Messenger Audio 13 (19-Nov-1982)

(0:01) Ra'a, ra'a, it's also Hebrew, to see, it means to see in some way, (0:12) because when you are watching sheep, you are also seeing, isn't it? (0:16) But that means that I haven't gone deep into this. (0:21) But there are various occasions in the history of Islam, (0:31) wherein the Jews used to make fun of, they would get some Arabic word used by the Muslims, (0:38) and then pronounce it in such a way that it becomes bad, it's the opposite. (0:43) It happens to us, I think, you know, when we speak of another language, and so on. (0:52) It's like, I remember when I was in Indonesia, (0:57) you know, sometimes the Hebrew word, it's not a good word, it's, you know, it's, it's funny. (1:08) And when some Indonesians, you know, sometimes, they cannot pronounce, (1:13) they would say, it's, it's, they would laugh, (1:18) in, this was in Yogyakarta, it means something very, very bad, very, you know. (1:27) But I had no... (1:27) But yeah, that happens. (1:29) That happens. (1:30) Some word has a good meaning in another language, but a bad meaning in another language. (1:34) Especially if not pronounced well, and so on. (1:37) And the idea that this is a holy scripture, you're not supposed to fool around with its, its terms. (1:45) So then exactly what I'm talking about... (1:48) You should go with this. (1:49) I think that was supposed to be in the picture, but she didn't, you know, she didn't use that in her prayer. (1:55) The picture, because it says, but say. (1:59) We probably watch over us. (2:02) So it's more like, you know, when we ask the Lord, (2:05) and say the air just comes in, say we watch over in our prayers. (2:10) That's, that's what you were saying, right? (2:11) Yeah. (2:14) But then, you know, y'all was going off on us to how, (2:17) you know, the... (2:19) I think I was wondering if this was understated or something. (2:23) I also just wanted to know what even, you know, could you use it as a lot of proof? (2:27) Yeah, I think as Kyle said, he was explaining 446, the footnote. (2:32) 4? (2:33) 446. (2:34) There is a footnote in there. (2:36) But right now it sounded like a big reward in the Hebrew language. (2:40) And some Hebrew speakers abuse this relationship. (2:44) So, I think... (2:46) Well, you know, she's saying what I'm saying, and what I'm... (2:49) All I asked was, and I wasn't sure what... (2:52) If I want, when I'm doing my personal prayers, when I'm... (2:55) Do ask. (2:56) Can I use, regardless of concern, instead of using English to express them? (3:03) Oh, that's, that's all right. (3:04) That's all right. (3:05) We watch over you. (3:06) Okay. (3:07) That's all right. (3:08) Because it's here, and so it's not like we need to say, why don't you do that? (3:13) Because we understand the language. (3:20) Well, she's gone. (3:32) We're now in 105. (4:50) We are releasing 105 with 101. (4:55) 101 is referred to the Jews. (5:00) Because the concept, you know, they were always a kind of a... (5:04) The concept of exotic people was very exclusive. (5:09) And they denied the idea that others would also have revelation. (5:14) But then, Quran says, (5:16) God chooses for His mercy whoever He will. (5:20) God possesses unlimited bounty. (5:22) I think this is the... (5:28) And this is explained in some other part. (5:31) That His mercy is so limitless. (5:33) He chooses who He desires to help, and so on. (5:39) 106 is a very delicate verse. (5:43) There's a long history to this. (5:46) Because there have been two groups of people. (5:48) And the enemies of the Quran have interpreted 106 to mean (5:59) that this abrogation is abrogation of Quranic verses. (6:06) Now, I have to be very careful about this. (6:09) This is the theory of... (6:18) That some verses of the Quran abrogate other verses of the Quran. (6:23) Now, this runs against the idea from the Quran (6:31) that the Quran is consistent, contains no crookedness, and so on. (6:37) Now, if we accept that the Quran is consistent, (6:43) then you cannot have a verse that corrects another verse. (6:50) Therefore, the meaning of this would be the following. (6:52) The second, I think, more reliable meaning is that (6:57) the Quran supersedes the former scriptures. (7:04) Whereas there was a prohibition of something like A in the old scriptures, (7:09) Quran says you can have B, for example. (7:17) Like the prohibition of certain foods among the ancient Jews, (7:23) the Quran says forget that. (7:28) The idea of intercourse at