"Progressive Christianity" isn't Christianity. Over on 🧵 this one tried to challenge me. My response to her 👇 It's not the answer I "𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁". It's the εὐαγγέλιον Jesus taught. Tell me, in mathematics which number comes before the other: 3 or 15? I only ask because you mentioned John 15, and last I checked John 3 comes before that, which marks the 𝙗𝙚𝙜𝙞𝙣𝙣𝙞𝙣𝙜 of Jesus' ministry. What does Jesus say at the 𝙗𝙚𝙜𝙞𝙣𝙣𝙞𝙣𝙜? You must be 𝘣𝘰𝘳𝘯 𝘢𝘨𝘢𝘪𝘯. Maybe that's just Gospel of John though. 🤔🤔 In Matthew 4:17 the earliest ministry statement he made was "𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗲𝗻𝘁 for the kingdom of heaven is at hand". Mark 1:15 says the same thing, "repent". Luke 5:32 says that he had come to call sinners to repentance. So.....yeah I guess.🤷🏼‍♂️ The Gospel message is belief in Jesus, repentance, transformation, forgiveness, and eternal life in Jesus. THAT is the answer to the question. It's not my interpretation. It's what Jesus taught. It is the εὐαγγέλιον. It is the Gospel.

Islam is struggling.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Oh man #OrthoDucklips (@muslimorthodoxy) Thank you for the sitcom of your debate with #VocabMalone. You got thoroughly EMBARRASED. You got thoroughly CURB-STOMPED. You got thoroughly EVISCERATED. You barked like a filthy dog while Malone tap danced on your false prophet's grave. Thank you for showing everyone Islam is a false religion. There is no valid reason to trust the Quran 🤣😆👉☪️

There is no valid reason to trust the Quran

With respect to Dr Ehrman this is false. 1 Corinthians 11:23–25 Paul mentions the event of Jesus' betrayal. While it does not explicitly call Judas out by name it's reasonable to conclude he did in fact know about the circumstances surrounding the event. I don't need to know the names of the 9/11 hijackers to know it really happened, and even if I did, my not mentioning them does not add to or take away from it's validity

That's just the thing though, Jesus doesn't deny it. You can't cherry-pick a verse out of context like that the thesis statement drives interpretation. This is how exegesis works. In Mark several times Jesus refers to himself as the Son of Man. That's all fine & good until you get to Mark 14:62. The chief priest asks is he is the Son of YHWH the blessed one. Jesus replies “I am, and you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of Power and 𝙘𝙤𝙢𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙬𝙞𝙩𝙝 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙘𝙡𝙤𝙪𝙙𝙨 𝙤𝙛 𝙝𝙚𝙖𝙫𝙚𝙣.” Who alone comes riding on the clouds of Heaven? Deuteronomy 33:26 "There is none like the God of Jeshurun, 𝙬𝙝𝙤 𝙧𝙞𝙙𝙚𝙨 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙝𝙚𝙖𝙫𝙚𝙣𝙨 𝙩𝙤 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙖𝙞𝙙, 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙘𝙡𝙤𝙪𝙙𝙨 in His majesty." Who alone comes riding on the clouds of Heaven? Isaiah 19:1 This is the burden against Egypt: 𝘽𝙚𝙝𝙤𝙡𝙙, 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙇𝙊𝙍𝘿 𝙧𝙞𝙙𝙚𝙨 𝙤𝙣 𝙖 𝙨𝙬𝙞𝙛𝙩 𝙘𝙡𝙤𝙪𝙙; He is coming to Egypt. The idols of Egypt will tremble before Him, and the hearts of the Egyptians will melt within them. Who alone comes riding on the clouds of Heaven? Psalm 104:2-3 He wraps Himself in light as with a garment; He stretches out the heavens like a tent, laying the beams of His chambers in the waters above, 𝙢𝙖𝙠𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙘𝙡𝙤𝙪𝙙𝙨 𝙃𝙞𝙨 𝙘𝙝𝙖𝙧𝙞𝙤𝙩, 𝙬𝙖𝙡𝙠𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙤𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙬𝙞𝙣𝙜𝙨 𝙤𝙛 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙬𝙞𝙣𝙙 Who alone comes riding on the clouds of Heaven? Daniel 7:13 and I saw One like the Son of Man 𝙘𝙤𝙢𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙬𝙞𝙩𝙝 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙘𝙡𝙤𝙪𝙙𝙨 𝙤𝙛 𝙝𝙚𝙖𝙫𝙚𝙣. Who alone comes riding on the clouds of Heaven? Revelation 14:14 And I looked and saw a white cloud, and 𝙨𝙚𝙖𝙩𝙚𝙙 𝙤𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙘𝙡𝙤𝙪𝙙 was One like the Son of Man, with a golden crown on His head and a sharp sickle in His hand Even Surah 2:210 shares this imagery. When Jesus made his claim that he'll be the one riding on the clouds, everyone present understood what that meant. Jesus claimed to be GOD. You can't cherry-pick a verse out of context like that the thesis statement drives interpretation. This is how exegesis works.

