Relatable with Allie Beth Stuckey - Ep 1389 ｜ Ex-Muslim Exposes Islam’s Disturbing View of Marriage and Children ｜ Eternal Bread of Life

00:00:00.000 According to, you know, Sharia law, you can marry a child.

00:00:03.480 There are definitely countries where the minimum age is nine based on Muhammad's marriage. 0.89

00:00:08.140 To me, it just shows that it's not a religion from God. 0.98

00:00:10.820 It contrasts so much from Christianity. 1.00

00:00:14.380 Islam really seems to be driven by man's carnal desire for sex and domination. 0.98

00:00:20.340 I don't know if you think that's an unfair description, 0.99

00:00:22.940 but when you're talking, I'm like,

00:00:24.360 it seems like that's what it comes down to in a lot of ways.

00:00:30.000 eternal bread of life. Thank you so much for taking the time to join us. I've been following

00:00:43.160 you on Instagram, seeing your videos for quite a while, and I can't wait to talk to you. And I want

00:00:48.880 to start with your testimony. What was it like growing up as a Muslim? What was your daily life

00:00:56.140 like? What were your thoughts like when it came to God and religion? Yeah. So I come from a Muslim

00:01:03.920 family, a Sunni Muslim family. So Sunni Islam is the biggest sect of Islam. 90% of them are,

00:01:11.960 90% of Muslims are Sunni. And so my mom, she was religious when I was little. She's the one who

00:01:20.020 taught me the first two chapters of the Quran. I remember when I was five before bed,

00:01:26.140 we would recite it every night. And that's how I memorized it. My dad, he was more like Muslim by

00:01:33.880 name. So he was one of those Muslims who would avoid pork, but he didn't always pray five times

00:01:41.000 a day. He was mostly like Muslim during Ramadan. So most of my religious teachings and upbringing

00:01:49.140 stemmed from my mom. And then as I got older, around 10 or 11, I was put in Sunday school at

00:01:59.740 a mosque. So my mosque had Sunday schools, which was basically Islamic studies classes and Arabic

00:02:07.220 lessons so that you could be able to read the Quran because you need to know how to read

00:02:14.080 Arabic into in order to read the actual Quran because the the Quran if it's not in Arabic

00:02:19.720 it's not considered the real Quran so that's those are kind of what my um the classes consisted of

00:02:25.840 um like as well as the history of Islam and um like the you know life of the prophet

00:02:31.000 and my so all my close friends they were Muslim uh well majority of them were Muslim

00:02:37.820 my extended family were all like super devout Muslim so while my my parents were a little

00:02:43.960 bit more chill my extended family who I looked up to a lot um they were all like they would go to

00:02:49.920 Mecca every two to three years for Umrah they um whenever one of my cousins would finish the Quran

00:02:55.680 they would have like a huge celebration with like food care uh food catering and so um yeah they

00:03:03.980 were very like it was they were like very type a put together um and you know so I felt like they

00:03:12.540 were kind of an inspiration to me. Now around this time when I was in Sunday school, my mom

00:03:18.020 actually ends up leaving Islam. So I was around 10 or 11. So she left Islam before me and she

00:03:26.080 became an atheist and she's been an atheist ever since. And so this was hard for me because like I

00:03:32.460 said, everyone around me was Muslim. And then I also like naturally I've always, you know, had a

00:03:41.540 love for God and I've always believed in God so you know with all of that it was it was you know

00:03:50.420 kind of difficult to navigate that especially since like my dad wasn't really super religious so

00:03:55.100 um and I'm an only child so it was just like the three of us in the household and so I'm like the

00:04:02.180 only one kind of holding on to my faith in God um feeling like you know I look up to these other

00:04:10.460 like these people in my life who were religious and so I continued to ask my parents to keep me

00:04:16.900 in the Islamic studies classes then I would also be put in Quran lessons so that's where like I

00:04:23.980 would have a teacher come to my house every day or not every day but every week and they would

00:04:30.480 read the Quran with me so basically what it was is you're reading the Quran in Arabic and they're

00:04:37.000 making sure that you're pronouncing it right you're reading it right um but they're not telling

00:04:41.560 you what it means like because I don't speak Arabic and my my family's from Pakistan so that's

00:04:47.420 not our native language so um yeah at no point was I ever really told what I was reading but you know

00:04:54.180 you're taught that if you read the Quran in Arabic that's how you get good deeds and so I and my goal

00:05:00.920 was to you know finish the entire Quran because like I said my friends and my cousins when they

00:05:06.040 would finish the entire Quran, they would have a huge celebration. And so that's kind of what my

00:05:11.560 like earliest years as a Muslim looked like, you know, not as strict as I to interject,

00:05:20.220 but can I ask why your mom decided to leave Islam? Yeah. So at the time I wasn't really sure.

00:05:28.560 All I knew is that she had been doing more research and she had been reading more books

00:05:34.280 and i would see certain books around the house like i remember one that sticks out to me the

00:05:39.480 title was called infidel but i wasn't really sure of her reasonings all she said was that she came

00:05:45.260 to the conclusion that all religions are man-made then um now that i i've left islam myself and i've

00:05:51.420 become a christian and i've like talked to her about these things um i have found out more that

00:05:58.020 it's because of the moral issues that come with Muhammad and his marriage to Aisha and the things

00:06:04.520 that he did, the way that he treated women, the way that, you know, Islam spread. So I think it 1.00

00:06:11.420 was really the moral issues that did it for her as well. And yeah, that's what I would say.

00:06:18.460 Yeah, that book Infidel, I'm sure it's the one by Ayaan Hirsi Ali, and that came out in 2006.

00:06:25.820 So that seems to be around the time.

00:06:28.760 And back then, Ayaan Hirsi Ali also was not really, I think, a believer in anything, but had left Islam and talked about the oppression of Islam.

00:06:37.380 So you saying that she was reading that book and that probably influenced a lot of what she believed paired with your dad not being a super ardent Muslim, all of that kind of makes sense.

00:06:49.520 But then you feel like, OK, well, the rug has been pulled out from under me. 0.93

00:06:53.920 I want to believe in this. I still, you know, want to believe in this community that I have

00:06:59.800 and this power that's bigger than me, that my studies mean something. And you are of what age

00:07:05.640 at this time? You said really young, right? Like 10 or 11, 10 or 11, but old enough to really,

00:07:13.620 that's kind of when we all start grappling with some bigger, more existential questions. 0.58

00:07:17.780 So you're going through the Quran, you're trying to finish it for that big celebration. And your parents are generally supportive of this. It sounds like at this point, they're kind of like, okay, whatever you want to do. So as you continue on that journey, what happens? Do you become a super passionate Muslim and evangelist for Islam?

