JUDE & MOSES’ ASSUMPTION

The short Epistle of Jude references a non-canonical work in respect to the dispute which took place between Michael and the devil over the body of Moses: Many in the early church and scholars of today believe that Jude was citing from the work Assumption of Moses. In order to

OMNISCIENCE OF YHWH’S ANGEL

Arian polemicist and the founder of Christian Witnesses of Jah Greg Stafford cites the following passage where the Angel asks YHWH how long would he show no compassion to Judah in order to prove that the Angel isn’t omniscient: “So they answered the angel of Yahweh who was standing

JUDE’S EPISTLE VERSUS ARIANISM

In this post I will be addressing the claims made by the anti-Trinitarian polemicist and arian apologist Greg Stafford in respect to the epistle of Jude. Stafford seeks to employ Jude’s statement about Michael to refute the Trinitarian position that the Angel of YHWH who appears all throughout the

JUDE’S EPISTLE REFUTES ARIANISM

ADDENDUM Make sure to read this first: JUDE’S EPISTLE VERSUS ARIANISM. It seems that not all the verses where YHWH speaks in the third person are cases of YHWH referring to himself. It may be an indication of the fact that YHWH is referring to another divine Person as

WHO IS THE ELOHIM OF MORMONISM? PT. 2

WAS REBECCA REALLY 3?

In this post I quote from a rabbinic Jewish source refuting the lie that Rebecca was three years old when Isaac married her. This will help to expose and silence all those Muhammadans who appeal to rabbis like Rashi who erroneously believed this lie. It is obvious why these Muslims

CHRIST: THE OFFSPRING OF CREATION?

In writing to the Church at Colossae, St. Paul includes what scholars believe to be an early hymn that emphasizes the work of Christ in creation and redemption: “Who rescued us from the authority of darkness, and transferred us to the kingdom of the Son of His love, in whom
