Khalid Yasin embraced Islam in 1965 and is currently the Director of the Islamic Teaching Institute in the USA. He specializes in a variety of topics and areas including: Youth, Islamic History, Culture, community development and Dawah work. He has lectured in a variety of places and locations both nationally and internationally and has been the means by which a large number of non-Muslims have reverted to Islam.
Extracts from the lecture:
Mathew, Luke, mark and john who were they?
Mathew who?
Luke who?
John Who?
And mark who?
What were their last names?
When did they write?
Did they know Jesus Christ (PBUH)?
Did they walk with Jesus Christ (PBUH)?
Did they eat with Jesus Christ (PBUH)?
Did they talk to Jesus Christ (PBUH)?
Did they even meet Jesus Christ (PBUH) PBUH)??!
The answer is NO! NO! NO! NO! NO!
Conclusively they wrote those books 40 years after Jesus Christ (PBUH) PBUH) they never met him
The last one they wrote was 80 years after Jesus Christ (PBUH) they never met him
The other thing is all of them seem to have written the gospel (pause) according to
According to according to according to!!!
Now when you write a letter do you sign it according to? (Sigh!)
According to is the third party!
When Jacky, Johnny or bobby told me something and I wrote it I would say according to Joe, Johnny Tommy or bobby.
According to.
But those four people would not write a letter and in front of it say Jacky according to
Jacky.
They not even right their last names.
Because if Jacky right me a check and only write Jacky I couldn't cash it. And if I was a
Policeman and I stop Johnny on the road and he has a license that only say Jacky he is going to jail. (Laugh! from the audience)
Where in the world is a document with only one name of four different writers that didn't
Meet the one whom they writing about where is that accepted in the whole world?
No where except in the Bible.
And the church fathers, historians and the Christian writers. They all agree that perhaps
Those four writers themselves were only pen names.
Because a writer would not write his own only first name ACCORDING TO.
There is a great amount of suspicion that the man called Paul, Saul of Tarsus because he
Wrote all books from acts all the way to the end of the New Testament, How many books is that?
How many?? 15, 16, 17 or 19!!!
All those books of Acts Colossian Corinthians Romans Ephesians Galatians all of those books are written by whom?
PAUL Saul of Tarsus.
Another man who never talked who never walked, never eat, never met, never prayed
Who never knew Jesus Christ (PBUH) (PBUH) isn't that something???!!
Now here we find a four writers and another one between them that wrote all the new
Testament books:
They never talked never walked never eat never met and never prayed the man called
Jesus Christ (PBUH)!
Yet in their words the first mentioning of the Trinity came from where??!
From Jesus Christ (PBUH) or from them?
The first mentioning of Jesus Christ (PBUH) being divine a man god came from whom?!
From them.
The first mentioning that Jesus Christ (PBUH) being son of god came from whom?
From them.
Jesus Christ (PBUH) never said in his words any such words, but that was the man who never met him to claim to have written who didn't know their last names.
And Paul by the way- before he had that vision on the road to Damascus that only he saw and only he heard, Guess what his occupation was??? (Pause)
Do you know?!!
He was a bounty hunter!!!
A hunter! Of Christians!! Hunting them down like animals!! And binding them and bringing them to where?!!
To Rome so that they could be Executed.
Now if Hitler after killing thousands of Jews says to on the road to Berlin he had a vision
That he was named an apostle to the Jews and he wrote 20 books that all the Jews suppose to follow Do you think they would be following that book?
I don't understand how people just don't read history.
This is not what Khalid said so don't get angry with me. This is your own scriptures your Own bibles scholars your own church fathers all of them agree! That Paul never met Jesus Christ (PBUH).
That John, Luke, Mark and Mathew never met Jesus Christ (PBUH).
By the way they were not disciples.
Nor were they talkers and walkers of the disciples, they were just writers and historians.
From the lecture of Former African-American Christian: Sheikh Khalid Yasin
I post this video link not to offend, but to enlighten. It provides another perspective of religion according to history. If you are Christian, you probably won't like the first 40 minutes. It details how the figure of Jesus was a repackaging of the old sun gods. It's almost 2 hours long, but it is worth the time to watch. There are other bits and pieces that are very good. I am not implying that it is the "truth" but it does serve as a sort of "wake up call" that all may not be as we believe both politically and religously. If you do not feel it is appropriate, feel free to delete it. Personally, the jury is still out in my brain on it. I'm not sure what to make of some of it.
Well, I'm going to admit to NOT watching a 40 minute video, let alone 2 hours. I've seen and read many of these presentations before. But I will allow that there are elements of pagan sun god worship that have been adopted into Christianity in the same way that the existing pagan moon god worship was repackaged into Islam. Of course, Islam isn't really about the worship of the moon god any more than Christianity is about the worship of old sun gods.
but you are not the first muslim to give me a youtube homework assignment or egregiously long website rant about 'hidden history.'
i've not heard anything new (and therefore nothing convincing) concerning 'mithra' or the separate religion centered around sol invictus. when you look into the actual history of both religions (imperial cult in the case of SI) you do not see any significant connections... this is as simple as a searching for their respective wikipedia entries.
there is a good deal of misinformation and false history both about Christianity and about these two religions, it seems to mostly come from islamic and other anti Christian sources. on their face i do not consider islamic opinions regarding christianity or christian history valid... they're not genuine intellectual inquests but rather deceptions to convince me of the validity of islam, by attempting to establish invalidity of christianity.
usually they center on elaborate yet formulaic conspiracy theories with evil plots by St. Paul, Constantine, 'the pagans' or 'the Jews' attempting to inject 'paganism' into Christianity... which on it's face it just seems ridiculous, but when i read the quran it made a lot more sense...
the book is filled with constant warnings and manic fears about polytheists... i suppose with such a view of the world it is easy to believe polytheists are secretly responsible for everything from mesothelioma to world wars.
but regardless of why there is this preoccupation with injecting grand conspiracies into Christian history (since i don't really care why), it does greatly diminish the value i attach to muslims' opinions of christianity or christian history. generally when they want to talk about Christianity i groan and try to find something else to discuss...
it is a bit like the man on the bus who wears the tinfoil hat and insists with great tenacity that the government attempts to read his brainwaves, and with equal tenacity insists that you must listen to everything he tells you about this during the entire length of your bus trip.
Had the non-believer known of all the Mercy which is in the Hands of Allah, he would not lose hope of entering Paradise, and had the believer known of all the punishment which is present with Allah, he would not consider himself safe from the Hell-Fire http://www.muftimenk.co.za/Downloads.html
