his accreditation and speaking skills to spread his own bullshit.
Jesus w as a dark skinned man with tight curly locked hair...go to a christian church and the wall he becomes long brown haired with blue eyes. Says it all about christians and perceptions...
abdulsidat Well, you don’t know that for sure either, but you are probably right.
Source? You don't have one
Why don't you write a book on Muhammad? And see the reaction of muslim world.
Some people see God as the most perfect loving version of themselves. The problem is those who see God as a more Judgemental version of themselves.
This ideology you are perpetrating is called pantheism!
James Brotus Wrong. Sorry but you lose $2000.00 for each incorrect answer.
You start by stating : The problem...
For a start, why is this a problem - you do not make clear!
Secondly, you make general statements you neither verify, nor make any clear with any biblical support evidence. Thus you leave your answers in the realm of many oriental mystical religions.
Yeshua never ducked an honest question, and always gave very clear answers that left no room for doubt. You need to remember this when providing answers. If your answers leaves confusion instead of addressing the question - then that is no meaningful answer.
Yeshua gave a clear indication of who God is - especially in the conversation with the Woman at the Jacob's well. God is spirit and shall be worshipped as such. it is also clear in the conversation - that the physical world has parallel with the spiritual world - have some one with biblical authority explain the entire conversation to you - and you'll see clear threads of this....
Yeshua did not leave us guessing. Rather he left us with this immense HOPE for his return - an end to all evil and all manner of deceptions, the end of pain, the beginning of eternity! Now we are living in the preparation of that promise, just as the bride waits for the groom to arrive.
James Brotus Western Man should create an All forgiving God who loves us all unconditionally. We don't need a God of Judgement. That's What Fox News, and MSNBC are for.
Radar, what you are asking in effect is to be free to do whatever you desire - without ever being judged - ie facing any consequences. This ideology has existed in the past and leads to ruin!!!!
Behaviour without constraints has anarchy as the end result, if you care to study History! After all, who determines where the line of enough lies - what is Ok for one is not enough for another - so where do you draw the line - without refrain.
Interesting! If 666 means "tradition", and tradition is so called "sin", then all religions are now under turmoil.
I want nothing ti do with religion. It rubbed me of my real identity.
Come on, Reza. You forgot Roman pantheism, the original institutional pantheism, the notion that all gods were the same gods manifesting in different forms to different peoples. The way Caesar describes the gaelic gods as "the same Roman gods with a twist" is radically different from the way Herodotus describes oriental gods. And the greatest heresy of judaism was disregarding all gods but one, and in doing so simultaneously disrespecting and inviting the wrath of all other gods and their followers.
Romans simply copied the Greek pantheon
Great conversation....Great legs
😂 I said that before I read your comment 🤭
With all respect for Dr Reza Aslan, isn't it more reductase, that a medical Dr expect a lot more rewards(money...) , then anyone else does. How come don't you believe in reward for you good deed while your books are not free? That is even more ridiculous that you expect reward (money....) from a human being who is your kind and equal to you, but it depresses you doing good for reward. At least my good deeds will not cost anyone anything. Its for free, but for sure I do it for my Creator and i expect reward for. and i expect punishment for who are in power and do injustice! One more point.
Reza seems as much Jedi as Muslim.
Has Reza Aslan ever heard God or Jesus speak to him in their voice and not just a thought in his head?
His bio says he never did drugs, so no.
how can scholars not understand the definition of bodhisattvas and their function? are they not real scholars, or are modern-day scholars simply talented ADD patients like everyone else? ie. quantity over quality intellectually
Hes a fraud
This man knows the mono thesitic religons but his characteriation of the Dali Lama is wrong
Of course `Moses` did not exist. It is well known, that the Old Testament was written down by 72 Rabbis
in Alexandria, Egypt, starting at 250 B.C. (In Greek named the Septuagint.) At that time, those Greek
Ptolomaens were those Pharaos in Egypt, as well importing their own Greek divinities, alike those female
"Muses". A Muse (alias this `Moses`) is named "Musah" in the Koran, and written M-SH-H in Hebrew:
Vocalised since as "MaSHiaH" or "MoiSHeH" or etc., and in Christianity translated as "Messias".
Of course, each Hebrew word ending with "H" always is of feminine gender, just alike Y-H-V-H, this Jewish
Lord God. Besides, those Muses (or only this divine Muse of literature and poetry) were this biblical story-
reason, that Moses had "difficulties speaking" , and that his brother Aaron did talk for him.
This is a superb book! Reveals Dr Reza's evolution from one religion to another and finally to atheism. But one serious issue is that he does not understand one crucial thing: Jesus was a mythical being and never was a historical one.
And also, Hinduism is the OLDEST of religions still being practiced; he explored virtually nothing about Hinduism. A "history of religion " with NO exploration of Hinduism?
