JUDE’S EPISTLE REFUTES ARIANISM

ADDENDUM Make sure to read this first: JUDE’S EPISTLE VERSUS ARIANISM. It seems that not all the verses where YHWH speaks in the third person are cases of YHWH referring to himself. It may be an indication of the fact that YHWH is referring to another divine Person as

JUDE TESTIFIES: JESUS IS NOT MICHAEL!

A QUICK DEFENSE FOR CHRIST’S DEITY According to Jesus, the Holy Spirit inspired David to recognize and worship the Messiah as his very own Lord whom God exalts to sit enthroned at his right hand: “And Jesus began to say, as He taught in the temple, ‘How is it

JESUS AS GOD IN THE NT
