/ bloggingtheology / freemonotheist I read from 'The Brother of Jesus and the Lost Teachings of Christianity' pages 186-187, by Dr Jeffrey J. Bütz. www.amazon.com/Brother-Jesus-... I highly recommend this book!
I much adore and have a great deal of respect to people who possess so many books and are sincere and objective in their view and study. Also truly the more one reads, the more humble one becomes!
great comment, is that the sun in your profile look like cat fur up close. For me God made this so entertaining intellectually requiring faith, digging knoweldge, inference, deduction etc. But he made it easy for those who don't have patience or can't .. if they just say "God please guide me to your true path, amin" they will receive answer guaranteed through signs, vivid clear vision etc.. it only require sincerity if one is sincere wanting God , without even prayers he will be guided.. here is one of many promises for that " The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, "Allah Almighty says: Whoever comes with a good deed will have the reward of ten like it and even more. Whoever comes with an evil deed will be recompensed for one evil deed like it or he will be forgiven. Whoever draws close to me by the length of a hand, I will draw close to him by the length of an arm. Whoever draws close to me by the length of an arm, I will draw close to him by the length of a fathom. Whoever comes to me walking, I will come to him running. And whoever meets me with enough sins to fill the earth, not associating any idols with me, I will meet him with as much forgiveness as possible. " Muslim 2687

@seek mogol LMAO you were busted and dusted , your statements is like a child who throw tantrums , fool you just repeat your Dumbo Paulian scholars who made you look like a bunch of clowns
@Lilia murah These claims of yours are debunked many times, but of interest: can you give a reference to the fact that Christianity was copied from the religion of Mithra? I mean, you know what was involved in the original worship of Mithra? Because history buffs don't know ... The Romans invented a religion where they worshiped what they called Mithra much after the Christian faith. But as said, if you can show that what belonged to the original faith of Mithra then I would be grateful. It also seems to be quite clear that those Hindu gods have been given the attributes of Christ after Christianity reached India. Strictly speaking, Constantius the Great took baptism from a Gnostic, that is, a person who believes that God and the word of God are different beings. So who manifests as a spirit but has speech, hands and feet and other body parts. And the stories of those Gnostics can also be found in the Qur'an ... The person named Isa in the Qur'an is the same person as the Gnostics Jesus. Well if God is omnipotent, eternal and unlimited, then God can manifest in many places simultaneously and act in them and if God is infinite and omnipotent then each of those manifestations is infinite and omnipotent. And thus one being has three personalities. You can, of course, show me that this can be no different until you show it to me so the trinity is quite natural for an unlimited being. Judaism, Islam and the law. There is no same law in Islam as in Judaism, and no covenant. This is important because if there is no covenant the law is just a habit ... The Qur'an says that when Allah has predetermined who will be saved and who will be destroyed i.e. observance of the law has no meaning. And of course those couple of important things ... Mohammed is not a prophet in Deut. 18:18 because God raised up a prophet from among the tribes that asked for the prophet is Horeb, and Ishmael was not there. And the main reason why Mohammed is a false prophet is simple. Deut. 18:20; in whose NAME Mohammed spoke?
@seek mogol how many of these 37 types of the Qurran ul KAREEM you have seen? Yours is the brain washed claim, better go & check & repent otherwise the Day of Judgement will be too late for you to repent.
You keep delivering, Paul ;) I remember I was shocked the first time I found out that Paul never had met Jesus, and that he had a conflict with the Jerusalem-church, where the brother of Jesus was the leader :)
Paul was the founder of Christianity, those that were with the messiah simply said - we walk the way! They NEVER called themselves Christians IF anything the Christians tried to *label* them as their own and it brought conflicts.
Allah means god and is from the torah. God means god and is from the torah..... Moses is musa....musa is moses...its all just lost in translation dont ya see? Were all the same we all have the same god.it was changed by leaders over time. There is one god for all existence. Period. 🌎✌️
I just love your videos! Muslims highly revere all the prophets including Abraham, Moses and Jesus (peace be upon them all). Your videos should circulate more, especially in the non-Muslim communities.
