@Rurouni_Phoenix@Rashiq__Shahzad@chonkshonk1 It’s kind of funny because many anti Islamic polemicists will swear western Islamic academics is biased and does not critique Islam for politically correct reasons and Muslim apologists will argue the entire field is orientalists trying to disprove the Quran 🤣
@chonkshonk1 I actually have freinds who believe in biblical infallibility who also run into the same problems when exploring biblical scholarship for the first time. There explanation for why is because secular satanists run university 🤣
@chonkshonk1 From a Muslim pov I was taught while growing up that the Quran was the infallible eternal word of god preserved dot for dot with scientific(big bang) and historical miracles(pharaoh’s name). Those who grow up in this model and try to go into academia will have their world changed
@salsabilhistory The creator of the video argues Paul is a true apostle in Islamic theology and rejects the ebionites as heretics for there rejection of the virgin birth. He argues the early Sunnis accepted Paul, the son of god is an honorary title, and Jesus is the joahine logos of god.
Muslims who believe in high christology/paul are so interesting and fascinating. Never met one in real life but would love so have a conversation with them on philosophy.

@chonkshonk1 Yeah holger zellentin seems to be the odd one out of this issue as one of the few scholars who holds this view (Sinai, Reynolds, linstedt, etc) hold to only misinterpretation.

@Redowayne Yes it’s been months since I posted this and I believe I worded it wrong and what I said at the time was wrong. I still believe the Quran is divinely inspired however.l
If prophecy were real, why not plainly state an Arab prophet named Muhammad will arise in 7th-century Arabia after the Messiah? Instead we see vague passages later applied retroactively. The answer is because prophecy and miracles do not exist and we live in a natural world.
Not trying to stir up apologetics just curious as to peoples responses. Personally I don’t take the stories in the Quran as literal history but instead moral lessons. Of course the Quran however still wants its immediate audience at the time to believe they are literal however.
