I showed these video clips right at the start of class tonight; the stills are where I stopped to get interaction from the class. I provide them for general interest, but also because one class member couldn't attend.
- 00:00
- My question to the doctor,
- 00:20
- I heard you repeating many times he's saying he's a creator about Jesus be some blessing be upon him because we
- 00:27
- Muslim believe in Jesus the mighty prophet of God. I heard you many times he's saying he's the creator of everything and all things so I want you to explain to me if it's possible if he's a creator of everything when
- 00:43
- Jesus be some blessing be upon him was he walking by the fig tree was his companion the fig tree was his companion and he wants to eat some fig and they told him master the fig is not in season so if he was
- 01:01
- God how he don't know if he create the tree how he know how he does he doesn't know if what's in season or what not in season if he create everything okay and if the fig was not in season and he's
- 01:15
- God first of all we don't accept God to be hungry he wants to eat but you Christian you said
- 01:21
- God choose to do so so that's your fate but I'm saying even if you was
- 01:27
- God and fig is not in season why he couldn't order the tree to bring fig okay isn't that God the one create everything okay thank you.
- 01:41
- He did so because the fig tree represented the people of Israel and he made the application the people of Israel look like they have fruit but they do not it was a clear application that he made secondly he did eat food because the word became flesh he became hungry he became tired because as the
- 01:57
- New Testament as it was written clearly indicates Jesus Christ was the
- 02:02
- God man the eternal logos became flesh and dwelt among us he was a true man he ate food he became tired he slept he grew etc etc
- 02:13
- Christians have always believed that why because we believe all the New Testament teaches your question
- 02:19
- I'm yes good evening I would like to be able to say I greet everybody in the blessings of peace
- 02:25
- I raised up in my household as a good Christian me myself who is this dress to place is addressed to this gentleman right here dr.
- 02:34
- white dr. white my mother up to the day she's still a good Christian and I was raised in the church as a young man and for some reason or another while I was coming up there was some kind of thing that came over me
- 02:50
- I wanted one day I was reading and I wanted to know what was the color of Jesus now not okay now not to say no not to say
- 03:07
- I wanted to know what was the color of Jesus because the reason why because from the time
- 03:12
- I was a little boy and I raised up in the Virgin Island I always had a beautiful white Jesus in my house with long hair beautiful and everything and my parents they raised me in a real good manner but every time we went to church there was always a white
- 03:28
- Christian Church and a black Christian Church so I wanted to understand when was going to be the relation coming together but let me just go on to really conclude what
- 03:36
- I'm really trying to say please ask a question yes I am thank you he made a statement he made a statement that nowhere in the
- 03:43
- Bible it said that God is one but here what it says of the
- 03:49
- Tenth Commandment it says Moses summons all of Israel and said hear all
- 03:57
- Israel the decree and law I declare in hearing today learn them this is the
- 04:04
- Bible now learn them and be sure to follow them the Lord your
- 04:09
- God made a covenant with us at Herban it was not your father that the
- 04:16
- Lord made this covenant but with us with all of us who are alive today the
- 04:22
- Lord spoke he said face to question sir okay let me ask you he says again I am your
- 04:27
- Lord God who brought you out of Egypt out of the land of slavery you shall have no other gods beside me amen finish hold up because it didn't say
- 04:38
- I don't see you say Jesus say beside me and this is before Jesus was born this is the laws of Moses now okay before Jesus was born so he couldn't be talking about Jesus okay please ask a question please don't teach okay let me and let me go on to the next part what
- 04:52
- I wanted to say again I'm almost there I'm almost there I'm almost there just give me a minute
- 04:57
- I'm almost there am I gonna have to call a bouncer that's the question sir okay all right
- 05:03
- I want to know again where Jesus as you say he's the
- 05:10
- Son of God was the Son of God a black man or a white man Jesus Christ was a
- 05:21
- Palestinian Jew sir in response to the other passages I believe the Shema I asserted the
- 05:27
- Shema in my opening presentation Christians are monotheists as I pointed out there is a difference however between oneness of being and oneness of person and when we allow all of Scripture to teach us when we don't determine that well one saying
- 05:42
- God is one means that I'm going to reject everything in the Bible that teaches me that the Father the Son the
- 05:47
- Spirit are one and they're sharing that divine nature when we allow Scripture to teach us we recognize that Jesus did eternally exist
- 05:55
- John 1 1 in the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God the
- 06:00
- Scriptures plainly teach that and in fact they so plainly teach it that my opponent this evening has to say those passages were not originally written under the inspiration of the
- 06:07
- Holy Spirit but when we allow Scripture to speak for Scripture Christians believe the
- 06:12
- Shema they are monotheists but since we accept all that God says and not just a part we recognize that the
- 06:19
- Scriptures teach us the doctrine of the Trinity and as far as what his color was as I said he was a Palestinian Jew sir
- 06:25
- I'm sorry you had a white Jesus but the Scriptures teach he was a Palestinian Jew that's right mr.
- 06:31
- Malik all right you can may use the Scripture to set up your question but please get right to your question all right yes sir yes my question is my question is very simple who's it addressed to please mr.
- 06:41
- white this is scripture here in Isaiah 44 24 yes sir and you do keep saying over and over that Jesus the
- 06:51
- Creator and he actually said he made you and my question is if here in the Isaiah 44 24 in this
- 06:58
- Bible right here is the Lord your Redeemer and his Redeemer the Lord of hosts said
- 07:03
- I am the Lord who made all things you said Jesus created yes he made you here it says
- 07:09
- I am the Lord who made all things who alone alone stretched out the heavens alone who spread out the earth by my myself yes sir are you calling
- 07:20
- God a liar here not at all when you said Jesus made you yes sir you were here
- 07:25
- God says I made all Jehovah says that yes sir I made all things you said
- 07:31
- Jesus made all things are you calling God a liar no sir and you also said that God was holy yes sir you did say that and Jesus was a man and he ate food and the food came out in the form of feces which is not holy are you saying
- 07:43
- God used the feces all right two things first of all Isaiah 44 24 teaches that Jehovah alone created all things the again if you don't rip the
- 07:52
- Bible apart Jehovah is identified as Jesus Christ in John 12 41 and in Hebrews chapter 1 verses 10 through 12 before he was
- 07:59
- Jehovah we're not debating I'm answering your question Jehovah is used of the Father the
- 08:04
- Son and the Holy Spirit I love Isaiah 44 24 the difference between us sir is I love
- 08:09
- Isaiah 44 24 I don't call it it a lie but I also love Colossians 1 15 through 17 and I don't call it a lie the two together teach the truth as to who
- 08:19
- Jesus Christ was sir if you think that when God made Adam that he was unholy and yet he operated by eating food and doing those things as well well we have a problem
- 08:28
- I don't think that Jesus Christ the sinless Son of God was unholy in anything because again the scriptures say he was the pure lamb of God and he was completely holy
