James Kaddis & Jay confront problems with MUHAMMAD & MECCA!

This is now the 3rd talk which Jay gave a number of weeks ago when James Kaddis, the pastor of Calvary Chapel Signal Hill, in California, had him come to his church and speak for the 3 Sunday morning services on Islam. In the first talk he did a comparison between Islam and Christianity. In the second talk he then confronted the many historical problems with the Qur'an, while James then interjected his own views and ideas. This video follows the third talk which he gave on that Sunday morning, with James, once again adding his own ideas and background experience in support of what Jay is saying. It is obvious that both of them know and enjoy this historical material well. Picking up where he left off in the earlier second service Jay continues his comparisons between the historical veracity for Christianity when compared to Islam, using the Bible and the Qur'an as his prime example. At around the 14th minute into this talk Jay then turned his attention to the historical problems with Mecca, and confronted the Muslim claim that the 30 foot wide and 50 feet deep Zam-Zam well which is situated right next to the Ka'aba in Mecca is able to provide water for 1.9 billion Muslims around the world, as well as the roughly 4 million Muslims who either live in Mecca or participate in the Hajj pilgrimage, proving that the inexhaustible Zam-Zam water was not a miracle of Allah at all, but was provided by Bechtel Corporation, headquartered in Reston, Virginia, USA. Jay also queried where the original Ka'aba as well as the original Safa and Marwa mountains came from, suggesting that their antecedants can all be found in Jerusalem. Half an hour into this talk Jay then moved on to the prophet of Islam, Muhammad, himself, and suggested that the name itself was not a name at all, but a title which was quite common, both in Judaism and in Christianity during the 7th century, thus the reason we find it on coins and inscriptions from that time and from that place....but, Jay continued that title had nothing to do with the prophet of Islam, but was a title for someone else much more important; however, you'll have to watch the video to find out who exactly that person was. He then ended his talk by introducing the newest research we have on the story of both Muhammad and the origins of Islam, suggesting that all of the earliest manuscripts for both Muhammad's life and sayings, as well as everything we know concerning Islam's origins do not come from what we have been led to believe at all. We’ve been told that the stories surrounding Muhammad’s life were written by those who saw and heard him, thus either by eyewitnesses; or by others within a few generations. Yet, Jay introduces in this talk newly uncovered research which shows that the earliest extant manuscripts for all of the Islamic Traditions, also known as the "Standard Islamic Narrative", were all created 200 – 900 years after Muhammad presumably lived. In fact the most important of them, the Sira (his biography) and the Tafsir and Tahrikh were not compiled and canonized into written texts until 1,200 – 1,270 years later by German and Dutch scholars living in Europe, suggesting that everything we now know about early Islam is possibly a fraud! © Pfander Centre for Apologetics & Polemics - US, 2024 (113,770)
