List of Osama Abdallah's
fabricated lies & deliberate alteration of quotes, WITH CLEAR-CUT PROOFS!
Quennel Gale
Recently Osama Abdallah has gone on a tyraid
accusing anybody who disagrees with Islam, a liar and various other names. On his
latest article he has accused Mr. Craig Winn of lying against Islam and
Muhammad.
http://www.answering-christianity.com/craig_winns_list_of_lies.htm
What
Mr. Abdallah seems to forget is that there exists an abundance of evidence of
his lies and misrepresentations against others. In this article we will
demonstrate many of these lies from time memorial and prove to you once and for
all that “a true liar can’t afford to call others by the same name”. We begin
here:
LIE #1. ADAM 90 FEET? BUT WAIT SINCE
IT WAS WRONG IT ISN’T HIS FAULT THOUGH HE SAID IT WAS RIGHT FOR OVER 2 YEARS!
Here is the first
evidence we present to you regarding Osama Abdallah lying, taken from his own
website:
http://www.answering-christianity.com/adam_90_feet_tall.htm
While
I openly admitted and still admit (because I have nothing to fear)
that I was wrong in not posting a WARNING MESSAGE on the top
of the article, telling the reader that this article requires further
investigation, but I assumed that it was pretty much self-explanatory
and that my readers did understand my intentions because I got used to so many
contributions to my site's articles.
The
reason why I removed this article was not because Jochen
Katz exposed me as he so hopelessly convinced himself to have accomplished, but
rather because I finally came to the conclusion after so many debates on my
previous message board right in front of Jochen Katz'
eyes (since he was a participant on my board) that the Hadiths
(the collections of Prophet Muhammad's Sayings) are like the Bible; they are
filled with man's corruption.
Osama tries to cover up
his obvious blunder on Adam by throwing out this information on the Hadith and the Bible. However, Osama failed to tell you
that Denis Giron made up this claim which Mr. Katz
pointed out:
http://www.answering-islam.org/Responses/Osama/90feet-adam.htm
Even Mr. Giron showed how stupid and naïve Osama Abdallah truly is
and how he duped him:
http://www.geocities.com/freethoughtmecca/profiles2.html
To show you just how
silly Osama is to the apologetic world, look what his own fellow Muslim Nadir
Ahmed wrote about him:
Debate Review:
Is Muhammad(P) a True Prophet?
Osama Abdullah vs. Sam Shamoun
http://www.examinethetruth.com/
The foolish,
ignorant and sloppy Osama Abdullah smashes the Bible irrevocably, and exposes
Sam Shamoun’s Lord and Savior as nothing more than a
“rat” on the run, thus winning the debate.
Osama Abdullah, has to be one of the
worst debaters I have ever seen. He had probably one of the worst
performance imaginable, and because of
his stupidity, he was a complete embarrassment for Islam. For the most
part, he was self contradictory,
delusional, and at times out right absurd, but in spite of all that, in the end,
he pulled through and won the debate, proving Prophet Muhammed(P)
was a true Prophet and the Bible a corrupt document. To Sam Shamoun’s
credit, he did do a good job of exposing Osama Abdullah as a fool who conducts shoddy research. The over confident Shamoun clearly demonstrated that Osama’s website http://www.answering-christianity.org/ is well over rated, and is not all that meets the eye, as
Osama would like people to think. But that
is where it ended for Shamoun.
See this for yourself;
Stupid, Absurd, Delusional. Perfect descriptions of Osama Abdallah. For more on
how Sam exposed Nadir Ahmed and his red herring, even though it was Nadir who
called Osama all these wonderful names, please see here:

LIE #2. CLAIMING THAT SOLOMON WAS
COMMITTING “ILLEGAL SEX”!
The book of Song of Songs:
"Verse 1 appears
to ascribe authorship to Solomon. Solomon is referred to seven times, and
several verses speak of the 'king', but whether he was the author remains an
open question. (From the NIV Bible
Commentary, page 997)"
"Two
lovers, Solomon and a Shulamite girl, express their
feelings for one another, with occasional comments made by friends. (From the King James Version Commentary, page 945)"
Notice how he quoted part of the KJV commentary. Then he
tries to argue from his site:
The KJV Bible's Theologians
and Historians say that the porn-full
book talks about Solomon and his lover. But we don't know whether it
was Solomon who wrote this book or not, nor do we know whether this is some
ridiculous poem and a lie written after he died or not.
One must ask a simple
question here: Why should there be "lovers" in the Bible?
Why should there be illegal sex and
disgusting pornography in the Bible? - http://www.answering-christianity.com/authors_gospels.htm
Notice the term “illegal sex”. What is illegal sex in Islam? Dr. Shahid Athar explains:
Concept of Adultery in Islam
God says in the Quran, "Do not go near to adultery. Surely it is a shameful
deed and evil, opening roads (to other evils)" (17:32). "Say, 'Verily, my
Lord has prohibited the shameful deeds, be it open or secret, sins and
trespasses against the truth and reason"' (7:33). "Women impure are
for men impure, and men impure are for women impure and women of purity are for
men of purity, and men of purity are for women of purity" (24:26). Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), has said in many
place that adultery is one of the three major sins. However the most
interesting story is that of a young man who went to the Prophet and asked for
permission to fornicate because he could not control himself. The Prophet dealt
with him with reasoning and asked him if
he would approve of someone else having illegal sex with his mother,
sister, daughter or wife. Each time the man said 'no'. Then the Prophet replied
that the woman with whom you plan to have sex is also somebody's mother,
sister, daughter or wife. The man understood and repented. The Prophet prayed
for his forgiveness.
Adultery is a crime not against
one person but against the whole of society. It is a violation of marital
contract. 50% of
all first time marriages in this country result in divorce in two years and the
main reason for divorce is the adultery of one of the partners. Adultery, which
includes both pre-marital and extra marital sex, is an epidemic in this
society. Nobody seems to listen to the
Bible which says frequently, "Thou shall not commit adultery." The Quranic approach is, "Do not approach adultery."
What does it mean that not only is
illegal sex prohibited, but anything which leads to illegal sex is also
illegal? These things include dating, provocative dress, nudity, obscenity and pornography.
The dress code both for men and women is to protect them from temptation and
desires by on lookers who may lose self-control and fall into sin. "Say to
the believing men that they should lower their gaze and guard their modesty;
that will make for greater purity, and God is well acquainted with all they do.
And say to the believing woman that they should lower their gaze, and guard
their modesty" (24:30-3 1).
Concept of Marriage in Islam
Islam
recognizes the strong sexual urge and desire for reproduction. Thus Islam encourages marriage as a legal
sexual means and as a shield from immorality (sex without commitment). In
Islam the marriage of a man and woman is not just a financial and legal living
arrangement, not even just for reproduction, but providing a total commitment
to each other, a contract witnessed by God. Love and joy of companionship is a
part of the commitment. A married couple assumes a new social status and
responsibility for himself, his wife and his children and for the community.
The Quran says, "Among His signs is that He
created consorts for you from among yourself, so that you may find tranquillity with them, and (He) set love and compassion
between you. Verily in this are signs for people who reflect" (30:21).
Sayings of prophet Mohammed 
"Marriage is my tradition. He
who rejects my tradition is not of me" (Bukhari,
Muslim).
"Marriage is half of
religion. The other half is being God-fearing" (Tabarani,
Hakim).
In
Islam there is no fixed rule as to the age of marriage. It is becoming
fashionable for young Muslim men not to marry until they have completed their
education, have a job, or reached age 26-30 or more. Similarly young Muslim
girls say they want to marry after age 24. Why? When asked, they say, "I
am not ready for it." Not ready for what? Don't they have normal sexual
desire? If the answer is yes, then they have only one of the two choices a)
marry or b) postpone sex (abstinence until they marry). The Quran
says, "Let those who find not the where withal for marriage, to keep them
selves chaste till God find them the means from His Grace" (24:33).
The
Prophet said, "Those of you who own the means should marry, otherwise
should keep fasting for it curbs desires" (Ibn Massoud). The Western reason for delaying marriage is
different than ours. When I suggested this to one of my sexually active young
female patients, she bluntly said, "I don't want to sleep with the same
guy every night." - http://www.islamfortoday.com/athar19.htm
As you can clearly see here, “ILLEGAL SEX” IN ISLAM IS ADULTERY or
fornication. So Osama Abdallah is claiming that Song of Song’s is pornographic
because Solomon is allegedly committing adultery! He even uses the KJV quote
below to try and prove his point. Notice in green shade what he quoted and what
the full quote actually says:
Two lovers,
Solomon and A Shulamite girl, express their feelings
for one another, with occasional comments made by friends. The book has no narrative sections, being composed
entirely of speeches to each other. The
Song of Solomon is a celebration OF MARITAL LOVE, UNABASHEDLY PHYSICAL AND
EARTHLY (though not lewd). While the song is a straightforward love song,
not an allegory, Christians do know that behind
the bliss OF MARITAL LOVE stands the eternal love of God, which sanctifies the
love of men and women. HUSBANDS AND WIVES can love each other with physical
delight because they know the spirit of Christ purifies all human
relationships (From the King James Version Commentary, page 945)" Full
Quote
There is no porn found here. This
is between a husband and a wife SO OSAMA LIED ABOUT SOLOMON! If Osama has a
problem with this then why did he get married and have a kid? Is he committing
porn?
LIE#3. SAYS
THE BIBLE TALKS ABOUT WOMEN’S VAGINAS WHEN HE DOESN’T EVEN KNOW THE HEBREW WORD
FOR VAGINA LET ALONE FINDING IT IN THE HEBREW TEXT!
His
sister's vagina tastes like "wine":
"How
beautiful your sandaled feet, O prince's daughter! Your graceful legs are
like jewels, the work of a craftsman's hands. Your navel is a
rounded goblet that never lacks blended wine. Your waist is a
mound of wheat encircled by lilies. Your breasts are like two
fawns, twins of a gazelle. Your neck is like an ivory tower.
Your eyes are the pools of Heshbon by the gate of
Bath Rabbi.
.......
I said 'I
will climb the palm tree; I will take hold of its fruit.' May your
breasts be like the clusters of the vine, the fragrance of your breath like
apples, and your mouth like the best wine. (The NIV Bible, Song of Songs
7:1-4, 8-9)"
According to
the documentary film "Sex in the Bible" on A&E TV Station,
the Hebrew translation to "Your naval" is referring to the woman's
VAGINA. The English translators substituted the word "NAVEL"
WITH "VAGINA." Please rent a copy of the movie and watch
it. This was sent to me by my dear brother in Islam Mike who embraced
Islam just recently; may Allah Almighty always be pleased with him.
If his theologians and scholars
were objective and truthful then they should have shown from the Hebrew text
where the word “navel” was actually the word “vagina”. Look at the Jewish
translation of the Bible and see for yourself what the verse actually says:
Thy NAVEL is like a round goblet, wherein
no mingled wine is wanting; thy BELLY
is like a heap of wheat set about with lilies. 7:3 Jewish Publication Society
(JPS) http://www.breslov.com/bible/Song_of_Songs7.htm#2
shârerêkh 'aggan hassahar
'al-yechsar hammâzegh bithnêkh `arêmath chithiym sughâh bashoshanniym- Hebrew transliteration
Now is Osama going to accuse the
Hebrew native Jewish translators of misunderstanding their own language now?
Why didn’t they translate it as the word ‘vagina’? Also what is missing from
Osama’s argument is “the Hebrew word for vagina”. If he wanted to prove to
us that these theologians were correct then he should have said “the Hebrew
word for vagina is this, and the Bible actually has this word in Song of Songs
and it was mistranslated as navel”. Instead he claims some cable T.V.
documented something, while not presenting us any transcript or full video clip
of this show to verify if it is true or not. However, Osama’s fantastical claim
leaves Islam in a flux. As the Learner mentions:
As far as
the first question is concerned, it is obvious that the Qur'an,
as any decent and sober literature would do, has only avoided direct
reference (in words) to the male sexual organ. Through the words that it has
used, the Qur'an has made a complete euphemistic
reference to the point of emanation of the sperm, while successfully
avoiding naming it. Naming it would definitely have negatively affected the
literary value of the Qur'an. (Learner of
understanding Islam site)
The Quran does in fact explicitly
refer to the sexual parts of a human, specifically the sexual areas of a woman,
in rather vulgar fashion. For instance, in narrating the virginal conception
and birth of Jesus the Quran unashamedly refers to
Mary as one that guarded her sexual organ:
And
(remember) her who guarded her SEXUAL ORGAN (Arabic-farjahaa):
We breathed into her from Our Spirit, and We made her and her son a Sign for
all people. S. 21:91
And Mary the daughter of 'Imran, who guarded her SEXUAL ORGAN (Arabic-farjahaa) and We breathed INTO IT of Our spirit;
and she testified to the truth of the words of her Lord and of His revelations,
and was one of the devout (servants). S. 66:12
Mahmoud M. Ayoub contrasts the birth
narratives of the Gospel of Luke with that mentioned in the Quran.