Paul...i've been listening to you for quite sometime now... islam or christianity apart ....the thing that motivated me the most is ur humble attitude, ur curiosity of knowing the truth and the huge book shelf behind you.... May Allah give us wisdom and learning attitude like you have...muslims are missing it badly...we all should be learnt like u are.... God bless you
Thank you brother Paul for sharing this book and your videos Indeed this IDOLATROUS Pauline christology is the wound of most modern Christians are stuck with Hope they come across the truth Peace
Because most Muslims including so many Muslim clerics dont know anything about Christianity except Christians believe that Jesus was son of God which they give references from Quran and Hadith. To prove Christianity wrong, one must study Christianity in detail which is not an easy topic as there are so many Bible's out there. This brother is doing a great job in educating us about today's Christianity v early Christianity.
Was watching wildlife when this popped up lol..Already watched 4 videos 😂😂 ..Very interesting listening and very educational specially from someone who speaks with open mind...Certainly knows his stuff ❤️..keep it up!!👍 Subscribed and liked. Thank you.
I have never thought about how Paul's teachings caused this schism in the Abrahamic tradition turning Judaism and his Christianity into opposing forces which later led to horrific persecution and genocidal events. It has never occurred to me. Thank you for bringing this to us through your reviews of this great literature.
Every church today, and every extant denomination of Christianity, is Pauline. That's the problem; the doctrine that Yeshua (Isa) lived and taught died when he and his brother James were killed. That's when when Paul's belief system took over.
Brilliant! Please work more on audio quality. Listening your video on full volume, and when it's interuppted by an ad, the ad volume naturally goes unbearably high.. Causes sudden noise problems if listening to at night time. Hope you can look into this. Love your work!
@@BloggingTheology While you're at it (speaking as a photographer), you might consider also having the dominant light above and in front of you (instead of behind your head). Would look much better, especially as it seems this is a long-term series. Small thing compared to your excellent scholarship, though. Cheers
Excellent unbiased, enlightened, scholarly presentation sir. Your the voice of reason crying out in the wilderness of muddled theology and dogma. More power, long live, Godbless. 👍✌️💪
What good work, I mean which James: The Apostle James Zebedee, The Apostle James son of Alphaeus, James the "brother" of Jesus Matthew 12:46-50; Matthew 13:55; Mark 3:21 etc, James whose mother is Mary Matthew 27:56; Mark 15:40; Mark 16:1 etc, James, the "brother" of Jesus Acts 12:17; Acts 15:13; Acts 21:18; 1 Corinthians 15:5-7 etc or James, the father of the Apostle Jude Acts 1:13?
Al Sha"bi said: "Isa bin Maryam (Jesus son of Mary) used to say, 'benevolence (Ihsan) is not that you show benevolence to the one who shows it to you, that is simply repaying him with goodness. But benevolence is that you are benevolent to the one who harmed you." Evidence Al-Zuhd of imam Ahmad page 434, a principal concerning patience and gratitude, translated by shaikh Abu Iyaad.
You have solved your audio problem. No extra hardware needed. Just calibration. James has been such an interesting figure for me. Too bad he did not attain a prominent role in Christianity.
@@setyarahardjanto1215 you can't rely on a tiny brain with regards to religions. In Islam we're encouraged to lower our brains but rise our hearts (faith) when we make sujood while Praying. There are things that mind can't reach. Like heaven, hell or the day of judgement etc etc
At the Council at Jerusalem (in Acts 15), James, Peter, Paul, etc., decided that the Jews were supposed to still be Jews (Jewish Christians) but the Gentile Christians didn't have to become Jews. This was totally in keeping with Jewish thinking -- that Gentiles are only bound to the commandments of the Noachide covenant, while Jews are held to the higher standard of the Mosaic covenant. The list of things they told the Gentile Christians to observe is a version of the Noachide commandments. When Paul told people not to observe the Mosaic covenant, he was talking to Gentile Christians, not to Jewish Christians.