night during the month of Ramadan in the old days, (7:35) that was prohibited, and now it is allowed. (7:38) So in that sense, the Quran says verses which supersede former verses, (7:47) or rather, it supersedes verses of former scriptures. (7:50) I think that is something that will be the meaning of one more thing. (7:58) It is not one verse of the Quran correcting another verse, (8:02) but it is a verse of the Quran superseding former scriptures, (8:08) in the sense of prohibition of former scriptures. (8:11) Because the Quran is consistent, it is unique, there is no error in it, and so on. (8:18) There is one who wants to remain a Christian, (8:23) and there is one who has the power of the Bible, I think. (8:30) And there are verses that he wants to keep in the Quran and Bible, (8:39) and if you follow the faith of the Quran and the faith of the Bible, (8:43) I am not sure it is applicable or right for him. (8:48) Are you Muslim? (8:50) Yes. (8:51) No, no, I am Christian. (8:52) Christian? (8:53) Yes, you can consider yourself a Muslim. (8:55) Yes, in that sense. (8:57) But he wants to remain a Christian by following the Bible. (9:04) The answer is in 5.48. (9:05) 5? (9:09) 5.48? (9:23) 5.48? (9:24) 5.48 says, (9:24) Then we reveal to you this scripture, truthfully confirming all previous scriptures, (9:29) and superseding them. (9:31) You shall judge among them according to this scripture, (9:34) and follow not their ideas, instead of the truth that has come to you. (9:38) We have decreed statutes and methods for each of you, (9:42) although, if God willed, He could have made you one congregation. (9:46) So, if this person wants to remain a Christian, (9:49) he is supposed to follow the laws of Christianity. (9:52) If he wants to remain a Jew, he has to follow the laws of the Jews. (9:56) And it is very clear in the Arabic text. (9:58) I know it is not as clear in the English text. (10:00) Yes, it is very clear. (10:01) Yes, it says, (10:03) The point here is, (10:04) We have decreed statutes and methods, (10:07) Methods means a method for prayer, a method for worship, (10:12) a method for dieting, (10:15) But in the case given by Abba, (10:18) if this Christian would now follow the Quranic superseding, (10:25) then he would become Muslim. (10:26) Right. (10:29) But this is what is happening historically. (10:32) Yes. (10:32) This is how millions have become Muslim. (10:35) Let's say that there are many Christians in Iraq. (10:38) There are a lot of them. (10:49) One of them is the ambassador of the Islamic Republic of Iraq. (10:55) Right? (10:57) But, (11:00) for example, (11:02) they don't have to make a hike, right? (11:05) I know. (11:06) I know. (11:07) But if they go and do the hike, what happens? (11:10) They go to Jerusalem. (11:12) They have to make hike to Jerusalem. (11:16) They don't have to do the Friday prayer. (11:18) It's not a religious... (11:24) It's not a religious duty like hike in Islam. (11:32) It used to be. (11:33) It's one of the forgotten, (11:34) one of the forgotten things. (11:37) A practice. (11:39) What's that? (11:44) I think it may... (11:46) You might find some basis if you go back to the Old Testament (11:50) because as the temple was built there, (11:55) everybody from all over the country, (11:58) all the Jews had to go there once a year. (12:01) It was part of the ritual that was established (12:03) in the time of Saddam and others. (12:07) There's a very interesting thing. (12:09) They had the privilege in all the religions. (12:16) When Moses wanted to marry a daughter with this man, (12:23) he said, (12:24) you can marry her, (12:25) the dowry is that you work for me eight privileges. (12:31) Meaning eight years. (12:33) Because pilgrimage happens at a specific time every year. (12:39) But tell them that Christianity is over drinking, right? (12:43) No. (12:44) It's against Christianity. (12:46) No, they misinterpret things from the Bible. (12:49) It's a Hadith. (12:50) It's a Christian Hadith. (12:53) I mean, because there are parables in there about wine, (12:57) but if you look at it, (13:00) you know in the Koran, (13:01) once you read that parable, (13:02) you'll see that it's really talking about the hereafter. (13:05) And they take it literally. (13:08) You know, just like they tell us here that we drink wine in the paradise. (13:13) But the Bible says specifically that wine is no good. (13:15) Yeah. (13:16) But I mean, what they're taking is a parable that's in the New Testament. (13:20) They're