All bold and capital emphasis is ours:
"The
language of this verse (author- Luke 1:35) is clearly circumspect. It
implies no sexual union or divine generation of any kind. Furthermore, while
Luke's description agrees both in form and spirit with the Qur'anic
idea of the conception of Christ, the language of the Qur'an
IS FAR MORE GRAPHIC AND OPEN TO INTERPRETATION." (Christian-Muslim
Encounters, ed. Yvonne Yazbeck Haddad & Wadi Z. Haddad [University Press of Florida, 1995], p. 67)
He goes on to say:
"...Then
of Mary He (author-allegedly God) continues: 'And she who guarded well [lit.
fortified] her chastity [lit. GENERATIVE ORGAN], and thus We breathed INTO
HER of our spirit, and We made her and her son a sign [or miracle, 'Aya] for all beings' (S. 21:90-91) ...
"In the second instance the Qur'an speaks of Mary as a righteous woman who lived in
strict chastity and obedience to God: 'And Mary daughter of 'Imran who guarded well her GENERATIVE ORGAN farjaha, and thus We breathed INTO HER of
our spirit' (S. 66:12). THE BOLD AND GRAPHIC STATEMENT APPEARS TO HAVE
SHOCKED TRADITIONISTS AND COMMENTATORS, so that most of them tried to cover it
up with different and FARFETCHED significations or glossed over it with out
comment...
"Ibn
Kathir interprets the phrase 'guarded well her
generative organ' to mean: 'safeguarded and protected it. Guarding well ihsan signifies chastity and high birth.' He
comments on the phrase, 'and thus We breathed into it of our spirit' thus 'that
is, through the angel Gabriel. This is because God sent him to her, and he took
for her the form of a man of good stature (S. 19:17). God commanded him to
breathe INTO THE BREAST OF HER CHEMISE. HIS BREATH WENT DOWN AND PENETRATED
HER GENERATIVE ORGAN, AND THUS CAUSED HER TO CONCEIVE JESUS..."
(Ibid.)
Finally:
"Abu
Ja'far al-Tusi, the jurist
doctor of the Shi'i community, as well as his well
known disciple al-Tabarsi, read the words, 'We
breathed INTO IT' literally. Al-Tusi says: 'It
has been held that Gabriel BREATHED INTO MARY'S GENERATIVE ORGAN then
God created Christ in it'..." (Ibid., p. 68)
Here is Ibn Kathir's
commentary on S. 66:12:
<And
Maryam, the daughter of 'Imran
who guarded her chastity (PRIVATE PART).> meaning who protected
and purified her honor, by being chaste and free of immorality,
<And We breathed INTO IT
(PRIVATE PART) through Our Ruh,> meaning,
through the angel Jibril. Allah sent the angel Jibril to Maryam, and he came to
her in the shape of a man in every respect. Allah commanded him TO BLOW into
a gap of her garment and that breath went into her womb THROUGH HER PRIVATE
PART; this is how 'Isa was conceived. This is why
Allah said here,
<And We breathed INTO IT
through Our Ruh, and she testified to the truth of
her Lords Kalimat, and His Kutub,>
meaning His decree and His legislation. (Tafsir
Ibn Kathir - Abridged,
Volume 10, Surat At-Tagabun
to the end of the Qur'an, pp. 75-76; bold and
capital emphasis ours)
Muhammad Asad also recognized
that the term farjahaa literally meant the
sexual area of a woman. Asad comments on S. 21:91 and
states:
"...
As for the description of Mary as allati ahsanat farjaha,
idiomatically denoting 'one who guarded her chastity' (lit., 'HER PRIVATE PARTS')..."
(Asad, The Message of the Qur'an
[Dar Al-Andalus Limited, 3 Library Ramp, Gibraltar,
rpt. 1993], p. 500, f. 87; bold and capital emphasis ours)
Another rather explicit reference to a woman's sexual area
includes:
"Surely
for the godfearing awaits a place of security,
gardens and vineyards, and maidens of SWELLING BREASTS (kawa'ib), like of age, and a cup overflowing."
S. 78:33 Arberry (see also Dawood,
Rodwell)
Ibn Kathir comments on the meaning of kawa'ib:
<And vineyards, and Kawa'ib Atrab,>
meaning, wide-eyed maidens WITH FULLY DEVELOPED BREASTS. Ibn 'Abbas, Mujahid
and others have said,
<Kawa'ib>
"This means ROUND BREASTS. They meant by this THAT THE BREASTS OF THESE
GIRLS WILL BE FULLY ROUNDED AND NOT SAGGING, because they will be virgins,
equal in age..." (Ibid., pp. 333-334; bold and capital emphasis ours)
To imagine that in paradise one finds women with firm round
breasts for sexual pleasure is rather incredulous to say the least. Not only is
the Hebrew word for “vagina” not found in the verse Osama claims (Song of Songs
7:2) but an explicit reference to the female sexual organ is found in the Quran. In Osama’s words we now have
PORN IN THE SEX-FILLED QURAN ALONG WITH BIG BREASTED WOMEN!
LIE#4. SAYS
THE ORIGNAL PEOPLE OF KEDAR (THE ARABS) ARE 100% MUSLIM
6. "I, the
LORD , have called you in righteousness; I will take hold of your hand. I will
keep you and will make you to be a covenant for the people and a
light for the Gentiles,
......
11. Let the desert and its towns raise their voices; let the
settlements where Kedar lives rejoice.
Let the people of Sela sing for joy; let them shout
from the mountaintops.
Important Note: Kedar
is the son of Ishmael peace be upon him: "These are the names of the sons of
Ishmael, listed in the order of their birth: Nebaioth
the firstborn of Ishmael, Kedar,
Adbeel, Mibsam, (From the
NIV Bible, Genesis 25:13)"
The people of Kedar are the original Arabs. They are
today's Saudis and Yemenis, and these are 100% Muslims! There is not a single Saudi or Yemeni who
is Christian today! They are nothing but Muslims. So the "light of the
Gentiles" and "Kedar
Lives rejoice" are clear Prophecies and
Signs for the Divine and Truthful Religion of Islam. - http://www.answering-christianity.com/isaiah.htm
Notice how Osama
fails to present any statistics to prove this fantastic claim of his. However,
like any lie of Mr. Abdallah, this too can easily be exposed as false. You can go to these sites and find information on
Yemeni Christians and Arab Christians:
http://www.opendoors.org.au/pgs/prfl/ym.htm
http://www.strategicnetwork.org/index.php?loc=pe&pe=2069&
http://www.persecution.org/Countries/yemen.html
http://www.domini.org/openbook/sau20010719.htm
It is a well known fact that
all Arabs on the Arabic Peninsular aren’t Muslim. Hence Osama’s lie is nothing
more than an appeal to the emotion of the reader in trying to
authenticate his false argument.
LIE#5. SAYS THE BIBLE TALKS ABOUT
DEFLORATION OF A WOMAN BUT WAIT! HE CAN’T FIND IT FROM THE BIBLE BUT THE
TALMUD!
Males in the Bible did it to females:
Before we get into the fathers
and daughters issue, it is important first to know that some males in the Bible did it to females. Let us look at the
following information:
"There were, of course,
others who might examine accused brides. Dwyer, 63, notes the role of doctors
in modern Morocco.
In pre-modern times this role was performed by midwives (see Westermarck, Marriage Ceremonies in Morocco, 229f.; Marcus, p. 324. M.
Friedman, Ribbui Nashim Beyisra'el [Tel Aviv: Mosad Bialik etc., 1986], 169-170, 263). According to the Midrash Hagadol, Isaac himself
examined Rebekah digitally before their marriage (Midrash Hagadol to Genesis 24:67
[ed. M. Margulies; Jerusalem: Mosad Harav Kook, 1967, 411]; according to Pirke
Rabbi Eliezer, chap. 16, p. 38a, the examination
consisted of digital defloration [ref. courtesy of my colleague, Prof. Judah Goldin]). According to the aprocryphal
Book of James, sec. 19-20, Mary was likewise examined digitally for virginity
by Salome (New Testament Apocrypha, ed. E. Hennecke
& W. Schneemelcher, 385; ref. courtesy of Prof. Tikva Frymer-Kensky and my
colleague Prof. Robert A. Kraft)." () [Note #13, read toward the end of
the note]
To protect Mr. Jeffrey H. Tigay's article from vanishing one day on the internet as
many valuable articles did before, I have copied his entire article on my site
at: www.answering-christianity.com/accused_brides.htm .
Now let’s begin to analyze his evidence to see if both he and Mr. Tigay are truthful.
"There were, of
course, others who might examine accused brides. Dwyer, 63, notes the role of
doctors in modern Morocco.
In pre-modern times this role was performed by midwives (see Westermarck, Marriage Ceremonies in Morocco, 229f.; Marcus, p. 324. M.
Friedman, Ribbui Nashim Beyisra'el [Tel Aviv: Mosad Bialik etc., 1986], 169-170, 263).
This part of his quote talks about "accused brides". Accused of
what? Namely fornication before marriage. Now if Osama Abdallah is correct and
the bible sanctions deflowering then
1. Where is the bible verse here?
2. Why is it talking about modern times instead of biblical times?
3. How can virgins be accused brides if deflowering was for anyone?
4. If virgins weren’t accused then deflowering wouldn’t be necessary would it?
Basically from reading the quote carefully we only see that, at best,
“deflowering” could only be for accused brides not everyone. We must also note
that Morocco
is a Muslim country so why are Muslims adhering to this practice? Notice that
no bible verse as a basis can be used to justify this action.
According to the Midrash Hagadol, Isaac himself
examined Rebekah digitally before their marriage (Midrash Hagadol to Genesis 24:67
[ed. M. Margulies; Jerusalem:
Mosad Harav Kook, 1967,
411];
Notice what this quote says:
According to the Midrash
Hagadol
Osama Abdallah thinks that the Midrash Hagadol is the Bible! LOL!!! Here is what Genesis 24:67
says:
Isaac brought her into the tent of
his mother Sarah, and he married Rebekah. So she
became his wife, and he loved her; and Isaac was comforted after his mother's
death.
There is no way possible to garner the idea of defloration here. Such a
practice can only be justified by outside biblical information. Osama can’t use
the bible and claim that this practice is justified. Basically his entire
argument rests upon how others interpolated the bible to fit their own agenda.
Osama has a very bad habit of using hypocrisy. Notice his claims against the
Bible:
The Gospel of Mark:
"Although there is
no direct internal evidence of authorship, it was the unanimous testimony of
the early church that this Gospel was written by John Mark. (From the NIV Bible
Commentary, page 1488)"
&So, in reality, we
don't really know whether Mark was the sole author of this Gospel or not. And
since The New Testament wasn't even documented on paper until 150-300 years
(depending on what Christian you talk to) after Jesus, then how are we to know
for sure that the current "Gospel of Mark" wasn't written by some pro
of Mark? - http://www.answering-christianity.com/authors_gospels.htm
Here, he claims that we shouldn’t trust certain books in the Bible because
they were allegedly 150-300 years even though he appeals to the Midrash! Look at when the Midrash
was composed:
MIDRASH:
In Judaism, a large collection of writings that
examine the Hebrew Bible in the light of oral tradition. Midrashic
activity reached its height in the 2nd cent. AD with the schools of Ishmael
ben Elisha and Akiba ben Joseph. The Midrashim are divided into two groups: Halakhah,
which clarify legal issues; and Haggadah, nonlegal writings intended simply to enlighten. The Midrashim are extensively quoted in the Talmud. ( Source)
So, in one place Abdallah says its wrong to use material compiled 200 years
after it is written. But in another instance, this hypocrite says that it is
perfectly fine to use legends, composed in the 2nd century A.D., DEALING WITH
GENESIS WHICH PROCEEDED IT BY OVER 2000 YEARS! HOW FOOLISH CAN YOU GET!!!
according to Pirke Rabbi Eliezer, chap. 16, p.
38a, the examination consisted of digital defloration [ref. courtesy of my
colleague, Prof. Judah Goldin]).
But in his paper Osama says:
some males in the Bible did it to females.
But what does his quote say:
according to Pirke
Rabbi Eliezer
Osama Abdallah thinks that a Rabbi is the bible!! LOL!!! Need we say more?
LIE#6. USES FALSE EVIDENCE WHICH
SAYS MARY EXAMINES SALOME USING DEFLORATION AS EVIDENCE AGAINST THE BIBLE!
