An impressive video featuring erudite contributions by two Muslims who have an excellent grasp of the subject.

However, I think everyone featured in the video is correct, to a greater or lesser extent. Jonathan is surely correct (in my view) to argue that Thomas worships Jesus as ‘God’ (though the word needs to be carefully defined). The Muslim speakers are correct that in Luke ‘worship’ can mean simply ‘reverence’. But Luke and John are quite different gospels with different Christologies. They do not necessarily agree on all things.