00:07:40.960 yeah so um i continued to try and be as good of a muslim as i could be um i never was like one of

00:07:50.920 those people who you know tried to bring people to islam like or give dawah as they say but i you

00:07:57.460 know tried to adhere to the five daily prayers i continued to go to islamic studies classes i

00:08:02.800 continued to you know study the religion um but it did get harder as i got older you know navigating

00:08:10.600 middle school and then high school and then not being held accountable like not having anyone to

00:08:17.000 hold you accountable to pray on time like all the five daily prayers so you know naturally i did

00:08:24.760 kind of start to drift away from praying um and then you know as i as i got older certain things

00:08:31.800 started making less sense to me like why do i have to pray at um very specific times a day in a

00:08:37.380 language that I don't even speak nor do I understand and it's very ritualistic as well

00:08:43.580 like you're repeating the same movements over and over you're saying the same words over and over

00:08:49.060 it felt very mechanical and then not only that sometimes I would be worried if I missed a

00:08:56.000 certain step if my prayer was no longer valid and it would just kind of like get me out of like

00:09:02.360 you know that connection with god like all of that together the fact that i don't know what i'm saying

00:09:08.460 um that it's so mechanical and you know the the fear of making any mistakes because if you do

00:09:17.020 miss a step or you you know you know do something wrong then it's not valid um all that made me just

00:09:25.380 feel like far away from god it made me feel not good enough um there's also like the concept of

00:09:30.980 wudu where right before you pray um you have to uh purify yourself so like you wash the right hand

00:09:37.640 three times and the left hand three times and you know you go into like rinse your mouth three times

00:09:42.480 and then like your nose and then you you know you do all the steps and then you end with uh

00:09:47.060 washing your feet so if you miss if you um miss a step of that your prayer is not valid

00:09:53.880 if you like do something to invalidate your wudu like let's say like you pass gas

00:09:59.700 then you have to do it all over again or else you can't pray like it's just like so ritualistic

00:10:06.080 it just felt like so many barriers it didn't feel like a natural connection or relationship with god

00:10:12.660 um it felt like i'm just going through the motions so that was the first thing that kind of

00:10:18.260 started to like shake my faith in a way like um when i started to really think about those things

00:10:26.240 and then i started coming across certain hadiths so i did come across the aisha hadith where you

00:10:33.580 know she said that she was six years old when she married muhammad and she was nine when the

00:10:38.940 marriage was consummated for just and for just those who don't know a hadith is what a story a

00:10:45.660 passage a verse from the quran uh yeah a hadith is actually it's it's separate from the quran

00:10:52.620 it's a collection of narrations from the prophet so the quran is like the verbatim speech of allah

00:10:59.220 is what they believe like the verbatim speech of god and then the hadiths are everything that

00:11:03.800 the prophet uh said to do the things he did himself um so yeah okay quick pause to tell

00:12:39.120 learned about Aisha. So up to that point, even though you'd be going to Sunday school and you're

00:12:43.000 learning the Quran and Arabic and all of that, you didn't really know about this part of Muhammad's

00:12:48.320 origin story. Yeah. So it hadn't, I don't remember how I came across it. It might've been on the

00:12:56.780 internet. Um, but I, after I came across it, I decided to, you know, there was a, um, Imam,

00:13:04.560 his name is Omar Suleiman. And I remember I, he had made a video where he was explaining her age

00:13:12.820 and he said that back then women matured faster because it's a warmer environment it's a different

00:13:19.960 time period and under higher stress women mature faster so this is so you know since I was 13 and

00:13:27.900 he was like an educated imam I was like okay if he's saying that and he's saying there's no issue

00:13:33.480 with it and you know he's saying it publicly with this much confidence I'm gonna I'm gonna believe

00:13:39.180 that and so I did I do have different thoughts on that now and I don't think that that is the truth

00:13:44.180 now with what I've learned but that was a that was another thing that was like okay then um

00:13:50.060 there were just more hadiths so there was another hadith that states whoever removes the hair on

00:13:56.440 their eyebrows like if women remove their hair from their eyebrows um their Muhammad curses them

00:14:02.940 so you know I and then at that point when I heard about that hadith I was probably like 16 0.50

00:14:07.860 So I was getting my eyebrows threaded. And so then this made me feel like really guilty. And it also just made me feel like frustrated and, you know, sort of like resentful because I'm like, why would God care so much to the point that we're cursed for doing that? It just feels like, you know, it just feels like too rigid, you know? 0.92

00:14:29.060 And like, they always, you're always told like, oh, Allah, he wants religion to be easy for you. Like, you know, religion is supposed to be easy, but it never felt easy. It felt like, you know, because I had also, you know, being in high school, I, you know, had different relationships or I was into, you know, different guys and they weren't Muslim.

00:14:52.000 But like, according to the Koran, if you're if you're a guy, if you're a Muslim guy, you can marry Christian women and Jewish women. 0.64

00:15:01.060 But if you're a woman, you can only marry Muslim men. 0.82

00:15:06.380 So if I had, you know, fallen in love with someone who wasn't Muslim, I would know like in the back of my mind, I'd be like, well, I would be sinning. 1.00

00:15:16.020 My marriage wouldn't be valid if if I were to marry them and they weren't Muslim. 0.91

00:15:21.220 and marriage is considered like half of your deen like meaning when you get married you're 0.98

00:15:26.200 fulfilling like half of your religion basically it's like a huge thing so then that so then if I

00:15:32.760 marry someone who's outside of Islam like if I happen to fall in love with someone who's not 0.93

00:15:37.140 Muslim and I marry them then the marriage is not valid and I'm not fulfilling like a huge part of

00:15:44.620 my religion so all this it just it felt like you know restrictive and were you wearing a hijab at

00:15:54.300 this point no um i never ended up wearing the hijab i did consider it when i was in middle

00:16:00.780 school but i never ended up going through with it but um yeah yeah probably you know had something

00:16:10.000 to do with the fact that it wasn't anything that your parents were enforcing. So you felt like you

00:16:16.560 were trying to abide by Islam as much as possible. You really cared about this, the theology of it,

00:16:21.900 but it's also sounds like at the same time, you weren't fully sold. You weren't wearing a hijab.

