Jesus as God in the Gospel of Mark: Addressing a Common Muslim Objection Members Public

In this post, I am going to show how Jesus in Mark’s Gospel claims to be God (though not the Father) by ascribing to himself the very functions, titles, and attributes, which the Quran itself confirms belong only to God. I do so because Muslims are fond of arguing

Jesus is the Most High God! Members Public

In this post, I am going to present the evidence that identifies Jesus as the most High God. 1. Jehovah is the Most High God. The God-breathed Scriptures are quite clear that Jehovah is the Most High God: “And Abram said to the king of Sodom, I have lift up

The Lord of Glory: An Exposition of John 17:3 Pt. 3 Members Public

I come to the final part of my exposition (/2019/05/23/the-lord-of-glory-an-exposition-of-john-173-pt-2/).

The Quran: The Islamic Counterfeit To Jesus Christ Members Public

Who Really Follows Jesus? Muslims and the Issue of Swine Members Public

This is a follow up to my previous post on Muslims and the issue of circumcision (/2019/05/04/open-challenge-to-muslims-show-us-where-the-quran-mentions-circumcision/).

THE GOSPEL OF SALVATION Members Public

In this post I am going to present the Bible’s teaching on why everlasting life only comes through accepting what Christ did for us, namely, humbling himself to become man in order to live a perfect human life and die an accursed death. 1. God demands absolute perfect obedience
