The lecture presents a comprehensive refutation of Unitarian biblical counterfeits—particularly Islam, Jehovah Witnesses, and modern Judaism—by demonstrating their internal contradictions, philosophical inconsistencies, and failure to meet the preconditions of intelligibility. It argues that Islam's claim of divine revelation is self-defeating, as its assertion that Allah is beyond human comprehension undermines the very possibility of the Quran being a valid revelation, while its shifting doctrines and reliance on the concept of abrogation (nasikh) reveal arbitrariness and a lack of divine immutability. Similarly, other Unitarian variants are shown to fail the 'one and many' problem, as their conception of a singular, unchanging God cannot account for attributes like love without dependence on creation, thereby compromising divine sovereignty and coherence. The sermon further critiques Mormonism as a polytheistic counterfeit rooted in the fraudulent claims of Joseph Smith, whose history as a convicted con man and inconsistent, contradictory narratives—including the forged authenticity of the Book of Mormon—undermine its credibility. Ultimately, the Christian worldview is upheld as the only one that consistently satisfies the preconditions of intelligibility, offering a coherent, self-consistent, and morally grounded foundation rooted in the triune God, the historical reliability of Scripture, and the fulfillment of divine revelation in Jesus Christ.