00:16:28.120 You already had some questions. It felt a little bit too legalistic without having 1.00

00:16:34.220 a good reasoning for some of the rules. And so at what point did you say, you know what,

00:16:41.440 I just don't think I can do this anymore? Yeah. So I would say after I graduated high

00:16:48.600 school and went to college, it was like right around that time. And that's when I

00:16:53.680 went into new age spirituality. So I basically considered myself no longer Muslim, but I always

00:17:04.040 I felt like, you know, there could be some truth to it. And that if I was ever going to go to back 0.99

00:17:08.940 to an Abrahamic religion, it would be Islam. And I remember thinking, you know, like when I'm more 0.98

00:17:14.760 stable in life, then maybe I'll go back. But yeah, I, I fell into like new age spirituality. So

00:17:23.860 I was really into astrology. I believed in like past lives, reincarnation,

00:17:29.700 um chakra balancing meditation mindfulness um psychic readings tarot cards um all of that

00:17:38.940 stuff and i and i did find a lot of peace in it um because you know there is a concept of like

00:17:45.060 trying to find your higher self um you know doing shadow work to like heal the the parts of yourself

00:17:51.840 that are like more broken or that need work so it was like you know you're going to be a better

00:17:58.300 person you're trying to grow you know manifestation was also like a big thing and so I did find a lot

00:18:06.420 of peace in it and it made a lot of sense to me like reincarnation at the time it felt logical in

00:18:12.000 a way and so I you know I remember like there were periods where I was like maybe you know I can

00:18:24.580 reconcile some of the new age beliefs with Islam like I remember thinking because astrology was

00:18:29.940 probably like my favorite thing that I was into and like doing the whole birth chart reading and

00:18:34.320 everything and um you know like horoscope and all that and I was like well maybe it's like

00:18:42.020 you know God created the planets and like there is some truth into astrology so you know but

00:18:51.440 ultimately, were you reading any particular books on this subject? Were they just kind of friends

00:18:58.080 influencing you? How did you kind of go down that witchcraft new age rabbit hole? 0.92

00:19:05.000 Yes, it was mostly influencers online, you know, people who seemed very well versed in that kind

00:19:14.300 of stuff, who like taught that kind of stuff. There weren't really, I didn't really find any

00:19:20.380 books on it per se, but yeah, it was mostly just like guidance from other influencers.

00:19:26.280 Okay. Gotcha. And, um, tell me a little bit more about when you first heard about Christianity.

00:19:34.280 I'm sure that you had heard about it before, but obviously it hadn't been something that was

00:19:40.200 appealing to you until you started to think about it differently. So tell us about that.

00:19:45.400 yeah so i had heard of christianity growing up um you know i went to a school in the u.s

00:19:53.820 predominantly like white school with a lot of christians um when i was in middle school actually

00:19:59.680 one of my best friends was a devout christian and he um shared the gospel with me and he actually

00:20:08.740 really wanted me to you know become a christian um and i was still a muslim at this point

00:20:14.640 and so I remember he would have a bible study he like created a bible study after school he

00:20:20.560 invited me to that there were there was one time where he actually you know it was like on the last

00:20:26.200 day of school he him and the his other friends who would come they laid hands on me and they

00:20:31.240 prayed for me to become a Christian and but I I just always because I had been taught like

00:20:37.720 the bible was corrupted the Quran is the the final revelation it's the word of God

00:20:42.920 I never took it seriously I never considered it so then after that um you know I like 0.96

00:20:49.740 coexisted with Christians I had a lot of Christian friends but because of the fact that I had been

00:20:55.920 taught these things about the Bible and you know also like they they basically drill it into you

00:21:02.000 that Allah has no son Jesus was just a prophet when somebody's telling you like oh um you know

00:21:08.940 jesus loves you jesus is is god and he's the son of god like you already you already have those

00:21:14.900 guards up in your mind as a muslim so you just like immediately dismiss it and then it's like 0.96

00:21:18.740 nobody at the time um really knew anything about the quran and how to like uh debunk the quran

00:21:28.420 or you know a lot of christians don't even know enough about the bible to even really explain

00:21:33.260 certain things about uh christianity or the trinity so it's i think it can be really hard

00:21:39.820 for a lot of christians to reach muslims and i think nobody was really able to reach me

00:21:44.060 so what so then when i was in new age the people that i was following that i was that i mentioned

00:21:50.840 i noticed one by one they started to encounter jesus like in visions or they they had

00:21:58.960 supernatural experiences and then they immediately denounced all the new age practice

00:22:04.520 and they became a christian and so this like it started to happen more and more and i would see

00:22:13.680 on my youtube on my uh like youtube home page um new age to christianity testimony

00:22:20.580 and i i never like at that time i wasn't consuming any religious content like i was consuming new

00:22:26.920 content but I found it like just very weird that you know so many kept popping up and I remember

00:22:32.820 pressing not interested um at some point because like it was kind of making me uncomfortable

00:22:37.660 because like I said I thought if I was ever going to go back to an Abrahamic religion it would be

00:22:43.440 Islam so I wasn't understanding why like why is it Christianity why why is everybody seeing Jesus

00:22:51.520 Cause I'm like, okay, if all these people are having encounters with Jesus, then, you 0.85

00:22:57.640 know, Christianity is true, but then I have to figure out was the Bible really corrupted. 0.72

00:23:02.260 And so I kind of just avoided it until I would say I was like, uh, I was 20, 23 or 24. 0.93

00:23:12.420 Finally, my favorite new age, um, creator, one of my favorite new age creators, she ends

00:23:18.960 up becoming a Christian.

00:23:20.360 She had her own experiences with Jesus. She was on like some meditation retreat with Joe Dispenza and Jesus came to her when she was in a meditation.

00:23:31.960 This happened to her like three different times. And he said, open your heart to me. And then she had, you know, experiences after that, like crazy experiences after that.

00:23:40.560 So then after hearing her testimony, I was like, okay, I will give Christianity a chance.

00:23:46.580 And that's kind of when I started to like be more open to it, but it still took some

00:23:53.700 time after that.

00:23:59.800 All right.

00:24:00.520 If you have not gotten your supplements from We Heart Nutrition yet, what are you doing?

00:24:04.420 You're still getting those supplements from companies that claim to care about your health,

00:24:09.820 but then when you look at the ingredients, you see that all of the nutrients come in

00:24:13.360 synthetic forms that your body can't actually absorb. You don't want to do that. You're wasting

00:24:43.600 kind of crazy because obviously I'm older than in pregnancies past. It's my fourth pregnancy.

