In the Bible in Exodus 3 and 4 we have the story of Moses and the burning bush. God appears in it before him and identifies himself as the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. He also tells Moses that he has seen the oppression of his people in Egypt and will deliver them into the land of the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites.

Philippians 2 and the Muslims
by
I’ve got a tactic for dialogue with Muslims. Muslims don’t think much of St. Paul. He’s the one who screwed up the teachings of Christ supposedly. We can work with that based on a lot of things that I’ve been writing about recently.
Muslims Must Believe in the Entire Bible
by
The Christian and Islamic Scriptures which the Quran tells Muslims to believe in
How much of the Bible does the Quran confirm? I used to say quite a bit but I’ve since modified my answer. My answer is now all of it. There is no verse in the entire Quran that says that the Bible is corrupt, not one. We have Surah 2:79 but this doesn’t refer to all people as Surah 3:199 shows. Now, let’s start off with the Torah and the Gospel.
Emperor Constantine XI vs. Sultan Mehmed II
by
Constantine XI
Today is the anniversary of the Fall of Constantinople. On May 29, 1453 Ottoman Janissaries breached the Theodosian walls and killed everyone in their path. Emperor Constantine XI cast off his purple cloak and made a last stand with his remaining soldiers. He was killed in the melee.
Second Interview with Sam Shamoun
by
Back in July I had an interview with Sam Shamoun on introductory topics regarding Islamic apologetics. One was the Bible and the Quran and the other one was Trinity and Tawheed. I recently had Shamoun on again to talk about a more advanced topic. We discussed the role of St. Paul in Islam.
The Apostle James Forgot About Tawheed and Mutah
by
We know that modern Islamic apologetics is stuck with blaming St. Paul for the rise of Christianity. The death, resurrection, deity, and other anti-Islamic Christian doctrines are present in the writings of the apostle Paul. The 12 apostles, John the Baptist and the blessed Virgin cannot be blamed for these doctrines because they’re described as Muslims in the Quran. Hence, Paul is the Christian fall guy.
Tovia Singer, Matthew, and Zechariah
by
Above is a video by Jewish apologist Rabbi Tovia Singer. He points out a supposed error in the New Testament. Now, I don’t want to pick on Rabbi Singer but he’s not the only one who likes to bring this up. Muslims and liberal NT “scholars” like to point this out.
Adam, Iblis, and the Cross
by
One feature of both the Quran and the Bible is that they narrate certain things multiple times. This is good for historical study because we can look at certain events from multiple angles and learn more about it. A good example is Mark 8: 27 – 33 and Matthew 16: 13 – 23. Both narrate the same event but Matthew gives more details.
Allah Loves the Bible
by
We keep hearing from our Muslim friends that the Bible is corrupt. I’ve got an exercise for anyone reading this post. Read the first three Surahs of the Quran. Surah 1 will take you about 15 seconds to read but 2 and 3 will take a while. Each time you see the previous scriptures referenced, record the verse mentioned and write positive, neutral, or negative beside it depending on how it talks about the previous scriptures.
Adnan Rashid is in Damage Control Mode
by
Adnan Rashid and David Wood have been in a war on YouTube and Rashid is losing. He seems like a nice guy but he just can’t deliver the substance that David Wood and Sam Shamoun can. Wood and Shamoun clearly know the Christian and Muslim sources better than Rashid. Rashid has been making short little videos, twenty minutes tops while David and Sam are doing responses that are 2-3 hours and it has certainly been devastating.
