Bible Contradiction Paul Conversion

Oct 14 2019

Did Paul’s Conversion Story Contradicts Itself?

One of the ways the skeptics and Muslims attack the Bible is to allege that there are contradictions in the Bible, and because of this, they concludes that the Bible is not a word of God. The Muslims allege that there is a contradiction between Acts 9:7 and Acts 22:9

Is it true that there is contradiction in the conversion story of Paul? How can we explain this supposed contradiction to our Muslims friends? In this video, we examined these verses and explained the context showing there is no contradiction therein.

has the quran eternally existed

Debate Video: Has The Qur’an Eternally Existed?

Here is the recent debate between Dr. James White and Yusuf Ismail on the topic of the Eternal nature of the Qur’an. This is an interesting debate since this is the first debate in video on this subject between a Christian and a Muslim.

Here are some things about the debate I do like to point out.

The debate was about the eternal nature of the Qur’an, I was surprised to see Yusuf changing this into the discussing of Trinity and Tawheed, Dr. White had to call him to remind of him the issue at hand.

I also enjoyed the cross examination session, can you imagine a student who have not learnt Greek, or have just started learning Greek arguing with a professor of Greek language on what he can’t even defend?

This is exactly what happened Yusuf was tutored by Dr White on John 1:1 (not the first time though)

Another classic example of double standard I noticed was when Yusuf said there wasn’t a “once upon a time story in the Quran”

First of, Allah told us that the Qur’an is the BEST story book in the world, so how can you make a claim that they weren’t once upon a time stories there, what about the stories of Lot repeated by Allah several times (with inconsistencies)?

I encourage everyone to watch this debate to get a full grasp of the issue at hand.

An overall good debate, and a discussion worth debating more.

hafs and warsh variants

Quranic Variant that Changes the Meaning – Hafs and Warsh

One of the claims of the Muslim for the perfect preservation of the Qur’an is that, since its revelation and down to the compilation, the Qur’an has maintained it pristine position, and that not a word, letter or even jot had changed! In order to validate this, Muslim apologist are quick to verse 9 of the 15th chapter of the Qur’an, which states;

We have, without doubt, sent down the Message; and We will assuredly guard it (from corruption). – Yusuf Ali

Muslim Apologist and exegetes, had in the time past and currently used this verse as an evidence of Allah’s promise to protect the Qur’an from changes (corruption), in form of addition and omission. One of Islam’s most popular and respected tafsir, the tafsir of the Al Jalalayn has this to say on the verse in question;

Verily it is We nahnu emphasises the subject of inna or functions as a separating pronoun Who have revealed the Remembrance the Qur’ān and assuredly We will preserve it against substitution distortion additions and omissions. – Tafsir al-Jalalayn

Interestingly, only few Muslim Apologist makes the claim again due to the manuscripts evidence that are now being discovered from recent examinations and analysis. A good example is the recent publication of Dr. Dan Brubaker on the , you might want to see the book promo here if you haven’t, you might also want to see Dr. Jay Smith’s debate with Mansur Ahmed on this at the speaker’s corner here as well. Finally, if you haven’t bought the book, you could get it on Amazon by clicking on this link.

With that said, we want take a look at another interesting aspect of this subject, namely the readings of the Qur’an. Many Muslims today are faced with the dilemma presented by the various readings of the Qur’an available today, many are even reluctant to call them variant readings, they prefer to call them just readings of the Qur’an. Out of the multiple readings of the Qur’an that exist today, we will only examine and compare that of Hafs and Warsh, the reason being that, these two are the widely used in the Muslim ummah today.

Even though the Hafs is widely used in 90% of the Muslim world today, and the Warsh reading with about 10%, we shall examine a few textual variant between these two readings and see if they change the meaning of not. Many Muslims and Muslim Apologist claim that these readings do not really change the meaning, but are merely complementing to one another, and that the message are exactly these same, the truth is, this claim is completely false.
