#12892 Answering Islamic Objections to Christianity - William Albrecht

If Jesus is truly God, how could He die on the cross? In this episode of Catholic Answers Live, Catholic Answers apologists respond to major Islamic objections to the divinity, humanity, and crucifixion of Christ. They explain how Jesus could experience hunger, exhaustion, temptation, and limitations in knowledge while remaining fully divine, and address whether it was unjust for the innocent Christ to suffer for the sins of others. The discussion also examines the Islamic claim that Jesus was not actually crucified, whether the “prophet like Moses” in Deuteronomy 18 refers to Muhammad rather than Jesus, and whether Jesus’ promise of the Paraclete predicts Muhammad. Finally, they address the claim that Muhammad could be identified as the Son of Man.
