MORE ON JUSTIN MARTYR’S CHRISTOLOGY Paid Members Public
In this post I quote noted Evangelical scholar and professor Michael F. Bird’s comments on the 2nd century Christian apologist Justin Martyr’s Christological views. All bold and capital emphasis will be mine: There is an intensification of Logos Christology among the early apologists, including Justin martyr, Theophilus of
PSALM 110 IN EARLY CHRISTIAN SOURCES Paid Members Public
In this post I will cite some of the early post-biblical Christian writings’ application and interpretation of Psalm 110. But before I do so I will first cite the 110th Psalm and bring out its theological and Christological implications. MESSIAH’S HEAVENLY ENTHRONEMENT Here’s the Psalm in question: “A
RASHI’S INTERPRETATION OF DANIEL Paid Members Public
In this post I will be referencing the commentary on Daniel 2:34-35, 44-45 and 9:24-27 by renowned Medieval rabbi and anti-Christian polemicist Shlomo Yitzchaki, otherwise known as RASHI.

PSALM 45: THE FATHER’S PRAISE OF HIS DIVINE SON Paid Members Public
In this post I will seek to establish that Psalm 45 is a love song by the Father to his Son, Jesus Christ. I will show that this is not a Psalm about a particular Davidic king, which finds its ultimate fulfillment in the coming of Jesus in the flesh.
JESUS CHRIST: JOSEPH’S LEGAL HEIR Paid Members Public
In this post I will be responding to another Protestant objection against the perpetual virginity of the blessed Mother of our God Incarnate. It is claimed that if Joseph had children from a previous marriage, which would make them older than Christ, then Jesus could not have been Joseph’s
