AHMAD OR THE HOLY SPIRIT? Members Public

We now come to the name Ahmad, which appears only one time in the Quran (/2020/06/14/jesus-christ-the-muhammad-of-the-quran/). Once again, is this another of Muhammad’s names as later tradition asserts, or is it a further case of a descriptive noun that may not necessarily be referring to the

Atonement in Luke-Acts Pt. 3 Members Public

I proceed from where I previously left off the discussion (/2019/09/17/atonement-in-luke-acts-pt-2/).

Atonement in Luke-Acts Pt. 1 Members Public

Introduction This series was initially going to be a reply to another Muslim neophyte named Bassam Zawadi in order to expose his blatant inconsistencies and selective use of sources. However, I have decided to turn this into discussion concerning Luke’s view of Christ’s death. I do plan to

The Biblical Basis for the Nicene Creed Pt. 4 Members Public

I’ve now arrived at the final segment in the series (/2019/07/07/the-biblical-basis-for-the-nicene-creed-pt-3/). We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic church. By catholic, the framers of the Creed meant that Christ’s spiritual Body, the Church, is universal, being spread out throughout the entire world. “But beware