00:24:48.120 And so they say that you feel worse over time. But I really think that because of WeHeart

00:25:16.340 code Allie. You say that you wanted to give Christianity a chance. What did that mean?

00:25:26.700 Going to church, talking to Christian friends, reading your Bible. What was it?

00:25:30.480 yeah so my plan was to go to um like basically go to different churches so I was actually at

00:25:39.940 that time coincidentally I was moving to a new area where there were it was like in the south

00:25:46.140 so there were more churches around and it's like a more Christian environment because where I was

00:25:51.540 from there were Christians but it was also a very diverse area so um and it was also like a very

00:25:57.640 liberal area so there's like a lot of atheists a lot of uh you know other religious groups so then

00:26:04.660 I was going to go to an area where there's like a lot like way more churches so I was like okay

00:26:09.280 this is a good opportunity to go to church and explore Christianity but then um it did take a

00:26:15.920 year after that because with the move and the new environment and the new life changes I did

00:26:21.840 fall into like a depression. So I, you know, like didn't, um, go to churches. I would like,

00:26:30.060 didn't really want to leave the house. And then, um, but eventually after I, you know, moved past

00:26:37.080 that, I did end up going to Bible studies and I did end up going to churches. And this was maybe

00:26:43.280 like, um, six to nine months after I had moved. And so I, at first I really liked the Christian 0.93

00:26:51.380 environment I loved how loving everyone is like it was very different from the Muslim environments

00:26:56.560 that I came up the most that I came from like the Muslim communities there was a lot of judgment

00:27:01.460 in the Muslim communities I remember I once got like a super long text from my aunt when

00:27:08.420 because she was saying that you know she's afraid I'm going to go down the wrong path because

00:27:12.880 I was in a relationship and I guess she didn't really like the way I was dressing and you know

00:27:18.600 she knew my mom was an atheist. And she told me that there was a wedding, there was a family

00:27:23.160 wedding that I had not been able to attend. And she said that everybody at that wedding was talking

00:27:28.820 about how there was a picture of me wearing shorts. And so I felt, you know, I just felt

00:27:33.700 that kind of judgment. And then same with like, at the mosque, there's, it's like they look down

00:27:39.460 on you and they, they basically view themselves as better than you. So what I enjoyed about the

00:27:45.120 christian environment was you know they it was like genuine love not you know that judgment but

00:27:53.120 still like it wasn't really clicking because i didn't really understand i think looking back i

00:27:59.580 didn't really understand um the theology enough and so it wasn't really making sense um i i didn't

00:28:07.400 really know what it meant when people said like oh jesus died for your sins i never knew what that

00:28:12.800 meant like what does it mean to like die for your sins um i was like that sounds nice and it sounds

00:28:17.700 nice that he like laid his life down for us because he loves us but i don't know what that means

00:28:21.180 and that's because i didn't know about the whole um sacrificial system you know the um blood

00:28:27.900 atonement system in the old testament that's literally the whole foundation of the of the 0.89

00:28:33.160 forgiveness of sins in the old testament because the quran you know completely removes all of that 1.00

00:28:38.380 so you're not taught that as a muslim you're not given that context so at first it wasn't really 1.00

00:28:42.280 making sense but then I um I went to a farmer's market one day and there was um there was a booth

00:28:51.560 for an orthodox church and I'm I consider myself non-denominational but you know they were dressed

00:28:58.040 in like um the attire like the priest was dressed in like the whole attire and I was like okay that

00:29:03.160 looks interesting so I was like I'll go and like I'll see what what it's all about so then I go

00:29:08.560 there I pick up a pamphlet and um I go back to my car and I'm reading it and the way that they

00:29:15.520 are describing heaven and hell it it really resonates with me so basically heaven is being

00:29:22.960 with God you know it's like the presence of God and then hell is separation from God because God is

00:29:29.000 is um ultimate goodness so when you're separated from him it's going to feel like torture it's

00:29:35.280 going to feel like hell and i was like that makes a lot of sense to me and honestly that's kind of

00:29:40.180 like when i was into new age and like i i still believed in like a creator i did believe that

00:29:47.400 you know god there was a you know the universe of the creator was the ultimate source of goodness

00:29:52.320 so i was like okay you know what this makes sense i like this and then you know concept of theosis

00:29:57.780 which um other denominations of christianity would call to say would call sanctification

00:30:03.880 which is basically you know trying to become more christ-like or more um god-like you know

00:30:09.920 trying to have like as in have more godly characteristics like the fruits of the spirit

00:30:15.320 basically and so that resonated with me because coming from new age where it's like you're trying

00:30:20.520 to find your higher self i was like okay that makes a lot of sense to me so then i was like

00:30:27.300 okay you know what i then i was like you know what i'll sit down and i will read the bible for

00:30:33.440 myself I had gone to some bible studies but um I had never really sat down and read the gospels

00:30:39.780 for myself so I started with the gospel of John I read it I was very surprised because

00:30:46.560 Jesus was making it very clear that he is the son of God and that he was that he is divine like as

00:30:52.840 Muslims were taught that Christians are taking these verses out of context and so you know that's 0.90

00:30:59.840 what i had always thought like i never read the gospel so i thought like christians were just

00:31:04.300 misinterpreting certain things he said i like to say that he was god but he never really said that

00:31:08.720 but i was like when you're reading it like you're reading him say that like he is the bread of life

00:31:13.340 for example or you know um he he gives eternal life and that he is the bread that came down

00:31:19.800 from heaven you read certain things and it's like a mere prophet wouldn't say that he wouldn't

00:31:24.200 say that the only way to the father is through him, that, you know, you need him for salvation.

