• Maranatha – A Prayer to Jesus
  At the close of his First Letter to the Corinthians, Paul offers a prayer to the risen Jesus using an Aramaic expression that many scholars consider pre-Pauline, meaning that it originated before Paul’s own ministry. Its preservation in Aramaic strongly suggests that it stems from the earliest Christian community in Jerusalem. As with other cherishedContinue reading “Maranatha – A Prayer to Jesus”
• YHWH – Noun and Adjective
  In a recent discussion on the Trinity, I was asked whether the name YHWH can function adjectivally to support my Monarchical Trinitarian perspective—specifically, that the Father being YHWH by name does not preclude Jesus from being YHWH by predication (i.e., adjectivally). To support this view, notice what these anti-Christian Jews say about Deuteronomy 6:4, theContinue reading “YHWH – Noun and Adjective”
• Ecclesiastes 9:5 and “Soul Sleep”
  One of the most common passages used to argue for “soul sleep” is Ecclesiastes 9:5. Ecclesiastes 9:5 – “For the living know that they will die; but the dead know nothing, and they have no more reward, for the memory of them is forgotten.” Some interpret this to mean that the dead are unconscious untilContinue reading “Ecclesiastes 9:5 and “Soul Sleep””
• The Uncreated Word of God – John 1:1
  Post taken from: http://www.samshmnthelogy.net The following excerpt is taken from the monumental work titled The Incarnate Christ and His Critics: A Biblical Defense, authored by Robert M. Bowman Jr. & J. Ed Komoszewski, published by Kregel Academic, Grand Rapids, MI, 2024, Part 2: Like Father, Like Son: Jesus’ Divine Attributes, Chapter 12: In the BeginningContinue reading “The Uncreated Word of God – John 1:1”
• “Soul Sleep” and the Biblical Language of Death
  One of the main arguments for “soul sleep” is the Bible’s repeated use of the word sleep to describe the dead, yet this doctrine, commonly called “soul sleep”, misunderstands the biblical use of the word sleep. Scripture frequently uses sleep as a figurative expression for physical death: first, because the dead outwardly resemble those whoContinue reading ““Soul Sleep” and the Biblical Language of Death”
• Why Is the Church the Salt of the Earth?
  In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus gave one of the most powerful descriptions of His people: “You are the salt of the earth…” — Matthew 5:13 Salt may seem small and ordinary, yet throughout history it has been one of the most valuable substances in the world. In biblical times, salt preserved food, purifiedContinue reading “Why Is the Church the Salt of the Earth?”
• Hidden Nugget of Christ’s Deity
  The passages Luke 18:9–14 and Luke 19:1–10 present two accounts that, when read together, reveal a striking theological pattern. Whether one sees the first as a parable and the second as its lived-out reality, or both as independent yet parallel narratives, they point toward the same deeper truth. Luke 8:9-14 – 9 Also He spoke thisContinue reading “Hidden Nugget of Christ’s Deity”
• Matthew 2:23 — A Prophecy That Doesn’t Exist?
  A common objection is that Gospel of Matthew 2:23 appears to quote a prophecy that does not exist in the Old Testament. “And he came and dwelt in a city called Nazareth, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophets, ‘He shall be called a Nazarene.’” At first glance, there is noContinue reading “Matthew 2:23 — A Prophecy That Doesn’t Exist?”
• Is God against Icons?
  A common claim is that God is absolutely against all images or icons. However, a closer reading of Scripture suggests a more nuanced position: the prohibition is not against images themselves, but against their use as objects of worship. In Book of Exodus 20:1–6, God commands Israel not to make “graven images ”OF GODS ANDContinue reading “Is God against Icons?”
• Jesus and the Spirit are omniscient in Revelation
  The Seven The symbolism of “seven” in Revelation is not arbitrary. In Revelation, it has deep biblical roots in the concept of divine completeness. This is spelled out clearly in Revelation 15:1. It says: “Then I saw another sign in heaven, great and marvelous: seven angels having the seven last plagues, for in them the wrath ofContinue reading “Jesus and the Spirit are omniscient in Revelation”
