Notes on Lecture by Sheikh Ahmed Deedat

and I would like to tell you that a Christian is one that's repented of their sins and AC accepted the Lord Jesus Christ as their Savior and Lord and very clearly if you take the time tonight very clearly you will find that Grace is expounded there Grace comes through Jesus Christ by faith which we put into it Jesus made wine do you drink wine I ask you are you circumcised I'm asking you are you circumcised I I don't think you know I have to answer this question you Pig you eat pigs yes right did Jesus eat the pig no he destroyed 2,000 [Music] pigs in shik akmed D's compelling lecture Muhammad the greatest that was delivered in Durban South Africa this insightful presentation explores the unparalleled stature of Prophet Muhammad in the world it was a fiery deection of why Prophet Muhammad stands unrivaled as the greatest figure in history as usual this lecture aslo culminating in an engaging Q&A session in this segment we will see how shik didat subdued two white missionaries who worked as a team and they took an unfair advantage of shik DT's lecture to spread Christianity to the Muslim audience who watched the lecture I would like you to explain to everybody what your idea of a Christian is because in your lecture you referred to the Reverend Jim Jones imply that he was a reverend implying that he was a Christian when you refer to people of different uh denominations like the anglian and the DRC and so on you are implying to all these folk that they are Christians but I just would like to tell you what a Christian is a Christian is a person not in a denomination not necessarily in a denomination let me put it you that way I would also like to tell you that the Christian of 1984 today condemns the Deeds of the the Reverend Jim Jones outright and I would like to tell you that a Christian is one that's repented of their sins and AC accepted the Lord Jesus Christ as their Savior and Lord and is making every effort to walk in his way and imp and employing his will in their lives sorry can we can we come back to your question just repeat your question yeah no no I think I understood right you see the the question was about who is a Christian according to the definition given it say the Christian is not supposed to belong to any denomination that's our brother said no denomination so the Roman Catholics numbering some 700 million among the the so-called Christians now he won't accept them that mean they not Christians the DRC belongs to a denomination the Dutch Reformed Church supposed to belong to a denomination so they are not Christians he said they don't belong to any denomination the Jehovah's Witnesses are not Christians the 7 Day Adventist are not Christians the christadelphians are not Christians so I want to know Lu as far as I'm concerned I'm not that intolerant if you tell me that you are a Christian I accept you never mind what label you apply on yourself whatever label you give is not my business you say you're a Christian you accept this Bible as your book of authority you said yes I can talk to you whether you are a Jehovah's Witness whether you are a 7-Day Adventist whether you are a Mormon whatever you are if you say you are a Christian as far as I'm concerned I will treat you as a Christian may I answer you on this now not answer I want you to now contradict me to say that these people the Dutch Reformed Church are not Christians no I did not according to your definition now you putting words in my mouth sir I said to you that a Christian does not necessarily belong to any denomination you I've already given you my but you say now these the the Roman Catholics are they Christians a Roman Catholic who has committed his life to Jesus Christ and repented of his sins can be a Christian I'm not here to condemn anybody I'm here to say my definition of a Christian as the Bible uh describes what a person must do to become a Christian that is what the Jehovah's Witness say they say that you are not Christian they say you are a pagan I'm not saying that the Jehovah's Witness say you are a trinitarian and as such you are a worshiper of three Gods am I right that's what the Jehovah's Witness say about you I'm not here to answer for what the Jehovah's Witness is saying look they tell me that you are not a Christian am I to accept their words against yours you must read the Bible and see what the Bible says about a Christian but look the Jehovah's Witness they are very great readers of the Bible they read the Bible more than any other sector denomination but which Bible do they read they printed their own Bible right but I want you to discuss what the uh I mean the Jehovah's so will you will you not accept them as Christians if a Jehovah's Witness comes to repentance and accepts Jesus Christ into his life then he is a Christian well that's what he claims so if they claim what you are claiming for yourself and that is my definition of a Christian right to me you say you are a Christian I accept you that other guy says he's a Christian whoever says he's a Christian as far as I'm concerned I'm there to to deal with it the christianization mission of the questioner was seen when he repeatedly invited the entire audience including Muslims to read the Bible for no apparent reason as well as comparing the prophet Muhammad with Jesus Christ by giving some opinions as if Prophet Muhammad was unable to provide salvation for humans while Jesus Christ came for giving the eternal life I just would like to justify one thing um You didn't say that he Reed more Epistles or wrote more Epistles but I put it down here he said Grace the teaching of Grace is Pauline not from the others that's what you said is it correct so and I think you know that is according to scripture not correct because in First Peter we read very clearly that Peter writes here in 1 Peter 1:3 praise be to the God and father of our Lord Jesus Christ in his great Mercy he has given us a new birth into the Living Hope um through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead Etc here very clearly in this whole passage and I would like to encourage all the whole audience to read the letters of Peter who was one of the closest of Jesus followers as well as the letters of John and very clearly if you take the time tonight very clearly you will find that Grace is expounded there Grace comes through Jesus Christ by faith which we put into it it's not just poine this is this is the trouble you see I said anytime we have a conflict with our Christian Brethren is either Paul Paul Paul now Peter I want to know what does Jesus say you see this is the problem is I said look Jesus says I talking about your Lord and Master Jesus Christ he says verily verily I say unto you you listening brother you can't be listening while you turning the pages please the human mind can't do two things at the same time Jesus says verily verily I say unto you except your righteousness exceed the righteousness of the scribes and the Pharisees ye shall by no means enter the Kingdom of Heaven there's no heaven for you unless you are better than the Jew and how can you be better than the Jew by not keeping the laws and the commandments so now you say the law is nailed to the cross I ask you are you circumcised you say no I'm talking about the generality of Christian maybe for constriction of some other reason sickness you might have been circumcised but as religiously are you circumcised I'm asking you are you circumcised I I don't think you know I have to answer this question right you no the thing is you are not circumcised the Christian says he's not circumcised because he's not bound by the law he is not bound by the law I said where did you get that so he's going to quote Corinthians and Philippians and Galatians and Peter and James I said what does your Jesus say Jesus says one jot or one title shall in no wise pass from the law till all be fulfilled so can't you see we are at loggerheads because I am following Jesus the master whatever the master says we say we agree we accept because the master was teaching nothing other than Islam keep the laws and the Commandments believe in God and this is what he told a Jew very beautifully a learned man of the Jew comes to Jesus and he says good master what good thing must I do to gain eternal life for Jenna Heaven what must I do so Jesus says why callest thou me good there is none good except one that is God he doesn't deserve to be called even good according to him there's only one good that is God but but are you listening brother but if thou will enter into life keep the Commandments salvation comes by keeping the laws and the Commandments he says he's not of me who does not take his cross and follow me take up your cross and follow me I want to know whether you're following him are you yes you are you eat the pig you eat pigs yes right did Jesus eat the pig no he destroyed 2,000 pigs but the Christian they are all Pig eaters now and you say you're following him Jesus was circumcised was he you follow him are you circumcised he says no you say you're following him you see you are accepting words with words I I think we split hairs here Jesus made wine do you drink wine Jesus drank wine did you do you drink wine there was no law let's be fair let's be fair we don't split no no you you you are to follow him Mr D I think we must be fair here and I think time is running out running you have got a very good point when you say here for I tell you that unless your righteous exceeds or surpasses that of the Pharisees who were the most religious and the most sorrow people the Pharisees that said you see who those who keep the LA to the dot no one else like Mr D he is the most perfect Muslim perhaps in the country but Jesus says if you surpass your righteousness you must surpass the righteousness where how can you surpass the righteousness the young man you quot it now he said keep the law he said the young man said but I am perfect I'm like the Pharisees I have kept everything what did Jesus says there is something in your heart which is not right that's your wealth and he said sell this Wells and then and come and follow me that is to follow Jesus how to become more than a Pharisees how to be how to become righteous to follow Jesus thank you he he explained to the Christians his followers how to be better than the Jew he just didn't leave it in the air making beautiful statements he said when you fast now his disciples the Christians if they are his followers when you fast do not fast as the Hypocrites do how you can be better than the Jew the Jew was fasting he was praying he was giving charity he was straight jacketing his life but you are supposed to be better than that which way Jesus explains he said when you you fast do not fast as the Hypocrites do they do not wash their faces and they don't brush their hair who the Jews to be seen of men in other words with mck in their eyes I think you better tell this young man to sit down please yes please tell him to sit down we had enough of him already yeah with muck in their eyes you know gloomy feeling is said what strong Uncle so I said I'm fasting see leaves the impression that Mr dad is a very Pious religious man out of season and in season is fasting so he says no no no you when you fast you must wash your face and brush your hair of a happy countenance nobody knows that you're fasting because you're fasting for the love of God so you can be better than the Jew by doing that but on a higher level the Jews when they committed adultery they were guilty you my followers Jesus says if the thought goes through your mind whosoever look upon a woman to lust after her had committed adultery with already in his heart so no beauty contest for you no long leg contest for you this is what he means better than the Jew you keep the laws but on a higher level when you give charity the Jews made a big noise say you know so and so his wife was in hospital child birth and he couldn't bail her out I had to help him with 250 RS I tell the whole world you know I helped him I helped brother 250 rounds I gave so I'm boo my ego at his expense so Jesus says no when you give what your left hand gives your right hand must know can you see so he's explaining to you every step how you can be better than the Jew not by not keeping the laws and the Commandments but by keeping the laws and the Commandments on a higher spiritual level which the Christian is only accepting words by words they say you accept you follow him he said I follow him I said which way are you following him you don't look like him you don't behave behave like him you your diet is not like his in everything he's just the opposite of what you have been doing if he comes along in his second coming I'm telling our Christian brethren in the Free State and if they recognize him what they going to do with him take him home and a pig on the spit they're going to prise it for him he's going to warm it can you see so in other words look he will be most uncomfortable with you but if he comes to my house any Muslim home you know my wife wife will be like his mother my children will be like his brothers and sisters if he had them he'll be more at home with me hygienically he'll be more like with me then with that our Mr Cunningham and the pot you remember is said Jesus will be wondering that can can of water you won't you haven't got it look he will be more at home with us than with you it is we who are following his teachings not the Christians because you quoted again Peter you quote Paul and Paul and Paul I said what did Jesus say please for goodness sake why didn't you tell me this is what Jesus said Jesus said the work is finished and the work is finished let me remind you
