Assalamualaikum guys,

Can someone please recommend me some good books about textual criticisms of the bible?

Assalamualaikum dear Brother Osama,

Do you know the christian website called Tektonics? It's gaining a lot of popularity nowadays, i'm seeing more and more Christians using this website to refute arguments which attacks the Textual Integrity of the Bible as well as other common subjects...It also seems that all those Christian Apologetics websites which grows like mushrooms seems to borrow many of their arguments from Tektonics...Have you dealt with articles of this website in the past brother Osama? Seems muslims should deal with the Queen first instead of the Xenomorphs...

Assalamualaikum,

I've put the article of the trinitarians on pastebin because it's a bit long and also i would break the rules if i put the link of the original website so sorry about the inconvenience

Assalamualaikum,

 I just read the latest Issue of Dabiq....They make lengthy articles about wisdom and contemplation and on the same page they put bloody pictures of their attacks and i guess this is enough to prove how idiotic they are...i went on page 30 and the title was "Why we hate you and why we fight you" and all the reasons that they've written are mainly emotional with a tiny amount of Quranic verses which are as usual taken out of context...They mock the claim that Islam is a peaceful religion and calls muslims like us "Apostates" and what is really funny is that they don't even bring a single proof from the Quran and Hadiths to prove us wrong....what is even funnier is that they put pictures of kids who are apparently playing happily in the caliphate in order to attract sympathizers who wish to bring their kids and i'm pretty sure little do these sympathizers know about the amount of child soldiers that have been recruited and judging from the amount of territory and fighters that these idiots have lost, there is a high chance that these kids are on the frontline...

Assalamualaikum guys,

"Hypostatic Union", have you guys ever heard of this term? I was reading articles on CARM.org and i came across an article in which Mr Matt was using this argument to explain why Jesus(peace be upon Him) didn't know the time of his return.Hypostatic Union simply means that Jesus had TWO natures, His "divine" one and the "human" one.I've seen that Sami Zaatari already refuted his article but I would like to ask one question.So basically i would like to quote the words of Mr Matt which he used to explain Hypostatic Union on his website...

"Hypostatic Union is the union of the two natures (Divine and human) in the person of Jesus. Jesus is God in flesh (John 1:1, 14, 10:30-33, 20:28, Phil. 2:5-8, Heb. 1:8). He is fully God and fully man (Col. 2:9), thus, He has two natures: God and man. He is not half God and half man. He is 100% God and 100% man. He never lost His divinity. He continued to exist as God when He became a man and added human nature to Himself (Phil. 2:5-11). Therefore, there is a "union in one person of a full human nature and a full divine nature."

Did you guys notice some really important things which he said about the nature of Jesus? Let me quote it again...


 "He is 100% God and 100% man"

"He NEVER lost his divinity"

"He CONTINUED to exist as God when he became a Man"

"Full human nature and full divine nature"

So my question is(using the Hypostatic Union logic of course), if Jesus never lost his "divinity", he was still "100%" God and if he still had his "Full divine nature", this means he still retained his "divine wisdom and knowledge" when he became human right? Then how on earth he didn't know the time of his return?

One his article Mr Matt says....

"Before Jesus' crucifixion and resurrection He said the Father alone knew the day and hour of His return.  It wasn't until after Jesus' crucifixion and resurrection that omniscience was attributed to Jesus."

My question is, how on earth was Jesus granted omniscience only after his crucifixion and resurrection when in His own explanation of "Hypostatic Union" he said that...

"He is 100% God and 100% Man"

"He NEVER lost his divinity"

"He CONTINUED to exist as God when he became a Man"

"Full human nature and full divine nature"

So using the Hypostatic Union logic, Isn't Jesus supposed to retain his "Omniscience" attribute?

Assalamualaikum guys,

I need some help concerning something really "strange".I was planning to post this 2 weeks before but i kinda got busy.Well I don't really remember for what reason but 2 weeks ago i reading chapter 15 of the "Ishut" on Chabad.org and i stumbled across this "verse"...



"A man should not marry a barren women, an elderly woman, an aylonit or a minor who is not fit to bear a child[11]
 unless he has already fulfilled the mitzvah of being fruitful and multiplying,[12] or he has another wife with whom he can father children.[13]"

The footnote of number 11 says...

From the Shulchan Aruch (Even HaEzer 23:1), one can infer that sexual relations with a minor are considered as emitting wasted seed, one of the more severe prohibitions of the Torah. The Ramah (loc. cit.:5) and other authorities, however, differ and explain that as long as relations are carried out in an ordinary manner, having relations with a minor or an aylonit DOES NOT VIOLATE this prohibition.

Ok i went to check Schulchan Arukh Even HaEzer 23:1 to see what exactly does it say and this is what it says....

"It is prohibited to spill seed needlessly and this sin is more severe than all Torah transgressions. For this reason a man should not thresh inside and sprinkle [his semen] outside [of a woman], and he should not marry a girl who is unable to have children."

BUT a couple of "verses" below, more accurately on 23:5 it is written...



"A woman who has some sort of closure in her womb and therefore when her husband has relations with her he sprinkles outside, this is prohibited (but it is PERMITTED to have relations with a minor or an aylonit since this is the way of the land) (Tosafot and the Mordecai ch. 1 Yevamot, and Nimukei Yosef on the chapter [entitled] Haba al Yevamto)."

Can anyone give me his opinion on this? Does that mean sexual relationship with minors is allowed in some circumstances in Judaism?

Here is a link to Ishut chapter 15 on Chabad.org....

And here is the link where i was reading Schulchan Arukh 23:1-5....

Assalamualaikum,

I noticed something kinda weird in the NRSV...

Matthew 2:11New Revised Standard Version (NRSV)

11 On entering the house, they saw the child with Mary his mother; and they knelt down and paid him homage. Then, opening their treasure chests, they offered him gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh.

The greek word "prosekynēsan" is translated as "paid him homage".Well it's ok until the same word is translated as "Worship"...

Matthew 14:32-33New Revised Standard Version (NRSV)

32 When they got into the boat, the wind ceased. 33 And those in the boat worshiped(prosekynēsan) him, saying, “Truly you are the Son of God.”

Seriously is this some kind of joke?

Well hi guys! 

Recently i was reading a short article on Answering Christianity concerning how non jews are considered by the jews.The link is below

http://www.answering-christianity.com/nonjews_in_talmud.htm

Well somewhere it is written:-

"The Jews are called human beings, but the non-Jews are not humans. THEY ARE BEASTS."  TALMUD: Baba Mezia, 114b (page referrals).

Well i checked the Baba Mezia...i can't find this sentence...here's the link to 114b below...it would be great if you guys could check it because maybe i'm mistaken...or maybe the JewsforAllah authors were mistaken or didn't check the source...