I know right? He talks about Pantheism & doesn't bring up the most Pantheistic of all religions
Historians like Josephus wrote about Jesus
@@cheokgheenlaw2615 Ah yes the "Testimonium Flavianum." Which was FAKE.
I don't know what is meant by a God, is an ambiguous term, so Dr. we are not talking about the same thing for I don't know what are you talking about.
The other mistake that you make is to think for me...
sorry I find this talk nothing but meaningless babble.
Rabbi likes to say "Hmm" .
Perhaps she needs to consider a longer dress when she is on stage.
wow, wow, u hate him so much....yap, I don't agree with a lot of things he said (for example his choice to believe in God seems a bit predilected, like he chose that, rather than a logical conclusion form the ways he can analyse religion).... doesn't lead me to ridicule him or to give him the tag u want to.... simply because he made some wonderful points, he is a learned, thoughtful Nd an open-minded person, who's ideas hv nothing harmful in them.....it's just I don't agree with him.
So, where does all this hate come from??.... it's just because he comes from Muslim background Nd doesn't fit the prototype of a person of that identity u ppl want to portray.
My personal experience is that at times ppl of other religious indentity(esp. conservatives) get really disappointed that I'm an agnostic, that just doesn't serve their propaganda.
Academics trying to explain away God!!!!! Wow!! The world is full of Atheists that could fry an egg just by their brain waves - yet time and again - the Bible proves their efforts futile. But that will not stop them, until Jesus returns to settle this argument good and for all time...
Do not rely heavily on your own understanding - proof that becoming an academic in the very knowledge does lead to being converted or for the essential matter - being saved.
For an academic to come to the conclusion that the Bible is full of errors - that should be a 'red flag' to a believer. What appears to be errors, especially for non-believers - has often been proven not to be an error, but error in human interpretation...
Is this guy saying anything fundamentally different to the likes of Richard Dawkins, Christopher Hitchens, and many like him?
The God of the Bible is Yahweh. That should distinguish Him from the earthly gods...so use of the word God does not mean we are talking of the same personality!
Wow. What a misrepresentation of sufism and Islam. Islam doesn't advocate any way, shape or form that creations are God or God's part.
How in 2018 any one can actually believe there were ancient celestial gods astounds me. To believe in a god is to lie to one’s self, it’s a prerequisite. One must suspend critical thought to embrace any of the gods. What a awful impediment to the advancement of our species. Every second spent in ‘prayer’ or ‘with god’ is another second lost you could actually be furthering yourself and your fellow man. God is a myth and religion is fascism in its purest form. Fooling yourself into a god belief is the saddest fool of all. I’d rather ask questions I can’t answer than then have fake answers you can’t question.
Steve, you are similar to many cynical, skeptical critics that have lived before you. Jesus met many like you - and arrested their doubts - the story of doubting Thomas is one you should clearly read and see if it helps you identify a similarity with your position.
Evidence of God is very clear in things we see - that seeking answers for them alone is convincing enough...
You simply are not convinced, not for lack of evidence - as no amount of evidence will ever convince you - until you are dead and are brought before God....
Strange, that you may have no difficulty believing in 'Science', but are never courageous enough to go a step further and ask yourself: How do you account for the 'laws of science' that you take for granted!
You expect them to provide order, and answers for whatever evidence it stumbles on, yet not once have you ever asked yourself who is responsible for the framework that you call 'science laws' - that provide you the logical explanations.
If you are a critical thinker, as you so claim, then you should be able to evaluate historical accounts of events past that relate to Yeshua - for even those that had no interest in Yeshua's existence recorded accounts of his life. That alone should raise questions to a critical thinker, to seek answers....
Have a blessed day fellow.
Here is what makes it impossible for The Quran to be authored by a 7th century illeterate arab ! :
1-
WATER STRATIFICATION:
Existence of barriers which slow & control the mixing between fresh
& salt water in the seas so that each water keeps its
characteristics & species:
''He has set free the two seas meeting together. There is a barrier
between them. They do not transgress (each other).'' (Quran, 55:19-20)
''He
is the one who has set free the two kinds of water, one sweet and
palatable, and the other salty and bitter. And He has made between them a
barrier and a forbidding partition.'' (Quran, 25:53)
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stratification_(water)
www.amazon.com/Barrier-Zones-Ocean-Emelyan-Emelyanov/dp/3540253912
2-
THE PREFRONTAL CORTEX::
The prefrontal cortex (the frontal part of the
brain) is responsible for making our decisions , manipulating , lying ,..etc
Quran 96:15 ''Nay, if he(God's enemy) desist not, We shall most surely drag him down upon his forehead(in the judgement day)
96:16
A lying, sinful forehead!''

