talking about these characters in very different ways that if you don't know about, say, where these sources are coming from, if you're not looking into the infancy narratives, then you're like, well, what is this? Like, this is confusing. Is this more information? Is this right information? And so...

Now, later in life, in my formal education, digging into some of those things and figuring out, okay, well, here's how we trace those sources. Here's the paper trail. Here's how we can connect those dots between where potentially the author of the Quran was actually getting them from. That's when I did a lot of that legwork.

But originally, I was reading the Quran, and I found it unusual, but I also found it did not accurately reflect things that I was looking for to answer the ultimate questions. Questions of like meaning and purpose and morality.

Yeah, I would routinely meet with Muslims, especially in like my university years. There were times where every Ramadan, my Muslim friends were reading the Quran. And so I would read the Quran alongside them. So we would read the entirety of the Quran during the time of Ramadan. And I would use that as an opportunity both to learn, but also to kind of, I wanted to be an example to them.

So when you were talking about my attitude in the way that I approached my conversation with Billy, That's been my attitude all along in that I'm part of an organization that does Christian apologetics.

Yeah, so it's in Canada, Apologetics Canada. But apologetics is just a word that means to give it a reason or to give a defense. And it comes from a passage in 1 Peter 3.15, which says, but in your hearts, revere Christ as Lord, always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have.

But then it's the last part in that verse that I think is just as important.

Not just be prepared to give an answer, but Peter says, but in your hearts, revere Christ as Lord, always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks for the reason that you have, but do so with gentleness and respect, keeping a clear conscience so that those who speak maliciously against your good behavior in Christ will be ashamed of their slander.

And I think when we approach these conversations, whether we're talking to you know, agnostics, atheists, Mormons, Muslims, for someone like myself who claims to be a Christian, if I'm only giving answers,

but I'm not revering Christ as Lord in my heart, and those answers aren't done so with gentleness and respect, keeping a clear conscience, then I'm not actually obeying that command in Scripture to give an answer. Because it needs to be sandwiched in between those two things.
