David Wood

[Yeraza_Bats]

Haha, it feels so weird making a thread about an actual specific living person : p Like, I have a fear that he will one day google his own name and find this thread here on this site, haha.

But anywho, Ive been thinking alot about him lately, and Id really like to hear others opinions on him here, from other Christians.
(this will be a long post, so I hope you have the time to read it and think about my thoughts here)

I watch his videos, I watch almost every single one of them, though I have to admit that I struggle to be motivated to sit through one if its around 40-60 minutes long. But yeah, I have a very high opinion of him. Ive mentioned on this site before, when I first started coming to Christ (or like just right before I did), I had spoken with a Muslim on a chat room who told me about how Christ was just a "prophet", that He was not our Lord and Savior, not the Son of God, the Emmanuel, who would judge the world and rule from Israel forever and worshiped by all. And he used bible verses to prove it. And at the time I actually was confused by it. I mean I was already confused on who He really was to begin with, and this made me more uncertain about Him. So David Wood had a huge impact on my faith in Him.

But yeah, I think he is a very wise man, highly educated, and that he makes extremely amazing arguments that are both easy to understand, as well as easy for ANYONE to use, that are also both informative, educational, and full of truth. He is loved even by non-Christians for his insight.

But I often see people who call themselves Christians on his comment sections who say he is not doing good work. While I completely disagree with them, and think he is an awesome teacher and important for this day and age, they sometimes do manage to make me think. I read one comment just yesterday, the poster said that they believe he does what he does out of spite. I am on the fence with these people who claim he is proudful, boastful, and insulting.

David Wood does make one comment that I agree with. Too many people believe that love means always being nice, and trying to not offend anyone. I think that is a backwards way of thinking, as believing in Christ and His teachings are going to insult people. Even if you love someone, if you tell them the way they live or what they believe is wrong, they will take offense to it. But at the same time, I do wonder if his.... I dunno... lets call them "tactics", but yeah, I often wonder if they are always the right way to be.

I get the idea that when debating with Muslims, being all nice and kind and all that wont win them over, as they will just think you lack any wisdom and are merely relying on winning them over with kindness. But I still have to ask, how does God feel about it?

Im sorry for the really long opener here : p I just wanted to express every thought I have about this subject. What do you think? Do you agree with his tactics? Do you think hes mostly right but sometimes goes a bit too far, like all of us do? Do you think he is doing something terrible? Id like to hear others thoughts about this.

I confess to not even knowing who he is. I'll go google-check....

I am also a David Woods Fan .. Mostly.. I have never been in 100% agreement with any preacher. But i do greatly value David Woods focus on islam and revealing the lies and inconsistencies in islam.. I often use the information in David Woods video's in discussions with muslims.. It is also Good to use his information to post to brain washed liberals who actually believe islam is a religon of peace..

David woods uses a direct and information heavy method and that method works on some muslims.. I often see Christians telling other Christians that they are doing it the wrong way because they are not doing it the way they think is right.. But in the end I believe different methods work on different people.. Like the way fire and brimstone method can really move some people but to others it is a major turn off .. But to another the intellectual method will have more impact .. But to another lots of care bear love and sensitivity will have more impact... Different people different personalities different methods work for different people..

In this video David responds to his critics who say He is not doing it right..

Yeah! I agree. I mean there are people out there who do feel lost, who may feel the need and desire for the love of God, but need guidance. And for them, the loving, "care bear" stuff may be seriously meaningful : p But I kinda agree with David here, with Muslims, they are being given reasons why Christ is not who He is, and they need to be taught the truth, and not shown that Christians are really nice when you get to know them : p

I think I agree with you, if this is the right way to reach out to them, then its a good thing. And David Wood has the proof that his tactics work, many former Muslims thank him for helping them come to Christ. And I didnt even need to see him share them in videos, Ive seen them in his comment sections myself : p

I cant say that insults are a good way to guide others to Christ, but I can definitely agree that showing that Muhammad was NOT from God, that he was NOT a good role model for the world to follow, and that he did NOT know anything about Christ, is an absolutely wonderful thing.

Maybe he does some wrong sometimes, but he is helping many people, he even helped me : p

Thanks for the response : p

Well for some muslims the care bear and being really nice to them method might work.. If a muslim is told while they are growing up that all western woman are foul mouthed, evil and prostitutes and they come to the west and find a job and they are working next to a Christian woman who is well spoken, chaste, caring and polite. Then that can cause them to pause and wonder if they where told the truth by their Imam back in the old country.. The clean living and modest Christian woman by just living her life in the moral way could have a great impact on certain muslims with a certain personality type..

My point is that if you have 3 different Christians using 3 different methods you are going to have more muslims of different personality types having their beliefs in muhammad shaken..

But if Christians go out of their way to prevent other Christians from using a different method and actively try to sabotage and undermine their witnessing then they will unintentionally end up preventing a muslim being saved who would have been won over by that other method..

