‘Is the Bible the True Word of God?’ Stanley Sjöberg, Sheikh Ahmed Deedat, Debate, Video

Considering Christian viewpoint on a topic of this nature it is a challenge for Christian viewers to watch a three hour debate on the subject of ‘Is the Bible the True Word of God?’ and to put to test the very book that they believe in and give it a litmus test of science, logic and reason.

Given that the topic is controversial and requires patience it should be born in mind that the debaters Pastor Stanley Sjöberg and Sheikh Ahmad Deedat take rounds pounding one another with adequate points in trying to challenge the opponent with their analysis and scripture. In a crowded auditorium, full of patient and impatient followers of Christianity and Islam this is one debate that brings out a lot of emotions as one watches it.

One of the most interesting moments of this debate is when one of the Muslim questioners asks Pastor Stanley Sjöberg to consume poison to prove a biblical verse that should render him immune to the poison and hands a bottle full of ‘liquid’ to him to test his belief in Christian scripture. Like any wise man yet quite cheekily Pastor Stanley avoids the challenge and loses his temper. This is further revealed in his next debate with Sheikh Ahmad Deedat and says that he was angered by this action and accuses Sheikh Deedat of a few saucy allegations (watch ‘Is Jesus God?’ Stanley Sjöberg, Sheikh Ahmed Deedat, Debate, Video for another fiery battle of wits).

Our intention is to publish material that helps people discover true faith and though we take such encounters as amusing moments in this history of Christian-Muslim exchange there is a greater lesson to be learnt and a greater objective of trying to understand the true meaning of the scriptures of God Almighty, the last one, the last testament being the Holy Quran.