THE MIRACLE OF IRON IN THE QURAN:
IRON has meteoric origin in our solar system(sent down to Earth &
sunk to the core):'And We sent down iron, in which is great power, and
many benefits for humanity,...'(Quran, chapter Iron 57:25)
This miracle exists in Quran's copies which consider 'Basmalah' as the
1st verse (Basmala is the sentence 'In the name of God,the mercifull' at
the head of each chapter).
Thus,the verse 25 becomes 26(Iron's Atomic number). The number of verses
29 becomes 30(iron's neutrons).Chapter 57 is the core of the Quran(114
chapters). 57 is a stable isotope of iron . Iron has the second most
tightly bound nuclei(Nuclear binding energy).
4-
THE FINGERPRINTS :
In The following verses God mentions his ability (in judgement day) to
recreate not only the bones/skeleton after decomposition in the grave,
but more difficult than that : the tips of fingers (this refers to the
complexity of each paerson's fingerprints) :
75:3 - Does man (a disbeliever) thinks that We shall not assemble his
bones (in the hereafter)?
75:4 - Nay, We are Able to put together in perfect order the tips of his
fingers.
5-
EXPANSION OF THE UNIVERSE :
Quran, 51:47 "And the firmament, We constructed with power and skill and verily We are expanding it.
6-
BIG CRUNCH & ANOTHER BIG BANG (Cyclic universe hypothsis):
Quran, 21:104
"The Day that We roll up the heavens like a scroll rolled up for books
,- even as We produced the first creation, so We will also reproduce it :
a promise We have undertaken: truly shall We fulfill it.
39:67
They have not appraised Allah with true appraisal, while the earth(s)
entirely will be [within] His grip on the Day of Resurrection, and the
heavens will be folded in His right hand. Exalted is He and high above
what they associate with Him.
14:48
[It will be] on the Day the earth will be replaced by another earth,
and the heavens [as well], and all creatures will come out before Allah ,
the One, the Prevailing.

