California Debates

I have had some discussions with some people about the value of debates in inviting people to faith. Debates could be a lot like sports matches. I believe that debates are only useful for the small percentage of any audience who can hear beyond the art of speech and who attend carrying an academic mentality towards religion (as all Muslims should be since Islam focuses on logic throughout the Quran… we can debate that too).

I like the way that the second debate started and I would like to reiterate it here:

“Christians wake up; no body is dying for your sins. You will be accounted for every single deed that you make or will make.”

These 2 debates took place in California between Jalal Abu Al Rub, David Wood and James White.

The topics a are as follows (you can download the audio by clicking at the titles)

1. Is Muhammed (pbuh) a Prophet?

2. Does the bible teach that Jesus (pbuh) is God?

تأملات 1

أتأمل الحياة فأجدها داكنة و أتأملها تارة أخرى فأجدها براقة و بين مد و جزر يكمن سر الحياة الحقيقي و جوهرها المكنون. ففي سني حياتي القليلة أيقنت أن مثل الزمان كمثل غيمة تتابع الإنسان في مشوار عمره فإذا نظر خلفه لا يجد الزمن مقاسا بل ثابتا كالصورة و إذا نظر أمامه لا يرى ما بعد شيئا و كأن الزمن لا يقاس إلا في اللحظة نفسها و لا يكون موجودا في لحظات أخر

و في هذا كله دلالة على أن الزمان ليس المقصود لذاته و أن العمر ليس هو معيار و مقياس الحياة
