**Topics:** Christians and other faiths; The second coming of Jesus

**Summary (not a quotation; machine-made, unchecked):** The second coming is central to Christianity, and the New Testament's picture of Jesus returning as a judge matches what the hadith say.

**Checked position (checked by two independent reviews, not by the channel):** Mufti Abu Layth says the second coming is perhaps the second most important Christian belief, on which Christianity rose, and that the hadith's picture of Jesus returning as a judge matches the New Testament.

**Evidence, his words at 39:52:** “this belief guys about the second coming of Jesus is so important in Christianity it is perhaps the second most important belief in Christianity it is on the back of this belief that Christianity rose” (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NHzYu3BKBWE&t=2392s)

## Longer summary

Mufti Abu Layth says the second coming is perhaps the second most important belief in Christianity and that Christianity rose on the back of it, whereas the virgin birth was not central: he says the Gospel of Matthew does not accept it, Paul did not, and the Church made it part of belief only two or three hundred years after Jesus. He says the New Testament speaks of the return so often that almost one verse in twenty-five concerns it, and that it repeatedly says the Son of God will come back as a judge over Jew and Gentile, which he says is exactly what the hadith say when they call Jesus a just judge, hakaman adlan. He explains that for Christians Jesus must return because he had yet to fulfil his mission of making people believe in him and to rule the world.

[39:30] islam ought to be you ought to kind of really ponder yourself and write so if that's the case why do you want me to blind following this issue why do you want to intimidate people into embracing this issue because if Islam says you can't intimidate other people into believing things then why and if you say no but that's only for Allah but we can intimidate for the rest of faith that's absurd it doesn't make any sense so just to kind of clarify that's an important point we also need to understand this belief guys about the second coming of

[40:07] Jesus is so important in Christianity it is perhaps the second most important belief in Christianity it is on the back of this belief that Christianity rose if you don't believe me go do your research because the believe it or not things like the virgin birth Jesus having a Mary having a virgin birth are not actually that important in Christianity contrary to what many people think they're actually not hence many early Christians didn't even believe in that the Gospel of Matthew doesn't accept the

[40:45] virgin birth the Saint Paul didn't even accept things like that it was only two three hundred years after Jesus that the Christian Church made the virgin birth a part of its belief but this Jesus coming back was so important for Christianity what through the Bible what does the Bible say the New Testament the New Testament speaks so much about this that people have written almost 1 out of every 25 verses is speaking about this and do you know what they keep saying when Jesus comes do you know what they

[41:25] say he will do this is so many verses in the gospel that when the Son of God comes back that he will judge he will come back as a judge he will come back to judge to judge you and Gentile to judge over mankind to judge over which by the way is exactly what these hadith say he's gonna come as a judge yawns aloof eekum Hackerman Hackerman Adalind mocks it and he will come as a judge judge judge this is exactly what the Bible says time and time again right now it's also important to understand

[42:03] why is Jesus coming back according to the Christians because he had to he was yet to fulfill his mission of making people believe in him he had to do this year to rule the world and hence st. John in his gospel says that he believes Jesus is gonna come back in his own lifetime now Jews believe a messiah is gonna come because he has to establish the kingdom of David Christians believe Jesus has to come back to do that why do muslims believe jesus is gonna come back when we believe that the prophet muhammed sallalahu lives and completed his message why you know when you ask this
