00:00So that is one possibility. But let's now discuss something important about, because if you take a
00:08verse out of context, well, if you take a verse, it's difficult in this instance even to say you
00:14take something out of context. If you take something that makes sense in English and you remove it from
00:18the context, then we can say, oh, you've taken something out of context and you want it to mean,
00:23but here the problem is more severe. Even if you take it out of context, it still does not mean,
00:27as we have explained in English. It doesn't mean anything, neither to do with the context nor
00:34linguistically. It does not mean what you're trying to convey with it, you know. So if we take
00:40the whole chapter, and I selected a few verses, if you take, for instance, verse John 8, 28.
00:51In John 8, 28, it states, so John speaking, so you believe John in 8, 58 meant that Jesus is
01:00God,
01:00as all Christians claim, John, before Abraham was, I am, means is God. But you check the same chapter.
01:07This is where you need to open your Bibles and read. 8, 28, it states, Jesus speaks himself. As I've
01:15read
01:16the Red Letter Bible, and I recommend, give an order to all Christians to read the Red Letter Bible,
01:23so you know exactly what Jesus said, himself said. So in John 8, 58, Jesus, peace be upon him,
01:29himself speaks, and he states, I am the Son of Man. You've heard correctly, the Son of Man, not Son
01:36of God.
01:37And he states, I can do nothing of myself, my own self. Of my own self, I can do nothing.
01:44This is in
01:45John 8, 58. Whatever I hear from my Father, I'll tell you. I'll just say to you what I hear
01:50from my
01:51Father. So in verse 8, 28, Jesus be upon him, makes three statements. One, I am the Son of Man.
02:02Son of Man,
02:03not Son of God, not God. So this is what John is saying in the same chapter. Take good note.
02:09Mark it, Malcolm.
02:10So, and he's saying, I am the Son of Man. I can do nothing of my own self. Can you
02:16imagine a God who
02:17cannot do anything? I said, I cannot do anything, nothing. I can do nothing of my own self. God cannot
02:24do anything at all. And the third thing in the same verse, he's saying, whatever I hear from God,
02:29I say, that's what all prophets from Adam and to Prophet Muhammad, please be upon them all. Our
02:36Prophet Muhammad told us, sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, told us that there were 124,000 prophets.
02:43So this, whatever God revealed to them via the angel Gabriel, whom our Christian brothers and sisters
02:53also regard as divine, for the Muslims, is just the angel Gabriel, we also call him the Holy Ghost,
03:03in the Quran it is stated. So, whatever God reveals to them via, they tell people, and Jesus is telling
03:13you, 8.58, I am the Son of Man, I can do nothing of myself, whatever I hear from God,
03:18you have a
03:18perfect definition of a prophet, a really perfect definition of a prophet in John 8.28.
03:268.
03:269.
