For basically the entire Skypecast, it was really busy. We had good conversations with quite a few Muslims, and some Atheists.
When Josh was talking to one Muslim fellow from the UK, he brought up the serious error in the Qur'an regarding Jesus' crucifixion. For in Surah 4:157 it says: "That they said (in boast), "We killed Christ Jesus the son of Mary, the Messenger of Allah";- but they killed him not, nor crucified him, but so it was made to appear to them, and those who differ therein are full of doubts, with no (certain) knowledge, but only conjecture to follow, for of a surety they killed him not" (Yusuf Ali).
Josh pointed out that the only one that is powerful enough to make someone appear as someone else is Allah, so therefore Allah deceived multitudes of people, and thus damned to Hell billions from then on who believe that Jesus died on the cross. How could someone believe in a God that deceives like that? Josh asked the man a question, "How do you know that Allah is not deceiving you when he gave you the Qur'an?" The man didn't know how to answer.
It was a great night with hundreds of people listening in.
Since Skype has now closed their Skypecasts for the immediate future, that means that there will not be any further Operation 513 Skypecasts for the time being. We may continue running this outreach using alternative platforms in the future, but we will let you know if we do.
To God be the glory!
