In this post I am going to highlight the dishonest and deceitful tactics of Muslims in their attempts of concealing the grossly immoral, vile, shameful teachings of their prophet. In al-Bukhari, the son of the second caliph Umar ibn al-Khattab expounds on the meaning of Q. 2:223, which describes women as a field that men can plow into any way they deem fit. What makes Ibn Umar’s exegesis interesting is that a part of his reply has been deliberately omitted! Here’s the narrati

Exposing More of Islam’s Vulgarity and Indecency In this post, I am going to highlight some more of the indecent, tasteless and vulgar language employed within the Quran, ahadith and/or Islamic sources. In particular, I am going to focus on how one of Islam’s greatest scholars and expositors interpreted the following passage, which mentions the virginal conception of the Lord Jesus: “She said: My Lord! when shall there be a son (born) to I me, and man has not touched me? He s

The following is taken from Islam Question & Answer: On acting; and the ruling on marrying young girls . All emphasis is mine. On acting; and the ruling on marrying young girls Question 1)What is the ruling of islam acting in movies? If it is allowed what type of films must be them? Also what is the role of women in movies? 2)Why islam allowed to marry children(girls) of age below 10 with out their permission(it is said that in the case of children, it requires the concern of

I hope you can explain with reference to the Qur’aan and saheeh hadeeths. Answer Praise be to Allah. Firstly:  Islam does not give a spe

In this article I am going to be taking a section from my multi-part rebuttal to Muslim dawagandist and professor Jonathan A. C. Brown concerning the age of Aisha, in order to provide Christians and non-Muslims with all the evidence they need to refute the oft-repeated Muslim lie that nine year old Aisha had reached puberty when 54 year old Muhammad took her to his bed and slept with her at the time when she was still playing on swings and dolls. I will provide links to my se

The following excerpts are taken from The Book of Enoch, Section I , and focus on the book’s view of death, the afterlife, hell, and the punishment of the wicked.   Here is another link to the English translation of Enoch: The Book of Enoch Index . All emphasis will be mine.   [Chapter 14] 1  The book of the words of righteousness, and of the reprimand of the eternal Watchers in accordance  2  with the command of the Holy Great One in that vision. I saw in my sleep what I wil

The Authorized King James Version (AV) of the Holy Bible renders two different words as hell, namely the Hebrew term Sheol  (Greek – Hades ) and the Greek phrase Gehenna . Sheol/Hades typically refers to the abode of the disembodied dead, the place where the spirits/souls of the departed go to when they physically die. In certain instances, it simply means the common grave. And up until Jesus’ physical resurrection and ascension into heaven everyone went to this spiritual pla

In this short post I am going to establish that the place called hell (Greek geenna / gehenna ), which the Lord Jesus mentions all throughout the Gospels, is the same as the lake of fire that John the Apostle spoke of in the book of Revelation. According to the Lord, hell is the place of unending/everlasting fire where all the unbelievers will be cast into with their physical bodies to experience pain and anguish: “But I say to you that whoever is angry with his brother witho

Refuting Another Muslim Lie  We resume our analysis of the issue of the Islamic position concerning Adam’s sin and its effects upon mankind ( https://answeringislamblog.wordpress.com/2018/11/19/original-forgiveness-did-original-sin-really-end-with-adam-pt-1/ ) . THE AHADITH Recall that in the first of our reply we had cited the following quotation from renowned Muslim expositor Ibn Kathir: This Ayah  mentions the great honor that Allah granted Adam, and Allah reminded Adam’s

Refuting Another Muslim Lie  It is typical for Muslim polemicists to argue that Islam doesn’t believe in “Original Sin,” but in “Original Forgiveness.” By that they mean that Allah supposedly forgave Adam and Eve for their sins, as opposed to the biblical teaching which states that God punished them for their disobedience by handing both of them, along with their offspring, over to the influence and dominion of sin and Satan: “ Therefore as sin came into the world through one