taking it literally, (13:21) saying, see here, Jesus said, (13:23) you can drink wine. (13:24) Yeah. (13:26) But it's the, you know, the wine is not the alcoholic wine it is. (13:31) It's a Hadith where the wine is. (13:35) I mean, look at the case of pork. (13:38) The Christians nowadays, (13:40) they don't follow these Mosaic laws (13:45) about not eating pork. (13:48) Like they claim that that would be a particular statement. (13:51) Yeah, they claim. (13:54) The Bible also prohibits pork. (13:56) I mean, the New Testament. (13:58) Oh, I don't know of any verse that prohibits it. (14:02) Well, I mean, it's... (14:03) You know, it just... (14:07) Yeah, but see, you can understand it that way. (14:11) You know, but I mean, it's not stated directly. (14:14) Whereas there is a parenthetical statement (14:16) that says, you know, something that Jesus said. (14:19) I can't remember the precise part of it. (14:22) What goes into the mouth is not what's unclean, (14:25) but what comes out of it is unclean. (14:26) I mean, parenthetical. (14:28) All the Bibles I've seen the statements put in parentheses (14:31) explaining by this statement, (14:33) He made all food commissible. (14:36) I mean, it's in there. (14:37) I mean, you pick up any Bible, (14:39) you know, mostly in parentheses. (14:41) And people take that as a literal part of the Scripture. (14:46) That's a Torah verse. (14:55) I mean, because like, (14:56) if He was going to justify the pigs as commissible, (15:00) why would He destroy some of these private property? (15:02) The pigs belong to somebody. (15:03) They ruined something economically when they were all grown. (15:09) See, that points righteous works. (15:14) What does that mean? (15:16) It's competing righteousness. (15:18) Are you trying to outdo each other? (15:20) The religious groups outdoing each other? (15:22) Well, even within this group, (15:25) it competes in righteousness. (15:28) It's the kind of competition that increases (15:30) the good relations, the affection, (15:34) instead of hatred. (15:50) They always had demands, you know. (16:28) First, when He said He sacrificed a cat, (16:32) He said what kind, what color, this and that. (16:36) And then when they moved to Sinai, (16:37) they said, we don't like men, (16:38) we need onions and lentils and beans. (16:43) They always had demands. (16:52) In fact, they said, make an idol for us, (16:55) make a god for us, like these people have a god. (17:01) So, maybe this is a kind of demand. (17:06) We just, a lesson is for us. (17:27) There's a senator in the Arizona Senate (17:30) that wants to introduce a bill about kitchen creation (17:34) in Arizona schools. (17:38) He was very enthusiastic, (17:39) and he was now running this conference. (17:41) And then I sent him my booklet on creation, (17:45) and that would have physical evidence. (17:47) And after he received that, (17:50) he sent me a thank you note, (17:51) and then that was the last we ever heard of (17:53) his attempt to talk about creation, (17:56) because we don't want non-Christians (17:58) talking about kitchen. (18:01) So, it's like Samson. (18:07) So, he doesn't want his creation (18:11) built to go through, (18:13) because this may, (18:14) let the people know about this now. (18:19) Jim Cooper. (18:22) So, they would rather see us (18:25) go back to the contagions (18:28) than wash the blood alone. (18:56) His father's been one of the people (18:58) washing the blood alone. (19:00) You're not washing the blood, (19:02) you're washing the deeds. (19:03) So, it's a form and a sign. (19:12) Hi. (19:14) I'm sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt you. (19:16) Are you back? (19:17) No, she's the one who's... (19:18) Oh. (19:19) She's explaining. (19:20) She's the one reading. (19:21) Oh, oh, oh. (19:22) Okay, go ahead. (19:24) Thanks. (19:24) That's a lot of help. (20:51) Yeah. (20:52) I'll take over and start. (20:53) I mean, he's 110. (20:57) You want me to take over? (20:58) Yeah. (20:59) So, we'll go to a submission. (21:03) They said, (21:04) no one will enter heaven (21:06) unless he is Jewish or Christian. (21:08) Such is their wishful thinking, (21:10) saying, (21:11) show us the truth, (21:12) if you are right. (21:14) I think we are the lucky generation (21:16) that has entered the new era of religion (21:21) where we have no physical truth. (21:24) And this is what we have from now on. (21:26) We have to apply this principle. (21:30) It's a commandment. (21:31) Say, show