00:31:30.540 So I was like, okay, he is saying he's divine. So then the next step is to figure out was the

00:31:37.740 Bible actually corrupted? Like I was taught, that's like the biggest talking point when it

00:31:42.360 comes to Christianity that you're told about Islam. So, um, I was like, if the Bible was

00:31:49.280 corrupted then it had to have been corrupted like so severely to the point where the entire

00:31:54.740 new testament was changed because the whole like the whole gospel is surrounded around jesus and 0.79

00:32:03.340 his sonship and his divinity and his sacrifice all of which the quran denies so if it was really

00:32:12.060 corrupted to say these things then it's at that point it's corrupted to entirely different book

00:32:16.640 so it didn't take me that much research to realize and to learn that not only was the bible not

00:32:24.000 corrupted but it's actually more well preserved than most ancient texts like if you were to look

00:32:29.620 up which i've tried this if you were to google which ancient text has the best preservation

00:32:35.140 what will come up is the new testament or the dead sea scrolls which contains

00:32:40.000 the Torah which is like the in the Old Testament so I was like okay wow so it there's no there's

00:32:50.160 really no evidence of corruption it has more manuscripts it has the New Testament has over

00:32:57.440 25,000 manuscripts if you if you accept Homer's Iliad if you accept that the Homer's Iliad we

00:33:04.700 have today is the same as the original, then you should have no doubt in the New Testament

00:33:09.280 that we have today that it's the same as the original. So then after I learned that,

00:33:13.880 I was very surprised and I was like, you know what? That's it. I decided that I was ready to

00:33:22.220 give my life to Christ after that because the New Testament is based on, not only is it talking

00:33:28.220 about how Jesus is divine, but it's also based on eyewitness testimonies from his closest

00:33:32.880 companions people walked with him lived lived with him you know witnessed his miracles witnessed

00:33:38.880 his crucifixion and then saw him after he rose from the dead and John talks about how Thomas

00:33:45.140 like at first he doubted and he was like I will not believe that Jesus had risen from the dead

00:33:51.320 until I see him for myself and I see the wounds in his hands and I put my fingers in the wound

00:33:56.800 in his side so then jesus does appear to him and he's like you know touch my hands like the nails

00:34:03.260 in my head the nail wounds in my hands like feel my side and then thomas says my lord and my god

00:34:08.700 to jesus so i say all that to say that hit there were people there were real eyewitness accounts

00:34:16.200 from his closest companions that yes jesus did rise we did see jesus risen from the dead we did

00:34:22.600 see him do all these things we did hear him say these things about himself and so you know and

00:34:28.220 they 11 out of the 12 of his apostles let themselves be killed for preaching about him

00:34:35.660 nobody would let themselves be killed for a lie so that all that after i had realized all of that

00:34:42.660 i decided i was ready to give my life for correct to christ

00:34:47.440 next sponsor is good ranchers y'all good ranchers saves you so much time so much money so much

00:35:47.360 so then i made my first prayer to jesus which i had always afraid to do as a muslim uh and and

00:35:57.220 even like that during that year where i was exploring christianity i was like i don't know

00:36:02.200 if i will ever feel comfortable praying to jesus i might just focus on like praying to the father

00:36:07.240 um but at this point i i actually made my first prayer to jesus and i was like you know i i give

00:36:14.400 my life to you. And I just want you to use me as a vessel to carry out your will. And then after

00:36:20.320 that, I started to, you know, revisit Islam. And then I also started to come across new information

00:36:29.400 about Islam that I didn't know before. And the way it happened was like, I wasn't even looking 0.71

00:36:36.260 for it. I just was coming across it. And then I had the strong conviction to start making videos

00:36:42.100 and to post about what I was learning because it was kind of filling me with like this sort of anger

00:36:48.820 because I'm like you know these a lot of these things are hidden they're not talked about in

00:36:53.560 the Muslim community and I and I know I knew for a fact that a lot of Muslims did not know these

00:36:58.080 things and so I was like you know a lot of people are being deceived and when I had went back to

00:37:05.300 read the Quran and read about you know what it says about Jesus and his crucifixion reading how

00:37:12.020 it says Jesus wasn't actually crucified it was just made to appear so with no other explanation

00:37:18.360 behind it it just felt like made up like how do you expect me to believe that when we have all

00:37:23.760 these Christian you know uh eyewitnesses non-Christian sources that say that he was

00:37:30.380 crucified but yet all you're gonna tell me like God is writing this book and all all God like all

00:37:36.180 Allah is gonna tell me so oh I just made it appear so and you're not gonna give any other

00:37:39.640 explanation at that point I was like this just sounds ridiculous I was like seeing everything 0.97

00:37:45.380 in like a new lens and so that like I was filled with this like sort of anger I guess and I felt

00:37:53.960 like this strong desire to start posting videos about what I was learning and before this I had

00:37:58.980 never like made content like that I never thought I was ever going to make content like that

00:38:03.040 like speaking in videos making videos like that but I was like I don't really care I don't care

00:38:08.920 how i look in this video i don't care who's gonna see it i'm just gonna i want more muslims to know

00:38:13.800 about this and i want them to know the truth about the bible the truth about jesus because 0.76

00:38:17.620 lying about all this all these things it's contradicting history it's contradicting a 0.64

00:38:23.020 book that actually was never corrupted to begin with so i feel like i i want i just want muslims

00:38:29.340 to know these things and so i made the i started making the content and right away the videos

00:38:34.680 started to blow up which i what you know was not expecting but i do believe that it was the holy

00:38:41.320 spirit who put it on my heart to start talking about these things who also introduced me to

00:38:46.720 these things because like i said i started coming across this information about islam

00:38:50.120 without even searching for it um and so yeah and i and i believe you know it was god who

00:38:57.640 you know spread my videos um to more people and a lot of muslims have reached out to me and told

00:39:03.820 me that, you know, they have left Islam. They have become Christian from my content. And so,

00:39:10.400 yeah, it's, it's very amazing. And it's like, I've never expected it, but that's pretty much

00:39:15.320 how, how it happened. Wow. I want to go through just some of them, the topics that you have

00:39:21.620 tackled that you've kind of debunked. You mentioned one earlier about Aisha. She was

00:39:29.400 married to Muhammad when she was six, but apparently she was not, it was not consummated

00:39:35.740 until she was nine. Now you say that it was taught that, well, she was, she had different hormones or

00:39:44.160 she matured faster and so she looked like a full grown woman at nine years old. Therefore it's not

00:39:52.220 pedophilia what did you find out about that what is the real truth yeah so first of all when we

00:40:01.300 actually look at scientific studies and we look at you know the um civilizations from like

00:40:07.760 all the way to like you know 1400 bc you know 500 bc and and all these areas with warmer climates

00:40:16.480 which Muslims say caused Aisha to mature faster, they actually matured slower and they started 0.73

00:40:25.420 menstruating later. The average age of menstruation among that time in that region was like 14 to 17. 0.82

00:40:33.620 So if anything, Aisha would have matured later. And then not only that, when we read the Bible, 1.00

00:40:40.620 which is from the first century so that's 600 years before Aisha we see that Jesus calls

00:40:50.040 um she calls he calls a 12 year old girl little girl when when he's raising her from the dead

00:40:57.380 and she's she's referred to as a child so if a 12 year old is a child and a little girl 0.53

00:41:03.080 in the first century then Aisha you know she should have been even more so a child according

00:41:10.200 to their logic so or according to like science scientific studies so and then you know not only

00:41:19.900 that but there are hadiths like the hadiths show that she was still a child at six she was she was

00:41:27.960 not even seen as an adult so for example there's a hadith that that states that after the consummation

00:41:36.300 So after they even had intercourse and, you know, they had already been married, they started living together because it wasn't until the marriage was consummated that they were living together.

