Ps. 22:16: Digging Through the Problem

The following excerpts are taken from The Psalms as Christian Worship: An Historical Commentary, co-authored by Bruce K. Waltke and James M. Houston with Erika Moore, published by Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing Co. in 2010, Chapter 12. Psalm 22: Prophetic Psalm of Christ’s Passion, pp. 376 ff. All emphasis

Ps. 16:10: Messiah’s Incorruption

According to the inspired words of the Apostle Peter as recorded in Acts 2:24-32, Psalm 16:8-11 is a prophecy uttered by David in respect to Christ’s physical, bodily resurrection. Here is the key verse in question, which Peter understood as God’s promise that he would prevent

Third Century Inscription to Christ’s Deity

Archaeologists recently found a table in Megiddo, Israel dated to the third century AD (200s), which was dedicated to Christ in honor of his being God. The table served as a memorial to the God Christ, which presumably was used for the observance of the Holy Eucharist. I quote a

St. Augustine on Psalm 45

I share St. Augustine’s masterful exegesis of Psalm 45, since this brilliant theologian explains how every verse points to the coming of our glorious Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, and shows that this specific Psalm prophesies that the Messiah is the God-Man whom the Father anoints to rule forever.

Nyssa on the Angel of God

I quote what the great St. Gregory of Nyssa wrote in respect to the divine Angel that appeared to Moses being the prehuman Son of God in his work titled Against Eunomius, Book XI. Gregory refutes the assertion that God spoke through a created angel whim he used as his

The Allah of the Arabic Bible

In this short post I will be citing biblical verses where refer to the Father and Son as being God, which the Arabic Bible translates as Allah. “In the sixth month, God (Allahi) sent the angel Gabriel to Nazareth, a town in Galilee, to a virgin pledged to be married

Athanasius & the Arian Creeds

This lengthy extract is from Athanasius’ De Synodis. It chronicles the beliefs of Arius and those who believed like him, and further details some of the many councils and creeds which followed after Nicaea in order to either overturn it or revise it. What makes these creedal formulations rather peculiar,

Justin Martyr, Greek Philosophers & Christ

St. Justin Martyr believed and taught that prehuman Logos or Word of God had made himself know even to the Greek philosophers, which is why they were aware and spoke of the Logos. He believed that Christ, who is the uncreated Logos, did this in order to prepare them for

Gregory Palamas on the Muslim God

St. Gregory mentions a dialogue he had with a group of Turkish Muslims. What makes his comments rather amazing is that he affirms that both the Muslims and himself are calling upon one and the same God, even though these Turks are ignorant of the fact that this God whom

Apocrypha & Messiah’s Deity Pt. 2

There are two remarkable statements in the apocryphal writing 2 Esdras, which confirm Jesus’ Divinity and Messianic status. They show that Jesus did indeed make himself out to be God by carrying out the very functions, which even the so-called Apocrypha ascribe to God. Israel Rejects YHWH their God According