us your truth. (21:33) He said, (21:33) if Jesus is God, (21:34) say, what? (21:35) Show me your truth. (21:37) If Jesus is the Son of God, (21:38) what is your truth? (21:39) I have physical truth (21:41) that Jesus is yesterday. (21:50) The true identity of Jesus (21:51) happens to be in Surah 19, (21:53) which is the most... (21:54) has the most powerful code. (21:56) It has five letters (21:59) in front of it. (22:00) You want to go look at Surah 19? (22:01) Look at the beginning of Surah 19. (22:08) See the first verse? (22:10) H206 (22:12) K-H-Y-A-S (22:17) And when you add up these letters (22:19) in this chapter, (22:20) they are divided by 19. (22:22) 798. (22:23) And this is the chapter (22:26) that describes (22:27) the true identity of Jesus, (22:28) who He is. (22:32) And we have, (22:33) inshallah, (22:34) the next book will be based (22:35) on this chapter (22:36) in front of Jesus, (22:37) the truth. (22:39) And it describes Jesus, (22:40) His birth, (22:41) His miracles, (22:42) His life, (22:44) His... (22:44) the crucifixion of His body. (22:47) Because He was not crucified. (22:48) He was not crucified. (22:53) So, in the example of (22:55) your mosque, (22:55) inshallah, (22:56) we have (22:57) a visual presentation (22:58) of the miracle. (23:00) And we're going to have (23:01) a book, (23:02) Quran, (23:02) Hadith, (23:07) the Arabic version (23:08) of visual presentation (23:09) of Jesus Christ (23:09) in Arabic. (23:11) And the Arabic book (23:13) also in Arabic. (23:14) In that, (23:15) the next project (23:16) will be Jesus, (23:17) the truth. (23:18) So I'm going to... (23:19) In that book, (23:21) we will be able to present (23:22) and we will be able (23:23) to show them, (23:24) prove, (23:25) about the identity (23:26) of Jesus. (23:31) So, (23:31) they said no one (23:32) will enter heaven (23:33) unless he is Jewish (23:34) or Christian. (23:35) Like they said (23:36) repeatedly before, (23:37) if you go to any group (23:38) of any religion (23:39) and they tell you (23:40) this is the only group (23:41) that's going to heaven, (23:42) you better leave (23:43) right away (23:44) because it's not (23:44) their fault. (23:46) Because God is not... (23:50) God will not restrict (23:51) his mercy (23:52) to a group of Christians. (23:55) Muslims or Christians (23:56) or Jews, (23:57) Hindu or what. (23:59) God's mercy (23:59) will encompass anyone (24:01) who worships God alone, (24:03) who recognizes God. (24:06) The one who created (24:07) the heavens and the earth. (24:10) Now people say (24:10) I believe in God (24:11) and then their mind (24:12) God is Jesus. (24:14) Then they are wrong (24:16) because Jesus (24:17) did not create (24:17) the heavens and the earth. (24:19) So, (24:20) when they worship (24:20) God alone, (24:22) they have in mind (24:24) the omnipotent, (24:25) omniscient (24:26) creator (24:26) of the universe. (24:28) The one who runs (24:29) every minute detail (24:30) in the universe. (24:31) And that's not (24:32) Jesus or Mary (24:33) or Mohammed (24:33) or anyone. (24:37) So God says here, (24:38) say, (24:39) show us your proof (24:40) if you are right. (24:42) Indeed, (24:43) whoever submits (24:44) to God, (24:45) notice it doesn't say (24:46) any Muslim (24:47) who submits to God. (24:48) It says, (24:48) whoever submits to God, (24:50) he can be a Buddhist (24:52) to all that you know. (24:54) So a Buddhist (24:55) who grew up as a Buddhist (24:56) and then he came (24:57) to a conclusion (24:58) that the only one (24:59) to be worshipped (24:59) is God (25:00) who created this universe. (25:02) That person (25:03) submits to God. (25:06) And he will be (25:07) taken care of. (25:08) God will inspire him (25:09) to make Ruku (25:09) and Sujud (25:10) and Assyrian (25:11) on their own (25:12) by instinct. (25:13) God will teach them (25:15) to make prostrations (25:17) and to be righteous. (25:19) Whoever submits to God (25:21) while leading (25:21) a righteous life, (25:24) they have nothing, (25:25) these have nothing (25:26) to fear (25:26) nor will they grieve. (25:29) And the Jews said, (25:30) the Christians have no basis. (25:32) While the Christians said, (25:33) the Jews have no basis. (25:36) Though both of them (25:37) recite the scriptures, (25:39) those who receive (25:40) no scriptures (25:41) have uttered (25:42) similar utterances. (25:44) God will judge them (25:44) on the day of resurrection (25:45) regarding their disbelief. (25:48) Who is more