Deedat Confuses "Versions" with "Texts"
1 view
Ahmed Deedat was a wildly popular Islamic apologist, but his knowledge of the textual critical principles of the New Testament was astoundingly shallow and poor. Here is an example.
- 00:01
- Don't Muslims also have different versions of the Qur 'an for Arabs?
- 00:17
- The question was, do Muslims also have different versions of the
- 00:23
- Qur 'an? We have no different versions. See, translations, you have a choice of words.
- 00:46
- Like, the word I quoted you, from the Gospel of Saint John, chapter 18, verse 9, where it says,
- 00:52
- I have, that's one translation. Another one says, not one or none choice of words.
- 01:05
- Not a single one. These are what is called choice. But the version is, as the brother was trying to explain, he said that the verse on the
- 01:17
- Trinity is an interpolation. He said that. Interpolation.
- 01:24
- Interpolation means something that has been pushed into it, which is not supposed to be there. And in the
- 01:29
- Bible he presented to me, that verse is a part of the text. In other words, now that's a version.
- 01:36
- You open another book, the Roman Catholic version of the
- 01:42
- Bible, which is an RSV. They threw it out of the fabrication, that verse.
- 01:53
- This RSV is a different version. You remember the verse I quoted you? Jesus telling
- 01:59
- Paul, why kick at Christ? That verse, that filthy, dirty verse, is now thrown out of this as an interpolation.
- 02:09
- As a fabrication. As an adulteration. You see the version now.
