UNITARIAN DEBATE NOTES

These are the notes for my debate with Stacy Turbeville, “Is Unitarianism Biblical?” SINGULAR NOUNS/PRONOUNS/VERBS/PARTICIPLES USED FOR CORPORATE ENTITIES The Holy Bible will often employ the singular in references to a multitude of individuals that form a solidarity, a corporate body so to speak. What this shows

JWS ADMIT: JESUS IS THE ETERNAL CREATOR!

Paul, in Colossians 1:15-17, describes Jesus as the eternal Creator and Sustainer of all creation: “who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation; for in him were ALL THINGS created, in the heavens and upon the earth, things visible and things invisible, whether thrones

MOSES’ STAFF: ANOTHER QURANIC BLUNDER

The Quran garbles out the encounter between God and Moses at the burning bush. For instance, in one place the Muslim scripture claims that Moses’ staff appeared to him as a living entity: Has there come to you the history of Moses When he saw a fire (in the desert)

GOSPEL AUTHORSHIP

In this post I share some of the earliest surviving evidence for the authorship of the Gospel. In one of the references, I quote Irenaeus who was a disciple of Polycarp, who himself was a disciple of the Apostles such as the Apostle John. This is significant since it provides

MATTHEW 27:9-10: A MISTAKEN ATTRIBUTION?

Some critics of the Holy Bible claim that Matthew false and mistakenly attributed a prophecy from Zechariah 11:13 to the prophet Jeremiah (cf. Matt. 27:9-10). Here I will cite the lengthy refutation to this argument from Dr. Michael L. Brown’s book, Answering Jewish Objections to Jesus, Volume

Q. 2:75-79 & THE CORRUPT QURAN

I resume the discussion: Q. 2:75-79 AND BIBLE CORRUPTION. In this post I am going to take the same objection leveled against the Holy Scriptures and apply it to the Quran as to show that it is the Muslim scripture that has been corrupted and altered. Recall from the

Q. 2:75-79 AND BIBLE CORRUPTION

One of the texts that is most often cited by Muhammadan polemicists to support their claim that the Quran testifies to the textual corruption of the Holy Bible is Q. 2:75-79. In this post I will show that these verses do not at all imply that the Biblical scriptures

SCHOLARS AND THE 2 POWERS IN HEAVEN

In this post I will be citing particular scholars that acknowledge the fact that both the Hebrew Bible and early Jewish tradition affirm the existence of at least two distinct divine Powers. The second Power is variously identified as the Angel/Messenger of YHWH, the Son of Man, the Word/

AN/THE ARCHANGEL’S VOICE?

WHY JESUS CANNOT BE MICHAEL! There are specific groups such as the seventh day Adventists that believe the following passage describes the risen Christ as an archangel: “But we do not want you to be uninformed, brothers, about those who are asleep, so that you will not grieve as do

MICHAEL: ONE AMONG SEVERAL RULERS

The New Testament explicitly identifies Michael as an archangel: “Yet in the same way these men, also by dreaming, defile the flesh, and reject authority, and blaspheme glorious ones. But Michael the archangel, when he, disputing with the devil, was arguing about the body of Moses, did not dare pronounce