Embryology:
The scientific translation of the verses of embryology:
Q22:5 O mankind! if you are in doubt concerning the Resurrection, then
lo! We (inform you that we ) have created you from a gamete/ovum , then
from a zygote , then from an Blastocyst/adherent , then
from a disc which is differentiated and not differentiated...
ABIOGENESIS (beginning of life) IN CLAY AND EVOLUTION (of man) FROM ANOTHER SPECIES :
Q23:12 And indeed We created man out of a species/progeny/life form which originated from
clay. (12) Thereafter We made him into a Zygote in a welcoming stable
lodging (endometrium). (13) Then We made the zygote into a Blastocyst/adherent , then We made
the Blastocyst/adherent into a disc , then We made out of the disc bones (notochord),
then We clothed the bones with muscles, and then We made him into
another creation. So Blessed is Allâh, the Best of creators
------------------------------------------------
THE SURPRISE:
Adam was a modern human who was created from a female like jesus . He was not the first man :
Quran 3:59
Truly, the likeness of Jesus, in God's sight, is as Adam's likeness; He created him from a gamete/ovum , then said He unto him, 'Be,' and he was being .
- The three germ layers & three prenatal stages :
Q39:6 He creates you in the bellies of your mothers, creation after
creation, in a threefold darknesses.

THE PHENOMENA OF HYPOXIA (suffocation) IN OUTER SPACE
Quran 6:125
So who God wants that He guides him, He expands his chest to the
Islam/submission (to God); And who He wants that He misguides him, He
makes his chest narrow/tight , constricted , embarrassed as if (he)

EGYPTOLOGY EXCLUSIVELY IN THE QURAN
How & why the great pyramid of Giza was built ? Exclusively in The
Holy Quran:
Why the pyramids were built?:
The pyramids were alligned with some stars because Pharaoh of the exodus
somehow wanted to ascend or to find some celestial ways in order to
watch the god of Moses (perhaps they used to climb up the pyramid &
they also used it to project light up to the sky ):
Quran 40:36 And Pharaoh said, "O Haman, construct for me a tower that I might reach the ways -
40:37
The ways into the heavens - so that I may look at the deity of Moses;
but indeed, I think he is a liar." And thus was made attractive to
Pharaoh the evil of his deed, and he was averted from the [right] way.
And the plan of Pharaoh was not except in ruin.
th-cam.com/video/mMhIx6QEcp0/w-d-xo.html
How the pyramids were built ? :
It is first discovered by Joseph Davidovits(material scientist) then
supported by Michel Barsoum(materials science researcher) that the
blocks of the pyramids are not natural . but they are just moulded
concrete bricks of clay ,lime & water then heated.
Quran 28:38
And Pharaoh said, "O eminent ones, I have not known you to have a god
other than me. Then ignite for me, O Haman, [fire] upon the clay and
make for me a tower that I may look at the God of Moses. And indeed, I
do think he is among the liars."

PLATE TECTONICS & POLES SHIFT IN THE QURAN:
A . SUBDUCTION:
- Sea floor spreading subducted slabs:
Q15:19 And the earth-We had expanded it and CAST/THREW
anchors/stabilizers into it.
- The subducted slabs in the trenches prevent planet earth's poles
shift (crust displacement)by acting as anchors for the plates or by
distributing mass inside earth . Underground caves-rivers allow
scientific research:
Q16:15 And He had CAST/THROWN anchors/stabilizers into The Earth so that
it does not shift/sway with you ; and rivers, and paths(caves), so that
you will be guided.
Subducting slabs act as sea anchor:

Many more hints and mathematical formulas are pending to be discovered in The Quran as a gift for its readers/researchers .
Christ was welcomed with open arms by the poor and the Laboring class, those who own just enough to stay alive which meant that they owned no wealth. For to be a Christian one must be a pacifist to the point that you, "Do not use force to overcome evil." Which makes it impossible to own wealth, because the only way to protect wealth is by force and violence. Which is why for over 400 years all the early Christians never used force or violence and dedicated all their time and wealth to helping the poor.
Therefore, as most professed Christians are neither pacifist or poor, as Romans 8:29 states that only by a miracle of God can you have the conviction to be both pacifist and poor, planet earth was created to reach the ultimate conclusion of the force, violence and glory of wealth.
John Ellis "Which makes it impossible to own wealth" - wrong.
Christianity says what? "Imagine the most perfect human being... that s God"? This man has lost all credibility from where I stand. Did he really study religion or is he just a fake? Or is he just making things up and has some weird agenda? Dubious man...
Alex Panea - I’ve personally never understood Christianity’s description of God. Is it a supernatural being? The father of a supernatural being? Does it have human characteristics such as gender, emotions (i.e., love, vengeance, etc...), and an ability for us to communicate with it?
Hi Paul, I am no priest or theologian, but I do all my research to ensure that my time spent at church isn't a waste. So I only speak out of my personal experience. I am a finite mortal being trying to understand myself and a world, non of which I have created. The Christian view is not man trying to describe God, but rather man, documenting the way God has revieled Himself to him. And if one accepts the existence of an absolute supernatural being which is the cause of everything that existst and is infinite in His nature, it would be logical for Him to have to reveal Himself to man and not jst sit and wait for man to discover Him. So point for Christianity on this one.
Now to try to answere your question. In Christianity it is documented, that God created everything that exists and made man in His own image. So it is humans who have Godly characteristics, and not the other way around. Man also has free will and so is not forced to live by Godly standards. The Bibel says God created man out of love. But He doesn't just have the feeling of love, He is Love. So love comes from him and is also a characteristic of humans. But again humans are free, the can act out of a devine space within them or can just be selfish... that is what I understand as freedom. The interaction of God with man is hard to describe, but I do get it in somw way. I think He raised us like a big family, he wants us to seek Him but also for us to work together. I am sure He interacts with us in subtil ways. Some who have dedicated their lives to seeking Him surly get more derict proof and involvement from God. Christianity calls our communication to God Prayer. I gues all people do it in some way. I look at it as I look at Musik and singing. Every person hums and wistles now and then, but some people constantly go to karaoke, and others are real profesional musicians.
I hope what I have written is of some use for you, All the best!
Alex Panea Yes! Don’t you get it? The perfect human being being Jesus. He certainly is the center of Christianity.
Deborah Hoffman, yes Jesus is certainly, fully God and fully Human. And he is the path, but of the people who saw him alive didnät see that. rejected him and wanted him dead. This is why I reject what is being said in this video. I can't imagine a perfect human being. I cant even fully understand what Jesus was like despite all the scripture. Christianity is not a religion of human imagination, but one of divine revelation. There are a lot of religions and philosophies born out of mans struggle to understand God. I see Christianity as Gods struggle to get closer to man. :) But you are right, Jesus is perfect. I just dont trust this Aslan character.
It never ceases to amaze me now easy it is for someone to make a handsome living talking about something that does not exist. A good debater would/could argue easily about the non existence of God. Aslan fails in that respect. That said, I am an atheist and find the historic Jesus of significant value.
Carl, if historical evidence alone has never convinced you of Yeshua's authority, has it ever occurred to you to examine the source of your dilemma?
Here is what makes it impossible for The Quran to be authored by a 7th century illeterate arab ! :