00:41:44.240 And there is a narration from that time where Aisha was playing with dolls and with her friends. 0.58

00:41:50.760 And then Mohammed comes in and then, you know, her friends get scared and go away.

00:41:55.320 And then he calls them back. But she's playing with dolls. 0.76

00:41:57.840 And the narration specifically says that she was allowed to play with dolls because she had not yet reached puberty.

00:42:03.720 so what that means is even when the marriage was consummated even when they had intercourse she

00:42:09.740 had still not hit puberty she was still prepubescent um there's another narration and

00:42:15.220 these are all completely authentic narrations you can actually find them on sunnah.com

00:42:19.320 um sunnah means like um the life of the prophet what he said like what he did that's the sunnah

00:42:26.560 you're supposed to follow the quran and the sunnah so sunnah.com actually has all these hadiths so 0.87

00:42:31.640 if you don't believe me like go because a lot of muslims they don't they'll they won't believe me 0.95

00:42:35.420 they'll think i'm making this stuff up it's all in the books and it's you can access what's in 1.00

00:42:40.740 the books on sunda.com they have like majority of the hadiths on there so there's that hadith

00:42:46.080 where she's playing with dolls there's another authentic hadith where um right before her mom

00:42:53.140 was going to give her to muhammad her mom was fattening her up with cucumbers and dates to make 0.88

00:43:00.300 her more suited for for intercourse um then we see in another narration another authentic 0.92

00:43:08.160 narration Aisha was getting accused of it was like some sort of scandal where she was caught with a

00:43:15.960 another guy basically she had gotten lost this uh man was bringing her back to the caravan to

00:43:21.760 Muhammad's caravan people started talking and was like oh she was uh cheating on Muhammad with this

00:43:26.880 guy so then muhammad questions you know muhammad questions um you know some other people around so

00:43:34.720 there's this uh one servant uh woman who he's asking about aisha like have you ever noticed

00:43:40.800 anything suspicious or wrong with aisha and then she said no um all i would say about her is that

00:43:47.600 she's a girl of immature age and at this time aisha was 13 so this servant the servant woman 0.71

00:43:52.780 is saying oh yeah this 13 year old girl Aisha she's you know just a child of immature age who

00:43:59.100 sometimes she leaves the dough out that you know the animals will eat them but eat the dough but

00:44:03.580 other than that you know she's fine so but the key is that she's called a girl of immature age

00:44:09.140 so all this together it shows no Aisha was was not an adult she was fully a child and then there's

00:44:16.100 also uh another authentic narration where a kid who was 15 years old muhammad deemed him too young

00:44:23.800 to fight in in um in battles so unless you're going to say that you know um girls and boys have

00:44:32.080 you know they do have a different timeline but if you're going to say the the difference is so

00:44:37.020 drastic that somehow a 15 year old boy was still considered too young but her at nine was considered

00:44:43.000 suitable for intercourse, that just doesn't make sense. You know, they're alive at the

00:44:47.480 same time period. So all that together, there's just no way that you could ever say Aisha was an

00:44:52.380 adult. So maybe your kids are getting to the age where they need to know what's going on

00:45:01.680 in the world, but you don't want them scrolling. You don't want them reading CNN. You don't want

00:45:06.620 them just going online and trying to find the news themselves. There's so much propaganda,

00:45:10.320 so much sensationalism. You just want them to get a straightforward and biblical assessment

00:45:15.640 of the most important things happening in our country and in the world. That's what you're

00:45:57.240 And when you bring this up to Muslims, because I've seen this debate before,

00:46:02.640 I've seen a Muslim apologist say, well, you know, the Bible justifies that sort of thing, too.

00:46:09.620 I've even seen someone pull out this random assertion, which I had never heard before.

00:46:14.800 Well, Abraham actually or Abram actually married Sarah when she was three or married a three year old or something like that.

00:46:25.520 Very strange. But like, what do you say to that kind of response from Muslims to say, well, 0.77

00:46:31.640 you know, it's no different than what the Bible teaches in certain places. 0.95

00:46:36.580 Yeah. So what they'll say is, um, Rebecca was three, um, you know, Isaac married Rebecca when

00:46:44.340 she was three. There's, if you actually read, if you actually read her story in the Bible,

00:46:52.100 you read, you know, what's going on. She was having a full on conversation with him. She was

00:46:57.980 carrying buckets of water from the well to um feed the camels she and the bible literally says

00:47:05.060 that she was of marriageable age there's nowhere in the bible that ever says she was three that

00:47:11.100 where that comes from is a later rabbi a jewish rabbi who he's using the number three as uh

00:47:19.580 symbolism because in judaism numbers they carry um like symbolic meaning but there is no evidence

00:47:26.860 whatsoever that she was three the evidence actually says the exact opposite and then

00:47:32.200 anything that they bring up in the bible they're like for example how you know muhammad had

00:47:38.480 concubines he had sex slaves so when you bring that up they'll be like oh well this like david 0.73

00:47:43.080 had concubines solomon had concubines but the thing is they were literally condemned for having 0.94

00:47:48.400 concubines it literally says that that brought them farther away from god and not only that

00:47:54.200 but they're not our standard of morality jesus is our standard of morality and you know he is god 0.98

00:48:00.020 he's not just a mere human but whereas for muslims muhammad is considered their objective

00:48:04.480 moral standard because that's what the quran says the quran says that muhammad is the perfect

00:48:08.820 example so you can't really use the prophets from uh the bible to say like oh well you know

00:48:14.800 this prophet in the bible did this because that's not who we model ourselves after but yet you are

00:48:19.980 supposed to model yourself after Muhammad. So that's what I tell them. Right. And I do just 0.92

00:48:26.500 want to note the first time we meet Abram and Sarai in Genesis 11, verse 29 says the name of

00:48:36.100 Abram's wife was Sarai. And then the immediately following verse is now Sarai was barren. She had

00:48:42.100 no child. Obviously, that's not how you describe someone who is prepubescent. You can only be