According to the aprocryphal Book of James, sec. 19-20, Mary was likewise
examined digitally for virginity by Salome (New Testament Apocrypha, ed. E. Hennecke & W. Schneemelcher,
385; ref. courtesy of Prof. Tikva Frymer-Kensky
and my colleague Prof. Robert A. Kraft)."
Osama's folly knows no bounds. He is even willing to quote
from the apocryphal to prove his point, even though his paper claims to be
based on information from the Bible!! It is obvious that neither Mr.Tigay nor Mr. Abdallah have actually read the apocrypha
book of James for it says nothing close to what they claim:
XIX. I
And behold a woman coming down from the hillcountry,
and she said to me: Man, whither goest thou ? And I
said: I seek a midwife of the Hebrews. And she answered and said unto me: Art
thou of Israel
? And I said unto her: Yea. And she said: And who is she that bringeth forth in the cave ? And I said: She that is
betrothed unto me. And she said to me: Is she not thy wife? And I said to her:
It is Mary that was nurtured up in the temple of the Lord: and I received
her to wife by lot: and she is not my wife, but she hath conception by the Holy
Ghost.
And the midwife said unto him: Is
this the truth? And Joseph said unto her: Come hither and see. And the midwife
went with him.
2 And they stood in the place of
the cave: and behold a bright cloud overshadowing the cave. And the
midwife said: My soul is magnified this day, because mine eyes have seen marvellous things: for salvation is born unto Israel. And
immediately the cloud withdrew itself out of the cave, and a great light
appeared in the cave so that our eyes could not endure it. And by little and
little that light withdrew itself until the young child appeared: and it went
and took the breast of its mother Mary.
And the midwife cried aloud and
said: Great unto me to-day is this day, in that ! have seen this new sight. 3
And the midwife went forth of the cave and Salome met her. And she said to
her: Salome, Salome, a new sight have I to tell thee. A virgin hath brought
forth, which her nature alloweth not. And Salome
said: As the Lord my God liveth, if I make not trial
and prove her nature I will not believe that a virgin hath brought forth.
XX. 1 And the midwife went in and
said unto Mary: Order thyself, for there is no small contention arisen
concerning thee. Arid Salome made trial and cried out and said: Woe unto
mine iniquity and mine unbelief, because I have tempted the living God, and lo,
my hand falleth away from me in fire. And she bowed
her knees unto the Lord, saying: O God of my fathers, remember that I am the
seed of Abraham and Isaac and Jacob: make me not a public example unto the
children of Israel, but restore me unto the poor, for thou knowest, Lord, that in thy name did I perform my cures, and
did receive my hire of thee. 3 And lo, an angel of the Lord appeared, saying
unto her: Salome, Salome, the Lord hath hearkened to thee: bring thine hand near unto the young child and take him up, and
there shall be unto thee salvation and joy. 4 And Salome came near and took
him up, saying: I will do him worship, for a great king is born unto Israel. And
behold immediately Salome was healed: and she went forth of the cave justified.
And Io, a voice saying: Salome, Salome, tell none of the marvels which thou
hast seen, until the child enter into Jerusalem.
http://wesley.nnu.edu/noncanon/gospels/gosjames.htm
As you can see, no such act of defloration took place here.
No such conclusion can be reached by reading the text itself. One can only
interpolate this idea back in to make it fit. The text shows that Salome wanted
to bring Mary to trial because of her own unbelief. What made Salome believe Mary wasn't defloration, but the healing power
of the child Jesus who healed her hand!! This is incredible and any attempt to
appeal to this book must be rejected as false in defense of defloration.
LIE#7. BELIEVES SONG OF SONGS
(BIBLE IN GENERAL) IS PORN BUT FINDS MUHAMMAD IN THIS SAME BIBLE!
Here is
some other prophecies about the coming of the holy prophet of God ,
Muhammad(SAW), and pilgrimage in Bible. - http://www.answering-christianity.com/isaiah_mecca.htm
Despite of all Mr. Abdallah’s propaganda, twisting
of bible verses and language concepts, Muhammad is never ever mentioned, by name,
as being prophesied as a prophet or an apostle whatsoever. Muslims have clearly
stated that "they want Christians to prove where Jesus claimed to be
God" when they can't even show you where "Muhammad was mentioned as a
prophet or a messenger of God". An example of Islamic tongue twisting is
shown in the word "Machamad" and we must
point out that Osama believes that the bible is corrupted. In this same
corrupted book (along with trying to claim that every word which looks similar
to Muhammad refers to him) he tries to find his prophet:
1.
MACHAMMADIM - From "MACHAMAD" which in this particular verse, the
words "altogether lovely" was translated from mahmad
(). is translated into "lovely". "Altogether" is added as a
contextual reference to "v'chulo" which means
"in entirety" or "absolutely". "MACHAMAD" means
"desirable, praiseworthy, beautiful, etc". Though it is archaic, it
is found elsewhere in the Bible to describe precious and coveted items. The
fact that this "MACHAMAD" evidently may well be the Prophet Muhammad
(may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) has already been thoroughly
outlined and established.
To add further weight to these argument, let us take a closer look at this four
character word. The way this word is written is Hebrew is . That happens to be
the EXACT same way Muhammad's name is written in Hebrew. (Song of Song's 5:16
prophesy Muhammad; Found on www.answering-christianity.com)
Contradicts
Again,
we don't know who wrote the book. Please visit X-Rated Pornography in the Bible
regarding this PORNFUL and SICK book. (Just who
were the real authors of the Bible? ; Found on www.answering-christianity.com)
It is totally self-contradicting to find Muhammad in a book of the bible and
then mention elsewhere that this VERY SAME BOOK is pornful
and sick and isn't from God!! Even the word "MACHAMMADIM", which
Osama mentions, is used to describe objects in Hebrew which implies that if you
are talking about something lovely, etc., you are referring to Muhammad!! The
only way you can conclude that this refers to Muhammad is to hope for extreme
wishful thinking and believe that everybody is blind and deaf enough to accept
this conclusion. Hence, we must also conclude that Muhammad, with the added
proof given by Osama Abdallah is found in a pornful,
sick man made book written by some porn-hungry guy! This means that
1. Muhammad is a porno prophet
2. Man made tampering prophesied Muhammad
3. Muhammad is a prophet prophesied in a porn book not written by God therefore
he isn't a prophet of God but of porn.
4. Islam is a religion that verifies porn.
This is how these Muslim apologists think my friend when it comes to
propagating Islam. One day the Bible prophesies Muhammad, the next day it isn't
from God or is pornful. Now the question that begs to
be answered is "If the Bible isn't from God and Muhammad is found in it
then how can Muhammad be a prophet of God"? Or "If you don't know if
the entire Bible isn't from God how do you know these verses with Muhammad are
from God"?
LIE#8. BELIEVES THE KAABA IS THE
HOUSE OF GOD MENTIONED IN ISAIAH 60!
"And
I Will glorify the house of my glory", and it refers to the Ka'ba in Mekka , the Sacred House
for God's glory." -http://www.answering-christianity.com/isaiah_mecca.htm
First of all we find nowhere in which the word “Kaaba” is mentioned in the bible so how can Osama
legitimately prove that this is the truth? He has to resort to propaganda and
read this back into the Bible. If you read his site closely, particularly in
his "trinity sections" you will recognize that he continuously issues
this challenge "show me where Jesus claimed to be God". If you can't
answer his challenge then it would mean that Jesus isn't God since we never
seen him say this in the Bible.
One must immediately recognize the hypocrisy of this stance
since Osama is trying to prove that the Kaaba is the
sacred house mentioned in the Bible. He claims that the Trinity is false
because it isn’t mentioned in the Bible. So, we must ask him this question,
"How can you prove that this refers to the Kaaba
which also isn't mentioned?" The same Bible that this propagandist uses
mentions this about the "TEMPLE
and the HOUSE OF GOD"
Then
David said, "THE HOUSE OF THE LORD GOD is to be here, and also the
altar of burnt offering for Israel."
So David gave orders to assemble the aliens LIVING IN ISRAEL, and
from among them he appointed stonecutters to prepare dressed stone for building
the house of God. 1 Chronicles 22:1-3
The duty of the Levites was to help
Aaron's descendants in the service of THE TEMPLE OF THE LORD : to be in
charge of the courtyards, the side rooms, the purification of all sacred things
and the performance of other duties AT THE HOUSE OF GOD. 1 Chronicles
23:28
All these men were under the
supervision of their fathers for the music of THE TEMPLE OF THE LORD
, with cymbals, lyres and harps, for the ministry at THE HOUSE OF GOD. Asaph, Jeduthun and Heman were under the supervision of the king. 1 Chronicles
25:6
"However, in the first year of
Cyrus king of Babylon,
King Cyrus issued a decree TO REBUILD THIS HOUSE OF GOD. He even removed
from the temple of Babylon the gold and silver articles of THE HOUSE
OF GOD, which Nebuchadnezzar had taken from THE TEMPLE IN JERUSALEM
and brought to the temple in Babylon.
"Then King Cyrus gave them to a man named Sheshbazzar,
whom he had appointed governor, and he told him, 'Take these articles and go
and deposit them IN THE TEMPLE IN JERUSALEM. AND REBUILD THE HOUSE OF GOD ON
ITS SITE.' Ezra 5:13-15
Also, the gold and silver
articles of THE HOUSE OF GOD, which Nebuchadnezzar took from the temple IN
JERUSALEM and brought to Babylon, are to be returned to their places IN THE
TEMPLE IN JERUSALEM; they are to be deposited IN THE HOUSE OF GOD. Now then, Tattenai, governor of
Trans-Euphrates, and Shethar-Bozenai and you, their
fellow officials of that province, stay away from there. Do not interfere
with the work ON THIS TEMPLE OF GOD. Let the governor of the Jews and the
Jewish elders rebuild THIS HOUSE OF GOD on its site. Moreover, I hereby
decree what you are to do for these elders of the Jews in the CONSTRUCTION OF
THIS HOUSE OF GOD: Ezra 6:5-8
One day I went to the house of Shemaiah son of Delaiah, the son
of Mehetabel, who was shut in at his home. He said, "Let
us meet in THE HOUSE OF GOD, INSIDE THE TEMPLE,
and let us close the temple doors, because men are coming to kill you-by
night they are coming to kill you." Nehemiah 6:10
One thing I ask of the Lord , this
is what I seek: that I may dwell in the THE HOUSE
OF THE LORD all the days of my life, to gaze upon the beauty of the Lord and to
SEEK HIM IN HIS TEMPLE.
27:4
Blessed are those you choose and
bring near to live in your courts! We are filled with the good things OF
YOUR HOUSE, OF YOUR HOLY
TEMPLE. Psalm 65:4
Therefore, what I did to Shiloh I
will now do to THE HOUSE that bears my Name, THE TEMPLE you trust in, the place I gave to you
and your fathers. Jeremiah 7:14
This is what the Lord Almighty
says: "You who now hear these words spoken by the prophets who were there when
the foundation was laid for THE HOUSE OF THE LORD ALMIGHTY, let your hands be
strong so that THE TEMPLE
MAY BE BUILT. Zec 8:9
It is totally incredulous to believe that Isaiah 60 is
talking about Muhammad and the Kaaba. We would be forced
to conclude that:
1. The Kaaba was originally the Temple
2. That it was located in Jerusalem not Mecca, which would make
this a false prophecy!
3. If the Kaaba was in Israel,
THEN IT CAN'T BE IN ARABIA?
Osama again exposes his ignorance of his pagan Quran and by using this same fallacious method we would be
forced to conclude that the Kaaba is not in Mecca but Jerusalem!!!
The following commentary on S. 17:1 AND THE CONCEPT OF WHAT THE SACRED HOUSE IN
THE QURAN IS comes from Tafsir Ibn Kathir-Abridged Volume 5, Surah Hud to Surat
Al-Isra', Verse 38, abridged by a group of
scholars under the supervision of Shaykh Safiur-Rahman Al-Mubarakpuri,
(Darussalam Publishers & Distributors; Riyadh, Houston, New York, Lahore,
July 2000):
means
THE SACRED HOUSE which is IN JERUSALEM,
the origin of the Prophets from the time of Ibraham Al-Khalil. The Prophets all
gathered there, and he (Muhammad) led them in prayer in their own homeland.
This indicates that he is the greatest leader of all, may the peace and blessings
of Allah be upon him and upon them. (Ibid., p. 551; bold emphasis ours)
Ibn Kathir includes the following hadith:
I
remember being in Al-Hijr, and the Quraysh were asking me about my Night Journey. They
asked me things about Bayt Al-Maqdis
that I was not sure of, and I felt more anxious and stressed then than I
have ever felt. Then Allah raised up Bayt Al-Maqdis for me to see, and there was nothing they asked me
about but I told them about it. And I remember being in a gathering of the
Prophets. Musa was standing there praying, and he was
a man with curly hair, as if he were one of the men of Shanu'ah.