I absolutely agree with your factual conclusions. The simple fact is that what eventually became Islam arose out of a monotheistic Christianity/Judaism that was not anti-Jesus. What we call "hardline Islam" relies upon 9th century and later writings, histories, and dogmas superimposed upon the 7th century. Also, we now know that many Jewish practices go back only to the Hasmoneans of the 2d Century BCE. If we changed our focus from ritual, dispensed with false histories, and freed ourselves from 4th century dogmas and creeds, the 3 "religions" could gradually coalesce around loving our Creator, and treating His creation with appropriate love.
Hi Paul, thank you for these precious remainders that support the Islamic truth about Jesus peace be upon him. there have been debates and lessons through centuries about these subjects from apostles and academic people, however God makes it clearer in the Quran which is not a book written and revised by scholars or apostles who for some reasons may add or withdraw verses, but it's simply from God the almighty who is the truth itself. Thanks again and all my best wishes for you and those who seek for the truth.
Great video. The basics are as follows: If the Christians today realised that Muslims loves Issa Massih (Jesus the Messiah) more than ever they can immagine (As All Messengers and Prophet of God, peace be upon them), and consider his early followers (Disciples) as the best Muslims in the same level of the Final Messenger Muhammad Companions and students (peace be upon him). And regard Jesus Mother Marry as the top woman out of Allah's creation other than Messengers, because of her God contiousness and Character, they will realise that muslims and Jesus early Disciples are actually the same thing. And it's a perfect start to reconciliation and unity and going to the origin and the roots, to rebuild the relationship away from politics and people who benefit of the divisions of people and spread the hate for their personal agendas.
@mrs. Greta Carbone There's no where it said that upon Jesus Massih will kill all pigs! He will kill one pig as a symbol that he never told anyone to break the law of Moses. (Which is not eating Swine is part of). However my friend ask yourself how many pigs have you killed or eaten their flesh in your time! Why wouldn't you find that disrespectful to Pigs! Hypocrisy is always UGLY my friend. Salam Alaikum, Peace to everyone

Salam Alaikum, what is the consensus by Muslim scholars on whether Jesus had a brother. I agree with everything but the fact that he has a brother because it has never been mentioned in Islam. Could he be a brother in a different sense of the word and not biologically?
A number of years ago, while I was serving as a bishop in a what I would call a fundamental christian church. I have had a personal revelation an early morning about the doctrine of reincarnation. Thus started a long journey of deconstruction of religious christians beliefs. Then I learned that the early christians believe also in reincarnation. Now that makes sense since this belief started in Judaism. Your presentation of this material is very refreshing. Thank you for sharing.
Daniel Confirms: Constantine is the Young Mid. Horn Changing The Law A wonderful 12-sheet booklet that explains how Constantine changed the message of Christ and created a new religion that does not relate to the message of Christ Summary We are talking about the Roman Empire {Fourth Beast} that ruled the Holy Land from the year 63 BC. Until the year 638 AD, the head of the beast had ten horns, then in the middle of the beast's head an emperor would come in the middle of the period from 307 A.D. - 331 A.D. .. and he fights 3 Caesars and removes them .. Constantine is the Roman Emperor who removed three other Caesars .. He is the one who removed Valerius Licinius, Maximinus Daia and removed Maxentius. His corruption of religion will continue for a period of three and a half periods, until the kingdom of God is established and the Holy land is taken from his rule .. Without doubt he is Constantine .. The fourth kingdom is the kingdom of the Romans without a doubt .. All the interpreters of the Bible confirm that .. it has 10 Horns = 10 emperors "They came before Constantine" .. they fight the monotheists and kill them and displace them .. A new Horn appears in the middle. Constantine appeared in the middle of the period of the Romans' Ruling the Holy Land .. This Horn changes the law and the feasts and speaks to God with great bad words .. This matter lasts for 350 years, then the Son of Man comes to remove the abomination of desolation that Daniel and Christ spoke about from the Holy Land .. Titus destroyed the God's House and burned it {Titus from the Roman Empire}. After the destruction of the God's House the abomination of desolation .. By establishing a House for the pagan gods on it then They made it a ruin in which women dumped menstrual waste ... and this is what Omar ibn al-Khattab found in 638 A.D. upon the conquest of Jerusalem. He cleaned the place and rebuilt Allah's House ia601502.us.archive.org/19/items/e_20210109/E%D8%AF%D8%A7%D9%86%D9%8A%D8%A7%D9%84%20%D9%8A%D8%A4%D9%83%D8%AF%20%D9%82%D8%B3%D8%B7%D9%86%D8%B7%D9%8A%D9%86.png Link: ia601406.us.archive.org/3/items/daniel-confirms/Daniel%20Confirms.pdf
Hi Paul, Hope all is well. How do you read books? What's your approach to reading a book? Do you inspect the book first (systematic skimming, and then giving it a read without stopping ), and then re -read analytically? Not sure if you read it - how to read a book by Mortimer J Adler. Just want to know how you are approaching books, especially if they are challenging or long, do you re read them?
