JESUS AS GOD IN ROMANS 9:5

COMMENTARY In verses 1-5 of this chapter of Romans, Paul focuses on the tension between God’s promises to Israel and Israel’s plight. The people to whom God has promised so much have, apparently, rejected God’s most profound revelation – His Son. In this verse, Paul presents the last

1 COR. 8 AND JEHOVAH’S WITNESSES

COMMENTARY Paul draws a contrast between false deities and the Father and Son. Whereas the pagan deities are false, there is to us “one God, the Father”, and “one Lord, Jesus Christ”. He maintains a distinction of Personality between the Father and Son by assigning a different title of Deity

BEFORE ABRAHAM: PROVING CHRIST’S ETERNAL EXISTENCE

In this post I will refute the unitarian perversion of John’s Gospel in their crusade to deny the eternal existence of Jesus. I will show how the Evangelist affirms the uncreated nature of Christ in clear and unambiguous language that only those blinded by their presuppositions and/or human

VENERATION OF THE SAINTS: A BIBLICAL OUTLINE PT. 1

In this post I will quote the verses where individuals receive reverence, obeisance, relative worship etc., with God’s express approval. Here I will focus on all the places where the Hebrew (shachah) and Greek words (proskyneo) are employed, which are the very terms used in relation to the worship
