And the Word Was God (John 1, P66)

The Greek word Logos, which means "the Word" The Bible clearly says Jesus is God. Here we will present just one of the many proofs that Christians have from the ancient manuscripts. First, let us take a look at the text of John 1:1-3 and 14 in English in the Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB): 1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was with God in the beginning. 3 All things were created through Him, and apart from Him not one thing was created that has been created. ... 14 The Word became flesh and took up residence among us. We observed His glory, the glory as the One and Only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth. John 1 In the very first verses of his Gospel, the Apostle John the Beloved doesn't just echo the "In the beginning..." first...

Where Does Jesus Say "I Am God" in the Aramaic Bible?

It has been pointed out in previous posts that Muslims seem enamored with the fact that the Lord Jesus Christ spoke Aramaic, primarily because they believe it proves that He worshiped their god, Allah. But the similarities between Aramaic, Hebrew and Arabic are only proof that they have the same Semitic roots and not much more. But Muslims have not stopped claiming that Jesus never said He was God in the Bible, a fact which has been proven on this blog a (growing) number of times, and so this post is being written. In it we will combine Jesus' pronouncements of His deity with the Muslim love of Aramaic, albeit translated into easily comprehensible English. We will do this simply by quoting the verses in which Jesus unabashedly proclaims that He is God using the translation known as the Aramaic Bible in Plain English. Let's begin with the Gospel of Matthew: But Yeshua immediately spoke with them a...

EyeWitness Report... The Crucifixion

What is an eyewitness? The dictionary tells us that an eyewitness is "a person who has personally seen something happen and so can give a first-hand description of it." Today we know that Jesus died on a hill called Golgotha because people were there to see it happen. People were there who were eyewitnesses to the death of the Son of God. Some were believers and followers of Jesus but some of His enemies, critics, skeptics, and non-believers were present, too. Who exactly were the eyewitnesses to Jesus' crucifixion? The chief priests, scribes and elders, as found in Matthew 27:41 A centurion and Roman soldiers, as found in Matthew 27: 54 Crowds of bystanders, as found in Matthew 27:37, Luke 23:48 and John 19:20 Simon of Cyrene, as found in Mark 15:21 T...

Where Does Jesus Say, "I Am Not God. Stop Worshiping Me?"

The Bible is so straightforward about the Deity of Christ that those who choose to deny it can only do so by utterly rejecting the Word of God. No one with an objective mind can read the text of the New Testament and come away with any other conclusion than that the Christ that it speaks of is divine. A typical challenge from Muslims to Christians is to produce a verse in which Jesus categorically states, "I am God. Worship Me." We have already covered some of the places where Jesus says He is God in previous articles so, in this one, we will take a look at the many places in the Scriptures where Jesus is worshiped as God. But first let us look at two reactions to worship as exhibited in the New Testament. Luke relates what the Apostle Peter encountered when he visited the home of a Gentile: Acts 10 25 When Peter entered, Cornelius met him, fell at his feet, and worshiped him. 26 But Peter helped him ...

Who Wrote Most of the New Testament?

Is the claim correct that Paul wrote most of the New Testament? Critics make this claim to try and support their assertion that Paul somehow hijacked Christianity away from the Mosaic Law and into his own "grace theology." But the answer about who wrote most of the NT is easy enough to come to. All we have to do is the math. The information used below comes from the oldest sources we have: the Greek manuscripts of the New Testament. As you may know, the authors of the NT wrote in Koine Greek, which was the lingua franca of their day. The word numbers may vary slightly from source to source, but these are not going to change our final results. So who are our Top Three writers? The New Testament has a total of 138,020 Greek words in the Analytical Greek New Testament (AGNT). Of those 138,020 words, the most prolific writers of the New Testament were: Author Books ...