WATER STRATIFICATION:
Existence of barriers which slow & control the mixing between fresh
& salt water in the seas so that each water keeps its
characteristics & species:
''He has set free the two seas meeting together. There is a barrier
between them. They do not transgress (each other).'' (Quran, 55:19-20)
''He
is the one who has set free the two kinds of water, one sweet and
palatable, and the other salty and bitter. And He has made between them a
barrier and a forbidding partition.'' (Quran, 25:53)

THE PREFRONTAL CORTEX::
The prefrontal cortex (the frontal part of the
brain) is responsible for making our decisions , manipulating , lying ,..etc
Quran 96:15 ''Nay, if he(God's enemy) desist not, We shall most surely drag him down upon his forehead(in the judgement day)
96:16
A lying, sinful forehead!''

THE MIRACLE OF IRON IN THE QURAN:
IRON has meteoric origin in our solar system(sent down to Earth &
sunk to the core):'And We sent down iron, in which is great power, and
many benefits for humanity,...'(Quran, chapter Iron 57:25)
This miracle exists in Quran's copies which consider 'Basmalah' as the
1st verse (Basmala is the sentence 'In the name of God,the mercifull' at
the head of each chapter).
Thus,the verse 25 becomes 26(Iron's Atomic number). The number of verses
29 becomes 30(iron's neutrons).Chapter 57 is the core of the Quran(114
chapters). 57 is a stable isotope of iron . Iron has the second most
tightly bound nuclei(Nuclear binding energy).
4-
THE FINGERPRINTS :
In The following verses God mentions his ability (in judgement day) to
recreate not only the bones/skeleton after decomposition in the grave,
but more difficult than that : the tips of fingers (this refers to the
complexity of each paerson's fingerprints) :
75:3 - Does man (a disbeliever) thinks that We shall not assemble his
bones (in the hereafter)?
75:4 - Nay, We are Able to put together in perfect order the tips of his
fingers.

EXPANSION OF THE UNIVERSE :
Quran, 51:47 "And the firmament, We constructed with power and skill and verily We are expanding it.

BIG CRUNCH & ANOTHER BIG BANG (Cyclic universe hypothsis):
Quran, 21:104
"The Day that We roll up the heavens like a scroll rolled up for books
,- even as We produced the first creation, so We will also reproduce it :
a promise We have undertaken: truly shall We fulfill it.
39:67
They have not appraised Allah with true appraisal, while the earth(s)
entirely will be [within] His grip on the Day of Resurrection, and the
heavens will be folded in His right hand. Exalted is He and high above
what they associate with Him.
14:48
[It will be] on the Day the earth will be replaced by another earth,
and the heavens [as well], and all creatures will come out before Allah ,
the One, the Prevailing.

