Christian-Muslim Dialogue The Oneness of God: Trinity or Tawhid? Tony Costa vs. Farhan Iqbal




The video of the dialogue between myself and Farhan Iqbal has now been posted. The topic was on the Trinity and Tawhid. I begin speaking at 27:42.

How do we as Christians answer the response that self-love in the God of taweed is no different than self-love within a Trinitarian Godhead?

That question was already answered in the Q & A. There is no self-love in the Trinity as the divine Persons love each other. Self-love is selfish and narcissist. The god of Islam is not love. He is only loving to those who love him first (Q 3:31). Allah needs his creation to be who he is as Master. He is dependent on creation. The biblical God does not need us, we need Him.

Awesome job Tony... However I did not like how the Q&A session was structured, in that there should have been at least a 30sec-a minute rebuttal by the opposing side,
It seemed to me that Farhan got away with a whole lot of rubbish that you could have put to rest.
For example to the answer of one of the questions he emphatically stated that Jesus did absolutely nothing during his earthly life that could prove his divinity. (I'm paraphrasing)... Which to me is utter rubbish and it infuriated me to listen to a Muslim spin such lies to prove their point...

The name of God YHWH as an everlasting name verses "circumcision"? Really Mr. Scholarly Farhan?...
If there Was ever a gigantic red herring thrown in to deter from answering, this is it.... I'm sorry but Muslims are such hypocrites that they don't even feel a tinge of guilt when conjuring up nonsense like Mr. farhan did during this dialogue.
