John 1:1 (often in context of 'Word of Allah')
How misused: The speaker misinterprets Jesus being called 'the Word of Allah' in the Quran as semantically equivalent to 'Allah spoke him into existence,' thereby implying a created being rather than divine identity. They falsely equate the Christian concept of 'the Word' (Logos) as fully divine with the Quranic concept as merely a creative utterance, thus denying Jesus's pre-existence and co-equality with God.
Scripture's answer: John 1:1 states, 'In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.' The Greek term 'Logos' (Word) here refers to the pre-existent, divine Person of Jesus Christ, who is God Himself (John 1:1, 14; Colossians 1:15-17; Hebrews 1:1-3). This is not merely a creative command but an ontological statement about His divine nature and co-eternity with the Father, making Him uncreated.

Galatians 3:13 ('Christ became a curse for us')
How misused: The speaker misinterprets Paul's statement that Christ 'became a curse for us' as meaning the biblical Jesus is inherently 'cursed' in a negative, derogatory sense, rather than understanding it as Christ bearing the covenantal curse of the Law (Deuteronomy 21:23) to redeem humanity from its penalty.
Scripture's answer: Galatians 3:13 states, 'Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us—for it is written, 'Cursed is everyone who is hanged on a tree'.' This verse speaks of Christ's substitutionary atonement, where He voluntarily took upon Himself the penalty due to sinners under the Law, not that His person or divine nature became inherently evil or cursed. He bore the consequence of sin to set us free (2 Corinthians 5:21).

2 Corinthians 4:4 ('god of this world')
How misused: The speaker misrepresents the biblical phrase 'god of this world' (or 'god of this age') to imply Satan is given a literal divine status equal to God, or to mockingly validate Allah as a 'god of this world' when Christians use the phrase polemically. This ignores the context where Paul uses it to describe Satan's deceptive influence over unbelievers, not his ontological deity.
Scripture's answer: 2 Corinthians 4:4 refers to Satan as 'the god of this world' (or 'god of this age'), signifying his powerful, deceptive influence over the minds of unbelievers who are blinded to the gospel. It does not attribute ontological deity to Satan, but rather highlights his temporal, spiritual dominion over fallen humanity (John 12:31, 14:30; Ephesians 2:2, 6:12).

Matthew 28:19 (Trinitarian formula)
How misused: The speaker dismisses Matthew 28:19 as a Trinitarian proof text by arguing that its formulaic mentioning of 'Father, Son, and Holy Spirit' is not unique and could be applied to other figures (e.g., Allah, Muhammad, Jibreel), thereby denying its implicit Trinitarian significance. They fail to acknowledge that this formula reflects the distinct persons of the Godhead in their unity and co-equality.
Scripture's answer: Matthew 28:19 (the Great Commission) commands disciples to 'go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.' This formula, combining three distinct Persons into a singular 'name' (singular noun for 'name'), is a key biblical affirmation of the Trinity: one God existing in three co-equal, co-eternal Persons (Deuteronomy 6:4; 2 Corinthians 13:14; Ephesians 2:18).

Isaiah 6:6-7 (Isaiah's cleansing)
How misused: The speaker misrepresents Isaiah 6:6-7, claiming Isaiah 'kissed a stone' for atonement, as part of a false equivalency between Islamic veneration of the Black Stone and alleged biblical 'pagan' practices. This distorts the biblical narrative where a seraph touches Isaiah's lips with a live coal from the altar, symbolizing divine purification.
Scripture's answer: Isaiah 6:6-7 describes Isaiah's vision where a seraph took a live coal 'from the altar with tongs in his hand. With it he touched my mouth and said, 'See, this has touched your lips; your guilt is taken away and your sin atoned for'.' This is a direct act of divine purification, not an act of Isaiah kissing a stone for personal atonement. The altar represents God's sacrificial system, not an idol.