I saw 'Isa ibn Maryam standing there praying, and the one who most
resembles him is 'Urwah bin Mas'ud
Ath-Thaqafi. And I saw Ibrahim
standing there praying, and for the one who most resembles him is your
companion (meaning himself). Then the time for prayer came, and I led them in
prayer. When I finished, a voice said, 'O Muhammad, this is Malik,
the keeper of Hell,' so I turned to him, and he greeted me first. (Ibid., p.
571; bold emphasis ours)
The Sacred house is the temple mount in Jerusalem which Osama's Palestinian people
are fighting over right now!! He doesn't even know his own Quran
and Islamic history. He has totally embarrassed Islam by misplacing the Kaaba, Islam's holy shrine, from Arabia to Israel!!
LIE#9. BELIEVES DEUTERONOMY 31 SAYS
THE BIBLE IS CORRUPTED!
See
Also Deuteronomy 31:25-29 where Moses peace be upon him predicted the
corruption/tampering of the Law (Bible) after his death.
The Book of Moses predicted that
the Law (Bible) will get corrupted. The Book of Jeremiah which came
approximately 826 years after did indeed confirm this corruption.
When we look at the content around this verse we will see
just how desperate Osama is. He lies by trying to make the “elders” who were to
become corrected, the actual text of the Bible!! Read:
So Moses
wrote down this song that day and taught it to the Israelites. The LORD gave
this command to Joshua son of Nun: "Be strong and courageous, for you will
bring the Israelites into the land I promised them on oath, and I myself will
be with you." AFTER MOSES FINISHED WRITING IN A BOOK THE WORDS OF THIS
LAW FROM BEGINNING TO END, he gave this command to the Levites who carried
the ark of the covenant of the LORD: "Take this Book of the Law and
place it beside the ark of the covenant of the LORD your God. THERE IT WILL
REMAIN AS A WITNESS AGAINST YOU. For I know how rebellious and stiff-necked
you are. If you have been rebellious against the LORD while I am still alive
and with you, how much more will you rebel after I die! Assemble before me
all the elders of your tribes and all your officials, so that I can speak
these words in their hearing and call heaven and earth to testify against them.
FOR I KNOW AFTER MY DEATH YOU ARE SURE TO BECOME UTTERLY CORRUPT and to
turn from the way I have commanded you. In days to come, disaster will fall
upon you because you will do evil in the sight of the LORD and provoke him
to anger by what your hands have made."
Moses had already written the Law down and he was to going
to use it as a witness against the evil elders!!! Notice again, in this
passage, that after Moses death, it is the elders, not the law who will become
corrupt. This is verified even more when we see how "disaster will befall
them since they did evil in the sight of the LORD". How can a book perform
actions as a human being? This is something that Osama also has yet to address.
He has intentionally lied by equating the elders to the actual text of the law,
when the passage says that the law would be a witness against the elders and
was already within the safety of the ark! Osama intentionally lied!! What a
shame, can't prove bible corruption so he must resort to bible
misinterpretation. Notice that this slander is found on most of his web
pages!!!
Hence, If Deuteronomy 31:25-29 proves bible corruption how
come we find verses after this book, which came later, showing the legitimacy
of the law? Read:
He teaches
your precepts to Jacob and YOUR LAW TO ISRAEL. He offers incense before you and whole burnt offerings on your altar.
Deut 33:10
Notice that in the next chapter after his claim of Bible
corruption we see God mentioning about teaching this very same law to Israel!!
No one
will be able to stand up against you all the days of your life. As I was with
Moses, so I will be with you; I will never leave you nor forsake you. "Be
strong and courageous, because you will lead these people to inherit the land I
swore to their forefathers to give them. Be strong and very courageous. Be
careful to obey all the law my servant Moses gave you; do not turn from it to
the right or to the left, that you may be successful wherever you go. DO NOT
LET THIS BOOK OF THE LAW DEPART FROM YOUR MOUTH; meditate on it day and night,
so that you may be careful to do EVERYTHING WRITTEN IN IT. Then you will be
prosperous and successful. (Joshua 1:5-8)
If the law was already corrupted in Deuteronomy why did
Yahweh almighty explicitly tell Joshua that he must also obey the law which was
written by him also? Simple, because the bible never was corrupted nor would it
ever be corrupted.
as Moses
the servant of the LORD had commanded the Israelites. He built it according
to WHAT IS WRITTEN IN THE BOOK of the Law of Moses--an altar of uncut
stones, on which no iron tool had been used. On it they offered to the LORD
burnt offerings and sacrificed fellowship offerings. There, in the presence
of the Israelites, JOSHUA COPIED ON STONES THE LAW OF MOSES, WHICH HE HAD
WRITTEN. All Israel,
aliens and citizens alike, with their elders, officials and judges, were
standing on both sides of the ark of the covenant of the LORD, facing those who
carried it--the priests, who were Levites. Half of the people stood in front of
Mount Gerizim and half of them in front of Mount Ebal,
as Moses the servant of the LORD had formerly commanded when he gave
instructions to bless the people of Israel. Afterward, Joshua read
all the words of the law--the blessings and the curses--JUST AS IT IS WRITTEN
IN THE BOOK OF THE LAW. There was not a word of all that Moses had commanded
that Joshua did not read to the whole assembly of Israel, including the
women and children, and the aliens who lived among them. (Joshua 8:31-35)
But be very careful to keep the
commandment and the law that Moses the servant of the LORD gave you: to love the LORD your God, to walk in all his ways, to obey
his commands, to hold fast to him and to serve him with all your heart and
all your soul." (Joshua 22:5)
God almighty is continuously telling his people to obey his
command in his law after Deuteronomy 31:25-29. We see that Osama's theory is
again a bogus lie propagated by his lackluster reading skills.
"Be
very strong; be careful to OBEY ALL THAT IS WRITTEN IN THE BOOK OF THE LAW
of Moses, without turning aside to the right or to the left. (Joshua 23:6)
And Joshua recorded these things
in the Book of the Law of God. Then he
took a large stone and set it up there under the oak near the holy place of the
LORD. "See!" he said to all the people. "This stone will be a
witness against us. It has heard all the words the LORD has said to us. It will
be a witness against you if you are untrue to your God." (Joshua
24:26-27)
The law was still uncorrupt long after the passage that
Osama claimed and we see that it was taught over 1000 years later in Judah:
With them
were certain Levites--Shemaiah, Nethaniah,
Zebadiah, Asahel, Shemiramoth, Jehonathan, Adonijah, Tobijah and Tob-Adonijah--and the priests Elishama
and Jehoram. They taught throughout Judah, TAKING WITH THEM THE BOOK OF THE LAW OF
THE LORD; they went around to all the towns of Judah and taught the people. (2
Chron. 17:8-9)
With this ample evidence being shown lets expose Osama's
misunderstanding clearer about his claim of Deut 31:25-29 showing corruption:
See
Also Deuteronomy 31:25-29 where Moses peace be upon him predicted the
corruption/tampering of the Law (Bible) after his death.
This verse particular is verse 29 which says:
For I know
that after my death you are sure to become utterly corrupt and to turn from the way I have commanded you. In days to
come, disaster will fall upon you because you will do evil in the sight of the
LORD and provoke him to anger by what your hands have made."
However Osama violates his own word on his other web pages
when he claims this about incomplete quoting:
This is
bogus and unacceptable in the professional world of dialogues.
We wonder why he doesn't follow his own bogus word? Read
verse 28 before verse 29:
ASSEMBLE
BEFORE ME ALL THE ELDERS of your tribes
and all your officials, so that I can speak these words IN THEIR HEARING
and call heaven and earth to TESTIFY AGAINST THEM.
NOW READ VERSE 29
For I know that after my death
YOU ARE SURE TO BECOME UTTERLY CORRUPT and
to turn from the way I have commanded you. In days to come, disaster will fall
upon you because you will do evil in the sight of the LORD and provoke him to
anger by what your hands have made."
Verse 28 says Moses is testifying against the elders and
then verse 29 says that they will become corrupt using the LAW as a witness
against their corruption from the previous verses!!! Let’s look at these verses
compared with Joshua 24:26-28, to bring this point home:
|
AFTER MOSES FINISHED WRITING
IN A BOOK THE WORDS OF THIS LAW FROM BEGINNING TO END, he gave this command to the Levites who carried the ark
of the covenant of the LORD: "Take this Book of the Law and place it
beside the ark of the covenant of the LORD your God. THERE IT WILL REMAIN AS
A WITNESS AGAINST YOU...ASSEMBLE BEFORE ME ALL THE ELDERS of your
tribes and all your officials, so that I can speak these words IN THEIR
HEARING and call heaven and earth to TESTIFY AGAINST THEM. For
I know that after my death YOU ARE SURE TO BECOME UTTERLY CORRUPT and to
turn from the way I have commanded you. (Deut. 31:24-26,28-29)
|
And Joshua recorded these
things in the Book of the Law of God. Then he took a LARGE STONE and set it up there under the oak near the holy place of
the LORD. "See!" he said to all the people. "THIS STONE
WILL BE A WITNESS AGAINST US. It has heard all the words the LORD has said to
us. IT WILL BE A WITNESS AGAINST YOU if you are untrue to your God."
(Joshua 24:26-27)
|
Both Joshua and Moses performed the same functions and used
the law as a witness against unbelievers. The Law isn't corrupted nor did the
Bible ever say that it would be corrupted. By not having hooked on phonics,
Osama has presented nothing but a phony argument in his desperate attempts to
prove Bible corruption.
LIE#10. BELIEVES THE NIV BIBLE
PROVES BIBLE CORRUPTION!
Osama Abdallah loves promoting this link:
(Just who
were the real authors of the Bible? ; Found on
www.answering-christianity.com)
He tries to use a mere English translation of the bible to
validate his insane theories of bible corruption. Mr. Abdallah is highly educated
and does have a degree in Computer engineering but one would never know this
from the substance of his arguments or the quotation of scholarly material he
uses.
My grandmother can read better than Mr. Abdallah and she
passed away almost 5 years ago! The point of me saying this is simply the fact
that Osama purposely quotes the NIV out of context to misrepresent this source.
His theory that “authorship means authenticity” is easily recognized as flawed
by any intelligent reader. For example:
A book could be false, EVEN IF THE AUTHOR IS NAMED.
Apparently despite all of his tricks and tactics, Mr.
Abdallah has yet to figure this great mystery out. Many Christians aren’t
concerned about who wrote particular books of the Bible. This is actually a red
herring since to us; it is God who is the author of the bible. Mr. Abdallah
tries to create this great controversy because he is hoping that Muslims will
accept anything he claims at face value. Osama also fails to subject the Quran to this same test because he knows that it would also
fail his criteria also. He may claim that “Allah inspired the Quran”, which is something no Christian or Muslim disputes
but the simple problem facing him is “WHO ACTUALLY WROTE THE SURAH’S OF THE
QURAN”? Since no particular chapter has any author given then we must conclude
that the Quran is also corrupted according to Mr. Abdallah’s warped conspiracy theories.
Osama’s logic can be easily summed up here:
Because the NIV says something on the bible it therefore
must be true.
The problem with this stance also is that Osama Abdallah
doesn’t except this from the NIV bible:
As far as Zondervan
is concerned as the publisher of the NIV, and International Bible Society
as the copyright owner of the NIV, nothing could be further from the truth. For
188 years IBS, and for 66 years Zondervan, have
faithfully communicated the richness of GOD'S REVELATION. (NIV ONLINE
LETTER PREFACE TO NIV BIBLE)
According to the NIV translators, it is the Bible, NOT THE
QURAN, which is the revelation of God to mankind. Does Osama Abdallah accept
this? No. Basically he takes quotes and assumes that anything “which agrees
with what he thinks” must be true and IS TRUE. According to logic this is
nothing more than SOMEONE’S OPINION. In his debate with Sam Shamoun
recently, Osama Abdallah even admitted that his stance was full of embarrassing
contradictions. Hence, he believes the bible to be corrupted but yet uses this
same bible to find Muhammad in it. Not only is this absolutely absurd, even to
intelligent non-Christians, but the sheer stupidity of such a stance would
easily lead to the conclusion that “Muhammad must be a corrupt prophet
prophesied by a corrupt book”!
Not only does the NIV claim that the Bible is uncorrupted,
(even if they did, they aren’t mainstream Christianity!) they even go as far as
to say this:
The NIV is based on the most
reliable Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek texts. A translation team of more than 100
evangelical Bible scholars from many different denominations, using four levels
of committee review, worked for 13 years before the complete Bible was released
in 1978. These scholars came from the United
States, Canada,
Great Britain, Australia, and New Zealand.
