mp3: Debate between Jay Smith and Mohammed Bahmanpour

Audio clip: Adobe Flash Player (version 9 or above) is required to play this audio clip. Download the latest version here. You also need to have JavaScript enabled in your browser.

I found this at winteryknight.wordpress.com

Details:

The Koran claims that Jesus did not die on the cross.

Mohammed Bahmanpour of the Islamic College in London defends the Koranic view that although “it was made to appear to them” that he died, in fact he was substituted by another.

Jay Smith is a Christian evangelist to Muslims in London and brings to bear Biblical and other historical witnesses to the crucifixion.  They debate the issue and whether the Koran or the New Testament is to be trusted as a revelation of God.

Includes listener interactions with the guests.

Format:

Mohammed:
- in Surah 4 (Quran), it says that Jesus didn’t die on a cross
- it only appeared to onlookers as though Jesus died on the cross
- muslims believe that the crucifixion really happened
- but Jesus wasn’t the one who died, it was actually Judas
- most Muslims think that Judas betrayed Jesus
- some Shiites believe that Judas died voluntarily in Jesus’ place
- the gospel of Judas seems to make Judas out to be a hero

Jay:
- the 4 gospels agree that Jesus died on a cross
- John is an eyewitness and it’s in his gospel
- Paul’s writings also echo the gospels (Romans and epistles)
- the gospel of Judas is a fourth century document
- it reflects gnostic theology, which denies that Jesus had a body
- even Surah 19 says that Jesus actually did die and rise after
- so Surah 4 and Surah 19 are internally contradictory

VIDEO: James White vs. Shabir Ally: Is Mohammad Prophesied in the Bible?

James White has posted the recordings of his 2008 debate with Shabir Ally on the topic: Is Mohammad Prophesied in the Bible?

Part 1

Part 2

Please consider donating to Dr. White’s ministry as he will be very busy speaking and traveling in the upcoming months. From Pros Apologian:

Beginning next week I fly to New York twice in August, with a trip to Detroit sandwiched in between. I will be debating twice in New York, once with David Silverman, national representative of the American Atheists, and once with Christopher Ferrara, a Roman Catholic spokesperson and attorney. In the middle of the month I will be in Detroit, doing live programs on ABN (be watching!) and recording other programs during the day, then speaking at the God and Culture Conference that weekend. While some of those costs are covered sometimes (airline tickets, etc.) others are not (rental cars, food, sometimes hotels). Then September has me in Santa Fe and Southern California on consecutive weekends (two debates with Sungenis in Santa Fe, speaking on the doctrines of grace in the Escondido area the next weekend), with a major debate on the Tuesday in between where I will be teaming up with Michael Brown to debate Sir Anthony Buzzard and another unitarian! What a ten day stretch that will be! Then in October I am up in Minneapolis for a Bible conference, and the very next weekend in Newberg, Oregon for another debate with Sungenis. Barely ten days home and off to Peru with Heart Cry Ministries to train pastors in apologetics.

This ministry produces fruit folks. I wouldn’t have mentioned it if I didn’t think it was a worthy cause (and in case you are wondering, no one asked me to either). I have purchased books/mp3s from them and donated multiple times in the past and can assure you that they are trustworthy with money and will stretch each dollar as far as they can! Please prayerfully consider supporting Alpha & Omega Ministries.

Torrent: David Wood mp3s

With all of this chatter online about the Dearborn Four I figured it might be useful to some to get a hold of these mp3s of David Wood. You may not like his conclusions, but if you listen to him debate and talk about Islam you can’t help but conclude that he is knowledgeable. The focus of his doctorate in Philosophy is on the Problem of Evil. I’m really saddened at how many Muslims can look past academic achievement and so much study and personal interest over many years and say “he doesn’t know what he’s talking about.”

My two cents is this: if you can’t explain specifically why he doesn’t know what he is talking about then his point stands.
