Continuing the refutation of Pseudo Academic Gabriel Reynolds (he blocked me so I can’t tag him).

This is one of the clearest cases of him being biased in his approach to the Quran. Whenever he feels he can undermine claims Muslims make about the Quran, he prefers that over more plausible explanations.

What this inevitably leads to is contradictions within his own worldview, because he doesn’t really care about consistency so much as how many times he can trash Islam.

There are other threads/videos I’ve made on him, I’ll quote them at the end of the thread, in sha Allah.

Now let’s start with his inconsistent position on how the Quran quotes people/Biblical material. 1/9 🧵

[Deen @Deenresponds]

Yes the answers at the beginning i bring a quote from a classical scholar listing two views. i examine both views and give my preferred one.

Now about you saying it’s fundamental to the religion etc. Everyone knows what the injil is and what to believe about it. 1. Whatever contents is mentioned in the Quran 2. It was revealed to Jesus as a kitab and Kalam Allah

So Every Muslim knows the injil as a matter of Article fo faith and don’t disagree on the fundamentals. But knowing what the injil is in detail and specifics aren’t required for a layman. This is what the Book seeks to address in sha Allah

[Deen @Deenresponds]

My Books release is fast approaching in sha Allah. If anyone wants to pre order it just dm me here on twitter with your email in sha Allah.

Here’s a brief summary of my book:

A whole range of topics surrounding the Injil will be covered.

I’ll be discussing the two major positions and explaining why I personally hold to mine.

I’ll also be laying out intertexts between the Quran and the Gospels to demonstrate that the Quran has detailed knowledge of the Gospel traditions. Indirectly, this also addresses the argument that the Qur’an supposedly made a mistake by assuming it was not contradicting previous scripture when denying the crucifixion of Jesus or other things that may contradict with the Gospels.

Finally, I grade all the sayings attributed to Jesus into different categories based on their level of compatibility:

1) Heavy intertexts with the Qur’an and Islamic tradition

2) Generally Islamic themes

3) Neutral everyday statements
from Jesus, such as “get me a cup of water”

4) Statements that may initially seem un-Islamic and require Tawil (reinterpretation), but can still be reconciled

5) Statements that cannot be reconciled at all

Alongside these gradings, I include footnotes explaining possible reconciliations, relevant intertexts, and the reasoning behind each grading. The book currently has around 400 footnotes (a good portion are repeated due to overlap and parallel material between the Gospels).

I will also have a grading section for the Q Gospel following the grading section for the four canonical Gospels.

For whatever cannot be reconciled, I will be presenting historical arguments against its historicity at the end, without presupposing Islam.

Pricing for the book will likely be somewhere around $30 USD, though nothing is finalized yet.

If any publishing houses are interested in publishing translations in other languages, such as Spanish or Arabic, I’m open to that as well, just DM me.

BarakAllahu feekum for all the support. I pray Allah allows me to complete this project, allows people to benefit from it immensely, and uses me for many more future publications.

السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته

@KyriosPhilos was inspiring philosophy wrong in the video?

[Deen @Deenresponds]

In This Video i show how deceptive Inspiring Philosophy is as well as how ignorant Godlogic, him and Belle liu are on Q.

https://t.co/mrJaI0EkIV

[SeerahPro @SeerahDawah]

while Godlogic posts fake msgs sent by Christians - actual Christians are reverting to Islam upon finding out the Trinity and Jesus dying on the cross are nonsensical

[Deen @Deenresponds]

Amazing how this atheists brain can’t function for more than 5 seconds to realise that the muslim initially wasn’t critiquing the direction of prayer but the the subject of the prayer itself

[Deen @Deenresponds]

@calebpescado09 Where does Jesus teach you should reciprocate insults/harm

[Deen @Deenresponds]

Furthermore, Jesus in the Gospels taught pacifism he didn’t teach that you should insult back. When Avery got insulted he should have given the guy his coat while he was being insulted.

Later christian’s invented ideas about fighting and insulting back. If you solely look at the red letters jesus doesn’t teach that

[smile2jannah @smile2jannah]

So the Christian who called the Prophet a [X] is moaning that 'The other guy called Paul a [X] first, I just returned the energy.'

That's literally the playground response of 'he started it.'

Is this Christian logic now? Because by that standard:

'He hit me first' makes assault okay.
'He lied first' makes lying fine.
'He stole first' makes theft justified.
See how ridiculous that sounds?

And yes, the person who insulted Paul first was wrong. That doesn't make GL right. Two wrongs don't cancel out. They just make two wrongs.

Returning the same energy doesn't make you better, it just proves you had no higher ground to begin with.

[Deen @Deenresponds]

Abu Zakariya (Manyprophetsonemessage on YT) Zakir Hussein, Orthodox Muslim and many more are in the process of reading it.

Students of knowledge that dedicated their lives to islamic studies will also be looking through it as well

[Father Of Multitudes @abumultitudes]

@Deenresponds can you also provide the names of the people who cross examined the book?

[Deen @Deenresponds]

About 400 pages

[Jacuzzi🇳🇬 @deezguy49]

@Deenresponds How many pages Akhi?

[Deen @Deenresponds]

No Just the 4 Gospels and the Q Gospel at the end

[Gharqad @stonesndtrees]

@Deenresponds Does this cover apocryphal gospel / Quran crossover too?

[Deen @Deenresponds]

A year and a half mostly because grading the sayings of Jesus in terms of compatibility with Islam while giving footnotes for them takes a lot of research

[JMF the Taoist @Cr1ng3rZ]

@Deenresponds How long did it take to write it?

[Deen @Deenresponds]

@chonkshonk1 @dmontetheno1 Aye man get off twitter and touch some grass

[Deen @Deenresponds]

This sort of language and theatrical antics shows that Dan Mclellan is not someone who merely puts “data over dogma” he is speaking in a way that is not scholarly and isn’t even trying to come across as unbiased anymore.

Even though i think he gets a lot of stuff right we have to remember everyone has their own biases even dan mclellan but this sort of imagery and rhetoric undermines his scholarly reputation.

No scholar would ever describe the bible as “stealing prophecy” that’s more like polemical language.

[Deen @Deenresponds]

Yes it will be on amazon. It’s not just a good read for Muslims but also for Christians, Atheists pretty much anyone interested in how Islam sees Jesus or the 4 Gospels it’ll be full of many resources and responses that you’ve probably never seen or heard before!

So I suggest everyone to get a copy.

[New Wine Apologetics @Rexleonum_NWA]

@Deenresponds Will this be on Amazon?

[Deen @Deenresponds]

@RemiRelief2 i announced my book before chris did lol

[Deen @Deenresponds]

@Murawwaa100 In sha Allah!

[Deen @Deenresponds]

@TheWandare General confirmation + Conscious Edits answers the fake dilemma.

But that’s not the purpose of this book, it’s moreso an answer to “What’s the Injil” without having to posit an unknown Gospel.

[Deen @Deenresponds]

@DavedMercy78769 I don’t think addressing lord lord is worth it as it’s not a serious argument it’s easily explained as jesus being called “lord” now i do go into how “lord” is reconciled in islam.

The false thing IP said won’t be addressed because he made up a saying in Q

[Deen @Deenresponds]

Catholics help Inspiring Philosophy run from a protestant who was cooking him lol

[Deen @Deenresponds]

@DavedMercy78769 briefly just arguments for it. And at the end i collect all of Q for you to see with its respective gradings.
