Jehovah’s Witnesses and the Deity of Christ Members Public

In this post, I will use the New World Translation (NWT) of  Jehovah’s Witnesses’ Watchtower Bible and Tract Society (https://www.jw.org/en/library/bible/) to show believers how to use their own Bible to prove that Jesus Christ is identified as Jehovah God in the flesh. At

Where’s the Blood? Responding to Another Muslim Ruse Pt. 1 Members Public

It’s become fashionable for Muslim polemicists to cite specific biblical texts, which seem to deny the necessity of atoning sacrifices for the forgiveness of sins. The following is one of the passages that Islamic apologists appeal to: “The soul who sins shall die. The son shall not bear the

Is Michael the Ruler of Israel? Further Proof that Jesus isn’t an Archangel Pt. 2 Members Public

I resume from where I left off (https://answeringislam.blog/is-michael-the-ruler-of-israel-further-proof-that-jesus-isnt-an-archangel-pt-1/).

To the Glory of God the Son: Refuting A Common Arian Canard Pt. 2 Members Public

I resume my refutation of Greg Stafford and his fellow Arian heretics (/2019/08/15/to-the-glory-of-god-the-son-refuting-a-common-arian-canard-pt-1/).

Responding to Ahmed Eldin Members Public

A Post By Quennel Gale It seems like “answering Christianity”, the laughable pseudo-Islamic propagandist website, whose apologetics can be likened to the “National Enquirer” of scholarly debate, has added yet another ill-informed amateur known as Ahmed Eldin. Mr. Eldin seems to have the reading comprehension of a four-year-old and this

Proving that Jesus is not the Archangel Michael Members Public

In this post, I am going to show a quick way of refuting the belief of Jehovah’s Witnesses, and other Arians, that Jesus is the archangel Michael. I will be using the book of Hebrews to make my case against this false, heretical view. According to the inspired author,