00:48:49.140 barren if you are of childbearing age. You don't call a child who doesn't even have the function 0.95

00:48:56.080 of conceiving barren. And I always bring people back to creation as well. We see in the very 0.67

00:49:02.840 beginning that he made us male and female, but not only that, the command that he gave Adam and Eve

00:49:08.360 was to be fruitful and multiply. Again, you only have the capacity to do that as a man or a woman

00:49:16.160 post-puberty. So we see man, woman from the beginning, there's never any confusion about

00:49:22.360 is she a child? Are they even able to have children yet? The purpose of marriage within

00:49:28.340 Christianity, one of the main purposes is procreation. And that is only biologically 0.97

00:49:34.880 possible at a certain age. I wonder if you believe, I mean, it would be hard for me to see

00:49:40.700 otherwise, that Muhammad, the founder of Islam, having married a six-year-old, is that what

00:49:49.320 justifies so much of the behavior that we tend to see in Islam, not just in the Middle East,

00:49:55.920 where you literally have child brides and child sex slavery, but also a lot of the 0.99

00:50:02.800 stories that we hear about sexual predation by these radical Muslim communities in places like 1.00

00:50:10.240 Europe. Like, is it even seen within Islam as a moral problem or is it kind of glossed over 0.96

00:50:17.680 because of what Muhammad did? Yeah. So I would say in the West, it's seen as a moral problem 0.98

00:50:24.820 because, you know, um, a lot of Muslims in the West, they don't know about these hadiths or,

00:50:30.800 you know, they're taught like, um, I should matured faster. So she, so Muhammad did never 0.98

00:50:36.480 actually married a child or now a new thing that's that's starting is like to reject the

00:50:41.780 hadiths altogether uh it was always the case that if you reject hadiths you're not actually

00:50:46.500 following islam because you need the hadiths to actually understand the quran so um if you

00:50:54.300 there's like a whole thing now where there are muslims who have started to reject the hadiths 0.98

00:50:59.500 because there are so such like disgusting crazy things in the hadith books um and they're they're 0.97

00:51:06.160 calling themselves quran only now there's like a huge especially on tiktok there's like a civil war 0.59

00:51:12.340 in the muslim community where the sunni muslims who still follow the hadith and the quran both

00:51:17.980 they're they're calling these um hadith rejecters um non-muslims and saying that they they're

00:51:24.600 basically apostates from islam and they're you know it's getting like just really ugly on there

00:51:29.400 but the truth is yeah you cannot be a muslim if you reject hadith so what now what a lot of people

00:51:34.800 in the west are trying to do is say oh aisha was never actually six or or nine she was actually

00:51:40.200 19 because like they're doing some like weird historical calculation but nobody until the

00:51:47.380 20th century ever said that aisha was uh 19 it the it has always been that she was six it's like

00:51:54.500 a modern thing because now people are starting to learn about it and realize how problematic it is

00:51:58.900 But now when it comes to the Middle East, I think that, you know, people, it's more accepted and it's more common knowledge over there. 0.91

00:52:11.100 And so child marriage is definitely a thing. 0.78

00:52:14.160 According to, you know, Sharia law, which is in a lot of these Muslim countries, you can marry a child. 0.99

00:52:22.600 Some places have, you know, the minimum age be nine. 0.95

00:52:26.760 um but what the what it says is that you know she just has to be physically able to bear intercourse 0.91

00:52:34.060 that's what the the sharia law says that's what the schools of islamic jurisprudence says that

00:52:40.460 as long as she's able to physically bear intercourse you could sleep with her it doesn't

00:52:45.180 matter if she's menstruated or not um so it's it's sinful if you think that you would cause harm 0.51

00:52:51.420 like you know tearing but if not you can you could say this is this is what the sharia books say i'm

00:52:58.460 not saying that all muslims practice it in the middle east i'm not saying all countries do

00:53:03.380 but there are definitely countries where the the minimum age is nine because of um based on

00:53:09.240 muhammad's marriage and these are what the the sharia law says this is what the religion teaches

00:53:16.160 So to me, it just shows that it's not a religion from God. 0.93

00:53:19.520 Even if Muslims weren't to be practicing it, it still shows that the fact that it even came, 0.90

00:53:26.560 this religion even, you know, has these things. 0.99

00:53:29.600 It just, it can't be from God.

00:54:32.480 it seems to me like so much of islam is about sex like the fact that men are promised 0.93

00:54:43.020 you know a fleet of virgins when they go into paradise and so the idea of heaven and islam is 0.98

00:54:50.100 like an eternal brothel for men women aren't promised that you know the same kinds of gifts 0.98

00:54:56.600 of perpetual, consequenceless sex. And it contrasts so much from Christianity. I mean, 0.97

00:55:04.240 Jesus even says in heaven, like you're not married or given in marriage. It really is

00:55:09.140 all about fellowship with Christ. It's all about worship of him. And that is what we look forward

00:55:14.880 to. No satisfaction of carnal desire, no like, you know, whitewashing of sin or re

00:55:21.800 a furbishing of sin to make it better in heaven. It's really like what we look forward to is that

00:55:27.780 there will be no sin and that we don't have to worry about carrying that burden and that we get

00:55:32.980 to spend forever with him. There's just such a difference. Islam really seems to be driven by

00:55:39.120 man's carnal desire for sex and domination. I don't know if you think that's an unfair 1.00

00:55:44.040 description, but when you're talking, I'm like, it seems like that's what it comes down to in a

00:55:49.420 lot of ways yeah no i i 100 agree with that um it is definitely a very carnal religion that that

00:55:58.800 revolves around sex for sure um yeah so the quran actually says so men who are martyrs they get the

00:56:08.900 72 virgins that a lot of people hear about um and these virgins they they'll never lose their

00:56:14.740 virginity they'll be perpetual virgins um but in the Quran for everyone else who isn't a martyr

00:56:20.740 you get two virgins and the Quran describes them as like their breasts are full and like like these

00:56:27.580 swollen breasts like the fact that the Quran that Allah in the Quran the creator of the universe 0.79

00:56:32.760 is even describing the breasts of these two virgin women that you're gonna get is is crazy 0.73

00:56:38.880 And then we see, you know, Muhammad was allowed to have an unlimited amount of wives, but everyone else was able to have up to four wives.