OPERATING FROM THE CONVICTION THAT THE BIBLE IS
THE INSPIRED AND WHOLLY RELIABLE WORD OF GOD, the translators wanted to
faithfully reproduce what the original Scripture writers wrote, in language
that people could read and understand without difficulty. They were - and
are - committed to the AUTHORITY AND INFALLIBILITY OF THE BIBLE. The NIV
has become the bestselling translation of the Bible, with more than 100 million
copies in print. (NIV ONLINE LETTER)
Wholly reliable word of God! You see this? Yes. Corrupted?
No. If the NIV ever heard that Osama Abdallah was propagating this theory,
based on their commentary, they would immediately reject this and probably
attempt to sue him for slander of their material.
You will see below how he quoted the NIV and the full
quotes, if applicable, as well as our comments.

"Serious doubts exists as to whether these verses belong to the
Gospel of Mark. They are absent from important early manuscripts and
display certain peculiarities of vocabulary, style and theological content
that are unlike the rest of Mark. His Gospel probably ended at 16:8, or its original ending
has been lost.
(From the NIV Bible Foot Notes, page 1528)"
|
Some
of the most ancient authorities bring the book to a close at the end of verse
8. ONE AUTHORITY CONCLUDES THE BOOK WITH THE SHORTER ENDING; OTHERS
INCLUDE THE SHORTER ENDING AND THEN CONTINUE WITH VERSES 9-20. IN MOST
AUTHORITIES VERSES 9-20 FOLLOW IMMEDIATELY AFTER VERSE 8, though in some
of these authorities the passage is marked as being doubtful. (Word Study
Greek-English New Testament, Tyndale, Wheaton,
Illinois, Paul R. McReynolds, 1999 ISBN 0-8423-8290-9)
|
History has shown that Mark has both a short
as well as an unabridged ending. Most authorities have Mark 16:9-20. It is
only "SOME" who mark it as doubtful. Most means more than Some.
That is what the NIV said that the ending:
PROBABLY
ENDED at 16:8
They were aware that most MSS have this
verse and it would be incorrect to claim that this verse was a later
insertion! Osama's whole evidence was based on probable evidence. If he
wanted to prove that Mark 16:9-20 was clearly a later addition, surely he
could've furnished a NIV quote that explicitly says "THIS GOSPEL
DEFINITELY ENDED AT VERSE 8 AND THE REST IS A LATER INSERTION".

|
"Although
the author does not name himself, evidence outside the Scriptures and
inferences from the book itself lead to the conclusion that the author was
Luke. (From the NIV Bible Commentary, page 1643)"
|
Although
the author does not name himself, evidence outside the Scriptures and
inferences from the book itself lead to the conclusion that the author was
Luke. The earliest of the external testimonies appears in the Muratorian Canon (C. A.D. 170), where the explicit
statement is made THAT LUKE WAS THE AUTHOR OF BOTH THE THIRD GOSPEL AND THE
"ACTS OF ALL THE APOSTLES"... Within the writing itself are some
clues as to who the author was: 1. LUKE THE COMPANION OF PAUL...LUKE THE
PHYSICIAN. "(NIV Study Bible Commentary, pg. 1643)
|
According to the NIV,
evidence outside the bible itself verifies that Luke is the author.
Apparently the NIV doesn’t think it necessary for the author to name himself
for every book.
|
|
"The writer of this letter does not identify
himself, but he was obviously well known to the original
recipients. (From the NIV Bible Commentary, page 1856)"
|
Nobody
really knows who wrote the letter to the Hebrews. But whoever did write the
letter certainly understood the plight of those to whom it was written-for
he was obviously well known to the original recipients.
Although seperated from them at the time of writing, this writer
knew them and looked forward to the day when they would be brought together
again. Yet nowhere in the letter did he bother to give his name. WE WISH
HE HAD! That would have saved thousands of hours for scholars and teachers
and preachers who have for years attempted to solve this mystery.
Some thing are
worth intense study, and other things, although they may be interesting and
thought-provoking, are not worth the time. AN IN-DEPTH INVESTIGATION OF
THE AUTHORSHIP OF HEBREWS IS ONE OF THE THINGS NOT WORTH MORE OF OUR TIME.
The most important thing to remember is that THIS BOOK HAS BEEN INSPIRED BY
THE HOLY SPIRIT AND PRESERVED AS PART OF THE HOLY SCRIPTURES. NO MATTER WHO
PENNED THE WORDS, GOD HAS GIVEN US THIS MESSAGE AND PROTECTED IT THROUGH THE
CENTURIES. (NIV Insights Bible, Commentary on Hebrews pg. 1330)
|
According to the NIV, the
authorship of Hebrews has no bearing on the authenticity of its message. It
isn’t even worth the time or effort of the NIV society to look for the
authorship.
|
|
"The letter is difficult to date with precision....(From the NIV Bible
Commentary, page 1905)"
|
"....Unlike most NT
letters, 1 John does not tell us who its author is. The earliest
identification of him comes from the church fathers...(From the NIV Bible
Commentary, page 1904)"
|
Authorship ID comes from
the 1st century church fathers. So much for anonymity
|
|
"It
seems safe to conclude that the book, at least in its early form, dates from
the beginning of the monarchy. Some think that Samuel may have had a hand in
shaping or compiling the materials of the book, but in fact we are unsure who the final author or
editor was. (From the NIV Bible Commentary, page 286)"
|
In
the judgment of many scholars Joshua was not written until the end of the
period of the kings, some 800 years after the actual events. But there are significant
reasons to question this conclusion and to place the time of composition much
earlier. THE EARLIEST JEWISH TRADITIONS (TALMUD) CLAIM THAT JOSHUA WROTE
HIS OWN BOOK EXCEPT FOR THE FINAL SECTION ABOUT HIS FUNERAL, which is
attributed to Eleazer son of Aaron...Morever, the author's observation are accurate and
precise. He is thoroughly at ease with the antiquated names of cities,
such as "the Jebusite city" for Jerusalem, Kiriath Arba for Hebron, and
Greater Sidon for what later became simply Sidon.
(NIV Study Bible, Commentary on Joshua, pg. 286)
|
Shouldn’t the Jews know
more about their scriptures than Osama Abdallah or the NIV? Yes. Osama even
uses the Talmud against the bible in certain arguments on his site.
|
|
"Although, according to tradition,
Samuel wrote the book, authorship is actually uncertain. (From the NIV Bible
Commentary, page 322)" "The date of the composition is also
unknown, but it was undoubtedly during the monarchy. (From the NIV Bible
Commentary, page 322)"
|
Although,
according to tradition, Samuel wrote the book, authorship is actually
uncertain. It is possible that Samuel assembled some of the accounts FROM
THE PERIOD OF THE JUDGES and that such prophets as Nathan and Gad, both of
whom were associated with David's court, had a hand in shaping and editing
the material. (NIV Study Bible, Commentary on Judges, pg. 322)
|
The NIV rejects FULL
authorship of Samuel by Samuel because they believed that he only assembled
SOME OF THE ACCOUNTS. They didn’t say that the book was corrupted or verified
Islam!
|
|
"The author is
unknown. Jewish tradition points to Samuel, but it is
unlikely that he is the author because the mention of David (4:17,22) implies a later
date. (From the NIV Bible Commentary, page 360)"
|
The
book of Ruth is a Hebrew short story, told with CONSUMMATE SKILL. Among
HISTORICAL NARRATIVES IN SCRIPTURE it is unexcelled in its compactness,
vividness, warmth, beauty and dramatic effectiveness--- AN EXQUISITELY
WROUGHT JEWEL OF HEBREW NARRATIVE ART (NIV Study Bible, Commentary on
Ruth, pg. 361)
|
According to the NIV Study
Bible, the supposed corrupted book of Ruth is a literary jewel as well as a
historical narrative in scripture!!
|
|
"Who the author was
cannot be known with certainty
since the book itself gives no indication of his identity. (From the NIV Bible Commentary, page 368)"
|
|
So basically the author is
unknown but NIV says nothing on if the material is wrong or corrupted.
|
|
"There is little conclusive evidence
as to the identity of the author of 1,2 Kings. (From
the NIV Bible Commentary, page 459)" "Whoever the author was, it is clear
that he was familiar with the book of Deuteronomy. (From the NIV Bible
Commentary, page 459)"
|
|
So we don’t know the author
according to the NIV but author was familiar with book of Deuteronomy. Says
nothing about book being corrupted.
|
|
"According to ancient Jewish
tradition, Ezra wrote Chronicles, Ezra and Nehemiah (see Introduction to
Ezra: Literary Form and Authorship), but this cannot be established with
certainty. (From the NIV Bible Commentary, page 569)"
|
GOD
KNEW HE WAS NOT WHIPPING UP A BEST SELLER WHEN HE INSPIRED THE BOOKS OF
CHRONICLES-- but he never intended
to...EZRA WROTE FROM A SPECIFIC PERSPECTIVE AND VANTAGE POINT. He was
looking back on the history of his people after their spiritual erosion, fall
and captivity. When you write something from hindsight, you have a lot of
insight, and that is what EZRA BROUGHT TO THE RECORD CONTAINED IN
CHRONICLES (NIV Living Insights Bible, Commentary on Chronicles, pg. 402)
And
it must be acknowledge that the author, if not Ezra himself, AT LEAST
SHARED MANY BASIC CONCERNS WITH THAT REFORMING PRIEST. (NIV Study Bible,
Commentary on Chronicles, pg. 571)
|
The NIV Study Bible argues that Ezra came
from the time of Ezra, and if he didn’t write it then a close eyewitness
wrote it.
|
|
"Although we do not
know who wrote the book of Esther, from internal evidence it is possible to make some inferences about
the author and the date of composition. (From
the NIV Bible Commentary, page 707)"
|
The
earliest reference to the land of Judah or to Jerusalem
suggest that he was a resident of a Persian city. The earliest date for
the book would be shortly after the events narrated, i.e., c. 460 B.C.,.
INTERNAL EVIDENCE also suggest that the festival of Purim had been observed
for some time prior to the writing of the book. (NIV Study Bible,
Commentary on Esther, pg. 709)
|
In Persian history, a scribe,
not Esther the Queen, would have written down this account. General Middle
Eastern knowledge.
|
|
"The unknown author
probably had access to oral and/or written sources....(From the NIV Bible
commentary, page 722)"
|
The
unknown author probably had access to oral and/or written sources from which,
UNDER DIVINE INSPIRATION, he composed the book that we now have. Of
course the subject matter of the prologue HAD TO BE DIVINELY REVEALED TO
HIM, SINCE IT CONTAINED INFORMATION ONLY GOD COULD KNOW. (NIV Study
Bible, Commentary on Job, pg. 722)
|
Osama forgot to say that
the unknown author was under DIVINE inspiration. Blows his whole argument out
of the water!
|
|
"Regarding authorship,
opinions are even more divided....(From the NIV Bible Commentary, page 773)"
|
|
So Osama bases bible
corruptions on opinions, even though he claims on his site that he only uses
facts!
|
As you can clearly see, the NIV says just the opposite of
what Osama Abdallah actually claims. It is simply amazing that any
self-respecting apologist would embarrass himself or his credibility just to
defend his religion on misquotes lies and outright propaganda. On our
discussion board, one of Osama’s fellow Muslims told him not to insult the
Bible (though not the best in language it does get the point across):

As you can see, Mr. Abdallah diatribes and lies have even concerned his
fellow Muslims. In his haste to deface the Bible, Osama, as pointed out by his
own fellow Muslim, insults Islam and Muhammad!
LIE#11. BELIEVES THE BIRTH OF A
FEMALE IS A LOSS!
OSAMA:
Birth of any female is a loss: Ecclesiasticus 22:3 "....and the birth of ANY daughter is a loss" (From the New Jerusalem Bible. It's a Roman Catholics
Bible).
RESPONSE:
Even though the Apocrypha doesn’t concern us, since God did
not inspire these books, we will still offer a response. The first thing to note
is the way different translations render the Greek:
"... thugater de ep’ elattosei ginetai."
Note the following translations:
... And a foolish daughter
shall be to his loss. Douay
Old Testament
... spoilt daughter to thy great
loss; Knox Translation
... and a [foolish] daughter is
born to his loss.
