Was Jesus Created?

Was Jesus Created?

<a class=Colossians 1:15 Who is the image of the invisible God, the ..." />

Was Jesus created? – No. not according many Bible scholars, preachers, creeds, and Christian denominations, who say Jesus has existed from eternity. Notice:

“The Son uncreated . . . the Son eternal”—Athanasian Creed

“Within the one Being that is God, there exists three eternally . . . coeternal persons”—The Forgotten Trinity, by James White, p 23

Since this is the case, why is there even any question about whether or not Jesus was created? — The reason why is because of what the Bible has to say. read more

When Was the Book Of Micah Written?

When Was the Book Of Micah Written?

Some doubt that the Hebrew prophet Micah wrote either all or parts of the Bible book bearing his name, and have, instead, asserted that the book was written and edited sometime later, by others under his name. Why does it matter when the book of Micah was written? What difference does it make?

“I have been full of power by the Spirit of YHWH” (Micah 3:8 LSV). Micah was inspired by God through his holy Spirit to predict many things, but there are five very important predictions we’ll focus on in this article in order to prove this Bible book’s authenticity, that is, that it was written in the 700’s BCE: read more

When Were Satan and His Angels Thrown Out of Heaven?

When Were Satan and His Angels Thrown Out of Heaven?

Some say that Satan and his angels were ousted from heaven before humans were created, some say it was just before, or just after, Adam and Eve sinned, some say this event is yet future. The Jehovah’s Witnesses even claim it was in a specific year — 1914. What does the Bible really say? When were Satan and his angels thrown, or cast, out of heaven?

Prior to Jesus’ death, resurrection and exaltation, Satan & his angels still had access to heaven, as can be seen from Job 1:6; 2:1, and possibly Luke 22:31 read more

Does the Bible Contradict Science About Mustard Seed?

Does the Bible Contradict Science About Mustard Seed?

Mustard seeds against a scale of 20 millimetres (34 inch)

Skeptics, critics and evolutionists say the Bible contradicts science in Jesus’ parable of the mustard seed, where he says  “a mustard seed . . . is the smallest of all seeds sown upon the earth” (Mark 4:31; Matthew 13:31,32). Does the Bible contradict science about the mustard seed? Let’s examine Jesus parable in Mark 4:31,32 in detail, using the Bible Hub Study Bible, which is quoted in italics. The scriptures are in bold type.

“It is like a mustard seed
The mustard seed is often used in biblical texts to symbolize small beginnings that lead to significant outcomes. In the context of Jesus’ parables, it represents the Kingdom of God starting from humble origins and growing into something vast and influential. The mustard plant, common in the region of Palestine, was known for its rapid growth and large size compared to its tiny seed. This imagery would have been familiar to Jesus’ audience, who understood agriculture and the potential of seeds. read more

Does the Bible Call Bats Birds & Contradict Science?

Does the Bible Call Bats Birds & Contradict Science?

The Bible appears to contradict science by classifying ‘bats’ as “birds” in Leviticus 11:13-19. From science, we know that bats are actually mammals. Therefore, we do well to ask,  “Does the Bible call bats birds and contradict science?” Let’s analyze the scriptures and science and see.

“These shall you detest among the birds, they shall not be eaten: they are detestable: the eagle, the bearded vulture, the black vulture . . . the stork, the heron of any kind, the hoopoe, and the bat” (Leviticus 11:13,19 ESV) read more

Did Jesus Witness For Himself?

Did Jesus Witness For Himself?

From top-left: Aramaic, Hebrew, Greek, Latin, and English transcriptions of the name Jesus

Skeptics and critics have alleged that Jesus’ words in the gospel of John contradict about whether or not Jesus witnessed for himself. Did Jesus witness for himself?

ALLEGED CONTRADICTION:

“According to the Gospel of John, what did Jesus say about bearing his own witness?
(a) “If I bear witness to myself, my testimony is not true” (John 5:31)
(b) “Even if I do bear witness to myself, my testimony is true” (John 8:14)”

What Jesus was referring to in John 5:31? Was he saying that if he witnessed for himself his testimony wasn’t true? read more

Is Jesus the Only Begotten God?

Is Jesus the Only Begotten God?

 
The Gospel of John

Is Jesus “the only begotten God” (John 1:18). Most translations render the phrase as, “the only begotten Son”. However, the very important Greek manuscript P66 from about 175-200 CE, shown above, has “the only begotten God” at John 1:18. But, why the difference? Which rendering from the Greek text of John 1:18 is more accurate? How can Jesus be “God” (John 1:1), and also be “the begotten from the Father” (John 1:14)

John 1:18“No one has seen God at any time; the only begotten God who is in the bosom of the Father, He has explained Him” (NASB). read more

Critics Wrong & the Bible Right About the Hittites

Critics Wrong & the Bible Right About the Hittites

Map of the Hittite Empire at its greatest extent, with Hittite rule c. 1300 BC

There are over 50 mentions in the Bible of a people called Hittites. However, no such people are mentioned in the histories of Greece, Egypt or any other ancient national group. By the 19th century, skeptical scholars had relegated these Biblical accounts to the realm of myth. With no archaeological evidence and no mention in known ancient sources, the Hittites seemed to be just another Biblical “myth.” However, archaeological discoveries in the late 19th and early 20th centuries produced evidence that the critics were wrong and the Bible right about the Hittites. read more