Im not against either method, my post was just questioning what other people thought of this person.
I believe that we SHOULD treat people with love and compassion. But at the same time there are times to be hard and say things people dont want to hear, too. Like, we cant minister to Muslims without telling them their prophet was wrong, and did not know what he was saying. And at least one of them will become angry by this : p Its at that point that we need to be firm with them, and not try to win them over with smiles and friendliness : p

I believe both methods are important. I mean, even just reading the Gospel and seeing how Jesus interacted with people, He took on both attributes.

I cant say that this person is perfect in all they do, and I believe they make mistakes, too. But I believe that he is doing a good thing. I just wanted to hear others opinions on it to get some insight. Or at least like, different perspectives : p

I've seen many of his shows "Jesus or Muhammad" I personally don't see anything wrong with his tactics. In fact he's pretty polite debating muslims and even back it up with the q'uran. I don't know in what way he is going to far. I mean he states muhammad was practically a pedo & false teacher. It's hard for muslims to accept the truth. He even expressed how he wanted muslims to turn to jesus

"name omitted because the penalty for leaving Islam is death" "name omitted because the penalty for leaving Islam is death".... (lol) How many wacky liberals in America know this? Not many. Islam is spreading like a disease and literally MILLIONS don't know the truth but actually think Islam is a religion of peace. GACK.!!

Such a lie from the pit of hell. So obvious if others would dare to have the GUTS TO TELL uneducated uninformed people the truth over and over like this guy is doing by making videos and going on the internet. Most westerners are busy working and raising families and trying to make their way in life. We don't think we have time for this sort of "nonsense" in the political realm. We think most people are like we are. So we have allowed this evil in. Not knowing just how this system of belief and way of life wants to kill all in it's path. We just can't fathom this kind of evil. We have been insulated all our lives. Even when the truth is told most liberals think it can't be true. No one thinks differently than "they" do. They think all people are basically good.

People are like sheep (as most wolves know) and will take advantage of ignorant sheep while marching them down the ramp for slaughter as the sheep go willingly . These radical Muslims know it and have easily fleeced millions of sheep because clueless dumb sheep can't fathom people in their communities who go to their stores and walk in their streets could actually be bad or do bad things to them. Most westerners are clueless.

If you don't believe it look at the United States government as we fight a civil war here. Conservatives want to protect our country from illegal immigrants and the sick spread of Islam infiltrating our communities vs liberals who want open boarders and respect no laws concerning immigrants! Sanctuary cities and protests by seemingly educated individuals. Blindness gone to seed!!!

Not only that., we are putting illegal immigrants on welfare paying for Muslims even those with more than one wife and the children they have spreading the Islam diseased religion with U.S. taxpayer dollars. Just like other good countries who are trying to be respectful of a hideous belief system called Islam. All under the guise of respecting others "rights" while they slowly and now quickly shred us of our rights as Americans.


If this guy is educating not only the public but also helping seeking Muslims get out of that satanic system, MORE POWER TO HIM! And may his numbers INCREASE. Our universities are banning such men and woman who speak the truth about Islam. Islam has infiltrated our country from within to such a degree I wonder what the outcome will be in the coming months.

But believers in Jesus Christ are not without hope! We know Jesus is coming and before He gets here He is the answer for all these major issues seeking to tear down truth. We must tell people the Gospel of Jesus Christ while the time is available. There will be many anti christs in the last days. Evil parading as good to such a degree that fools even the very elect. But the evil has already been defeated. We know the end of the story. But in the mean time, we fight the good fight of faith. Get as many saved as we can by telling them about Jesus Christ.

I never heard of this man David Wood who you like so much Yeraza_Bats, but so far I LIKE HIM. Sounds like a man for such a time as this!

I came across David Wood a year or two back. Although he is personally calm and polite, his style is confrontational, and that puts some people off. I appreciate the insight he offers into what the Qu'ran and hadiths actually say. Someone needs to be revealing the truth about Islam, so even if he is polemical, sometimes it takes a bold approach to accomplish what is needed. We certainly aren't going to get the truth from "peaceful Moslems" or politicians, or from the liberal media who embrace everything but the truth.

I think what people are referring to are his own independant videos on his youtube channel, videos like these here

[VIDEO=youtube;7tenqQC7Zo]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m7tenqQC7Zo[/VIDEO]

While I agree that its not good to just go off and insult people, I also share the belief that too many Christians are too caught up in the always be friendly and smile junk, as if being a Christian means this. Im just trying to figure out for myself if the Christians who do criticize him have a legitimate concern, of if they are just mad because he doesnt do things their way, I guess : p

While that video may seem rude just looking at it, I can see how this would be a good way to actually GET Muslims to watch the video. I mean, getting them mad will make them watch his videos. David likes to say he "gets into their heads", which causes them to think about what hes saying to them. And I kinda like this approach. Of course, if he was leading others to sin, I wouldnt want to show my support for him.
