The full debate between me and Lizzy, one of Jay Smith’s followers.
Christianity
Be prepared to be shocked.
Christians of my acquaintance repeatedly criticise the Quran for its alleged anti-woman bias when compared to the “enlightened teaching” of the Bible. But the truth, in fact, is quite the reverse. In this brilliant talk Dr Shabir Ally surveys the totally… Read More ›
Br. Paul VS Liz || TIMED DEBATE || “Jesus did MIRACLES by the power of GOD” || Speakers Corner
Here I debate one of Jay Smith’s disciples.
Professor J.R. Daniel Kirk talks about his book: A Man Attested by God
A fascinating conversation between New Testament scholar J.R. Daniel Kirk and Anthony Buzzard exploring the fact that the Jesus of the synoptic gospels can best be understood not as God but as an idealized human figure.
“A man who was merely a man and said the sort of things Jesus said would not be a great moral teacher. . . . You can shut him up for a fool, you can spit at him and kill him as a demon or you can fall at his feet and call him Lord and God.”
by J. R. Daniel Kirk These famous words by C. S. Lewis beautifully encapsulate the Christianity of my childhood. They underscore how central Jesus’s divinity has been to the church’s confession of faith for the past sixteen hundred years. And… Read More ›

Jesus is called the “Word of God” in Q 3:45, 64; 19:35.
It is noteworthy that no other Gospel refers to Jesus as “the Word;” it is an intertextuality that exists between and the Qur’an and the Gospel of John only. In Q 3:64, after a long section about Jesus (Q 3:42-63),… Read More ›
Jesus prophesied the coming of the Paraclete

‘Is JESUS GOD? The Bible Says NO’
An impressive new video asking some good questions: Just who is Jesus? What is his nature? God, man or both? This video examines some reasons from the Bible why Jesus cannot be God.

A no-brainer surely?
I’m not an Evangelical (obviously) but I was surprised by this question from Denny Burk, Professor of Biblical Studies at The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary
Christians performing ‘miracles’ today: you have a serious credibility problem. The video explains why.
I have made the same point to Christians who claim healing powers at Speakers’ Corner. I always invite them to visit St Mary’s Hospital up the road. They always decline. Most revealing!
