The Trinity, the Cross, and the Bible: A Muslim Friend's Three Objections

In this episode of Resilient Faith, Young Ho and Eddie try something new: a live roleplay of the conversation many of us might be uncomfortable to have. Eddie, who came out of Islam himself and now trains workers for the Muslim world, plays a Muslim friend raising the three objections he hears most often. Young Ho plays an everyday believer, unscripted and unprepared, doing his best to respond.

Together they work through the three big barriers a Muslim friend will likely bring up: the claim that Christians worship three gods, the Quran's denial that Jesus was crucified, and the charge that the Bible has been corrupted. After each exchange they stop to debrief, so you hear not just what to say, but why, and where a conversation like this can go sideways.

The heart of it is simple. The goal is never to win the argument. It is to keep bringing the conversation back to Jesus. And as Eddie reminds us at the close, without love, none of our answers matter.
