DAMNING ADMISSIONS OF A MUSLIM AUTHOR CONCERNING JESUS

In this post I will be quoting from Muslim author Mustafa Akyol’s The Islamic Jesus: How the King of the Jews Became a Prophet of the Muslims. Aykol’s book has been highly acclaimed by Muslims, including Shabir Ally who did a review of it on his show “Let

Let’s Go Back to ‘Only Begotten’

The following is taken from Let’s Go Back to ‘Only Begotten’ – The Gospel Coalition. NOVEMBER 23, 2016 CHARLES LEE IRONS The classical doctrine of the Trinity affirms that within the one, undivided being of God there are three persons—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. It also affirms that what

ISLAM TESTIFIES: JESUS CHRIST IS THE CREATOR AND LIFE-GIVER

In Islam, the fashioning of idols, images, pictures etc. are condemned. And according to the ahadith, Allah on the day of judgment will demand of all those who made such images to breathe a soul/life into these idols/pictures, something that they won’t be able to do: Ibn

God’s Unique, Divine Son: A Biblical Outline

In this post I will be citing all the multiple witnesses in the God-breathed Scriptures that bear witness to Jesus being the unique, divine Son of God who is equal to God the Father in essence, power, glory and honor. These varied biblical voices all affirm that, as God’s

The Quran on the Trinity: The View of Classical Sunni Scholars

JOHN 17:3 AND THE ONLY TRUE GOD

COMMENTARY Jesus states emphatically that eternal life is this: Knowing the Father in an intimate way as well as His Son. Salvation depends on knowing both Father and Son. Jesus is the “way, the truth, and the life.” No one comes to the Father but through the Son, for it

JESUS AS GOD IN ROMANS 9:5

COMMENTARY In verses 1-5 of this chapter of Romans, Paul focuses on the tension between God’s promises to Israel and Israel’s plight. The people to whom God has promised so much have, apparently, rejected God’s most profound revelation – His Son. In this verse, Paul presents the last

JESUS AS GOD IN JOHN 20:28

COMMENTARY The confession of Thomas, coming as it does at the climax of John’s Gospel, is perhaps the clearest affirmation of Christ’s deity in the Bible. It is clear, despite various theories to the contrary (see “Other views Considered,” below), that Thomas was speaking directly to Jesus. The