This is the future of Islam:

Is this you in this picture? When was the Quran written? Why is there zero evidence of a pre-7th century Islam? Why are you saying YES to this double standard? The estimate for the earliest Gospel account is roughly 40 years. True. However, your conclusion is false. You falsely resolve that therefore none of this existed prior. What do the facts tell us? Paul's letters to the Thessalonians and Romans are from decades before Mark's account. In it we see evidence of a strong oral tradition and creed dating back to the very beginning of the apostles' teaching. The Gospel isn't a mere book. It's not four books. The Gospel is the unified message is God's redemptive salvation through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ the Immanuel.

I laugh every time when one of you tries to cherry-pick Bible verses thinking it'll help you. So you're a lawyer eh? Tell me law guy, what does a thesis statement do for a written work? As any educated person knows it sets the author's purpose and direction. It is the lens through which the rest of the writing is focused. Mark's thesis statement is in 1:1-11. At Peter's dictation Mark establishes Jesus is God. Using Isaiah & Malachi he establishes John the Baptist is the voice in the desert preparing the way for YHWH, who is Jesus the Messiah. So by cherry-picking Mark 10:18, the only thing you accomplish is showing why taking verses out of context will always fail. Reject Muhammad's lies. There is no salvation in Islam. There is no valid reason to trust the Quran

Here's why you're wrong. The Bible never gives Mary's age. The source you guys use is a late 2nd century pseudepigraphal forgery. It's not God-inspired scripture. Even so, using the forgery as a source it also says Mary remained a V-I-R-G-I-N. So already your imbecilic argument fails. Second it's you guys who say Muhammad is "the greatest moral example for all time". For what time? For 𝘼𝙇𝙇 𝙏𝙄𝙈𝙀. This means his morality is non-temporal, and creates a dilemma for you. Muhammad had sex with a child. If he's the greatest example, you🫵 MUST believe pedophilia is a 𝙢𝙤𝙧𝙖𝙡 𝙜𝙤𝙤𝙙 today. But if it's morally evil today, then you🫵 MUST conclude Muhammad is not the greatest moral example for all time. And that's the Muhammad Moral Dilemma, and your "it was the custom back then" doesn't hold up.

So you agree Islam didn't exist prior, and therefore Jesus WASN'T a Muslim. Glad we agree.

The Quran's claims about confirmation of the Bible aren't "general confirmation". Rather, the Quran goes out of its way to claim it FULLY confirms the kitab of the Christians and Jews. But where? Glad you asked 😉 Surah 2:85 confirms the full Torah without qualification. Total confirmation. Better yet Surah 5:43-48 establishes that Jews & Christians, in Muhammad's day, possessed the Torah & Injil, and to get their just rulings from them. It establishes the kitab of the Christians and Jews is every bit as valid & authoritative as Allah's divine judgements through Muhammad. It even wraps it up by claiming the Quran is a guardian protector for them. This is 100% full confirmation. Period. Furthermore, there is not one single ayah that states the text of the kitab of the Christians and Jews had been corrupted. Zero. From the perspective of the Quran the kitab of the Christians and Jews is fully confirmed without corruption. ✝️😎

Looks like the "religion of peace" has been busy today. Ya hear me @MasterMaliq?? THIS is Islam reuters.com/world/middle-eas…

I hereby accept Islam...is a false religion full of lies. There is no salvation in Islam. There is no valid reason to trust the Quran

Swing and a miss habibi. None of these are a challenge to Christianity. Let me introduce you to the concept of a "thesis statement". In scholarship the concept of a thesis statement sets the purpose for the remainder of the written work. You used verses from John. John 1:1-3 presents the author's thesis statement, namely that Jesus the Logos is GOD. Everything that follows is focused through that lens. How about Mark? In chapter 1 he Jesus as YHWH God. 1 Corinthians?? Are you serious? You're cherry-picking Paul, the fella you guys hate? Your whole argument is invalid.

Dear Muslims, do you actually think this is an actual intelligent argument?? <sigh> Islam is a religion of Muhammad who never met: * Jesus * Allah * any angels whatsoever Islam is a lie. There is no valid reason to trust the Quran

See guys? I'm critical of Christians too. Before this guy blocked me he claimed Ron Wyatt was an archeologist who personally found * The Ark of the Covenant * Samples of Jesus' "half DNA" blood * The Holy Grail * Noah's Ark * and more The problem is, it's all a lie. He made it all up. A complete fraud. You can see my response to this Christian guy, whose retort was "nuh-UH!!". My allegiance is to truth, always.
