00:00:00.000 How old are you guys?
00:00:26.000 We're 18.
00:00:27.000 You're still young, yeah?
00:00:28.000 We're very young.
00:00:29.000 Salvation is a big thing, yeah?
00:00:31.000 If I gave you guys a bottle of water with a drop of poison, would you drink it?
00:00:34.000 You wouldn't, yeah?
00:00:35.000 So you would not do the same with your salvation.
00:00:37.000 So what we'll say is, okay, you don't want to accept Islam, 1.00
00:00:39.000 but if you're looking for true salvation and the truth,
00:00:41.000 you shouldn't say, hey, the Qur'an, no way.
00:00:44.000 Because that's not being true to yourself.
00:00:46.000 I'm a reverse Islam, yeah? 0.95
00:00:48.000 I said to myself, whatever is the truth, I'll accept it.
00:00:50.000 I don't care whatever it comes from.
00:00:52.000 If it's the truth, it's the truth, yeah?
00:00:54.000 So one advice I'll give you as a brother in humanity
00:00:56.000 is give the Qur'an a chance.
00:00:58.000 Can we agree on that?
00:00:59.000 At least just read it.
00:01:00.000 Can we agree?
00:01:01.000 Can we agree that you're gonna...
00:01:02.000 Look, you're free to God, yeah?
00:01:03.000 If you guys read the Book of Mormon, sure, I'll read it.
00:01:05.000 Yeah, I'll read it.
00:01:06.000 Yes, deal.
00:01:07.000 We do that.
00:01:08.000 We did that, don't worry.
00:01:09.000 We did that already.
00:01:10.000 No, no, we did it.
00:01:11.000 No, no, I don't mind if you want me to.
00:01:12.000 No problem.
00:01:13.000 I'll just go through it.
00:01:14.000 Just read it.
00:01:15.000 But what I'm saying to you is,
00:01:16.000 if you're looking for the truth, yeah?
00:01:17.000 If the truth is in the Qur'an, would you accept it?
00:01:19.000 That's what you find.
00:01:20.000 Yeah.
00:01:21.000 If the truth is found.
00:01:22.000 If the truth is found.
00:01:23.000 If I find it in the Qur'an, maybe I would.
00:01:25.000 Why maybe?
00:01:26.000 Why do you say maybe?
00:01:27.000 Because we are...
00:01:28.000 We believe in it.
00:01:29.000 We already believe in it.
00:01:30.000 No, no, no, no.
00:01:31.000 I'm saying if the ultimate truth is in the Qur'an, would you accept it?
00:01:34.000 Yes.
00:01:35.000 But we believe that we have all.
00:01:36.000 We have the rest of God.
00:01:37.000 No, no, no.
00:01:38.000 You believe that.
00:01:39.000 You believe that without looking into the Qur'an.
00:01:40.000 We have testimony.
00:01:41.000 We believe that the church will join to.
00:01:43.000 There's a church here on this wall.
00:01:45.000 No, no, no.
00:01:46.000 Testimony by you.
00:01:47.000 I don't know.
00:01:48.000 This is my testimony.
00:01:49.000 No, no, but that's subjective.
00:01:50.000 If I said to you,
00:01:51.000 Islam changed my life. 1.00
00:01:52.000 Islam means... 0.92
00:01:53.000 I believe in it.
00:01:54.000 It's subjective.
00:01:55.000 If I went to read the Qur'an and I would find truth,
00:01:57.000 and I would then feel like it's more true than the truth I am with now,
00:02:01.000 then logically I would most likely...
00:02:03.000 Okay.
00:02:04.000 What do you define as truth?
00:02:05.000 Some people are emotional.
00:02:06.000 Some people say,
00:02:07.000 when I open the Qur'an,
00:02:08.000 I want to see this light popping out of nowhere.
00:02:10.000 No.
00:02:11.000 If you're looking for the truth,
00:02:12.000 you need to understand,
00:02:13.000 if a scripture is seen by God,
00:02:14.000 but it should have no errors,
00:02:16.000 no contradictions,
00:02:17.000 no change,
00:02:18.000 can we accept this?
00:02:19.000 Yes.
00:02:20.000 Okay.
00:02:21.000 If any scripture has contradictions and errors
00:02:22.000 and changes in it,
00:02:23.000 can that be the word of God?
00:02:24.000 If I show you contradictions and errors in the Book of Mormon,
00:02:27.000 would you still accept the word of God?
