MUHAMMAD: THE SIGN-LESS MURDERING TYRANT

The Muslims sources unashamedly acknowledge that it wasn’t the unbelievers that antagonized the Muslim community at Mecca. Rather, it was Muhammad who bullied and insulted them, even though the disbelievers went out of their way to appease him and avoid any conflict that would leave to civil war and

MUHAMMAD: A BEWITCHED SEXUAL DEVIANT

The Quran states that the knowledge of magic was passed on by demons and two angels with Armenian names, Harut and Marut, for the express purpose of misleading mankind: They followed what the Shayatin (devils) gave out (falsely of the magic) in the lifetime of Sulaiman (Solomon). Sulaiman did not

AUGUSTINE ON CHRIST’S ETERNAL GENERATION

In this post I will cite snippets from St. Augustine’s commentary on John in respect to his understanding of the eternal begetting of the Son. All emphasis shall be mine. ON JOHN 1:13 13. But John adds: As many as received Him. What did He afford to them?

CHRIST’S ETERNAL GENERATION: IS BEGETTING THE SAME AS BEING CREATED?

In this post I am going to prove that, contrary to claims of anti-Trintarians, begetting and creating are not necessarily synonymous as far as the Holy Bible is concerned. I will cite instances where the Holy Bible refers to individuals who were already in existence even before they were begotten.

JOHN OF DAMASCUS ON THE HOLY TRINITY AND HYPOSTATIC UNION

In this post I will be quoting snippets from John the Damascene’s monumental tome titled, Exposition of the Faith, in regards to his articulation of the Trinity, the Son’s eternal generation, and two natures of Christ. As the readers will readily discern, John’s insights, depth of knowledge,

GOD’S SON IN TARGUM NEOFITI REVISITED

This is a follow up post to my article where I discuss the Trinity in Targum Neofiti (TN for short): THE TRINITY IN TARGUM NEOFITI. TN contains a remarkable paraphrase of Genesis 1:1, where it is explicitly stated that YHVH has a Son who made creation in wisdom: From

GOD’S ETERNAL WORD AND UNCREATED WISDOM BECOME FLESH!

The book of Proverbs personifies God’s attribute of Wisdom as a woman(1) whom God begot before all creation: “Does not wisdom call out? Does not understanding raise her voice? On the heights along the way, where the paths meet, she takes her stand; beside the gates leading into

A MUSLIM EXPLAINS WHY ALLAH REPENTS AND CHANGES HIS MIND

I am reposting this from David’s Wood’s blog: Sam Shamoun vs. 1MoreMuslim on Allah’s Repentance. Have you ever noticed that some Muslims are so desperate to attack Christianity, they don’t care if they contradict Islam in the process? Here is another response from Sam Shamoun to

PRE-CHRISTIAN EXEGESIS OF ISAIAH 52:13-53:12

With the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls (DSS) in 1947, we have now found what many believe is the oldest extant interpretation of Isaiah 52:13-53:12. This is due to some of the fragments that were found, which scholars have named the “Self-Glorification Hymn”.Photos of these fragments

JUSTIN MARTYR ON THE NAMELESS GOD

The second century Church father and apologist Justin Martyr believed that the Father of the Lord Jesus had no name since he is beyond names. For Justin, to have a name meant that there would have to be someone greater or higher in authority that gave that specific individual his/
