Apologist Vocab Malone recently had a livestream with Jeff Kran. They were dealing with genealogical objections from Jewish apologists. I don’t want to comment on that but I do want to talk about one thing that they brought up at the beginning.

Polygamy in the Bible and in Islam
by
A cake fit for a Mutah marriage
I was once on an Islamic apologetics website and the Muslim who ran the website said that polygamy was allowed in the OT and Jesus never prohibited it in the NT. I was tempted to leave it alone thinking that he would simply ignore the clear evidence that I presented but I stubbornly decided to present my case. I went on to quote Matthew 19:5, where our Lord Jesus Christ quoted Genesis 2:24. He says:
Confessions of an Arabian Man-God

In recent weeks and months, several apologists have been producing a lot of material showing that the god of Islam is not a spirit like the God of the Bible, but a very anthropomorphic man-god with actual physical body parts. These apologists are David Wood, Sam Shamoun, Anthony Rogers, and Vocab Malone. In my opinion they’ve done a very good job in bringing this to light. I wonder what Deedat would have said about this if he were alive.

It’s been an interesting year with this website. I’ve got to meet quite a few new people in both the apologetics community and Catholic community in general. The Lord has truly blessed me. Before this year, I was only moderately familiar with the Quran. Having read it multiple times this year, I’ve gained a lot of knowledge.
Surah 2:62 vs. Surah 3:85

The Next Quran translation I’ll be reading
In the Bible we have multiple authors. For example, we have a different author for each Gospel narrative. We have different authors for the historical and prophetic books of the Old Testament as well. Sometimes when something seems to be contradictory, usually the author is just trying to emphasize something where another author is not. The problem is solved for us.
The Rabbis vs the Prophets

Aaron – The High Priest of the Old Testament Religion of the Mosaic Covenant
Many people wonder why I deal with Judaism as much as I do. For one, they’re not in Christ, but also because Muslims very uncritically use their apologetics. I’ve seen many Muslims share videos from Tovia Singer and Michael Skobac without realizing the implications of quoting these people. I therefore have to deal with them, specifically their apologetics.
Mohammed Hijab and Bankrupt Apologetics

When Mohammed Hijab had his debate with David Wood, he mentioned something interesting. He mentioned in his first rebuttal that in the New International Version, the I AM statements aren’t I AM but “I will be”. This is news to me. I own several copies of the NIV and I don’t find that. I only find I am.
St. Clement of Rome Believed Scripture Was Inspired by God

But the Paraclete, the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things, and bring all things to your mind, whatsoever I shall have said to you.
– John 14:26
But when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will teach you all truth. For he shall not speak of himself; but what things soever he shall hear, he shall speak; and the things that are to come, he shall shew you.
– John 16:13
From these two statements we can see that our Lord is telling the disciples that the Holy Spirit will teach them the truth. What exactly would the Holy Ghost give the Church? St. Paul gives us a hint in his second epistle to Timothy.
How Early is the Muhammadim Argument?

Anyone who has been following this website knows about my favorite argument that Muslims use in favor or Muhammad. I’m of course talking about Song of Solomon 5:16. This is the argument that states that there is a possible phonetic parallel between a Hebrew word and with Muhammad’s name. The context of Song of Solomon has absolutely nothing to do with this but let’s look beyond that for a moment.
The Russian Option

As many of my readers know, I was in the Ukraine in August. I’m involved a lot with the Eastern European community in my city. Two Sundays ago I went to a going away party for the local Russian Orthodox priest. He’s moving back home to be with his parents. I’m not Orthodox but I’ve learned a lot from this man.
