الرد على داعية اسلامي بخصوص النقد النصي للعهد الجديد

The following is my Youtube video I recorded some seven years ago, wherein I respond, in Modern Standard Arabic, to an Egyptian Muslim da’wa guy’s video found here.

Basically, this guy, one Wisam ‘Abdallah, calls the now-reposed Chaldean Catholic Bishop, Mar Sarhad Jammo, may he rest in peace, non-consensually records him, and then proceeds to offer some terrible arguments against Christianity in a passive-aggressive manner.

I proceed to dismantle his arguments one by one. The subject matter and arguments I discuss in the video revolve around issues of New Testament Textual Criticism (e.g., the so-called Johannine Comma).

For a number of reasons, I took the video down many years ago and am only now putting it back up. I no longer consider myself a Christian, but I still believe that all the arguments I make in the video are sound. Bad arguments against Christianity are simply bad arguments against Christianity, regardless of whether Christianity is true or not.

Importantly, I should add that I am a secular person who has studied Christianity from a historical critical perspective; so I believe that there are good arguments against Christianity. However, I believe that there are absolutely no good arguments against Christianity that come from the field of New Testament textual criticism—none whatsoever. From a textual critical perspective, the twenty-seven books of the New Testament are some of the best-attested texts in ancient antiquity.

In any case, Arabic speakers may find my response video to be profitable.