I recently completed this book. It is all Mr. Paul (I know his last name is not Paul but that is the way we address people informally in the southern states) says it is. Very easy to read. It does take a slightly overly-optimistic view of the possible future relations of the 3 Abrahamic religions.
Very interesting book. Thanks for sharing. The religion prevaling in Europe is a roman empire religion a melting pot of paganism as Mithraism and some Jesus pbuh teachings.
Let us thank Allah for showing us the right path.May Allah help Paul to continue bringing out the truth. It is heartening to know that the belief of earliest disciples of Jesus is in conformity with Islamic faith. Now it is time for Christians and Jews to contemplate seriously and mend their ways if they look for salvation.
you have been changing the game with all this information. Truth is i was very narrow minded on other religions and only started to look into other religions of what they are after watching some of David Woods videos in which i could not help but get the feeling that hew was only out to slander muslims even if it ment distorting the truth.And now i rather to not watch his videos as he seems so shallow. But I have taken to learn more about Islam as it has actually been providing clarity to many of the questions about the Bible that i had
You might want to check EFDawah, SCDawah & Hamzasden channels with their live streams where they have fair & reasonable discussions with Christians & atheists. You'll gain a lot.
@mrs. Greta Carbone I recommend FARID RESPONDS. Easily been exposing CP lies. CP is no different than Ergun Caner, both are pathological liars paid $$$ by the churches & the likes of you. The only different is CP actually speak basic Arabic while Ergun makes up his own Arabic (search for: Ergun Caner Fake Arabic Exposed uploaded by Mokhan247, pure comedy albeit pathetic lol).
@mrs. Greta Carbone Allah in Arabic & Aramaic, Eloh in Hebrew are the same word coming from the same roots, built by the same letters _Alef, Lamem & He_ is a term to refer to the singular The One & Only True God who has sent all the prophets including Abraham pbuh, Moses pbuh, Jesus pbuh & Mohammed pbuh as His servants.
@mrs. Greta Carbone Its _la ilaha illallah_ meaning there is none worthy of worship but only Allah. And Allah, as all the Prophets including Jesus peace be upon them all understood & taught is a very monotheistic singular God. As stated in The Commandments, Shema Yisrael and many verses of bibles. And indeed Jesus himself taught all his believers to worship & serve only Allah. This mean Allah is one & only.
Yes, rabbi Tovia Singer also admires the monotheism of islam, & comdems the Pauline-Roman-Pagan cult of now, stating also that the early, proper followers of jesus never preached trinity, but the monotheism of the Law..
Great clip. Thanks for posting. I will read the book. My only quibble is with the characterisation of Jesus as the Davidic Messiah. Jesus had no father and lineage is counted through the father’s side. From the Quran we know his mother was of the clan of Aaron (Sura Mariam), which would make her a Levite. David was of the tribe of Judah.
