The Ultimate Explanation Around Jesus As The Alpha and Omega

The Ultimate Explanation Around Jesus As The Alpha and Omega

Continued from Part 17 Revelation 1:17 and 2:8 do not contain the words the Alpha and the Omega.  In these verses the author of Revelation uses protos (“first”) and eschatos (“last”) which imply the same thought as the phrase the Alpha and the Omega. Revelation 1:17 reads:  “When I saw him, I fell at his feet as though dead.  But he laid his right hand upon me, saying, ‘Fear not, I am the first and the last.’”  Revelation 2:8 reads:  “And to the angel of the church in Smyrna write: ‘The words

The True Answer Of The Father Of Jesus

Continued from Part 26 Establishing paternity In Matthew’s version of the alleged conception of Jesus story (Matthew 1:18) it states that Mary “was found to be with child by holy spirit [with no definite article before “holy spirit”].” In Luke’s version of this story it says that the angel “said to her [Mary], ‘Holy spirit [with no definite article] will come upon you,’ and the power of the Most High will overshadow you” (1:35).  If holy spirit and power of the Most High are synonymous terms

Claims In The Gospel of Matthew To Not Be Confused By

Claims In The Gospel of Matthew To Not Be Confused By

Continued from Part 27 The baptism formula Some Christian commentators allege that the command by Matthew’s Jesus to, “Go therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit” (Matthew 28:19) shows the existence of a triune deity. However, it is doubtful that the Gospel of Matthew originally made this claim.  Even more uncertain is the notion that this directive was made by Jesus at the onset of the apostolic period (following

Unmasking Jews for Jesus

Unmasking Jews for Jesus

Jews for Jesus and Messianic Jews claim that what they’re doing is 100% Jewish... the most Jewish thing anyone can do. However, calling it Jewish doesn’t make it Jewish. “How many legs does a dog have if you call the tail a leg? Four! Calling a tail a leg doesn’t make it a leg.” ~Abraham Lincoln Jews for Jesus and Messianic Jews are following Evangelical Protestant Christianity. Their beliefs are not Jewish and have no relation to Judaism. On every basic issue of theology, Jews for Jesus and

The Ultimate Question If Jesus Was Truly God

The Ultimate Question If Jesus Was Truly God

Continued from Part 34 Is the Trinity Doctrine a New Testament teaching? Paul, speaking of Jesus says, “for in him all the fullness of deity dwells in bodily form” (Colossians 2:9).  Whether Paul is teaching a form of dualism or that this supposed supernatural power that has indwelled Jesus has become God’s unique representative to mankind is a dispute for Christian commentators to ponder. Suffice it for us to ask, if God was in the incarnate Jesus and was one with Jesus ontologically why is

Was Jesus the Messiah?

Was Jesus the Messiah?

Was Jesus the Messiah? a. The Messiah According To Judaism One of the basic premises upon which Christianity rests is that Jesus was the Messiah predicted in the Jewish Bible. Judaism has always rejected this belief. Since the goal of “Hebrew Christian” missionaries is to convince Jews that Jesus did in fact fulfill the requirements of the promised Messiah, it is necessary to examine the Jewish understanding of the Messiah to understand why such claims are simply not true. b. The Hebrew Roots

Chapter 5 - THE SEED OF PROMISE

Continued from Chapter 4 (Genesis 3:15, 17:8) God made two significant promises to Abraham concerning the everlasting possession of ’Eretz Yisrael, the Land of Israel, by his descendants: [F]or all the land which you see, to you will I give it, and to your seed forever. (Genesis 13:15) And I will give to you, and to your seed after you, the land of your sojournings, all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession; and I will be their God. (Genesis 17:8) These verses are used by Paul to

Was Jesus a prophet?

Was Jesus a prophet?

Was Jesus a Prophet? Let's find out in this post. A major tenet of traditional Jewish thought is that the Torah is a blueprint for creation. That means that every significant event, even major personalities are somehow hidden within the tapestry of the Law of Moses. Surely, no one can deny the impact the life (or at least, concept) of Jesus has had on world history over the last two millennia. Many Fundamentalist Christians fervently believe this and insist one does not have to look that far in