evil (25:49) than one who forbids (25:50) others from attending (25:51) the mosques of God (25:52) where his name (25:53) is commemorated (25:56) and seeks to have (25:58) them deserted? (26:00) These ought not (26:01) to enter there (26:02) except carefully. (26:04) These have deserved (26:05) humiliation in this life (26:06) and terrible retribution (26:07) in the hereafter. (26:10) Now every time we see (26:11) the word God here, (26:12) we should bear in mind (26:13) that it is God alone. (26:15) If you remember, (26:16) the meaning of the (26:16) quote of St. Vincent (26:17) says, (26:18) those who believe in God. (26:21) And this means (26:22) believing in God alone. (26:25) That he, (26:26) that only he (26:27) is to be worshipped. (26:32) So God belongs (26:33) to the East and the West. (26:34) Now this is the (26:35) hundred and fourteen (26:37) is very important. (26:39) We must (26:41) encourage (26:41) rather than discourage (26:44) attending the mosque. (26:48) There are many commandments (26:49) in the Quran (26:49) that tells us to (26:50) stick together (26:52) because God (26:53) inspires us (26:54) as a group (26:55) through one of us. (26:57) And we learn a lot. (27:02) And the (27:03) hundred and fourteen (27:04) shows that (27:05) who is more (27:06) even than one who (27:07) forbids others (27:08) from attending the mosque. (27:09) That's the maximum (27:11) evenness. (27:18) So this is all (27:18) we do here (27:19) in this mosque. (27:20) We commemorate (27:21) the name of God. (27:24) We study his word. (27:27) And we want to (27:28) follow what God wants. (27:31) So (27:32) who is more (27:33) even than (27:33) forbidding death? (27:37) One hundred and fifteen (27:38) refers to (27:39) Latif. (27:41) One hundred and fifteen (27:42) to one hundred and twenty (27:43) today. (27:55) And they said (27:56) that is the (27:57) God of the sun. (27:59) Glory be to him. (28:00) Nay. (28:01) To him belongs (28:02) everything in the heavens (28:03) and the earth. (28:04) All subservience to him. (28:06) He is the initiator (28:08) of the heavens (28:08) and the earth. (28:09) To him, fifteen (28:10) God, (28:11) he simply says to it (28:12) be (28:13) and it is. (28:16) Those who do not (28:17) be on faith (28:18) said (28:19) if all the gods (28:20) that speak to us (28:21) for a chance (28:22) to follow a miracle (28:23) come to us (28:24) we will then (28:25) believe. (28:27) Others before them (28:28) are (28:28) similar to (28:29) others. (28:31) Their hands (28:32) are all the same. (28:34) We can (28:34) manifest (28:35) the signs (28:35) for those (28:36) who have (28:36) the same (28:37) circumstances. (28:39) We have (28:39) sent to you (28:40) truthfully (28:40) as a bearer (28:42) of good news (28:42) as well as (28:43) a warner. (28:44) If you are (28:45) not (28:45) absent (28:46) of the (28:46) signs (29:16) of (29:18) remember (29:23) the (29:23) blessings (29:23) I (29:24) bestowed (29:24) upon you (29:25) and that (29:26) I (29:26) set you (29:26) apart (29:27) from all (29:27) the people. (29:28) Be aware (29:29) of the (29:29) days (29:29) no one (29:30) forgets (29:31) it (29:31) another. (29:32) No (29:32) rest (29:33) will be (29:33) accepted. (29:35) intercession (29:35) will be (29:46) To me, my understanding is already that God is everywhere, but then when he says, to the (29:51) east and the west, I know that's to the east and west, but then somewhere else to the south. (29:56) It says, I'm the God of the two east and the two west, and that's kind of like, but (30:02) it doesn't make a difference to me in no way because I know he's everywhere. (30:04) It's just that, you know, there's some other people here, but it's nice to have lots of (30:11) people here. (30:12) Two east, there's one interpretation that I like is that the two east is the east of (30:18) the sun and the east of the moon. (30:20) The moon rises, the sun rises, and the moon sets and the sun sets. (30:26) Because in Arabic, sunrise is also called the east. (30:32) The moon rises for the east. (30:39) That's not an acceptable interpretation, I have to say. (30:52) The first time I heard the question. (31:04) That's what he has in his footnotes. (31:06) He explained it. (31:07) That's what the Q is for. (31:10) The sun rises in the weather from one? (31:12) Yeah, from one point. (31:13) Actually, the sun rises from a different point every day. (31:15) Well, he put it all in between all of that. (31:18) I think that's what he was