@Mousssssssssssa @Deenresponds In other words, by above one expects truth to be spread in not just the so-called canonical gospels.

Hence the Quran is manifesting what the true distribution of historical events are.

[Dr Omar @dromar4truth]

@Mousssssssssssa @Deenresponds If Jesus was historical and if all “gospels” are each annonymous author with their spin, then one would expect truth spread around the falsehood.

Which is the truth that the Quran is aligned with.

@whymeldn @HumanBeingAlpha @Deenresponds Don’t message me again.

I don’t have time with people deflecting and raising side issues.

[Delman @dmontetheno1]

Dr. Joshua Little (@IslamicOrigins) on the possibility of identifying super-early material in hadith literature in our upcoming interview on Oases of Wisdom this weekend!

@oasis_wisdom @the_qadrii

[Delman @dmontetheno1]

@the_qadrii and I are happy to announce that we’ll be conducting a special video AMA with Dr. Suleyman Dost on our @oasis_wisdom YouTube channel! You can submit your questions over at r/MuslimAcademics (@MuslimAcademics) beginning on the 26th!

Links are below!

[Ahmad Qadri @the_qadrii]

I look forward to uploading this full convo soon with @dmontetheno1 and @IslamicOrigins on how Little overcame his Islamophobia and how he is optimistic regarding certain hadith and their capacity to give historical information!

[The Cradle @TheCradleMedia]

A family of four—Hassan Ismail Khalil, his wife Israa Ali Obeid, and their two children, Ali and Mohammad—was killed in an Israeli attack on the southern Lebanese town of Barish.

@whymeldn @HumanBeingAlpha @Deenresponds I did give reasons. I don’t have time to deal with your deflections and you slipping into
gas lighting.

Read this review.

@Mousssssssssssa @Deenresponds I am not fond of Richard Carrier or what any atheist apologist usually says but this review of a previous book by Dennis MacDonald is a tour de force of a review.

[Abdullah Ansar @ShaykhIshraq]

In 2023, Dr. Joshua Little quite convincingly showed that the narrative about the age of Aisha is most likely not historical. It is understandable why some would confessionally hold it but why is this still treated as a historical fact for Islamophobic rhetoric?

[Ed Husain @Ed_Husain]

@triggerpod Strange to see so many disbelievers suddenly become such firm *believers* in narrow, singular narratives. They always know more than educated Muslims — and then with such venom, too.

[TRIGGERnometry @triggerpod]

“Was Muhammad a warlord?” @Ed_Husain answer might surprise you.

Watch this before forming an opinion.

[Mu. @mumuvoid]

The first three centuries of Christianity left behind letters, art, worship, creeds, hymns, theology, inscriptions, and religious practices. Yet among these surviving records, there is no explicit mention of a co-equal Trinity consisting of three co-equal, self-existent, and eternal persons.

[Dr Omar @dromar4truth]

Yep, it’s a distinction without a difference.

Guess what people in the past were human beings very much like us.

They appreciated art. And thus, in the art of mimeses, Greek students were always taught to make some changes.

Read about things before you waste other people’s time.

[Dr Omar @dromar4truth]

Macdonald and all agree that Mark did mimesis of OT as well.

All your criticisms fall flat. (See my recent reply).

Karl Olav Sandes was MacDonald’s biggest critic but Sadnes last year explains in https://t.co/2qeg1ZHv6h and even his biggest critic now acknowledges that MacDonald might be true!

Scholars such as and Richard C. Miller and Robin Faith Walsh and others agree with MacDonald.

Only a holistic and that means a statistical approach can resolve any if the criticisms are reasonable.

And the recent statistical test proves MacDonald’s thesis to true and that the criticisms are just as expected—resistance to change.

[Dr Omar @dromar4truth]

Whether Hermes is walking or gliding an inch above is a difference without a distinction.

In his last book, MacDonald demonstrates with statistical proof how his thesis is true.

Macdonald agrees that all similarities are not equal in strength so the criticism you refer to are straw man tactics.

Change is always different.

When scholars spend decades missing the Homeric source, they will not gladly admit they were mistaken.

[Dr Omar @dromar4truth]

@missarahfl @Deenresponds I think it is in Iliad Book 24.

If the selected statements are not as adjacent as the post, read Prof. Dennis Macdonald’s books such as his latest book—you will see numerous parallels of dense similarities with sequence elements far more aligned and adjacent to each other.

[Dr Omar @dromar4truth]

Actually I am mistaken and Deen was correct. Although most of the imitations of Jesus in Gospel of Mark is from the Odyssey, this episode is from the Iliad.

The sandals of Hermes do indeed allow him to skim across the water in the Iliad.

Please check out the Quranic Jesus which is accurate and aligns with the Gospel of Q—what many top academic scholars say is the original gospel of Jesus.

[Dr Omar @dromar4truth]

Don’t be pedantic. The density and the same sequence are beyond chance.

But even beyond this instance, there are numerous such instances.

In fact, the majority of the stories of Jesus in the Gospel of Mark are imitations of the Homeric epics.

In contrast, the Quranic Jesus aligns with Jesus from the Gospel of Q which is the Injeel.

[Dr Omar @dromar4truth]

@missarahfl @Deenresponds Yes it’s from the Odyssey.

Most of the stories in Gospel of Mark are imitations from the Odyssey.
