Speaker A
Right? So, when Jacob went to Egypt to join Joseph, how many people did he take?
Speaker A
70, right? But, if you just look in the New Testament, now you find then Joseph sent the call to his father Jacob and all the people of Joseph that went with him were 75. Mhm.
Speaker A
So, you see, it's a scribal error, right?
Speaker A
They made the error between the writings. But, that's a contradiction. That means this is not the pure preserved word of God.
Speaker A
So, what we believe in is what was originally revealed to Moses and taught by his people. We love it. But, when it got
Speaker A
added and when slavery got introduced and beating your slaves means you don't get punished because they're your property, as we see in the Old Testament, we don't believe those are the laws of God. We believe these were
Speaker A
people trying to write with their own hand and ascribe it to God, right? When we see in the New Testament the ideas of the oneness of God or the Ten Commandments, we're good with that.
Speaker A
But, when you see things like, you know, Jesus saying he's going to kill the children of Jezebel. Like, we don't believe that you kill the children of somebody for their sins. You see what I'm saying?
Speaker A
Mhm. Yeah. Exactly. Okay. So, we believe in the original message. And this is the Quran, the final preserved message. And I'll tell you one thing beautiful, and I got to go. You can ask any of these guys to recite some
Speaker A
of the chapters of the Quran and from their memory they recite it. Right? Right? Why? We memorize the entire Quran. Hundreds of thousands, maybe millions around the Muslim world, word by word, letter by letter, so nobody can come and do what they did with the
Speaker A
Bible. Like you see the Catholics have their own books like the Book of Tobit that are not in the Protestant or the Ethiopian Bibles, 88 additional books.
Speaker A
The Jehovah's Witnesses have the New World Translation that has taken verses out and added things. Um, obviously the Latter-Day Saints have the Book of Mormon and the DNC and Book of Abraham, Book of Moses that are not in the
Speaker A
Protestant canon, right? Right. But as Muslims, we have one Quran. Go anywhere in the world from Al-Fatiha to An-Nas, 114 chapters, 30 juz.
Speaker A
Got you. Okay. Appreciate you. What's your name? Tyrone. Tyrone, nice talking. If you have any more questions, here's a card. We'd be more than happy to talk.
Speaker A
And what's your name? Othman. Othman. Yes. Okay. Nice to meet you. Have a good day, Tyrone.
Speaker A
Well, Islam, we believe in one God. We don't believe you worship anybody but the one true God. We don't believe in worshipping prophets like Jesus or Moses or Abraham. We don't believe in worshipping saints or graves or rocks.
Speaker A
Just the one big great creator that created everybody. We love Jesus. We believe Jesus was a true prophet. As you can see, we have a sign Jesus was a Muslim. Today, I worship the same God that Jesus worshipped. You feel me?
