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

PUBLIC CONFESSION OF SINS

In the epistle of James, believers are commanded to confess their sins to one another in the context of receiving forgiveness of those transgressions and/or healing from any illnesses that may have resulted from those sins: “Is anyone among you suffering? Then he must pray. Is anyone cheerful? He

JOHN’S PROLOGUE VS. LIMITED ATONEMENT

In this post I will demonstrate from what is typically called by scholars the prologue of John, i.e., 1:1-18, the falsity of limited atonement, which is an unbiblical tradition held on to by some (not) all Calvinists. The reason for doing so is that both reformed and non-reformed

TURRETIN ATONEMENT DEBATE

These are some of the notes for my debate with Turretinfan on the whether the Holy Bible teaches limited atonement. I will be citing Calvinist scholars, including John Calvin, all of whom acknowledge that the texts which I quote conclusively prove that Christ died for the sins of the entire

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

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

JEWISH ENCYCLOPEDIA ON THE MEMRA

This post is taken from the following article: MEMRA (= “Ma’amar” or “Dibbur,” “Logos”). All emphasis is mine. MEMRA (= “Ma’amar” or “Dibbur,” “Logos”): By: Kaufmann Kohler “The Word,” in the sense of the creative or directive word or speech of God manifesting His power in the world of matter

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
