We see over and over the nation of Israel – God’s chosen people, departing from God and following the world about them. Probably not necessary to list how they were warned against idolatry and foreign gods (etc.), but followed after them a…
I am struck that these words/concepts are used frequently in the New Testament by speakers (Jesus and Paul among others, including Romans 4:20), who would have been (presumably) speaking/thinking in Aramaic/Hebrew, and approaching their th…
It has been somewhat challenging for me to properly contextualize the choice of words in the Greek translation. Instances of "logos" appear quite often, one could argue almost systematic. This site has a helpful summary of all th…
ὁ νικῶν κληρονομήσει τὰ πάντα, καὶ ἔσομαι αὐτῷ Θεός, καὶ αὐτὸς ἔσται
μοι ὁ υἱός.
δειλοῖς δὲ καὶ ἀπίστοις καὶ ἐβδελυγμένοις καὶ φονεῦσι καὶ πόρνοις καὶ
φαρμακεῦσι καὶ εἰδωλολάτραις, καὶ πᾶσι τοῖς ψευδέσι, τὸ μέρος αὐτῶν ἐν

Why do you people think it is unbelievable that God raises the dead? Of course, I myself was convinced that it was necessary to do many things hostile to the name of Jesus the Nazarene. Acts 26:8-9 New English Translation

Jesus had no biological father and we know that, according to the Pentateuch, the tribal lineage is passed through the father and the mother’s genealogy is irrelevant. The argument of Zelophehad’s daughters is not valid that tribal heritag…

I understand Trinitarian belief and have taught it many times in apologetics, but
after being a Mormon for 21 years before Christianity I completely understand the
argument made. God said “we/us” and says God has a God which fits the t…
In the Bible there was mention of Jesus cursing the Fig Tree (as in Matthew 21:19)!
I do not know why I even thought of this!
But I have a feeling that somewhere in Revelation’s, Enoch or Ezra I saw the line as follows:-

If Matthew believed Jesus is God and was the ‘word’ and existed before the world was created, why does he have a genealogy for Jesus in Matt 1?