00:02:28.000 Yes.
00:02:29.000 You think the Book of Mormon is the most perfect thing.
00:02:31.000 Okay, okay.
00:02:32.000 If I show you one right now,
00:02:33.000 would you denounce it?
00:02:36.000 I would not denounce it.
00:02:37.000 Thank you.
00:02:38.000 I just want to be very clear.
00:02:39.000 I said to him,
00:02:40.000 the Book of God,
00:02:41.000 and they have errors in it,
00:02:42.000 you said, no, it wouldn't.
00:02:43.000 It's good.
00:02:44.000 I said, if I show you one in the Book of Mormon,
00:02:46.000 you said to me,
00:02:47.000 even if you show me it,
00:02:48.000 I will reject it.
00:02:49.000 What that means to me,
00:02:50.000 no disrespect,
00:02:51.000 is you're saying,
00:02:52.000 I don't want to know.
00:02:53.000 So I want to speak to you guys,
00:02:54.000 no disrespect.
00:02:55.000 Because if you came and said to me,
00:02:56.000 if I show you a error in the Quran,
00:02:59.000 would you reject it?
00:03:00.000 I would say to you,
00:03:01.000 look, I'm telling you,
00:03:02.000 show me a single error in the Quran,
00:03:04.000 I will leave it.
00:03:05.000 One, one, one.
00:03:06.000 As simple as that.
00:03:07.000 One, one, one.
00:03:08.000 I'm telling you one.
00:03:09.000 You know why?
00:03:10.000 Because I'm sincere.
00:03:11.000 Because I'm looking for the truth.
00:03:12.000 If the truth is what the moment is,
00:03:13.000 then I'm up for it.
00:03:14.000 I said to you that.
00:03:15.000 You said to me,
00:03:16.000 you know what that means?
00:03:17.000 That means even when I show you the truth,
00:03:18.000 you're saying,
00:03:19.000 I don't want to know.
00:03:20.000 Is that being fair?
00:03:21.000 It's your salvation on the line guys.
00:03:22.000 It's not a joke.
00:03:23.000 It's your salvation on the line.
00:03:24.000 As much as you don't want me to go hell,
00:03:25.000 I don't want you to go hell.
00:03:26.000 So if your salvation is on the line,
00:03:28.000 if I show you a single error in the Book of Mormon-
00:03:29.000 It's never before to heaven anyway, isn't it?
00:03:31.000 No, no, no.
00:03:32.000 If I show you the Book of Mormon,
00:03:33.000 in the Book of Mormon,
00:03:34.000 in the Book of Mormon,
00:03:35.000 if I show you one single error,
00:03:36.000 would you leave it?
00:03:37.000 Well, not one.
00:03:38.000 I'll give you plenty.
00:03:39.000 Yes.
00:03:44.000 Okay, so the same goes with you, my brother.
00:03:49.000 These are things that are going to be
00:03:50.000 under the Judgment Testament to you guys.
00:03:52.000 If you ask me the same question,
00:03:54.000 I would say, show me one, not five.
00:03:56.000 We're a very small population.
00:03:59.000 That shows, you know what that means?
00:04:01.000 A book that's from God should have no errors.
00:04:03.000 God doesn't make mistakes.
00:04:05.000 If a book is claiming to be divine,
00:04:07.000 and you're finding errors,
00:04:08.000 and this doesn't adapt,
00:04:09.000 this doesn't make sense,
00:04:10.000 this has been changed,
00:04:11.000 this has been added in,
00:04:12.000 you have to question it.
00:04:13.000 I'm not here to win an argument.
00:04:14.000 I'm not here to...
00:04:15.000 By the way, I'm not here to win an argument.
00:04:16.000 We've got to take off.
00:04:17.000 Are you guys...
00:04:18.000 We've got to take off.
00:04:19.000 But one thing that I'll give it to you guys,
00:04:20.000 if you believe in God,
00:04:21.000 you pray to God and say,
00:04:22.000 God, whatever is the truth,
00:04:23.000 lead me to that.
00:04:24.000 Okay, thank you.
00:04:25.000 Appreciate it.
00:04:26.000 Thank you guys.
00:04:27.000 All right.
00:04:28.000 Thank you very much.
00:04:29.000 Take care of your friends.
00:04:30.000 Take care.
00:04:31.000 Take care.