... if it be a daughter, she brings
him to poverty. New American Bible
... and the birth of a daughter is
a loss. NRSV
We now quote the context:
"It is a disgrace to be the
father of an undisciplined son, and the birth of a daughter is a loss. A
sensible daughter obtains her husband, but one who acts shamefully brings
grief to her father. An impudent daughter disgraces father and husband, and
will be despised by both. Like music in mourning is a tale told at the
wrong time, but chastising and discipline are wisdom at all times." Ecclesiasticus 22:3-6 RSV
The context shows that the author is referring to children,
whether sons or daughters, who bring shame to their family. As such, the
author’s intention is not to generalize all women as evil, since he refers to
daughters that are sensible, but only to those women who through their shameful
ways bring disgrace to their parents and husbands.
Another plausible meaning of the first sentence is that
daughters are a loss to their parents in that they end up leaving their parents
when they get married in order to live with their spouses and build families
for them.
In either case, Osama’s use of this particular passage is simply
misplaced since it does not support him in the least.
OSAMA:
If a woman gives birth to a baby
boy, then she becomes unclean for 7 days. But if she gives birth to a baby
girl, then she becomes unclean for 14 days. So in other words, the birth of any
female causes double the pollution: Leviticus
12:2-5 "Speak
unto the children of Israel,
saying, If a woman have conceived seed, and born a MALE child: then she shall
be unclean SEVEN DAYS; according to the days of the separation for her
infirmity shall she be unclean. And in the eighth day the flesh of his foreskin
shall be circumcised. And she shall then continue in the blood of her purifying
THIRTY THREE days; she shall touch no hallowed thing, nor come into the
sanctuary, until the days of her purifying be fulfilled. But if she bear a
FEMALE child, then she shall be unclean TWO WEEKS, as in her separation: and
she shall continue in the blood of her purifying SIXTY SIX days."
I think it's safe to say that Ecclesiasticus 22:3 and Leviticus 12:2-5 are sister
verses.
RESPONSE:
Muslims complain that the ritual purification of a woman
who conceives a baby girl is twice as long as that of a baby boy. Admittedly,
this is a difficult passage. Yet, the text itself provides one of the reasons
why a mother would be declared unclean only for seven days in the case of male
children:
"Say to the Israelites: ‘A
woman who becomes pregnant and gives birth to a son will be ceremonially
unclean for seven days, just as she is unclean during her monthly period. On
the EIGHTH DAY the boy is to be circumcised.’" Leviticus 12:2-3
The length of uncleanness is interrupted by the command to
circumcise the male boy on the eighth day. Being ceremonially unclean on the
eighth day may have prohibited the mother from witnessing her own son’s
circumcision.
The Zondervan
NIV Bible Commentary provides another (possible) reason for the command in
counterbalancing cultural influences:
"In many countries girls
are less desired than boys. Thoughtless husbands might have taken better care of
baby boys and their mothers; so a longer time at home might have been positive
help for a mother with a baby girl. No difference is made in the temple
ritual between the birth of a boy or a girl. The only difference is in the
periods of uncleanness and seclusion." (Kenneth L. Barker & John R. Kohlenberger III, ed. Zondervan
NIV Bible Commentary - Volume 1: Old Testament [Zondervan
Publishing House; Grand Rapids, MI 1994], p. 139)
Furthermore, the context clearly shows that no implication
of female inferiority can be inferred from the prolonged period of uncleanness:
"When the days of her
purification for a son OR DAUGHTER are over, she is to bring to the
priest at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting a year-old lamb for a burnt
offering and a young pigeon or a dove for a sin offering. He shall offer them
before the LORD to make atonement for her, and then she will be ceremonially
clean from her flow of blood. These are the regulations for the woman who
gives birth to a boy OR A GIRL. If she cannot afford a lamb, she is to
bring two doves or two young pigeons, one for a burnt offering and the other
for a sin offering. In this way the priest will make atonement for her, and she
will be clean." Leviticus 12:6-8
Please observe that the sacrifices for male and female
infants are identical, supporting the point that both the male and female
infants, as well as all males and females in general, have equal value in the
eyes of God. In fact, if one reads Leviticus in the overall context of the
Pentateuch, this conclusion becomes inescapable:
"Then God said, ‘Let us make
man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea
and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth, and over all
the creatures that move along the ground.’ So God created man in his own image,
in the image of God he created him; male and FEMALE he created THEM."
Genesis 1:26-27
"When God created man, he made
him in the likeness of God. He created them male AND FEMALE AND BLESSED THEM.
And when THEY were created, he called THEM ‘man.’" Genesis 5:1-2
The female is just as much an image-bearer of God as the
male. The New Testament reflects this very same point:
"In the Lord, however, woman
is not independent of man, nor is man independent of woman. For as woman
came from man, so also man is born of woman. But everything comes from
God." 1 Corinthians 11:11-12
"There is neither Jew nor
Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one IN CHRIST JESUS."
Galatians 3:28
Finally, the ceremonial laws regarding male and female
infants are less difficult to accept than the following purification rite that
Muhammad enjoined on Muslims:
"Ali narrated that the
Messenger of Allah said: 'The urine of a baby boy should have water sprinkled
upon it. The urine of a baby girl is to be washed off.' Says Qatadah, 'This refers to a male baby that has not yet begun
to eat. If he already eats, then the garment is to be washed.'
"This hadith
is related by Ahmad, Abu Dawud, at-Tirmidhi and Ibn Majah. In al-Fath, Ibn Hajar says its
chain is sahih.
"Sprinkling is sufficient as
long as the boy is still nursing. If he eats solid food, his urine must be
washed from the clothes and body. There is no disagreement on this latter
point. Perhaps the reason for this exemption to the male baby's urine is
that people have a tendency to carry their male babies around, and it would
have been difficult to clean the clothes after their frequent urinations."
(Fiqh us-Sunnah
Volume 1 Purification and Prayer [American Trust Publications, Indianapolis
Indiana 1991], pp. 9-10)
The explanation above doesn't work since infant girls are
also carried around. So why the difference? Perhaps Osama can answer. –(

LIE#12. BELIEVES THAT DAVID BOWING
TO SAMUEL IS THE SAME AS PEOPLE BOWING TO JESUS.
1 Samuel 24
7 With these words David rebuked his men and did not allow them to
attack Saul. And Saul left the cave and went his way.
8 Then David went out of the cave and called out to Saul, "My lord
the king!" When Saul looked behind him, David bowed down and
prostrated himself with his face to the ground.
9 He said to Saul, "Why do you listen when men say, 'David is bent on
harming you'? http://www.answering-christianity.com/worship_jesus.htm
Mr. Abdallah runs upon a problem
here; first let’s show you the verse where Jesus says to bow to him like you bow
to God:
"The
Father judges no one, but has given all judgment to the Son, that all may
honor the Son, EVEN AS they honor the Father. He who does not honor the Son
does not honor the Father who sent him." John 5:22-23
honor
the Son, EVEN AS they honor the Father.
You honor God by
praying to him and worshipping him as the creator. So when Jesus mentioned what
he said above it explicitly means to do the same with him as you would with
God. Now is Mr. Abdallah going to tell us that this isn't the case AND
THAT HE DOESN'T HONOR
GOD BY NOT PRAYING TO HIM AS THE CREATOR? CHECKMATE!
Using his logic, this
makes Saul our Creator too since Mr. Abdallah equated people prostrating to
him, as people would prostrate to Jesus, who in turn mentioned that “he must be
HONORED JUST LIKE THE FATHER”. David bowing to
Saul isn’t the same as HONORING JESUS AS YOU WOULD HONOR GOD. Unless you've assume that Saul was God right Mr.
Abdallah? We call this an equivocation fallacy.
LIE#13. BELIEVES THE BIBLE SANCTIONS
PEDOPHILIA BUT QUOTES THE TALMED!
1-
Young girls in the Bible and Talmud, as young as 3, being married off:
Numbers
31:17-18 "Now
kill all the boys [innocent kids]. And kill every woman who has slept with a
man, but save for yourselves every girl
who has never slept with a man."
In the Torah (In the Book of Numbers in the
Bible), after the conquest of Midian and Moab, and
the great venereal plague, Moses (peace be on him) ordered that all the women
"who have known a man" be killed but that "all the young girls,
who have not known a man by lying with him" be kept alive for the
Israelites.
Since the only females left fit for marriage and
wholesome relations were prepubescent virgins, a Jewish law concerning child
marriage was enacted. That law is found in the Babylonian Talmud:
"Rabbi Joseph said, 'Come and hear. A
maiden aged 3 years and a day may be acquired in marriage by coition.'
Mishnah: A girl of the age of 3 years and a day may be betrothed, subject
to her father's approval, by sexual intercourse.
Gemara: Our Rabbis taught: 'A girl of the age of 3 years may be
betrothed by sexual intercourse.' "
NOTICE THIS KNUCKLE
HEAD CLAIMS THAT HIS EVIDENCE COMES FROM THE BIBLE BUT LOOK WHAT HIS QUOTE
SAYS:
Gemara: Our Rabbis taught:
'A girl of the age of 3 years may be betrothed by sexual intercourse.' "
Notice that his whole
evidence is based on WHAT SOME RABBIS TAUGHT AND NOT ANY HISTORICAL CLAIM FROM
THE BIBLE. But yet he calls others “liars’.
THE TALMUD ISN’T THE BIBLE. THE TALMUD IS NOTHING MORE THAN
THE COMMENTARY OF JEWISH SAGES. NOTHING MORE.
Even Jesus Christ
rejected such traditions:
Jesus replied, "And why do you break the command of God FOR
THE SAKE OF YOUR TRADITION? Matt. 15:3
You have let go of the commands
of God and are holding on to the
traditions of men." And he said to them: "You have a fine way of
setting aside the commands of God in
order to observe your own traditions! Mark 7:8-9
The Talmud isn’t the
command of God, IT IS THE TRADITONS OF UNINSPIRED MEN. It’s very funny for Mr.
Abdallah to try and slander Christianity based on traditions NOT EVEN
SANCTIONED BY GOD.
I CHALLENGE THE LIAR ABDALLAH TO SHOW US
ONE BIBLE VERSE WHICH SAYS A GIRL MUST BE THREE YEARS OLD FOR INTERCOURSE
LIE#14. BELIEVES THE GOSPEL OF JOHN
IS CORRUPTED EVEN THOUGH HE DIDN’T READ HIS OWN SOURCE!
The gospel of John is
very important to the deity of Christ. Osama attacked this gospel in particular
to fool his audience into thinking that it is unreliable:
The Gospel of John:
"The author is the
apostle John, 'the disciple whom Jesus loved' (13:23; 19:26; 20:2; 21:7,
20,24). He was prominent in the early church but is not mentioned by name in
this Gospel--which would be natural if he wrote it, but hard to explain otherwise.
(From the NIV Bible Commentary, page 1588)"
They claimed that it
was John who wrote the Gospel, but yet, his name was not signed on his Gospel!
How is it possible for us to be absolutely sure that it was indeed John who
wrote the so called "Gospel of John" when "his name is not mentioned in this Gospel" so we can then take it as a 100% True Error-free Word of
GOD Almighty?
Osama seeks to undermine the NIV’s claim that the
Apostle John wrote the fourth Gospel solely because John didn’t sign it! Do
note what the NIV says regarding the omission of John’s name:
He was prominent in the early
church but is not mentioned by name but hard to explain otherwise
The NIV says that IT IS NATURAL FOR JOHN TO NOT MENTION HIS NAME IF HE DID
WRITE THE GOSPEL!! Again, note what the NIV says:
THIS GOSPEL WAS WRITTEN BY THE
APOSTLE JOHN-one of the closest friends of Jesus during His life on earth.
(NIV Living Insights bible, commentary on John, pg. 1113)
Osama also overlooked the very first sentence in his own quote which
explicitly says:
The
author is the apostle John
The evidence is as explicit as one can find verifying the authorship of the
apostle John!! Osama's evidence of bible corruption is nothing more than the usual
misquotation and intentional misrepresentation found among common Islamic
propaganda against the bible. Both the NIV Study and Living Insights Bible
mention the apostle John as the author of the beloved fourth gospel. We find it
very unusual for Osama Abdallah to try and disprove the authenticity of the
Bible for the sake of bringing people to Islam. The Quran
and the Muslim traditions clearly affirm the purity and preservation of the
Holy Bible.
Finally, note what the first Muslim biographer said regarding the authorship
of the fourth Gospel:
"Among the things which have
reached me about what Jesus the Son of Mary stated in the Gospel which he
received from God for the followers of the Gospel, in applying a term to
describe the apostle of God, is the following. It is extracted FROM WHAT
JOHN THE APOSTLE SET DOWN FOR THEM WHEN HE WROTE THE GOSPEL FOR THEM FROM THE
TESTAMENT OF JESUS SON OF MARY: 'He that hateth
me hateth the Lord. And if I had not done in their
presence works which none other before me did, they had not sin: but from now
they are puffed up with pride and think that they will overcome me and also the
Lord. But the word that is in the law must be fulfilled, 'They hated me without
a cause' (i.e. without reason). But when the Comforter has come whom God will
send to you from the Lord's presence, and the spirit of truth which will have
gone forth from the Lord's presence he (shall bear) witness of me and ye also,
because ye have been with me from the beginning. I have spoken unto you about this
that ye should not be in doubt.
