definition of sitdown argument [or sit-down sit-down]

While I am just starting now to answer some questions and to make statements regarding, you know, the subject in the title of the web page, I need this definition online so nobody can steal it. So please ignore this post, it is just a formality:

Definition of:
SITDOWN ARGUMENT

-also known as sit-down argument

-an argument that is so potent that the opposition is better off just sitting down and shutting their mouth before they embarrass themselves.

Why assume Unitarianism?

Trinitarian apologists claim that assuming Unitarianism, the belief that God is one entity, is not a must assumption, and that the concept of God one God must allow, or this door cannot be closed, that there may be multiple persons in the being of God. must not exclude that the oneGod may be three persons in one being.

This is usually brought up in debates in which the trinity (or who Jesus is) is defended or attacked by one side of an argument.

The fact of the matter is that Unitarianism must be assumed unless evidence otherwise is given. If God can be a being shared by three persons, such as in the Trinity of Christianity, then there can be no basis for puting any limitations on the nunmber of persons who share eternal

The doctrine of the Trinity is simply that there is one eternal being of God - indivisible, infinite. This one being of God is shared by three co-equal, co-eternal persons, the Father, the Son, and the Spirit.

Preliminary information on issues related to non-Muslim attacks

I will try to be as brief as possible. I will start audio commentaries on debates/classes or writings answering objections to Islam. Just as an FYI, I consider the following a preliminary list of names of leading non-Muslim apologists:
William L. Craig of Reasonable Faith.org
James White of aomin.org (Alpha and Omega Ministries),
Michael R. Licona : Associate Professor in Theology at Houston Baptist University and the director of Risen Jesus, Inc.
Ravi Zacharias: RZIM.org
Dr. Michael Brown: AskDrBRown.org
Dinesh D’Souza

James White from aomin.org (Alpha and Omega Ministries)
William Lane Craig: Reasonable Faith.org
Michael R. Licona
Associate Professor in Theology at Houston Baptist University and the director of Risen Jesus, Inc.
Ravi Zacharias: RZIM.org
Dr. Michael Brown: AskDrBRown.org
Dinesh D’Souza : Conservative political commentator

Dr.James White is constantly being attacked by even Christians. However I consider him to be the most fair and honest Christian apologist out there. Probably the majority of my work will hopefully God willing be interacting with him and his material from writings,blogs, and debates.

A new mission/focus

The religion of Islam is under severe scrutiny  at this moment. If you are in the world of podcasts/youtube debates/twitter/facebook you probably already  know this. I have decided to dedicate much more time to clarifying issues and objections raised against Islam, and topics closely related to it. My largest focus will be 2 subjects: answering critics/criticisms against Islam, and answering questions about Islam. Regarding the latter I am in contact with scholars who will help me or check what I write since I am not a trained scholar by any University or Program. What I know is from what I have read from my teachers and in regards to other religions, what I have heard on youtube or their own writings or podcasts. For example, William L. Craig, who is considered by many to be the most prominent Christian Apologist in the English speaking world,  has audio lessons of classes, debates available online, podcasts, books and more. In one's studies one must be fair and seek clarification regarding issues from all the resources the person has made available to answer any particular issue. My next post will contain information about where I get my information on Islam, and also introductory information regarding Christian apologist attacks, and attacks on Islam from those that come from other traditions.  Sorry for the long post!

Some Quick Comments on the Books of Religion

If  you have been following apologetics these days, you can't help but to have come across the works of some of the most talented Christian Apologists,such as William Lane Craig,

Question from Jason in Dallas

Question: I wanna know and understand how a book can come 600 years after the crucifiction and contradict our historical sources which all attest to the fact that Jesus was Crucified by Pilate?

Thank you for posing this question. I am going to give you a quick answer, and you can read more about this specific issue in an essay I am writing. Anyway, now to the question. Muslims believe that the Quran was revealed by God to the Prophet (pbuh). So the number of years makes no difference. It could have been 600 or 6000 years after the event, and there would be no problem, as it was God the Almighty who has stated this. So the question itself is really a simple minded objection. I am not saying you are simple minded, but when Christian apologists use this objection, knowing full well that Muslims believe the Quran to be the word of God should have been enough to cause a refrain in posing such a weak objection. Thats the short answer. The long answer dealing with this and many other issues related to it will be in a short essay that will be put on the site at a later date. I hope this answers your question. If you have any additional questions please let me know.

Peace and Regards,
