THE FATHER GLORIFIES THE SON

In this post I will show the places in the Hebrew Bible which the NT writings testify are instances of the Father speaking to the Son. These cases will demonstrate that Jesus is preexistent, that he had a prehuman existence, and/or that he is fully divine in the same

JESUS’ GOD PT. 3

REFUTING ANOTHER UNITARIAN CANARD I arrive at the final installment in the series: JESUS’ GOD PT. 2. PAUL In this part I will discuss Paul’s Christology in order to show that this holy servant of the risen Christ affirmed that Jesus is YHWH Incarnate, much like John did so.

YHWH: THE ONLY TRUE ELOHIM

In this post I share some of the manifold verses that go out of their way to affirm that YHWH the God of Israel is the only true God whom all nations are commanded to worship and serve. YHWH is the name of the only true God. “Then Moses said

NUMBERS 5:22 IS NOT ABOUT ABORTION!

In this short post I will quote a slew of verses in regards to the correct interpretation of Numbers 5:22 to refute the shameful lie of those who seek to justify murdering unborn babies. These bible perverts look for certain translations which, sadly, misinterpret this passage in such a

One of the places in which Jesus is called God is in the inspired epistles to Hebrews: “but of the Son he says, ‘Your throne, O God (ho theos), is forever and ever, and a righteous scepter is the scepter of your kingdom. You have loved righteousness and hated lawlessness.

JESUS: THE TRUE ISRAEL OF GOD

The Scriptures distinguish the true God from the other so-called gods by identifying him as the God of the Patriarchs, i.e., the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. The sacred writings further do so by referring to him as the God of Israel: “Then Moses and Aaron, Nadab, and

MELCHIZEDEK REVISITED

In this post I extract the section on Melchizedek from James Kugel’s book, Traditions of the Bible: A Guide to the Bible as It Was at the Start of the Common Era, Chapter 8. Melchizedek (GENESIS 14:17-20), published by Harvest University Press, Cambridge, Massachusetts/London, England, in 1998.