"The Munahhemana
(God bless and preserve him!) in Syriac is Muhammad;
in Greek he is the paraclete." (Ibn Ishaq, Life Of Muhammad,
trans. Alfred Guillaume [Oxford University Press, Karachi], pp. 103-104; bold
and capital emphasis ours)
The preceding Gospel citation is taken from John 15:23-16:1. Please notice
that Ishaq doesn’t say that this particular Gospel is
inauthentic or corrupt. Apparently, the first Muslims weren’t as sharp as Osama
since they had no problem admitting that John authored the fourth Gospel, even
though he never signed his name!
LIE#15. BELIEVES THAT ISLAM CLAIM OF
360 JOINTS WAS TRUE. HOW HILARIOUS!
Islam's claim about
the 360 joints in the human body was proven to be true!
"Aisha
reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: Every one of the
children of Adam has been created with three hundred and sixty joints;
so he who declares the Glory of Allah, praises Allah, declares Allah to be One,
Glorifies Allah, and seeks forgiveness from Allah, and removes stone, or thorn,
or bone from people's path, and enjoins what is good and forbids from evil, to
the number of those three hundred and sixty-four, will walk that day having
removed himself from Hell. (Translation
of Sahih Muslim, The Book of Zakat
(Kitab Al-Zakat), Book 005,
Number 2199)"
Narrated Buraydah
ibn al-Hasib: "I heard the Apostle of Allah peace_be_upon_him)
say: A human being has three hundred and sixty joints for each of which he
must give alms. The people asked him: Who is capable of doing this? He
replied: It may be mucus in the mosque which you bury, and something which you
remove from the road; but if you do not find such, two rak'ahs
in the forenoon will be sufficient for you. (Translation of Sunan Abu-Dawud, General Behavior (Kitab
Al-Adab), Book 41, Number 5222)"
Beside from the beautiful teachings
about Worshiping the One True Living GOD Almighty and removing obstacles from
the paths of people, Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him made a very important
scientific claim, and that is: Our human bodies have 360 joints in them.
Prior to 1995 it was thought that
there are 340 joints in the human body. In 1995 a scientific institute proved
that the internal ear consists of 10 joints each. Thus 20 joints were added and
the discovery was made that the human body consists of 360 joints. Please refer
to any medical encyclopedia on this. - http://www.answering-christianity.com/360_joints.htm
Now let’s quote you some highlights from this article
refuting such nonsense:
There is another small "number problem" in the
first of the hadiths quoted by Abdallah:
"Aisha
reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: Every one of the
children of Adam has been created with three hundred and SIXTY joints;
so he who declares the Glory of Allah, praises Allah, declares Allah to be One,
Glorifies Allah, and seeks forgiveness from Allah, and removes stone, or thorn,
or bone from people's path, and enjoins what is good and forbids from evil, to
the number of those three hundred and SIXTY-FOUR, will walk that day having
removed himself from Hell. (Translation
of Sahih Muslim, The Book of Zakat
(Kitab Al-Zakat), Book 005,
Number 2199)"
Obviously, 360 is not equal to 364, so there is a
contradiction even within this one hadith. When
looking up this hadith in the Arabic original, we
find that it says 360 both times, i.e. this is not a contradiction but merely a
translation error. The only reason to mention this observation here is that it
constitutes further evidence of Abdallah's shoddy
research. He merely copied the quotation from either the notoriously unreliable
online hadith database or some other source (see
below) and neither checked his foundational text for logical consistency nor
did he bother to compare it against the Arabic original before issuing claims
about its miraculous nature. [Below we will discover that the translation of
this hadith also contains another quite serious error
that has major implications for Abdallah's claim.]
Before we conclude this section, let's take another look at
Osama Abdallah's first paragraph following his
quotations of the two narrations of Muhammad:
Beside from the beautiful teachings
about Worshiping the One True Living GOD Almighty and removing obstacles from
the paths of people, Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him made a very important
scientific claim, and that is: Our human bodies have 360 joints in them.
This statement is a perfect example of Abdallah's
"fluff and bluff" rhetoric. Even if Muhammad's claim that the human
body has 360 joints had been true, what exactly is so "very
important" about it? Does O. Abdallah know of even one Muslim doctor in
the history of 1,400 years of Islamic Medicine who on the basis of this
"very important" information was able to find a cure for any illness
of his patients? The very fact that we have not been able to find even one
medical encyclopedia or textbook of human anatomy at a university library that
mentions the number of joints is certainly a good indication of how
unimportant and irrelevant this number is for doctors and scientists.
[ Update: After being pressured from many sides, Abdallah
finally removed this article from his site on 27 May 2004. See the article, Osama
Abdallah: Spreading Hoaxes for the Advancement of Islam?, for more on the
story. The below article will remain on our site for two reasons: 1. historical
documentation, 2. the claim is still part of the sayings of Muhammad, so that
the refutation is still relevant.]- http://www.answering-islam.org/Responses/Osama/360joints.htm

He wrote…
Most Recent Discoveries:
Recently Father Pecerillo, a famous Franciscan Archiologist,
found more than twenty churches in Madaba at the
south of Jordan.
From the Forth Century we found houses in Syria, Lebanon, Iraq and Palestine
with this inscription in Arabic :"Bism Allah al Rahman al Rahim" which
showed that Christians were the first to use this name, Allah for GOD Almighty,
which proves that the name of GOD Almighty in the Noble Quran,
"Allah" is the correct one. This also proves to us that the Bible is
not all found. There are still missing pieces in it that disprove trinity.
And then have a look at this
Arabic Catholic site: -
http://www.al-bushra.org/arbhrtg/arbxtn04.htm
Recently Father Pecerillo, a famous Franciscan Archiologist, found morethan
twenty churches in Madaba at the south of Jordan. From
the Forth Century we found houses in Syria, Lebanon, Iraq and Palestine with
this inscriptionin Arabic :"Bism

to use this name so as to indicate their beliefin the
Holy Trinity, more than two hundred years before Islam.
Can you see it? Hint (about the Trinity)
What Osama and Ysihan have constantly failed to see
is that Bism El-Lah al Rahman al Rahim is an Aramiac Basmallah:
Bism El-l:ah al Rahman
l Rahim
In the name of the Father the Son and the Holy Ghost
Father = Elah
= Elooha /Elaha (Syric)
Son = Rahman = Rahmano (Syric)
Holy Spirit = Rahim = Rahemo
(Syric)
And that’s what I have told Ysihan long time ago. It’s a Christian Basmallah
long before Islam and it’s an Aramaic style Basmmallah
that reflect the Christian belief; in the name of the FATHER, the SON and the
HOLY SPIRIT.
What is interesting also about
Osama is his “ugly” plagiarism…. and ….you know better the rest concerning the
above!

This was verified by an Arabic Christian! He

The word El-LAH isn't the word
"ALLAH". Osama lied.
"Among the Northern
Arabs of early times, particularly in the region of Safa, THE
WORD EL 'GOD' was still very commonly used as a separate name of the
Deity." The IL and ILAH formations came much later. This means that
EL was used by Arabs at one time as the name of God. This would be verified in
the Bible, where the father of the Arabs, IshmaEL,
was given a name with the name of God, EL, in it. (Hastings, James,
Encyclopedia of Religion and Ethics, Vol 1, p. 664).
Jesus spoke Aramaic not Arabic.
Osama- We all know that weed-head. But "Elaw"
does mean "God" in Aramaic, which is the same as "Allah" in
Arabic. "Allah" is like "Elaw"
and "Yahweh". They are all Attributes of GOD Almighty.
Again, do you know what "Attribute" means?
Que-Allah doesn't not mean
"GOD" in Arabic:
<It is “ALLAH,” not “God!” Yet, it is never a
name for a god!…>
There is no god to be worshipped, there is only
ALLAH! This statement also reveals that: "ALLAH is not a GOD…”
Nobody can comprehend what the “Religion of Islam” is about and why it has ever
come, unless one fully understood the difference in meaning between a concept
of “god” and the name “ALLAH” signified. Due to this, one can keep
misinterpreting the matter of religion (Islam)!… I have tried to make it
clear that any idea that the word “god” implies is completely different in
meaning than the name “ALLAH” implies. These are two different words with
completely different meanings...
<The word “god” is a common adjective, yet
“ALLAH” is a proper noun for a unique essence… >
The original Religion of Islam” in effect is
fully based on the meaning implied by the name “ALLAH.” (Hulusi,
Ahmad; Muhammad's Allah: "ALLAH" is not a GOD)
And,
The word ALLAH has never been applied to any
other than ALLAH, neither in proper form nor in common. Take the names such as
“ilah” and “huda,”
for example; none of them is a proper name as “Allah.” They imply a concept of
“god” or “lord.” It has been said “gods” as the plural form of “god,” “lords”
as for “lord,” etc. Unlike, it has never been said “Allahs”
and can never be so…
<So, the common name GOD IS NOT
SYNONYMOUS FOR THE PROPER NOUN “ALLAH,” and is not an equivalent for “Allah.”
“GOD” IS A VERY COMMON NAME!>
Therefore one SHOULD NEVER TRANSLATE THE NAME
“ALLAH” AS “GOD.”(Yazir, Hamdi
of Elmali; Koran Interpretation, [Religious
Affairs Directory, Vol.1, p.24-25])
It is wrong and false to claim that Allah is a
synonym for God, when the word in Arabic is "ILAH" which correctly
derives from the root word "alaha" to
deify. what is the root word for Allah? There is none in Arabic. That is why Quranic scholar Pickthall said
this:
I have retained the word
Allah throughout, because THERE IS NO CORRESPONDING WORD IN ENGLISH. The word Allah (the
stress is on the last syllable) has neither feminine nor plural, and has
never been applied to anything other than the unimaginable Supreme Being. I
use the word "God" ONLY WHERE THE CORRESPONDING WORD ILAH IS
FOUND IN THE ARABIC. (Pickthall, Mohammad M., The
Glorious Quran, pg. 1; Translator's Note,
Library of Islam; KAZI Pub. Inc, 10th Revision, 1994; ISDN 1-56744-044-4)
If there is no corresponding word for Allah,
then "God" can't be used as a conclusion to try to link it to El. It
is clear that the word "ILAH" is used as the term only for God in
Arabic while Allah is the name of this ILAH. To say that God is the same as
saying Allah is totally wrong and misleading.
LIE#17. CLAIMS ISAIAH 9:6 REFERS TO
HEZEKIAH, BUT WAIT HE CONTRADICTS THIS SAYING IT REFERS TO JESUS ELSEWHERE!
From www.answering-christianity.com/godtitle.htm:
1- Ezekiel means "Strong
God". It also means "Yahweh is Strong God".
......
3- Gabriel also means "Strong God".
4- Isaiah or Jesaiah means "Salvation from
Yahweh". It could also mean "Salvation".
5- Joshua means "Yahweh Saves".
6- Elli, which is a common name for
men before and after Jesus, means "God". Psalm 82:6 "I said, 'You are "gods"; you are all
sons of the Most High.' " "gods" here in Hebrew is "Elohim", which is
plural of "EL". It is the same exact thing as
"EL" used for Jesus in Isaiah 9:6, since "gods" is a
combination of several "EL"s. And as clearly shown here, for someone to be called
"god" or "God" in the Bible it wouldn't make him GOD
Almighty Himself, the LORD or Jehovah. I also want to point out that ANY "Son
of GOD" in the Bible is a "god" or "God"
as clearly shown in Psalm 82:6.
Note: The trinitarian liars who
translate the Bible into English play dirty tricks about capitalizing and
lowering the "g" in "God" to prove their trinity lie, while
they fully know that it is the same word used for ALL!
............
Second, Osama candidly admits that Isaiah 9:6 does refer to the Lord Jesus
Christ, whereas in other articles he actually denies that it does. In the
following article Osama tries to prove that Isaiah 9 actually refers to
Hezekiah:
... In the verse under
study, the prophet expounds his message by formulating a prophetic name for Hezekiah. The words of this name form a sentence expressive of God's
greatness, which will become manifest in the benefits to be bestowed upon the
future king in his lifetime. Thus, the name, though borne by the king, serves,
in reality, as a testimonial to God.
Hezekiah is called
"a wonderful counselor" because this name is a sign, which foretells
God's design for him ...
Hezekiah is called
"the mighty God" because this name is a sign that foretells God's
defense of Jerusalem
through the miraculous sudden mass death of Sennacherib's army ...
