How are we saved? Shabir Ally & Samuel Green

(Before It's News)

It was a pleasure to meet with Shabir again. Here are a few post-debate comments I ask you to consider:

1. Shabir displayed the cover of, “The Dead Sea Scrolls Bible” translated by Martin Abegg et al, and claimed that it showed that some versions of Isaiah 53 do not have the servant die (21:44, 1:56:20). I asked for a reference to this claim during the debate (1:09:00) but none was given. I have this book and have now checked, and it does not make this claim. Simply showing the cover of a book may appear convincing but is not enough. There needs to be some page reference. I am happy to be corrected.

2. He said there was no Old Testament prophecy about a specific individual called the Messiah to come (22:50). Again this is wrong. The Messiah is the son of David (2 Samuel 7:13-16, Psalm 2) and we are specifically told of a coming son (Isaiah 9:6ff et al) who will bring God’s kingdom. This is basic teaching about the Messiah.

I will not go through every point. My hope is that debates such as these will help Christians and Muslims understand each others books and religions better. My concern is that Shabir presents his material with convincing confidence yet when I check these references they do not say what he claims. I hope that those of you who want to learn by watching these debates will check all of the references given by both speakers.