Embryology:
The scientific translation of the verses of embryology:
Q22:5 O mankind! if you are in doubt concerning the Resurrection, then
lo! We (inform you that we ) have created you from a gamete/ovum , then
from a zygote , then from an Blastocyst/adherent , then
from a disc which is differentiated and not differentiated...
ABIOGENESIS (beginning of life) IN CLAY AND EVOLUTION (of man) FROM ANOTHER SPECIES :
Q23:12 And indeed We created man out of a species/progeny/life form which originated from
clay. (12) Thereafter We made him into a Zygote in a welcoming stable
lodging (endometrium). (13) Then We made the zygote into a Blastocyst/adherent , then We made
the Blastocyst/adherent into a disc , then We made out of the disc bones (notochord),
then We clothed the bones with muscles, and then We made him into
another creation. So Blessed is Allâh, the Best of creators
------------------------------------------------
THE SURPRISE:
Adam was a modern human who was created from a female like jesus . He was not the first man :
Quran 3:59
Truly, the likeness of Jesus, in God's sight, is as Adam's likeness; He created him from a gamete/ovum , then said He unto him, 'Be,' and he was being .

THE PHENOMENA OF HYPOXIA (suffocation) IN OUTER SPACE
Quran 6:125
So who God wants that He guides him, He expands his chest to the
Islam/submission (to God); And who He wants that He misguides him, He
makes his chest narrow/tight , constricted , embarrassed as if (he)
ascends in the sky . Like that God makes/puts the obscenity/punishment

EGYPTOLOGY EXCLUSIVELY IN THE QURAN
How & why the great pyramid of Giza was built ? Exclusively in The
Holy Quran:
Why the pyramids were built?:
The pyramids were alligned with some stars because Pharaoh of the exodus
somehow wanted to ascend or to find some celestial ways in order to
watch the god of Moses (perhaps they used to climb up the pyramid &
they also used it to project light up to the sky ):
Quran 40:36 And Pharaoh said, "O Haman, construct for me a tower that I might reach the ways -
40:37
The ways into the heavens - so that I may look at the deity of Moses;
but indeed, I think he is a liar." And thus was made attractive to
Pharaoh the evil of his deed, and he was averted from the [right] way.
And the plan of Pharaoh was not except in ruin.
th-cam.com/video/mMhIx6QEcp0/w-d-xo.html
How the pyramids were built ? :
It is first discovered by Joseph Davidovits(material scientist) then
supported by Michel Barsoum(materials science researcher) that the
blocks of the pyramids are not natural . but they are just moulded
concrete bricks of clay ,lime & water then heated.
Quran 28:38
And Pharaoh said, "O eminent ones, I have not known you to have a god
other than me. Then ignite for me, O Haman, [fire] upon the clay and
make for me a tower that I may look at the God of Moses. And indeed, I
do think he is among the liars."

PLATE TECTONICS & POLES SHIFT IN THE QURAN:
A . SUBDUCTION:
- Sea floor spreading subducted slabs:
Q15:19 And the earth-We had expanded it and CAST/THREW
anchors/stabilizers into it.
- The subducted slabs in the trenches prevent planet earth's poles
shift (crust displacement)by acting as anchors for the plates or by
distributing mass inside earth . Underground caves-rivers allow
scientific research:
Q16:15 And He had CAST/THROWN anchors/stabilizers into The Earth so that
it does not shift/sway with you ; and rivers, and paths(caves), so that
you will be guided.

This is one man's opinion..... not facts at all, his opinion. FIRST of all, he is MUSLIM, and a great public speaker.... He has mentioned in the ASPEN talk ( 50 people in the audience?) that every Jesus gets mentioned on FOX he sells more books.... He said to be glib.... of course he doesn't mind being glib because he doesn't mind making a living on writing his perspectives on Jesus.
Cary Chilton This is certainly a talk based on his observations and studies. He s a scholar.
Cannibal.
He is an utter fool....I feel
He is trying to please almost everyone :) Goody Goody for everyone !!!! Hypocracy :)
Khalid Mahmood something i agree with you. I really like professor Reza. But a few times i had the feeling that he knows the lies about the bible and Jesus are more than he s prepared to tell us.
Still i believe hes doing a great job.
You have to remember that even in Jesus' time of Ministry, 2000 years ago, he was considered a 'radical', with very controversial statements and declarations - that is what led to his crucifixion! If he was teaching today - it would not be much different...
Book should be called Jesus according to Muslims who lie and make him in their image.
