A Quiz on Christianity? #3

We continue with our examination of a quiz for Christianity a quiz on the Bible posted by a Muslim on YouTube. This is the third in our series respond to this we pick up with question number 14. We're asked the number of times mentioned in the Bible where Jesus spoke the words I am God and worship me this of course borrowed directly from Ahmad D dot Picked up by Nike and others and of course those words not appear in the Bible.

What does appear in the Bible of course is Jesus accepting the worship of men identifying the worship of Thomas and identifying him as God as an Statement of faith the Christians being identified as the people who call upon the name of the Lord that term epicaleo to call upon.

It refers to prayer. The description of Jesus as God numerous times Romans 9 5 and in Titus 2 13 2nd Peter 1 1. So again This is a very clear example of Another one of those places where the Muslim takes a portion of the Bible and Does not of course provide us with any kind of real contextual Discussion of what the real issue is in regards to the deity of Christ.

The Gospel of Christ and the Meaning of “Al-Kitab”

Then we're asked in question 15 the gospel of Christ can be found in most Bibles of today can only be found between. And then you're given these various responses. And of course the answer that is offered to you is The gospel of Christ is not part of the Bible nor is a list in the Bible canon.

Which again just shows a complete misunderstanding what the gospel of Christ is. The gospel of Christ is the message about Jesus Christ hence? It's found throughout the Bible prophetically in the Old Testament and throughout all of the New Testament.

This is just a example of ignorance on the part of the person. Posting this material as to the terminology. It's used it'd be like a Christian looking at al-kitab of the people the book in the Quran and not really understanding what it is.

The Longer Ending of Mark and Questionable Signs

Saying question number 16 says a true Christian is able to perform which one of the following acts. And of course the the answer that they're going for is taken from the longer ending of Mark. Which is of course a later edition?

To the text of Mark Mark 16 16 through 18 in regards to drinking deadly poisons and taking up serpents which clearly is not a part of the original gospel of Mark and Therefore is hardly really something that's except the people up in the woods in America someplace along the Appalachian Trail.

Need to get that information as well. Question number 17 according the Bible rainbows are now this one. I did not even begin to understand. Because I don't know what the point that is that is being made is.

The rainbow is given by God as a sign of his covenant, but that doesn't mean that. Because it's given by God that it cannot be for example the what happens when raindrops Refract or bend sunlight reflect the colors back in your direction.

It can be both of those because it is both of those. So I'm really at a bit of a loss as to what the the point of that particular question really was. Question number 18 when a man ran up to Jesus asking good teacher.

What must I do to inherit eternal life? What was his first reply and of course his first reply is why do you call me good? The reason being that the man did not realize who he was dealing with and he thought he was dealing merely with a teacher.

And he needed to deal with the reality that he was dealing with someone much more than merely a teacher. I would assume that the reason for the utilization of this question is The normal use of this by people who deny the deity of Christ that Jesus is somehow denying his own deity in this rather than recognizing Jesus never spoke anything of his own sin.

He asked who convicts me of sin. He forgave sins and who can forgive sins, but God alone, etc, etc. I would assume that is the reason why this particular question is being asked. Question number 19 bless blasphemy against Jesus the Son of Man will be forgiven.

Blasphemy against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven. This is the unforgivable sin. I'm not sure what the point of this one is though I would just take a wild guess that probably this has something to do with well if Blasphemy against Jesus can be forgiven but blasphemy is the Holy Spirit can't be then then the Holy Spirit must be greater.

Ignoring the reality of why blasphemy against the Holy Spirit is unforgivable. Why is it unforgivable because it's the Holy Spirit who brings conviction of sin once you do what the Pharisees had done and begun to?

Identify the work of the Holy Spirit with the work of Satan. Then you are in essence identifying the very means that God brings you to repentance with evil itself and that is such a twisted Activity it shows such a twisted nature that this is what makes it unforgivable is not that is so heinous That it cannot be forgiven.

It is what it represents. God has allowed your Spiritual state to degrade to at that particular point in time a question number 20 then that is asked. There are approximately how many different Christian denominations misspelled all of which make the claim that they are following the only true path salvation.

Not only is that not understand what Christian denominations are. But the number that is given is completely bogus and is based upon the same Bogus material that we exposed in Catholic apologist Steve Ray's Materials where they keep repeating the 30 ,000 and 33 ,000 now, it's up to 38 ,000 here I guess they threw the Catholics in for good measure at this particular point.

This of course is basically counting every single little church as a denomination to itself and and you can go to a omen org for a whole discussion of The inflation of these numbers and what they actually represent.

Quranic Citations and the Bible

Finally, we have given to us a quotation from surah 78 Concerning where they disputing concerning the great news about which they cannot agree truly. They shall soon come to know truly truly. They shall soon come to know.

I Would like to respond to our Islamic friend by pointing him to surah 29 46. Dispute not with the people the book save in the fairer manner except for those of them that do wrong and say we believe in what has been sent down to us and what has been sent Down to you our God and your God is one and to him.

We have surrendered notice. The Bible was sent down to them. They received the books of God and likewise Surah 2 285 says the messenger believes in what was sent down to him from his Lord and the believers.

Each one believes in God and his angels and in his books plural and his messengers. We make no division between any one of his messengers. They say we hear and obey our Lord grant us. I forgiveness unto thee is the homecoming.

I think our Islamic friend needs to learn more about the Bible and he might want to even consider what the Quran says about the Bible and I hope this study that we've done in answering these questions has been useful to everyone who's observed it.

Thanks a lot for watching.
