The Qur’an makes the claim that Jesus was never killed or crucified — but did you know there’s another verse that seems to say the exact opposite? In this video, I take a close look at a passage in Surah 2 that appears to reference Jesus’ death directly — and how removing a single inserted word, “almost”, changes the meaning completely. As I’ve been reading through the Qur’an and its commentary, I’ve found some fascinating tensions that invite deeper conversation about what Islam actually teaches. From a Christian apologetic perspective, we’ll explore how this verse connects to the heart of the Gospel — that Jesus truly died and rose again — and why that truth is essential to understanding who He really is. This video isn’t about attacking Islam; it’s about searching for truth, building understanding, and strengthening our confidence in the historical reality of Jesus’ death and resurrection. 📖 Explore more resources: https://www.pastoraj.com/ 👉 Connect with me: @pastorajplatt Sign up for weekly emails: https://us14.list-manage.com/subscribe?u=f2077100acce65de1cbc17981&id=d2a2584906 Get extra content through ministry partnership: https://www.pastoraj.com/plans-pricing Give to Pastor AJ's Gospel Ministries: https://subsplash.com/u/-XS9Q4B/give Get "End-Times?

Did you know that Islam claims Jews and Christians are divided and constantly arguing over small issues? In this video, I take a closer look at that claim and show why it doesn’t match reality. Instead of pointing to endless disputes, the Bible highlights the unity that comes through Jesus Christ, His resurrection, and the reliability of God’s Word. From a Christian apologetic perspective, I’ll contrast what Islam teaches with the truth of the Gospel. My goal isn’t to attack, but to encourage thoughtful, respectful dialogue that helps us see more clearly the hope and salvation that only Christ provides. 📖 Read more blogs & resources: https://www.pastoraj.com/ 👉 Connect with me everywhere: @pastorajplatt Sign up for weekly emails: https://us14.list-manage.com/subscribe?u=f2077100acce65de1cbc17981&id=d2a2584906 Get extra content through ministry partnership: https://www.pastoraj.com/plans-pricing Give to Pastor AJ's Gospel Ministries: https://subsplash.com/u/-XS9Q4B/give Get "End-Times?

We live in a world where conversations between Christians and Muslims are happening more often than ever. In this video, I’m beginning a new series where I take a closer look at Islam from a Christian apologetic perspective. My goal is to show how the Bible’s reliability and the resurrection of Jesus set it apart in a way that brings true hope and salvation. I’ll be talking about the Quran, Muhammad, and the history of Mecca—contrasting them with the historical strength and infallibility of the Bible. I’m not here to attack, but to encourage honest, respectful dialogue that helps us see the beauty of the Gospel more clearly. 📖 Read more blogs & resources: https://www.pastoraj.com/ 👉 Connect with me everywhere: @pastorajplatt Sign up for weekly emails: https://us14.list-manage.com/subscribe?u=f2077100acce65de1cbc17981&id=d2a2584906 Get extra content through ministry partnership: https://www.pastoraj.com/plans-pricing Give to Pastor AJ's Gospel Ministries: https://subsplash.com/u/-XS9Q4B/give Get "End-Times?

If you've ever studied REFORMED THEOLOGY, you may have been told the only time FAITH ALONE is mentioned in the Bible is when James says we are NOT justified by faith alone 😱 ... but maybe the solution to this apparent CONTRADICTION between Reformation theology and the Bible ISN'T in our understanding of justification but of FAITH 🤔 Obedience of Faith Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xt5fI90mRMM Justification in the Apostolic Fathers Video: https://youtu.be/ZAxStxU4VBo Pastor AJ: pastoraj.com Sign up for weekly emails: https://us14.list-manage.com/subscribe?u=f2077100acce65de1cbc17981&id=d2a2584906 Get extra content through ministry partnership: https://www.pastoraj.com/plans-pricing Give to Pastor AJ's Gospel Ministries: https://subsplash.com/u/-XS9Q4B/give Get "End-Times?