00:56:49.180 And then not only that, but, you know, going back to the Hadiths, authentic narrations in Sahih al-Bukhari, which is the most authentic collection of Hadiths,

00:56:58.880 there was an instance where at, when him and his army went away to battle, they were, they told

00:57:08.120 Muhammad, Hey, we're afraid that since we're away from our wives, that we're going to commit adultery

00:57:12.380 and we're going to sin. Like, what should we do? Um, they had even asked him at some point, like,

00:57:17.400 should we just castrate ourselves? Cause they didn't want to sin. So then what Muhammad did

00:57:22.180 is he allowed temporary marriage um with like women who you know either were captives or 0.81

00:57:30.740 just like well actually you can you can um if you have war captives you know you could sleep with

00:57:36.600 them without marrying them and it's not a sin but like he allowed temporary marriage to women so

00:57:42.240 that they could relieve like satisfy their sexual desires and then they could get divorced right

00:57:48.380 after now in sunni islam it's no longer allowed that that was abrogated but for a time that was

00:57:55.640 allowed by muhammad according to sunni islam um which i just think is crazy like to just that it's

00:58:02.140 it's basically just devaluing what marriage actually is like in christianity marriage is a

00:58:07.480 is a lifelong covenant and it says that the that two shall become one flesh it shall be united to

00:58:13.780 one flesh. And, you know, Jesus even says that in the past, God had allowed divorce because their

00:58:20.900 hearts were hard, but God hates divorce too. And there was no concept, you know, God's ideal plan

00:58:27.460 for marriage never included polygamy. But now all of a sudden you have Muhammad saying, oh, 0.87

00:58:33.260 if you're like to his army, like, oh, you guys can just temporarily marry this girl and then

00:58:38.520 have intercourse and then, you know, divorce her and move on with your life. That's not what real

00:58:43.020 marriage is so it is a very carnal religion it is surrounded you know there's there's so many

00:58:49.100 narrations i could tell you also just about muhammad's personal life we we get so many

00:58:54.340 narrations of things that we just didn't really need to know like for example there's one

00:58:58.340 where it says that muhammad would have intercourse with all nine of his wives

00:59:02.280 in one night and then wouldn't shower until he was done with all of them then there are a lot 0.99

00:59:07.640 where um aisha she said that she would uh scrape the semen off of his clothes with her fingernails 0.90

00:59:14.560 um before he would pray like his clothes were covered in semen it's like 0.77

00:59:19.000 they're so it is very sex centered for sure yeah wow i didn't know about a lot of those i didn't

00:59:29.600 know how carnal it actually was and i imagine that there's a lot of people in general but like

00:59:35.780 you said specifically muslims that don't even that don't even know that um so from a christian

00:59:41.920 perspective as someone who was not raised muslim i should say that from that perspective who

00:59:47.180 obviously doesn't know all of the quranic teachings the hadith everything that you're

00:59:54.840 talking about is it even possible for someone like me to effectively witness to a muslim if

01:00:02.820 I don't know all of those things. And yes, of course, we share the gospel and God is going to

01:00:07.560 make hearts fertile and all of that. That's the work of the Holy Spirit. But is there a particular

01:00:13.480 strategy or a particular step that we should take over on this non-past Muslim side to try to 0.93

01:00:22.980 witness to the Muslims that we know? Yeah. So I would say it can be a really

01:00:30.740 hard thing to approach um when it comes to you know everything that i just mentioned about

01:00:36.000 muhammad it a lot of muslims now have started to hear about aisha's age and they have started to

01:00:41.620 hear you know maybe not everything that i mentioned but definitely i think her age is

01:00:46.920 something that comes up a lot and you know when you bring that up immediately they can start to

01:00:51.900 think that you're judging them or stereotyping the religion so then it like puts their guard up

01:00:56.940 So I would say like when we're witnessing to Muslims, maybe to start off with, it probably wouldn't be the best to bring up the moral issues with Muhammad, but maybe I would say explaining, you know, the context behind Jesus's sacrifice, you know, having a good understanding of the Old Testament. 0.94

01:01:21.580 And then being able to defend the validity of the Bible, because most Muslims, the Bible, they think that it's corrupted and they don't know why they don't have any proof of it. 0.96

01:01:33.840 But since they've been taught it and no one has ever really told them different. 0.96

01:01:36.900 And it's like it's treated as a fact, like it's treated as like this well-known fact.

01:01:42.100 And for me, I think I had assumed like, yeah, the Bible is corrupted because so many people are saying if it wasn't the truth and somebody would have came out and said that already.

01:01:50.420 So I was very surprised when I learned that it wasn't because I'm like, then why is it such a widely held belief?

01:01:59.360 So I think starting with being able to, like, defend the validity of the Bible and the preservation of the Bible, being able to, you know, explain, you know, the fact that people witness these things, people witness his crucifixion and his resurrection, and, you know, just having a good understanding of the theology is a good place to start.

01:02:23.500 um also just like maybe you know focusing on the continuity aspect between christianity and islam

01:02:31.400 because islam it's supposed to be from the same god and it's supposed to be a continuation of our

01:02:35.980 religion yet it contradicts it in in so many ways like it doesn't mention the the atonement

01:02:43.000 sacrificial system it leaves out passover one of like the biggest um like the biggest holy days

01:02:51.300 in the Old Testament, the biggest event in the Bible, because it was during the time of Pharaoh

01:02:56.320 and the Quran mentions the Exodus story and mentions, you know, the signs that were given

01:03:02.480 to Pharaoh, but the one that it leaves out is Passover. So then, you know, bringing up these

01:03:08.400 issues and being like, it's so widespread in the Bible and it's such an integral part of the Bible

01:03:14.920 that there's no way that part can be a corruption. So why does the Quran never mention it? I think

01:03:20.620 starting with those things and then maybe bringing up the moral aspects to like, you know, ease them

01:03:26.540 into it would be a good way to start. Okay. That's a really helpful perspective. Well, gosh, I could

01:03:33.400 keep talking to you on and on about all of the different perspectives that you have. We'll have

01:03:37.500 to have you back on and just kind of go through those rapid fire. But I really encourage people

01:03:42.480 to, in the meantime, go to your page. You've talked about such interesting things like

01:03:47.400 what you think about john the baptist and how that differs from the muslim perspective on things

01:03:53.400 um jesus reciting psalm 22 my god my god why have you forsaken me and i wish we had time to

01:03:59.580 get into all of that but i just really encourage people to check you out to check you out to watch

01:04:04.440 your videos to share your videos it's eternal bread of life instagram tiktok thank you so much

01:04:10.740 for taking the time to share your testimony and just for what you do thank you so much for having
