Ephesians 5:5: Another Example of Granville Sharp’s First Rule?

In some of my previous discussions (/2019/12/11/biblical-verses-that-call-jesus-god/), I spoke of a specific Greek feature found throughout the NT writings, which scholars typically refer to as a Graville Sharp construction. The construction is in reality a rule of Greek grammar in regards to how the definite article ho

THE NT USE OF THEOS SOTER AND THE DEITY OF CHRIST

There are two passages in the God-breathed Scriptures where the words Theos (“God”) Soter (“Savior”) are applied to our risen Lord: “looking for the blessed hope and glorious appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ, who gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from every lawless

Biblical Verses That Call Jesus God

In this post, I am going to cite some of the biblical texts that apply the term God to Jesus. The prophet Isaiah announced that a virgin would conceive and give birth to a Son who would be called Immanuel: “Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold,

Paul’s Divine Christology Pt. 3

I proceed from where I previously left off (/2019/12/03/pauls-divine-christology-pt-2/). THE USE OF THEOS IN REFERENCE TO CHRIST I am going to examine all the places where God describes Jesus as God, starting with the following: “Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the

Paul’s Divine Christology Pt. 2

I continue from where I left off (/2019/11/27/pauls-divine-christology-pt-1/). ISRAEL’S ONE LORD At the heart of the Hebrew Bible is the affirmation that Jehovah is one, meaning the only God whom the Israelites were to look to and worship: “Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is

The Church Fathers on Jesus as the God-Man

According to the God-breathed Scriptures our Lord had asked his Jewish interlocutors how could the Messiah be the Son of David when the latter worshiped him as his very own Lord by revelation from the Holy Spirit: “While the Pharisees were assembled, Jesus asked them, ‘What do you think of

Paul’s Divine Christology Pt. 1

In this series, I am going to go through the inspired letters of Paul to show how this beloved Apostle proclaimed the absolute, essential Deity of Christ. I will point to texts where Paul clearly describes the risen Jesus as the God of Israel who became flesh. There are various

Hear O JWs! Jehovah is Jesus, Jehovah is He!

Another way in which the New Testament writers identify Jesus Christ as the human enfleshment/embodiment of Jehovah God is by their taking what is basically the creedal statement of the Hebrew Bible and Christianizing it. The following is considered by many to be the one command that defines the

Refuting Another Unitarian Canard Against the Deity of the Lord Jesus

Unitarians have come up with another objection to the Deity of the Lord Jesus. They use to argue that Psalm 110:1 calls the Messiah adoni, a word never used for Jehovah, but only employed for non-divine persons. After being thoroughly refuted on this point, Revisiting the implications that Psalm

Jesus Christ: The Divine Judge and Just Destroyer

According to the God-breathed Scriptures, Jehovah God is the judge, “Wherefore I have not sinned against thee, but thou doest me wrong to war against me: the LORD the Judge be judge this day between the children of Israel and the children of Ammon.” Judges 11:27 “And the heavens
