In this short post, I am going to present evidence from Mark which clearly proves that Jesus is described as none other than the very God of Israel in the flesh. In Mark, Jesus performs two specific functions, which the Hebrew Bible ascribes to Jehovah alone, namely, the subduing of

I continue my rebuttal to a Muslim greenhorn who attempted to show that Luke-Acts do not have a theology of substitutionary atonement (/2019/09/13/atonement-in-luke-acts-pt-1/). The Scholarly views concerning the death of Christ in Luke-Acts Here is the list of scholarly opinions concerning Luke’s depiction of Jesus’ death:

Introduction This series initially was intended to be a reply to another Muslim neophyte (http://www.call-to-monotheism.com/shamounion_straw_men_and_obfuscations__a_critical_commentary_on_sam_shamoun_s__the_purpose_and_cause_of_jesus__death) in order to expose his blatant inconsistencies and selective use of sources. However,

In this post (/2019/08/29/is-michael-the-ruler-of-israel-further-proof-that-jesus-isnt-an-archangel-pt-4/), I am going to appeal to the Dead Sea Scrolls (DSS) to provide further proof that Jesus cannot be the archangel Michael. Even though he is not dogmatic about this identification, cult leader Gregory Stafford believes that there is an association between Melchizedek

I arrive at the final part of my series (/2019/08/29/is-michael-the-ruler-of-israel-further-proof-that-jesus-isnt-an-archangel-pt-3/). According to Hebrews, God will not subject the world to come, i.e., the new heavens and earth, to angelic creatures, but will place all things under Christ and the human beings that he has redeemed: “For

In this post, I am going to provide further proof that Jesus cannot be the archangel Michael if we assume that Michael is a spirit being created by Jehovah God.(1)  I will also address some of the arguments set forth by Arian apologist Gregory Stafford, founder of a recent

The following excerpt is taken from William Webster’s article, “Scripture and Tradition in the Early Church Tradition As Interpretation: The Formal Sufficiency of Scripture” (https://christiantruth.com/articles/articles-roman-catholicism/formalsufficiencyofscripturefinal/). He shows that not all of the early Christians believed that the bread and the wine literally transformed into

In this final segment (/2019/08/16/to-the-glory-of-god-the-son-refuting-a-common-arian-canard-pt-2/), I am going to take a further look at the text of Philippians in order to show that the very context of this verse refutes the notion of Jesus being a creature exalted by God. Note carefully what the blessed Apostle wrote:

I resume my refutation of Greg Stafford and his fellow Arian heretics (/2019/08/15/to-the-glory-of-god-the-son-refuting-a-common-arian-canard-pt-1/). As I had noted previously, the glorification of the Father and the Son is reciprocal in that it isn’t merely the Son that glorifies God. Rather, the Father himself is committed to glorifying

There are certain Arian (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arianism) apologists, specifically Gregory Stafford, the founder of a cult group called Christian Witnesses of Jah that recently sprung into existence (http://elihubooks.com), that employ the following passage, “and every tongue should openly acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord to
