• God, The Jealous Husband
  Jealousy is a word we usually don’t fully understand. We associate it with insecurity, rivalry, selfishness, and control. Scripture itself warns us of this kind of jealousy. “Jealousy” appears among the works of the flesh—alongside idolatry and hatred—in Galatians 5:20. When jealousy is rooted in self-centeredness, it corrodes. It devours. It destroys relationships rather thanContinue reading “God, The Jealous Husband”
• Matthew 27:9-10 – A Mistake—or a Masterpiece?
  Matthew 27:9–10 has long troubled readers of the Gospel: “Then was fulfilled what was spoken by Jeremiah the prophet, saying, ‘And they took the thirty pieces of silver, the value of Him who was priced, whom they of the children of Israel priced, and gave them for the potter’s field, as the LORD directed me.’”Continue reading “Matthew 27:9-10 – A Mistake—or a Masterpiece?”
• What does “Only-Begotten” mean?
  The Nineteenth-Century Shift in Translating Monogenēs In the 19th century, a Protestant named B. F. Westcott wrote a work on why the word “monogenes” doesn’t mean “Only Begotten” but “unique” or “one of a kind” or something similar which omits the concept of begetting. He came to this conclusion by asserting that “monogenes” is composedContinue reading “What does “Only-Begotten” mean?”
• Jesus’ 3rd Day Resurrection in The Old Testament? – 1 Cor 15:3-4 (cf. Luke 24:44-46)
  Both Jesus and Paul say that Jesus raising from the dead on the 3rd day was actually prophesied in the Old Testament: 3 For I delivered to you first of all that which I also received: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, 4 and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according toContinue reading “Jesus’ 3rd Day Resurrection in The Old Testament? – 1 Cor 15:3-4 (cf.

• Athanasius – Why the Cross and Not Another Form of Death?
  The Four Reasons Why Christ Suffered on the Cross According to Athanasius: 24. But what others also might have said, we must anticipate in reply. For perhaps a man might say even as follows: If it was necessary for His death to take place before all, and with witnesses, that the story of His Resurrection alsoContinue reading “Athanasius – Why the Cross and Not Another Form of Death?”
• Hebrews 1:8-9 – Jesus, The Davidic King who is God

• How many Gods died on the cross? And how many Gods didn’t?
  A False Dilemma: The Anti-Trinitarian Sleight of Hand One of the most common rhetorical traps used by anti-Trinitarians takes the form of a seemingly clever dilemma. It is often framed like this: How many Gods died on the cross, and how many did not?

• Was Jesus Raised as Flesh or as Spirit?
  In 1 Corinthians 15, Paul stakes everything on the resurrection: “And if Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain, and your faith is also vain.”— 1 Corinthians 15:14 (KJV) “And if Christ be not raised, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins.”— 1 Corinthians 15:17 (KJV) Paul’s logic is brutallyContinue reading “Was Jesus Raised as Flesh or as Spirit?”
• God made Jesus Lord? – Acts 2:36
  Acts 2:36 stands as one of the most theologically dense declarations in Peter’s Pentecost sermon: “Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made the same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ.” Anti-Trinitarians latch on this verse stating that Jesus cannot be God because He is made Lord,Continue reading “God made Jesus Lord? – Acts 2:36”
