Debating the Christology in Q and Early Christian Texts - a Conversation with​ ‪@Deenresponds‬ ​

In this video, we host a dialogue with Deen regarding the Christology in early Christian texts, particularly focusing on the hypothetical gospel source 'Q'. The discussion covers the interpretation of whether Jesus is portrayed as God in 'Q', a comparison with other early Christian sources like Mark, Matthew, Luke, John, and Paul's writings, and whether those portrayals align with Islamic views. Finally, we touch on the credibility of various testimonies and the methodology in establishing religious textual interpretations.
