Is Jesus Worshiped as God in John’s Gospel? Refuting Another Anti-Trinitarian Canard

Muslims and heretics alike are keen to cite our Lord’s words that true believers are those who worship the Father by the Holy Spirit’s empowerment and on the basis of his revealed truth: “‘Our fathers worshipped (prosekynesan) on this mountain, but you all say that in Jerusalem is

The Markan Jesus – The Physical Embodiment and Visible Appearance of Israel’s God

In this short post, I am going to present evidence from Mark which clearly proves that Jesus is described as none other than the very God of Israel in the flesh. In Mark, Jesus performs two specific functions, which the Hebrew Bible ascribes to Jehovah alone, namely, the subduing of

Atonement in Luke-Acts Pt. 2

I continue my rebuttal to a Muslim greenhorn who attempted to show that Luke-Acts do not have a theology of substitutionary atonement (/2019/09/13/atonement-in-luke-acts-pt-1/). The Scholarly views concerning the death of Christ in Luke-Acts Here is the list of scholarly opinions concerning Luke’s depiction of Jesus’ death:

Atonement in Luke-Acts Pt. 1

Introduction This series initially was intended to be a reply to another Muslim neophyte (http://www.call-to-monotheism.com/shamounion_straw_men_and_obfuscations__a_critical_commentary_on_sam_shamoun_s__the_purpose_and_cause_of_jesus__death) in order to expose his blatant inconsistencies and selective use of sources. However,

Is Michael the Ruler of Israel? The Witness of the Dead Sea Scrolls

In this post (/2019/08/29/is-michael-the-ruler-of-israel-further-proof-that-jesus-isnt-an-archangel-pt-4/), I am going to appeal to the Dead Sea Scrolls (DSS) to provide further proof that Jesus cannot be the archangel Michael. Even though he is not dogmatic about this identification, cult leader Gregory Stafford believes that there is an association between Melchizedek

Is Michael the Ruler of Israel? Further Proof that Jesus isn’t an Archangel Pt. 3

In this post (https://answeringislam.blog/is-michael-the-ruler-of-israel-further-proof-that-jesus-isnt-an-archangel-pt-2/), I am going to provide further evidence that Jesus cannot be the archangel Michael because of his being the heir to the Davidic throne since this requires him to be a physical descendant of David. Note the words of the risen Lord, which

Is Michael the Ruler of Israel? Further Proof that Jesus isn’t an Archangel Pt. 4

I arrive at the final part of my series (/2019/08/29/is-michael-the-ruler-of-israel-further-proof-that-jesus-isnt-an-archangel-pt-3/). According to Hebrews, God will not subject the world to come, i.e., the new heavens and earth, to angelic creatures, but will place all things under Christ and the human beings that he has redeemed: “For

Is Michael the Ruler of Israel? Further Proof that Jesus isn’t an Archangel Pt. 2

I resume from where I left off (https://answeringislam.blog/is-michael-the-ruler-of-israel-further-proof-that-jesus-isnt-an-archangel-pt-1/). The Scriptures teach that, though Jehovah alone was to be King over Israel, “Later the men of Israel said to Gidʹe·on: ‘Rule over us, you and your son and your grandson as well, for you saved us out

Is Michael the Ruler of Israel? Further Proof that Jesus isn’t an Archangel Pt. 1

In this post, I am going to provide further proof that Jesus cannot be the archangel Michael if we assume that Michael is a spirit being created by Jehovah God.(1) I will also address some of the arguments set forth by Arian apologist Gregory Stafford, founder of a recent

To the Glory of God the Son: Refuting A Common Arian Canard Pt. 3

In this final segment (/2019/08/16/to-the-glory-of-god-the-son-refuting-a-common-arian-canard-pt-2/), I am going to take a further look at the text of Philippians in order to show that the very context of this verse refutes the notion of Jesus being a creature exalted by God. Note carefully what the blessed Apostle wrote:
