“How Was Jesus Muslim Before Islam?” Christian Woman ROASTS Muslim Debater LIVE!

Was Jesus actually a Muslim? That is the bold claim at the center of this intense Christian versus Muslim discussion from the Dr. Daff Show, hosted by Dr. Daff, where one Muslim debater named Kora sits down with a room full of Christian women to defend a series of prompts about Islam, Christianity, and the nature of God. In this particular exchange, the focus is on whether Jesus can rightly be called a Muslim, and it quickly becomes one of the sharpest back and forth moments of the entire conversation. Kora opens from the Islamic perspective, arguing that every prophet from Adam to Muhammad submitted to the one true God, which by the Islamic definition would make them all Muslims in the lowercase sense of the word, meaning one who submits to God. The Christian panelists push back immediately on two fronts. First, they raise the timeline problem, arguing that Jesus cannot belong to a religion that formally arrived around 600 years after his life, death, and what Christians believe was his resurrection and ascension. Second, they draw a distinction between a lowercase muslim, meaning a submitter to God, and an uppercase Muslim, meaning a follower of the religion of Islam who prays toward Mecca and follows the Quran, and they argue Jesus never taught what Islam teaches. The heart of the exchange is the question of fatherhood. The Christians argue that Jesus taught his followers to pray to God as Father, yet Islam rejects the idea of God being a father. Kora responds that Allah does not reject fatherhood in every sense, only in the ontological sense, meaning the idea that a son proceeds from the essence of God. This leads into a detailed discussion about metaphorical versus literal fatherhood, and whether God can be called Father in the sense of creator and sustainer. The debate then moves into a fascinating exchange about abrogation. Kora compares the possible retirement of the title Father to the Old Testament, where God tells his people to stop calling him Baal. T
