Gregory of Nazianzus’ Biblical Canon

The following is an English translation of the works of Gregory of Nazianzus (fourth century AD) as listed in Migne’s Patrologia Graeca, Volume 37, columns 471-474 (Carmina Dogmatica, Book I, Section I, Carmen XI). All bold and capital emphasis will be mine. Concerning the Genuine Books of Divinely Inspired

The Old Testament of the Early Church

The following lengthy excerpt is taken from J. N. D. Kelly’s Early Christian Doctrines, published by Adam & Charles Black, London, Fourth Edition 1968, pp. 52-56. All bold emphasis will be mine. CHAPTER III THE HOLY SCRIPTURES 1. The Old Testament For the first hundred years, at least, of

Worshiping God Alone: Responding to a Muslim Objection Pt. 2

In this segment (/2020/05/07/worshiping-god-alone-responding-to-a-muslim-objection/), I am going to address the other passages that are cited to undermine the Trinity. Muslim polemicists quote the book of Revelation to show that Jesus shouldn’t be worshiped as God: “Then I fell at his feet to worship him. But he

Worshiping God Alone: Responding to a Muslim Objection

Muslim apologists are fond of citing biblical texts out of context in order to give the misleading impression that the Holy Bible denies the divinity of the Lord Jesus. For instance, Muslims will quote Jesus’ own words to the devil that only God is worthy of worship: “Again, the devil

REFUTING ADNAN RASHID PT. 2B

See the previous part: REFUTING ADNAN RASHID PT. 2. In this part of my rebuttal, I am going to further show how the Quran misrepresents the historic Christian understanding of the Trinity and the Deity of Christ since the author(s) was/were ignorant of what these doctrines entailed. For

REFUTING ADNAN RASHID PT. 2

I continue from where I previously left off: REFUTING ADNAN RASHID PT. 1. SECOND OBJECTION: THE QURAN REJECTS THE TRINITY Adnan deceptively claims that the Quran rejects specific verses in the NT as fabrications to support the doctrine of Trinity, such as 1 John 5:7. He then argues that

REFUTING ADNAN RASHID PT. 1

This is the material that I compiled for Adnan Rashid’s rather desperate attempt of trying to prove that the Quran testifies to the corruption of the Old and New Testaments. You can watch Adnan’s attempt at a reply here: Did the author of the Quran know the Bible?

Who is the Lord of all the Earth?

The Hebrew Bible testifies that Jehovah rules in heaven as the Lord of all the earth, being Lord of all lords: “Behold, the ark of the covenant of the Lord of all the earth is to pass over before you into the Jordan… And when the soles of the feet

Is Jesus God the Son, the Son of God, or Both?

A typical objection of Muslim apologists is that the Bible nowhere calls Jesus God the Son. Rather, Christ is said to be the Son of God and the Son of Man. The problem with this assertion is that this ignores the fact that Jesus is not simply declared to God’