The fact remains that Jesus
did not literally or figuratively fulfill any of Isaiah's words. A wonderful
counselor does not advise his followers that if they have faith they can be
agents of destruction (Matthew 21:19-21; Mark 11:14, 20-23). A mighty God does
not take orders from anyone (Luke2:51, Hebrews 5:8), for no one is greater than
he is (Matthew 12:31-32; John 5:30, 14:28). Moreover, he does not ask or need
to be saved by anyone (Matthew 26:39, Luke 22:42), for he cannot die by any
means (Matthew 27:50, Mark 15:37, Luke 23:46, John 19:30). He who is called the
Son of God the Father (John 1:18, 3:16) cannot himself be called everlasting
Father. One cannot play simultaneously the role of the son and the Father; it
is an obvious self-contradiction. He who advocates family strife (Matthew
10:34-35, Luke 12:49-53) and killing enemies (Luke 19:27) cannot be called a
ruler of peace. (Source)
Thus, Osama seems to be changing his position from one paper to another, a clear
indication of just how confused he is about what the Holy Bible actually
teaches. –( http://www.answering-islam.org/Responses/Osama/jeremiah23.htm)
---So what is it Osama? First you lie and claim that “Hezekiah is
mentioned in Isaiah 9:6” elsewhere you claim that “it is Jesus who is
mentioned”! As you can see, Osama
Abdallah doesn’t argue with any sort of honesty and integrity. When confronted
with this reality, note his response:
OSAMA ON HEZEKIAH
Osama tries to defend against my charge that he keeps
changing his views from one paper to the next:
I am not changing positions. My points were taken from www.jewsforjudaism.org,
and I only proved that Isaiah 9:6 does not in anyway refer to GOD Almighty
since the Jews themselves have strong evidence that Isaiah 9:6 points to one of
their kings. I was in other words exposing the doubts in the Bible and
disproving the polytheist trinity paganism lie.
RESPONSE:
Osama says he didn’t change positions, even though in one
instance he says that Isaiah 9:6 doesn’t refer to Jesus, while elsewhere he
says it does refer to Christ. So saying that Isaiah 9:6 refers to Hezekiah in
one paper, and then saying that it refers to Jesus in another paper, is not
changing one’s position!? I guess Osama has a different definition of ‘changing
positions’.-( http://www.answering-islam.org/Responses/Osama/jeremiah23_r.htm)
--To say one thing first and then change it while not
acknowledging that your previous position was either incorrect or not totally
correct IS CALLED A LIE.
LIE#18. IS HEAVEN REALLY IN THE
MIDDLE EAST? OSAMA SAYS SO!
From
- http://www.answering-christianity.com/heaven.htm
Christians believe that in heaven we will not have our
earthly bodies. We will be spirits
without bodies living peacefully in heaven.
They base their claim mostly on the following verse: "Jesus replied, 'You are in error
because you do not know the Scriptures or the power of God. At the resurrection people will neither marry
nor be given in marriage; they will be like the angels in heaven.' (Matthew 22:29-30)" Christians took the verse from Jesus peace
be upon him so literal when he said that we will be like angels (spirits) in
heaven, and based their entire theory that in heaven we will not have bodies
upon it.
Christians don’t
believe any such thing; we believe that in heaven we will have a glorified
earthly body!!! I wonder where in the world Osama came up with this
interpretation of this. In Matthew 22:29
we don’t see any mention of not having an earthly body, we just see Jesus saying
that we won’t have to marry. Do you see
body here? I sure don’t.
Muslims believe that GOD Almighty at the Day of
Resurrection will recreate our bodies to have the same exact size and age as
Adam's body when he was created which is 70 arms in length and 20 arms in
width. Muslims believe that heaven will
contain beautiful materials that we feel and touch in earth today such as food,
drink, relationships, joy, etc.... but on a much larger scale and in a much more
beautifully designed fashion.
Osama’s “bodiless
theory” is one of the biggest lies in the world. Even in the Bible angels are
beings who have Bodies!!! The bible never describes angels as being bodiless.
Just look at the story of Lazarus and the rich man. Both died but one went to
heaven and another one went to hell. The rich man in hell had a physical body
and cried out for Lazarus to put a drop of water on his tongue. How can he say
this when he is bodiless? Also how can Lazarus put water on his tongue if he
didn't have a body in heaven? We’ll leave that for Bible neophyte Osama to
answer.
Also the Quran mentions no such thing of Adam being created 70 arms
in length, note my dear reader, this comes from the Hadith.
Keep this in mind because in future articles we will use this example.
The Old Testament contradicts the Christian theologians!
In the old Testament in the book of Genesis, we read about
the famous story of Adam being the first human being created in heaven. Then GOD Almighty created Eve from his
rib. Then later we read about Eve
deceiving Adam and tempting him to eat the apple that GOD Almighty had
forbidden him to eat it, and because of it GOD Almighty sent Adam and all
mankind after him to earth to suffer.
This is also a lie because
the Bible says that the rivers that watered the grade of Eden
were the Euphrates, the Pishon, the Gihon and the Tigris.
These rivers are in the Middle East!!! How can
Osama explain the Bible to us when he doesn't even read this? Who in their right mind would think that
these rivers were in heaven!!! Is Africa and Mesopotamia
in heaven? Osama sure thinks so.
1- GOD created a husband and a wife in heaven. This contradicts the New Testament above when
it claimed that we will only be spirits that don't marry in heaven.
God made Adam and
Eve in the earthly Eden!!
Even the Quran and Muhammad know about this. I wonder in the Bible did it ever say that Eden was planted in
heaven. No!!! Take note dear reader, if Osama mixes us the general baby basics
of Christianity how can his site be called answering Christianity when he
doesn’t even know where the Garden of Eden was located at? On his website he
still presents this as proof against Christianity so we will continue to expose
him for all to see.
2- GOD created a body for Adam in heaven, he had a head, a
mouth, a neck, a stomach to feed himself the forbidden apple and digested it in
his stomach/body. This also contradicts
that we will only be spirits with no bodies in heaven as the New Testament
claims.
The bible never said
that Adam was created in Heaven. Explain to us why the Earthly Rivers are
watering Heaven Osama? Do we see these rivers going up through the atmosphere?
Osama sure thinks so.
3- Adam peace be upon him did feel hungry enough to get
tempted to eat the forbidden apple. This
proves that our earthly feelings and desires such as hunger, sexual desires,
love, emotions, etc... will exist in heaven as well.
This was in the tree
of life in the middle of the earthly Eden!!!
This utterly amazing because even the Quran says that
Adam was in the Garden and not on earth read:
2.35 And We said: "O Adam! dwell thou and thy wife in the
Garden; and eat of the bountiful things therein as (where and when) ye
will; but approach not this tree, or ye run into harm and
transgression."
20.121 In the result, they both ate of the tree, and so
their nakedness appeared to them: they began to sew together, for their
covering, leaves from the Garden: thus did Adam disobey his Lord,
and fell into error.
One must wonder
seriously on why the Quran never mentions that Adam
was in heaven. Osama seems to confuse the earthly garden of Eden to the Gardens
offered after death!!!
The Noble Quran talks in great
details about how Paradise will have rivers
from honey and milk, how much beautiful nature we will have and how we will
have beautiful angels serving us in heaven.
The Noble Quran and the Old
Testament seem to agree fully that (1) Heaven has materialistic things that we
can feel and live with in it; and (2) We do get married in heaven and practice
our sexual desires (although that's not the main point because the Noble Quran only talked very briefly about it) when we desire it.
They don't agree at
all because in Genesis of the O.T. we see that the garden was planted in the Middle East and not in heaven. So the Quran
is based upon error. This is very embarrassing.
I as a Muslim who loves and respects our beloved Messenger
of GOD, Jesus peace be upon him think that the Bible is full of corruptions and
fake sayings about Jesus. I don't
believe that Jesus contradicted himself by saying that. I personally think that if indeed Jesus said
that quote in Matthew 22:29-30 above, then he only meant that women are not
given in marriage without seeing their husbands as the Jews used to do back
then with their pre-arranged marriage culture.
Also, Jesus probably meant to say that women in heaven will not be
forced into any marriage without their will. But according to the truth, we will live in
paradise in earthly bodies. We won't
have our current bodies according to Islam.
We will have bodies that look similar to Adam's which is 70 arms in
height and 20 arms in width.
Jesus didn't
contradict himself, he actually read the scriptures, and Osama just went and
pasted something without exploring it. Notice how Osama said JESUS PROBABLY
MEANT TO SAY…, since when is an opinion the final standard used to prove the
bible was wrong. This is very funny Osama because we Christians laugh at you
for not even knowing that the Garden of Eden was on Earth. No Muslim nor Jew,
or Christian will ever agree with this assessment.
We also can not take everything in the Bible so literal
because it will mislead us. In the case
of Matthew 22:29-30 above it is quite obvious that we must not take the saying
of Jesus so literal because it is contradicting the way GOD Almighty defined
heaven from the very beginning when He created it in the Bible and in the Noble
Quran.
No, we must follow
the illiterate prophet and take the illiterate approach out. It seems like
Osama did this perfectly since he didn't read about Eden being water by earthly rivers in the
middle east!!!
Genesis 2:7 the LORD God formed the man from the dust of the
ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man
became a living being.
8 Now the LORD God had planted a garden in the east, in Eden; and there he put
the man he had formed.
9 And the LORD God made all kinds of trees grow out of the
ground--trees that were pleasing to the eye and good for food. In the middle of
the garden were the tree of life and the tree of the knowledge of good and
evil.
10 A river watering the garden flowed from Eden; from there it was separated into four
headwaters.
11 The name of the first is the Pishon;
it winds through the entire land
of Havilah,
where there is gold.
12 (The gold of that land is good; aromatic resin [8] and onyx are also
there.)
13 The name of the second river is the Gihon;
it winds through the entire land
of Cush.
14 The name of the third river is the Tigris;
it runs along the east side of Asshur. And the fourth
river is the Euphrates.
15 The LORD God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to work
it and take care of it.
16 And the LORD God commanded the man, "You are free to eat from
any tree in the garden;
Cush for example, was in Ethopia
not Heaven, what more can we expect from a man who follows a prophet that says
that the sun sets in the ocean!!!
LIE#19. PAUL CONTRADICTED JESUS AND
WAS A FALSE APOSTLE?!
On
his most recent post as of 11/18/04, Osama Abdallah appeals to MENJ of the
website Bismikaallahuma.org to try and disprove the beloved Apostle Paul.
11/18/2004- I added
several links from brother MENJ's
web site about Paul, a self-claimed Prophet, that exposed his
contradictions of Jesus' teachings and mocking of Moses' Law to the section Detailed
History of Bible's Corruption, and list of textual Contradictions in the Bible.
However, Mr. Abdallah seems to be ignorant of
the fact that Menj’s polemics were already refuted. Look here:
PAUL, the self-appointed Prophet, was proven to
be a deceiver who contradicted the teachings of Jesus and mocked the Law of
Moses.
Paul of Tarsus: The Clear-Cut Hypocrite
The Problem of Paul Regarding Esau

REFUTED HERE:
And,
http://www.answer-islam.org/Paul.html
It
seems like Mr. Abdallah continues to propagate lies against Christianity even
though he knows that Menj’s material was soundly refuted. These articles left Menj speechless! As time passes along this page will
significantly grow in the future to cover all the lies of Osama Abdallah. He is
quick to attack Craig Winn but he should examine himself first.
Why do
you not understand My speech? Because you are not able to listen to My
word. YOU ARE OF YOUR FATHER THE DEVIL, and the desires of your father you
want to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in
the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he
speaks from his own resources, FOR HE IS A LIAR AND THE FATHER OF IT. John
8:43-44
We
see that Osama is following in the footsteps of his father, Satan. He is a liar
and the father of it. God Bless. Now we will conclude in Osama’s own words he
used against Mr. Winn. Minor changes to his commentary are in italics.
2- Conclusion:
As we clearly saw above, Osama
Abdallah, the liar, deliberately misquoted the Bible and all other
sources that he presented to serve his evil intentions and that is to
disprove Christianity by all cost,
even if it means to fabricate lies. You can clearly see the intentions in
purposely misquoting Books.
We also saw how his references to the quotes he gave all fell too
short. He obviously didn't read these quotes from any of the Books he
used in his articles. He
apparently copied them from another liar like him.
How can you trust anything he says and any quote he presents, especially
from the sources that are considered "unauthenticated" and
"doubtful" and are not available to many people such as the Talmud and the apocryphal?
Knowing the above lies about him:
How can we trust that this liar, Osama Abdallah,
to even correctly quote material that exists in these books??
