James White vs. Jalal Abualrub: "Does the New Testament Teach that Jesus Is God?"

As far as I can tell, this debate was over by the time James finished his opening statement. (One important note: Jalal admitted that God can enter into His creation.)

Yeah for Jalal to debate Christian Theology he was bound to lose, that was pitiful. I believe Jalal was completely wasted, ill equip and a very poor speaker. No doubt the same will for go for Zaatari vs White, Muslims can't debate, Shabir is the only thing that comes even close.

Brilliant job James, I loved it!

Fascinating that Jalal refers to Christian denominations to argue for the authorship of the Gospels. As far as I know all Christians believe that the apostles, Matthew, Mark (who dicated the apostle Peter), John, and the apostolic successor Luke (a companion of the eyewitnesses)wrote the Gospels. The argument against this is posed by the atheist scholarship that needs to propose this to avoid a reliable, historical chain of witness.

Jalal seems to be one of the more pleasant islamic debaters.

Wow.. couldn't follow Jalal at all. What was his point?? He really didn't have a foot to stand on in that debate. Zero evidence, zero citations, only twisted interpretations of greek words which he, by his own admission, didn't understand at all. Wow.

at the end jalal didnt want to get up and shake hands. he was starting to hate ."smiling to your face whilst cursing you in their heart"

I just had to drop a comment on this debate...

Listening to this debate, I always dread when it is Jalal's turn to speak... Not that he was throwing out convincing or dreadful arguments...
but that he was just such a terrible speaker and was making no sense whatsoever in his arguments...

I salute Dr James White that he was able to maintain his cool and continue with properly debating Jalal.. I was practically ignoring Jalal whenever he speaks.
