It is the word of God. [0:02](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/gL3R2jXjvywT/en/debate-on-the-quran-the-gospels-and-jesus-divinity?t=2) But it was written by Muhammad. It was not written by Muhammad. [0:05](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/gL3R2jXjvywT/en/debate-on-the-quran-the-gospels-and-jesus-divinity?t=5) Who wrote it? Muhammad was illiterate. He didn't know how to write or read. Who wrote it? [0:09](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/gL3R2jXjvywT/en/debate-on-the-quran-the-gospels-and-jesus-divinity?t=9) It was the word of God. It is divine word. [0:12](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/gL3R2jXjvywT/en/debate-on-the-quran-the-gospels-and-jesus-divinity?t=12) You see? It's every single time. They're very consistent. I appreciate it. [0:17](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/gL3R2jXjvywT/en/debate-on-the-quran-the-gospels-and-jesus-divinity?t=17) All right? It is the word of God, and they're very passionate about it. [0:20](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/gL3R2jXjvywT/en/debate-on-the-quran-the-gospels-and-jesus-divinity?t=20) I respect your passion. There's no way you can rationally have a conversation with that. [0:25](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/gL3R2jXjvywT/en/debate-on-the-quran-the-gospels-and-jesus-divinity?t=25) The same way, if you ask me, "Why do you believe the Bible's the word of God?" [0:29](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/gL3R2jXjvywT/en/debate-on-the-quran-the-gospels-and-jesus-divinity?t=29) And I look you in the face and I say, "Because it's the word of God," rational discourse has broken down. [0:33](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/gL3R2jXjvywT/en/debate-on-the-quran-the-gospels-and-jesus-divinity?t=33) My second philosophical problem with Islam is my Muslim friends inform me Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John are inaccurate. [0:40](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/gL3R2jXjvywT/en/debate-on-the-quran-the-gospels-and-jesus-divinity?t=40) They're perverted gospels. In fact, it's been changed, they will say. [0:42](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/gL3R2jXjvywT/en/debate-on-the-quran-the-gospels-and-jesus-divinity?t=42) Right. Exactly. So then obviously the next question is, "Well, where are the unperverted ones?" [0:47](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/gL3R2jXjvywT/en/debate-on-the-quran-the-gospels-and-jesus-divinity?t=47) Unfortunately, my Muslim friends cannot produce the unperverted ones. [0:51](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/gL3R2jXjvywT/en/debate-on-the-quran-the-gospels-and-jesus-divinity?t=51) Instead, what my Muslim friends ask me to believe is that a revelation that Muhammad had 500 years after Jesus, which obviously means Muhammad never met Jesus, that that book, the Quran, is a more accurate presentation of the historical Jesus than the gospels written by the eyewitnesses. [1:08](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/gL3R2jXjvywT/en/debate-on-the-quran-the-gospels-and-jesus-divinity?t=68) Well, I'm sorry. Whenever I want to study an historical person, I don't go running to a guy who lived 500 years after the fact. [1:15](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/gL3R2jXjvywT/en/debate-on-the-quran-the-gospels-and-jesus-divinity?t=75) I want to go to the eyewitnesses. I'm not gonna trust Martin Scorsese to be my primary source of information about Jesus. [1:21](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/gL3R2jXjvywT/en/debate-on-the-quran-the-gospels-and-jesus-divinity?t=81) Martin Scorsese never met Jesus, neither did Cecil B. DeMille. [1:24](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/gL3R2jXjvywT/en/debate-on-the-quran-the-gospels-and-jesus-divinity?t=84) I'm gonna go back to Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John who lived in the first century to be my primary source of information about Jesus. [1:30](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/gL3R2jXjvywT/en/debate-on-the-quran-the-gospels-and-jesus-divinity?t=90) My third philosophical problem with Islam is my Muslim friends have great respect for Jesus. [1:34](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/gL3R2jXjvywT/en/debate-on-the-quran-the-gospels-and-jesus-divinity?t=94) In fact, my Muslim friends respect Jesus far more than the typical American does. [1:39](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/gL3R2jXjvywT/en/debate-on-the-quran-the-gospels-and-jesus-divinity?t=99) My Muslim friends believe that Jesus was born of a virgin, that he ascended to heaven, and that he's coming back a second time. [1:45](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/gL3R2jXjvywT/en/debate-on-the-quran-the-gospels-and-jesus-divinity?t=105) Well, that's far more than the typical American believes about Jesus. [1:48](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/gL3R2jXjvywT/en/debate-on-the-quran-the-gospels-and-jesus-divinity?t=108) But my Muslim friends say that although Jesus speaks the absolute truth, Muhammad also speaks absolute truth, and the problem is they contradict each other on certain points. [1:58](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/gL3R2jXjvywT/en/debate-on-the-quran-the-gospels-and-jesus-divinity?t=118) You cannot have A be absolute true and then B be absolute true if A and B contradict each other, 'cause that does nothing then but to allow for C to come along claiming C is absolute truth in spite of the fact that C contradicts both B and A. You cannot have an absolute truth contradicted by another absolute truth. [2:16](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/gL3R2jXjvywT/en/debate-on-the-quran-the-gospels-and-jesus-divinity?t=136) Did Jesus ever claim to be God? Yeah, he sure did. When, in the Bible? [2:19](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/gL3R2jXjvywT/en/debate-on-the-quran-the-gospels-and-jesus-divinity?t=139) John 8:58, Jesus says, "Before Abraham was born, I am." [2:22](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/gL3R2jXjvywT/en/debate-on-the-quran-the-gospels-and-jesus-divinity?t=142) In John 10:30, Jesus says, "I and the Father are one." [2:25](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/gL3R2jXjvywT/en/debate-on-the-quran-the-gospels-and-jesus-divinity?t=145) In John 14:9, Jesus says, "He who has seen me has seen the Father." [2:28](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/gL3R2jXjvywT/en/debate-on-the-quran-the-gospels-and-jesus-divinity?t=148) Clearly, Jesus claimed to be God. So he was both human and God at the same time is what- That's what he claimed. [2:33](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/gL3R2jXjvywT/en/debate-on-the-quran-the-gospels-and-jesus-divinity?t=153) Maybe he was a lunatic, but that's what he claimed. [2:36](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/gL3R2jXjvywT/en/debate-on-the-quran-the-gospels-and-jesus-divinity?t=156) He wasn't a lunatic. He was a prophet. Well, he claimed to be God in human form, which means he's more than a prophet. [2:41](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/gL3R2jXjvywT/en/debate-on-the-quran-the-gospels-and-jesus-divinity?t=161) He's God in human form. That's what he claimed. [2:42](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/gL3R2jXjvywT/en/debate-on-the-quran-the-gospels-and-jesus-divinity?t=162) But God is something that's superior to human form, so it doesn't make sense for a god to be human because he wouldn't necessarily be higher than the others. [2:49](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/gL3R2jXjvywT/en/debate-on-the-quran-the-gospels-and-jesus-divinity?t=169) My first point is God is not something. The Bible ins- says that God is someone, a personal being, and it's totally possible for a personal being as the creator- Well, he made all of the humans
