ANOTHER LOOK AT THE CARMEN CHRISTI

In this post I will cite another reputable authority on Philippians 2:5-11, commonly known as the Carmen Christi (“hymn to Christ,” or “Christ hymn”), who explains why this is a hymn/poem celebrating the divine prehuman existence, incarnation, and post-resurrection exaltation of Christ. The first half of the Christ

CHRIST: AN EXAMPLE OF SAVING FAITH

Philippians 2:5-11 sets forth Jesus as an example for us to emulate: “In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus: Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage; rather, he made himself

EARLY CHURCH ON THE REAL PRESENCE

The following is taken from Catholic Answers website: What the Early Church Believed: The Real Presence. The doctrine of the Real Presence asserts that in the Holy Eucharist Jesus is literally and wholly present—body and blood, soul and divinity—under the appearances of bread and wine. Many Protestants attack

PHILIPPIANS 2: AN ADAM CHRISTOLOGY?

The Apostle Paul incorporates either a hymn or poem (commonly referred to as the Carmen Christi) that celebrates Christ’s divine prehuman existence, subsequent physical resurrection and heavenly exaltation to reign as YHWH Incarnate over all creation, and which claims that every creature must and will eventually worship Jesus Lord:

GOD, CHRIST & THE DIVINE NAME

According to the God-breathed writings, Christ in his post-resurrected heavenly exaltation possesses the name above all names: “That is why God has now lifted him so high (hyperhypsosen), and has given him the name BEYOND ALL NAMES,” Philippians 2:9 J.

ARIANS AND MARY’S VIRGINITY

It is a reference from a semi-Arian writer from the 4th century who refutes an Arian heretic named Eunomius for denying Mary’s perpetual virginity. This shows that the attack on the perpetual virginity essentially stemmed Arian heretics, individuals who denied the

TRUE GOD OF TRUE GOD

In this post I will provide further evidence from the inspired Scriptures that Christ is the true God, even though he is not the Father or the Holy Spirit. The Hebrew Bible describes YHWH as the God of truth, i.e., the God who is the truth, to whom believers

THE FATHER GLORIFIES THE SON

In this post I will show the places in the Hebrew Bible which the NT writings testify are instances of the Father speaking to the Son. These cases will demonstrate that Jesus is preexistent, that he had a prehuman existence, and/or that he is fully divine in the same

HOW MANY DIVINE SAVIORS ARE THERE?

In this post I will seek to establish from the God-breathed Scriptures that there is only one God who is able to save from sin, and that Jesus Christ is expressly described as the God who saves those who trust in him from their transgressions. I will further show how

HOW MANY DIVINE SAVIORS ARE THERE? PT.2

I continue from where I previously left off: HOW MANY DIVINE SAVIORS ARE THERE?. WHAT KIND OF BEING MUST JESUS BE? Now the only way that the Man Christ Jesus could ever be portrayed as saving individuals from their transgressions is if he is himself is YHWH God who became