In this post, I am going to present some of the evidence showing that the Quran and hadiths affirm that the sin of Adam and Eve affected the whole human race, and creation in general, by corrupting their descendants and causing them to be expelled from paradise. Note, for example, what the following Quranic text states with respect to the punishment of Adam and Eve for their disobedience: But the Satan made them both fall from it, and caused them to depart from that (state) i

The Quran speaks of Allah extracting seed from the children of Adam in order to make them testify that they would worship none besides him:   And (remember) when your Lord brought forth from the Children of Adam, from their loins, their seed (or from Adam’s loin his offspring) and made them testify as to themselves (saying): “Am I not your Lord?” They said: “Yes! We testify,” lest you should say on the Day of Resurrection: “Verily, we have been unaware of this.” Or lest you s

In this post I am going to prove from the Islamic sources that Allah pays a sacrificial ransom to a created spirit being to procure the release of Muslims from hell. The Command For Blood According to the Quran Allah commanded that all the nations offer blood sacrifices: In them ye have benefits for a term appointed: in the end their place of sacrifice is near the Ancient House. To every people did We appoint rites (of sacrifice) (mansakin), that they might celebrate the name

I now to the finale where I cite from Reformed Calvinists that do believe in limited or definite atonement ( https://www.samshmnthelogy.net/post/case-for-unlimited-atonement-pt-2 ). John Piper on 1 Timothy 2:5-6 Here is what this renowned theologian and pastor wrote concerning this specific text: “How many did Christ effectively ransom from sin? He said that he came ‘to give his life as a ransom for many . Yet not everyone will be ransomed from the wrath of God. But the offer

I proceed from where I left off ( https://www.samshmnthelogy.net/post/case-for-unlimited-atonement-pt-1 ). John on the Atoning Death of Christ   In John’s Gospel, Jesus doesn’t merely come to die for his own sheep but also for the entire world: “I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep… I am the good shepherd. I know My own sheep, and they know Me, as the Father knows Me, and I know the Father. I lay down My life for the sheep. But I have oth

In the next series of posts, I have compiled biblical verses, commentaries, and responses from various Christian scholars and/or apologists showing why the belief that Christ died only for the elect is not biblical teaching. On the meaning and extent of the word “Many”   Here are a few examples where many can and does mean all: “Behold, my servant shall act wisely; he shall be high and lifted up, and shall be exalted.   As many were astonished at you—his appearance was so mar

I continue from where I left off by providing more proofs that Christ died for all creation: LIMITED ATONEMENT DEBATE PT. 2 . JOHN’S GOSPEL John is quite clear that Jesus came into the world that he created for the express purpose of saving all mankind by the revelation of the Gospel: “ ALL THINGS  ( panta ) came into being through Him , and apart from Him nothing came into being that has come into being. In Him was life, and the life was the Light of men.The Light shines in

This is a continuation of the first part of my debate material: LIMITED ATONEMENT DEBATE PT. 1 OTHER VERSES RELATED TO THE EXTENT OF THE ATONEMENT AND THE NECESSITY OF FAITH TO APPROPRIATE IT “But now apart from the Law the righteousness of God has been manifested, being witnessed by the Law and the Prophets, even the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ for all those who believe ; for there is no distinction; for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of G

These are the notes for my debate with Matt Slick on the topic of limited atonement. Refuting Matt Slick’s misuse and misinterpretation of Colossians 2:14 Slick’s Interpretation Col. 2:14 , “[Jesus] having canceled out the certificate of debt consisting of decrees against us and which was hostile to us; and He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross.” “having canceled” is the Greek Exaleipsas, and it is an aorist participle in Greek.  It means that it is a

Some proponents of particular redemption appeal to Hebrews 2:16 to defend their man-made tradition: “For surely it is not angels he helps ( epilamBanetai ), but Abraham’s descendants.” NIV Note, also, the various renderings of this text: “For no where doth he take hold of the angels: but of the seed of Abraham he taketh hold.” DRA “Clearly, it is not angels that Jesus helps. He helps the people who are from Abraham.” ERV “for, doubtless, of messengers it doth not lay hold, bu
