Caner: "Written on the Wall of the Mosque in Kabul"

Someone has provided a nice amalgamation clip that compares Caner's two accounts of what is written on the wall of a mosque in Kabul, Afghanistan:
Notice that the English is seemingly the same, but the non-English is different. Is this simply Caner faking a foreign language, or is Caner actually saying something in some known tongue?

  1. I guess if there was a way to bring a moment of embarrassment upon the Word of God, these two moments certainly would be offered for an award to the committee who decides who gets one?

    I would note in italics highlight a word in these verses and presumably Arabic hasn't sounded much different all these centuries? I can't say for sure but maybe he is speaking slang and rogue phonics of various Arabic syllablations?

    Act 2:4 And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit gave them utterance.
    Act 2:5 Now there were dwelling in Jerusalem Jews, devout men from every nation under heaven.
    Act 2:6 And at this sound the multitude came together, and they were bewildered, because each one was hearing them speak in his own language.
    Act 2:7 And they were amazed and astonished, saying, "Are not all these who are speaking Galileans?
    Act 2:8 And how is it that we hear, each of us in his own native language?
    Act 2:9 Parthians and Medes and Elamites and residents of Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia,
    Act 2:10 Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya belonging to Cyrene, and visitors from Rome,
    Act 2:11 both Jews and proselytes, Cretans and
    Arabians-- we hear them telling in our own tongues the mighty works of God."

  2. But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse,deceiving,and being deceived.

    (2 Timothy 3:13 KJV)

    ...while evil people and impostors will go on from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived.
    (2 Timothy 3:13 ESV)

    Could the scriptures be any clearer?
