Dr Jay Smith about Islam's claim about the Quran.

Dr Jay Smith about Islam's claim that the Qur'an text was orally memorized since 7th century - "this is absolute sheer fantacy!" 

[when one opens the video, you find a summarized text version of the whole video underneath] 

Many Muslims humiliate, slander and hate him, but they can't contradict his knowledge and facts about the Quran and it's history based on experience and thorough research over many years. https://youtu.be/Yu9Nf2_EI4o

WHO IS DR JAY SMITH?

 WHO IS DR JAY SMITH?

He is a missionary to the Muslim world. One of the most experienced and skilled Christian Apologist about Islam from recent history. 

Known for Apologetics, Polemics, Historical Critique of Islam and Christianity. 

Smith was born in India in 1953 from missionary parents. He has earned an M.A. in Islamics from the Fuller Theological Seminary, and a PhD in apologetics and Polemics from the Melbourne School of Theology.

Focus on Islam.

In 1981, while studying for his masters, Smith attended a seminar on Islam and noting that there were only 1,500 Christians ministering to Muslims worldwide, he decided to become a missionary to the Muslim world and pursued a second master's degree in Islamic studies from Fuller Theological Seminary.

In 1987, Smith moved to Senegal as a missionary and in 1992, he moved to London where he continued his education at the School of Oriental and African Studies and the London School of Theology.

In 2001, he halted his education to concentrate on apologetics following the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001.

In 2010, Smith resumed work on his Ph.D at the Melbourne School of Theology which he completed in March of 2017. He helped run the Hyde Park Christian Fellowship, which emphasises the use of Polemics with Muslims alongside Apologetics, and has made appearances at Speakers Corner in Hyde Park, London for over 24 years. 

Smith also engages in formal public debates with prominent Muslim apologists and scholars including Omar Bakri Muhammad, Azzam Tamimi, Shabir Ally, Anjem Choudary, Abdur Raheem Green and Edip YĆ¼ksel.

Smith believes that although both Islam and Christianity include radicals, moderates, and liberals, it is radical Muslims that commit violence as they take the Qur’an seriously, while radical Christians who also take the Bible seriously serve others in love. He claims that radical Muslims model their lives on Muhammad, while radical Christians model their lives on Jesus Christ. Smith believes the growth in radical Islam in Britain is due to disaffected Muslims, often minimally religious, returning to their Islamic roots. He says that after reading the Islamic scriptures, (the Qur'an in conjunction with the hadith, tafsir, and sira), they come to the conclusion that the Salafi/Athari understanding is the true form of Islam. Smith also believes that although Western actions in the Islamic world can instigate Muslim discontent, it is the Islamic scriptures that encourage the violence. He also rues the fact that moderate Muslims are not able to challenge the radicals using scripture because he believes the radicals have the scriptural authority. Smith believes that ultimately Muslims and others will realize that the Muslim scriptures, coupled with the example of their prophet Muhammad, are irrelevant to modern times.

Smith's polemical approach has been praised by the Salafi Omar Bakri Muhammad who states:

I feel very comfortable with Jay (Smith, the apologist) – with him what you see is what you get. He is no hypocrite, and neither are Salafis. His words and actions match his heart. He does not pretend by saying soft words about Islam. The Qu’ran calls for debate… Most U.S. evangelicals refuse to debate Muslims, unlike the courage of Jay, who boldly cries "Jesus is Lord!"

Korreksie by "Homoseksualiteit en die Bybel"-epos

Net twee regstellings op die vorige epos met die titel: Homoseksualiteit en die Bybel.

Die Korrekte Tema van die Konferensie was: DIE BYBEL EN SEKSUALITEIT.

Verder was die skakel by sessie 2 foutief (dit was foutiewelik dieselfde as sessie 1).

Die korrekte skakel vir Dr Johan van Schalkwyk se sessie (Seksualiteit in die O.T.) is https://youtu.be/6a8yCLn7GSc

Jammer, verskoning vir enige ongerief.