saying. (31:21) There is another verse where it is plural. (31:24) East and west. (31:25) The Lord of the east and the Lord of the west. (31:28) That's what he's saying as far as this. (31:30) Yeah. (31:31) That other verse. (31:33) There are also east and west. (31:37) When you go to the moon, there's airflies. (31:42) Did you take a picture of the airflies yet? (31:45) Yeah. (31:45) I haven't finished the approval. (32:00) Different languages. (32:03) Bye-bye. (32:05) Bye-bye. (32:06) Back to Latif. (32:08) Okay. (32:10) You can give those two girls a part. (32:20) Okay, Latif. (32:31) Verse 116. (32:32) And they say, God help the God of the sun. (32:36) And glory be to him. (32:38) That right there is the greatest lie that was ever told on earth. (32:45) And the least of which is universal. (32:48) And then the Christians or whoever believes in Jesus Christ being the son of God, (32:54) they also say, glory be to him. (32:57) Which is all praise of the Lord over them. (32:59) Which they should be doing to God. (33:01) And right here, God is saying, nay. (33:03) Which is no. (33:04) For him belongs everything in the heavens and the earth. (33:07) And all is of service to him. (33:09) Saying that everything in the heavens and the earth and everything between them belongs to God alone. (33:16) And everything is of service to him. (33:19) And to him alone. (33:20) And if you find anybody else or feel that anything else is part of that, (33:27) then you are out of it. (33:34) And also, you can ask yourself when Christians or different people believe in Jesus Christ being the son of God, (33:42) that they would just ask themselves this simple question that, you know, where was God? (33:48) You know, they all know he was once a baby. (33:51) Who was changing his diaper and feeding him? (33:54) He who made the earth and all that kind of stuff. (33:57) And he was a baby. (33:58) If he was that. (34:15) Right. (34:15) They make him the only begotten son. (34:18) That's a big blasphemy. (34:19) Because the whole Christian doctrine that exists today is just a tremendous blasphemy. (34:26) First of all, they say he had to give his son to our sins. (34:32) Which means he's unable to forgive. (34:35) That's the blasphemy in itself. (34:37) In other words, if God wants to forgive the world, why can't he forgive the world? (34:41) Why does he have to give up his son? (34:44) Second, they show him as a helpless father. (34:48) Any one of us who think he gives us, when somebody touches our son or our children, we... (34:54) Why? (35:04) So they show God as a helpless entity. (35:08) And the whole thing is so blasphemous that, again, at the end of Surah 19, (35:13) I will request you again to go back to that surah, the talks about Mary and Jesus. (35:17) Surah 19 at the end. (35:21) This is the most descriptive version about the sonship of Jesus. (35:28) Under the great blasphemy. (35:30) They said, God most gracious has forgotten his son. (35:34) Indeed, you have uttered a gross blasphemy. (35:37) The heavens are about to shatter, the earth is about to burst, and the mountains are about to crumble (35:43) upon hearing such a claim about God most gracious. (35:47) It is utterly improper that God most gracious should take for himself a son. (35:53) Every single one in the heavens and the earth is no more than a slave of God most gracious. (35:57) He has counted every single one of them. (36:00) And it will come before him as an individual on the Day of Resurrection. (36:03) So you can see how the description of the blasphemy is. (36:09) The mountains are about to crumble, just for uttering a stupid thing like that. (36:20) That's why every time the Quran repeats this, their claim is followed by Subhanallah. (36:26) Subhanallah. (36:32) Subhanallah. (37:06) And all people say that Jesus Christ, His name is Jesus Christ. (37:11) And people say it might be in the religion. (37:14) He may be reborn. (37:16) He can do all kinds of things. (37:18) That's saying that God himself can do it by himself. (37:22) If he needed someone as little as they could take, Jesus Christ, and he took it to their parents. (37:29) You know, he's a little proud man. (37:31) And they make it like he can do all sorts of things. (37:34) Where, you know, they put him on a mountain and allowed him to kill himself. (37:41) They're not giving God any strength. (37:43) Again, they really look at it as, you know, God is all-powerful. (37:47) Which they know that. (37:48) You know, he could say