In Matthew 5:19 Issa (pboh) made o prophecy refering to Paul's name to warn people: Therefore anyone who sets aside one of the least of these commands and teaches others accordingly will be called least (small) in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever practices and teaches these commands will be called great in the kingdom of heaven. If you look for the meaning of the name Paul you will find that it means small (least).
Following thoughts came up in my mind and so I decided to share: #1: I began wondering if prevailing of Jewish Christianity would have prevented colonisation too. I just do not have enough evidence to say anything clear about it, all I know is that colonisation happened at the hands of the predominantly Christian countries, and that it generated racism towards the white people and towards european christians, a good amount of which you have faced first-hand. Among the signs of evils of colonisation for the colonised is the proud display of Algerian skulls in French museum, and that subcontinent people on average consider themselves as inferior to european down to even supporting an entire industry dedicated to help them look whiter and more european. #2: I do not think 'fundamentalist Muslims' who do not believe in interfaith dialogues are honest with Islam. Quran in Chapter 3 commands calling the people of the Book to common terms, and Muhammad exemplied obeying this command by having the verse issuing this command written verbatim as part of the letter sent to Heraclius whose Roman Empire was upon Pauline Christianity. Funny enough, religious leaders of these 'hard-cores' sometimes give me the feels of either Pharisees, where one is more concerned that people are not keeping cloth above ankle during prayer, or of the christian priests where one is more concerned about love of Muhammad than love of His Creator 😅 they even say stuff like 'Muhammad is the light that God created everything with'. Final point: I used to believe Quran called Christians Nasara to avoid endorsing divinifiers of Jesus to be his followers as the term Christian naturally implies but now I think that Quran when talking about Nasara really dealt with a sect (Nasorene) so that we too go down in detail when dealing with any Christian sect while we have the general 'people of the Book' for representing all christians and jews as well as 'children of israel' to refer to all sects of judaism when reading about them in Quran. A side note: If I were speaking in a platform of just Muslims, I would always write Allah's Messenger sallallahu aleyhi wa sallam or Allah's Messenger SAAWS rather than Muhammad, but I think in an interfaith platform it is wiser to mention his name which already means 'the continuously praised one' and to salutate him in heart every time I mention his name. If anything, this is among the lessons I have learnt from Jesus Christ, to follow the law with wisdom.
So colonization, the problem was not about religion it was about expanding and making themselves much stronger nations. So religion is not the predominantly reason.
@mrs. Greta Carbone Out of respect I'll call you Big Sister. Dear Big Sister, as a Gentile who does not belong to the House of Israel, role of Jesus as the Messiah is more applicable to me than the role of Messenger that he had for the Children of Israel, so I call him al-Maseeh. GOD Did not Choose Muhammad as the Messiah, but Chose him as HIS Messenger (and a lot more that is not only out of context but also impractical to enlist every time I mention him), so I call him Messenger. It all boils down to respecting GOD's Supreme Authority in Choosing where only HE is responsible for the Choices HE Makes, the Choices I have learnt from the scriptures of Abrahamic religions. I am using a similar principle to call you Big Sister, because GOD Chose you to precede me in getting married (assuming from Mrs.) and so I assume you are older than me and I want to follow up the assumption by calling you Big Sister out of respect.
@@therockstandard3068 You are right. In fact I would say it was not the reason at all for colonisation. Thank you for bringing the point up! I hope it makes my position clearer now, that I want to say that perhaps Jewish Chrisitianity would have prevented colonisation (to be specific, its evils) as the adherence to the Laws such as 'Love thy neighbour' would have perhaps abhorred the act of presenting human skulls for proud display in museums for example.
I never have had an issue with your sound or video. The point is to learn not to look coo. Ngl, kinda looks cool low quality this video. Reminds me of old days.
Excellent information! Can you comment on the name of Jesus and how his followers pronounced it. The Romans wrote it as "IESVS" so, how can this name best be produced?
There is very good web site on that subject (created by yours truly long time ago, ha ha) which you may find interesting (may need to scroll down): controversialislam.wordpress.com/jesus-real-name/
