Transcript
00:00and it is in your own interest seek God's guidance to the truth read the
00:05bible I recommend to any christian I'm not here
00:08as a muslim and unlike some atheists who use
00:12who are very critical of the bible or of christians
00:15we muslims are not we we bring you to the
00:19denominate the common denominators between us
00:22and a common denominator between us is that in the bible jesus is a prophet
00:26and in the quran jesus is a prophet so this is one
00:31what we're talking about today but there are many other things so we bring you
00:34to the denominators that's why we share this one but the next problem you have
00:38is the fact that john you you rely on john and all these
00:45verses that you mentioned like before abraham was i am which is today's topic
00:48you mention they're only in journal not in the others
00:52but the problem is that john could not read and write
00:59john was from he was from a small he was from a village maybe you could say
01:06town but a rather village at the time
01:09he was a fisherman illiterate he couldn't read and write
01:14he used to he used to it was from a village called
01:17uh bait saida if i bait saida bait saida
01:22so he was from this village he used to fish
01:25to go fishing in the uh sea of galilee they call it a sea but it's not sea it's a
01:32lake it's landlocked maybe huge it's landlocked and it's
01:36freshwater so it's a lake so he used to go fishing and still there
01:40today and people are still fishing still fishing there
01:44maybe less fish now as with everywhere else but people are still
01:48fishing there today so he was from this small town called bait
01:52saida he was a fisherman he was illiterate
01:55he spoke
01:58aramaic and hebrew the first bible was written greek
02:04330 years to 360 years the codex sanaiticus
02:10so he could not have written it for various reasons first
02:14all the gospels were not written by who whom you suggest because they start with
02:19according to so if someone writes something he wouldn't say according to
02:22so you just open your bible and go to the very top and you would say
02:24the gospel of matthew according to matthew luke
02:28mark john so first reason why he couldn't write it second reason
02:32he was illiterate john third reason
02:37i'm not sure whether the four gospels or some of them that talk about themselves
02:40the the writer talk about himself in the third person
02:44another reason the first bible you have at hand was written
02:48330 to 360 uh years this is in in the fourth century
02:56from 333 and that's the codex sanatux found in the
03:00monastery of saint catherine in the mount sanai in egypt
03:04and that's why i called this sanai or sanaticus or whatever
03:08codex sanaticus
03:11cannot pronounce it i'm neither greek nor
03:15from ancient egypt now
03:18say he was fisherman you even see in the bible i do not
03:22know the the number of the verse but even in the bible jesus tells
03:26when he was looking for his disciples people to preach with him he went
03:31he went and said to them uh john is actually john is the
03:36son of zebedee and saloma his mom i think and his brother james i believe
03:43so they were fishermen and jesus said to them i will teach you how to fish
03:47stop fishing fish i'll teach you how to fish men
03:50that means to preach so he was illiterate but you say oh
03:55maybe i'm i'm saying this one