a beast. (37:50) And he did. (37:51) But then, you know, like he did with Jesus. (37:54) You know, he said beast and he was. (37:56) And people overlook all those types of things because they take this life as the only life that they're going to ever have. (38:06) And so everything that they hear, everything they come by, they take it as truth. (38:11) Where it's not. (38:14) And they should realize that this is a time for us to try to get with God and recognize him and submit to him fully. (38:22) Without becoming best friends to the devil. (38:26) Where all these girls are praying to you, they're promising you a delusion. (38:31) And this is not the real life. (38:33) I mean, you know, a lot of people when they come into a belief and want to keep believing in God. (38:38) Like you said, they interpret this with an interpretation. (38:41) Because to me, God is God. (38:44) But to other people, God may be Jesus Christ. (38:46) Or God may be Mary. (38:48) Or God may be their mother or father or their husband. (38:51) Their children, you know. (38:53) They interpret it as different things. (38:55) And so when you come into being with God, you've got to submit totally to him. (39:00) Because you want things to be for you. (39:03) And then you want to take charge in the real life. (39:06) You know? (39:07) So you can't go around believing that Jesus Christ is God. (39:12) And you can't go around believing that he's the product of that. (39:15) Because he has no pride. (39:16) The only pride he has is to come and deliver the message. (39:19) And show people what they can do. (39:21) If they believe and worship God or not. (39:25) And this is what my understanding is. (39:29) And it is. (39:30) Because God doesn't need nobody. (39:32) No one. (39:33) Unless it's only Jesus Christ. (39:35) Even though we all love him and respect him for what he did. (39:38) But he's dead and he's gone. (39:40) And we've got to worry about his life. (39:45) You only need to visualize what will happen at the day of resurrection. (39:48) Where people will actually go to Jesus. (39:51) And tell him, you mean you're not going to save us? (39:55) What are you talking about? (39:57) I need help myself. (40:00) I'm with you. (40:01) We're all in this crowd waiting for God. (40:03) Do you have a question? (40:21) They say that Jesus told her. (40:37) But then. (40:39) The voice too. (40:41) The people, you know, I mean. (40:43) When they hear things like that. (40:45) And they hear things like that. (40:47) You know. (40:48) But you know Jesus Christ. (40:50) The white man. (40:54) And down here. (40:55) I mean. (40:56) And you know that everything. (40:57) The sun, the moon, the stars, the birds. (41:00) Those cow horses. (41:02) All the different kinds of us. (41:04) And then Jesus Christ was the only one who saw him. (41:07) And then his mouth was in the ocean and all that. (41:11) And Jesus Christ couldn't take care of him. (41:14) He couldn't stand up out in the ocean. (41:16) For an hour. (41:17) Or three. (41:19) And he had to come out the next day to see God. (41:22) Where. (41:24) Even if he. (41:26) If he saw God. (41:27) If he was the most perfect creature. (41:30) He's still a creature. (41:31) He's still a man. (41:32) And if he did see God. (41:34) It's only because of God's grace. (41:35) That God allowed him to see him. (41:37) And this doesn't make him any different. (41:38) Than any one of us. (41:41) We must believe that we're all capable of being like him. (41:45) Or better than him. (41:47) We have that capability. (41:51) Yeah. (41:51) But we still. (41:52) I mean. (41:53) We don't want to go away from the truth. (41:55) The fact is that the Quran. (41:57) Doesn't mention any of his sins or any mistakes. (42:00) Or he could have been sinless. (42:02) Or maybe the Quran doesn't even mention any of his sins. (42:04) But he did sin. (42:06) Whether he was sinless. (42:07) Whether he was perfect. (42:08) Whether he saw God. (42:09) Or he didn't see God. (42:11) It all doesn't make any difference. (42:12) The truth is. (42:13) There's only one God. (42:15) One true God. (42:17) And we mustn't think. (42:19) Jesus is dead. (42:20) He's not only perfect as a frail man. (42:22) But he's dead. (42:23) So if you can't. (42:25) Yeah. (42:26) Then you can't help anybody. (42:30) We must forget about anyone else. (42:34) As a helper. (42:35) Muhammad or Jesus or Mary or saints. (42:37) Or anyone. (42:38) We must forget them. (42:40) It's what they want. (42:41) It's