Who is Christ? | Rev. Andrew Lobban & Dr. Ali Ataie
Rev. Andrew Lobban and Dr. Ali Ataie examine the role of Jesus, son of Mary (peace and blessings be upon him), in the Bible and Christian theology and contrasts with his role in the Qur’an and Islamic theology.
Ahead of the holiday season, this event is intended to show, that despite religious differences and worldwide turmoil, people of faith can always find common ground.
Patricia Munro (speaking independently as a Jew) & Edlyn Aisha Sammanasu (MCC) opened the program with a few words about the ever-present need to connect faith traditions for mutual compassion.
This program was sponsored by Saint Bartholomew’s Episcopal Church in Livermore and the Muslim Community Center - East Bay in Pleasanton.

This Reverend is very honest. I pray that Allah guides him to the truth.
Dr. Ali Ataie, a gem to the muslim umah. Love him for the sake of Allah swt.
Dr. Ali Ataie is such a gem! Absolutely inspiring!
I so much respect the reverend for his honesty. May Allah guide him to the way of Jesu; i.e Islam. Ameen
I love these Interfaith Dialoques where Dr. Ali Ataie shares his amazing knowledge of biblical/Quranic hermeneutics. But seriously, why hasnt Ali Ataie written a book refuting Christian theology or at the very least the case for Quranic Christology? It would be the best seller no questions asked.

It is very interesting that when the good reverend explains Deutoronomy 18:15-18, he acknowledges that the christians have always understood that this is referring to Jesus. And Jesus is clearly is referred to in this verses as a prophet. SubhanAllah. May the Almighty guide us to the straight path and may He unite the believers.
“At that time Jesus answered and said, “I thank You, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that You have hidden these things from the wise and prudent and have revealed them to babes. Even so, Father, for so it seemed good in Your sight. All things have been delivered to Me by My Father, and no one knows the Son except the Father. Nor does anyone know the Father except the Son, and the one to whom the Son wills to reveal Him. Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.” Matthew 11:25-30
