Muslim Preacher Manipulates Elderly Christian & Gets Exposed!

In a recent street exchange, Shaykh Uthman Ibn Farooq filmed himself supposedly “schooling” an elderly Christian man.

But what the camera revealed was less of a genuine debate and more of someone taking advantage of a vulnerable person—an older gentleman with limited English, who clearly wasn’t equipped to respond sharply in the moment.

Still, the issues raised in that dialogue are ones Christians need to be ready to address. Questions like: Did Jesus really know everything? Was He lying in Mark 13? What about the stoning of adulterers in the Bible? And can God ever lie?

Let’s walk through these one at a time.

Did Jesus Know Everything?

One of the first passages Shaykh Uthman raised was Mark 13:32:

“But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father.” – Mark 13:32

He pressed the Christian man:

“If Jesus didn’t know the day of His return, how can He be God?”

This verse has been twisted countless times. Yet when read in context, it makes perfect sense. In the verses leading up to this statement, Jesus describes events that would happen in the last days. He then explains that the exact hour of His return is known only by the Father.

Why? In Jewish wedding culture, it was the father’s role to announce when his son would return for the bride. The groom prepared a place, but the father gave the signal. This wasn’t about the son’s ignorance—it was about honor and authority.

His return is certain, and the timing rests in the Father’s hand. Share on X

Was Jesus Lying?

Shaykh Uthman then pressed harder:

“If Jesus said He didn’t know, was He lying?”

The Christian man says yes. But what true Christian would confess that Jesus lied?

The Bible is absolutely clear on this point:

“God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?” – Numbers 23:19

If Jesus is God in the flesh—and He is—then His words in Mark 13 are not a falsehood. They reflect His role within the plan of redemption, not a defect in His deity.

It is tragic to see someone saying “Jesus lied” when the real issue was simply poor communication and manipulation in the discussion.

The Woman Caught in Adultery

At another point, the Christian man pointed out something powerful. He spoke about how Muslims in some places still stone adulterers, but Jesus showed a different way.

This referred to John 8, when the Pharisees brought before Jesus a woman caught in adultery:

“He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.” – John 8:7

One by one, the accusers dropped their stones and walked away. Jesus then told the woman, “Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.”

This elderly man, though not eloquent, was pointing out a huge difference. Where human religion still clings to punishment, Jesus reveals mercy and grace without ignoring sin.

Can God Lie? Confusion and Contradictions

“God is not a man, that he should lie…” – Numbers 23:19

Even Shaykh Uthman himself quoted this verse, though normally when Muslims cite it, they stop at the first phrase: “God is not a man.” Yet in this exchange, he continued the verse because it served his argument: “…that he should lie.”

Ironically, this proves the point Christians have always made—God does not lie. So if Jesus is God in the flesh, He would not lie either.

The saddest part of the exchange came when Shaykh Uthman labeled this elderly man as a “Christian preacher” and “Christian debater,” then paraded him as if he represented all of Christianity.

At one point, the man, under pressure, said things no believer would ever affirm—like Jesus lying, or suggesting confusion about God’s oneness.

But let’s be honest. This wasn’t a fair debate. The man was old. His English was weak. He was outnumbered. The “victory” came not from truth, but from exploiting someone unable to defend himself.

Jesus in Revelation and the Mercy Over Stones

The older man also recalled the vision of Jesus described in Revelation—His face shining, His presence overwhelming. He pointed to the passages where Christ appears as the King who will return in glory.

Even if his words weren’t polished, his point was simple: he had experienced Jesus in a personal way and knew Him to be the true King.

Later in the exchange, Shaykh Uthman also tried to argue that the Bible commands stoning, pointing to Old Testament laws. Yet the Christian man stuck to the same truth he had from the beginning: Jesus changed everything.

When pressed again, he returned to the words of Jesus: “He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone.” His conviction was clear: he wanted no part in a religion that still carried out “primitive” stonings today.

The Bigger Lesson

What becomes obvious in watching this debate is that Shaykh Uthman was not really after truth. He kept dodging, switching topics, and pressing the elderly man into contradictions.

Meanwhile, the Christian—though weak in debate—clung to what he knew: that Jesus is merciful, and that Christ is the King who will return.

“Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.” – Hebrews 13:8

Even when misquoted, misrepresented, or mocked, the Word of God remains unshaken.

This debate shows why Christians must be ready to give an answer with clarity and confidence. Misuse of passages like Mark 13 or Numbers 23 only leads to confusion when taken out of context.

But the truth remains: 

Jesus is the divine Son, the merciful Savior, and the King who will come again. Share on X