what their God wants. (42:43) It's the only way we can be saved. (42:45) And Satan's job is to inject other names. (42:49) Inside God. (42:51) I have a question. (42:57) Yeah. (42:57) I'm a Christian. (42:58) I teach here at UT. (43:00) I'm often in the streets of Christians. (43:03) And. (43:05) When you talk about the spirit of Jesus. (43:07) The main point that they make is that. (43:09) Jesus did resurrect. (43:11) He died for a change. (43:12) He resurrected. (43:13) What is that proof? (43:14) Well. (43:15) Well, they can show you the Bible and say that's the spirit of Jesus. (43:18) You cannot hang your salvation on a story. (43:22) You have to have proof. (43:23) But there's nothing about resurrection of Jesus in the Quran, is there? (43:29) Yes, something was raised. It was raised. It was raised before crucifixion, but... (43:36) There was no resurrection of the body. (43:43) The body was left in the cross and was buried. (43:47) The body doesn't belong to you anymore. Once you leave it, it's like you took off a shirt and threw it away. (43:58) But even that part in the Bible about Him raising up and going and seeing the disciples afterwards, (44:07) the scholars say that's added on to the Scripture. (44:11) Because all the Gospels only go up to the fact that the stone was gone from the grave. (44:19) And then there's only the one that's added on, and some of the Bibles put it, you know, like in heretical, (44:25) because it's, you know, they admit in there, but they don't know that that's part of the concept. (44:31) Not only, this is what can be considered a divine sense of humor, (44:38) because every time they play it in the Bible, there's a scandalous exposure of that play. (44:46) For example, when they played with Abraham's son, who was supposed to be sacrificed, (44:54) they made him Isaac instead of Ishmael. (44:58) But you see the contradiction very clearly in that it says, (45:02) it says, Ishmael was born to Abraham, and 14 years later, Isaac was born to Abraham. (45:08) And then they say, God said to Abraham, take your only son, (45:12) and then they inserted Isaac, and sacrificed him. (45:16) But Isaac was never the only son. (45:19) So it's a very clear mistake. (45:22) And the same thing happened with this resurrection business. (45:25) They said he stayed in the grave how long? (45:28) Three days. (45:30) But when you look, when you read the details, it's really 48 hours. (45:34) Not even that much. (45:35) Not even 48 hours. (45:38) It's about 6 o'clock on Saturday. (45:43) Yeah, okay, but he went down at sunset before this happened, right? (45:49) Right. (45:49) Okay, yeah. (45:50) So 6 o'clock on the Friday night until before 6 o'clock on Sunday morning. (45:56) Which makes it less than 48 hours. (45:58) 18 hours. (46:00) No. (46:01) 24, 30 hours. (46:04) I can't, man. (46:05) Get the calculator. (46:08) Anyway, it's nowhere near the three days that they are making. (46:12) They don't connect these. (46:13) I mean, even now in the 20th century, (46:16) enlightened priests and ministers will stand in the public and say, (46:20) and he stayed in the grave three days and three nights. (46:22) But if you read the Bible, this way now, that's not even two days. (46:27) And this is always the case, because the people who played in the Bible (46:30) were great, great, great grandparents of ours who, (46:35) I'm not insulting you when I say think of your own grandfather, (46:38) you know, and have simple-minded view of all of us. (46:43) Our grandparents were not half as enlightened, (46:45) because in the last 50 years, there was another explosion. (46:49) And we are the beneficiaries. (46:51) We know a lot more than our grandparents, right? (46:54) Let alone your 100th grandfather. (46:58) And they are the ones who played around with the Bible. (47:00) And they were stupid. (47:08) So as it came through, I think more stupid is they, (47:11) now in the new edition of the Bible, they tried to correct these things, (47:15) because it's really scandalous. (47:18) The edition I have in my office of the new printing of the Bible, (47:21) it says, just take your only son. (47:24) It says, take your only one. (47:27) So they're trying to get around it, but it doesn't make much sense. (47:38) Well, they make up all kinds of reasons. (47:42) But it doesn't hold water. (47:44) Every time I got into a debate with a priest, (47:48) one of the big sharp priests in St. Luke, (47:51) and he said, Ishmael was the son of a slave.
