Promoting the “God-man” Is “Antichrist”

Promoting the “God-man” Is “Antichrist”

The God-Man

Trinitarianism asserts that Jesus Christ is a “God-man”. However, promoting this “God-man” is actually “antichrist”. How so? Notice:

“God-man (Koinē Greek: θεάνθρωπος, romanized: theánthropos; Latin: deus homo is a term which refers to the incarnation and the hypostatic union of Christ, which are two of mainstream Christianity‘s most widely accepted and revered christological doctrines. The first usage of the term “God-man” as a theological concept appears in the writing of the 3rd-century Church Father Origen:]’This substance of a soul, then, being intermediate between God and the flesh – it being impossible for the nature of God to intermingle with a body without an intermediate instrument –  the God-man is born.'”— Wikipedia read more

The evidence for the beginning of the universe just keeps on coming! The recent discovery of a supermassive black at the center of a a distant galaxy, some 13.3 billion light years away from earth is just such an example. read more

Jehovah’s Witnesses Anointed Problem

Jehovah’s Witnesses Anointed Problem

Is the Bible reliable?
Are there two classes of Christian?
The Jehovah’s Witnesses (JW’s) have for many years taught that baptized Christians in their organization fall into two classes, “anointed” (with a heavenly hope) and “other sheep” (with an earthly hope) Christians. This is explained in the following Wikipedia article:

“According to Watch Tower Society theology, salvation requires Christ’s mediation as part of God’s purpose to grant humans everlasting life, either in heaven (for 144,000 “anointed” Christians, or the “little flock”) or on earth (for the “other sheep”, the remainder of faithful humanity).[116] For anointed Witnesses, salvation is said to be achieved through their death and subsequent resurrection to heavenly life to share with Christ as a co-ruler of God’s kingdom;[117] for others, it is gained by preservation through the Great Tribulation and the battle of Armageddon.[118][119] Watch Tower Society publications state that salvation at Armageddon is also contingent on baptism, accurate knowledge of Bible truth, adherence to God’s standards of conduct and morality, use of the divine name “Jehovah” in worship,[120] membership of God’s “organization”,[121] and active support of anointed Christians.[122] Based on a literal interpretation of scriptures such as Revelation 14:1–4, Jehovah’s Witnesses believe that exactly 144,000 faithful Christians go to heaven as spirit creatures to rule with Christ in the kingdom of God.[123] They believe that most of those are already in heaven, and that the “remnant” at Revelation 12:17 (KJV) refers to those remaining alive on earth who will be immediately resurrected to heaven when they die or during the Great Tribulation. The Witnesses understand Jesus’ words at John 3:3—”except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God”—to apply to the 144,000 who are “born again” as “anointed” sons of God in heaven.[124] They associate the terms “Israel of God” (Galatians 6:16), “little flock” (Luke 12:32), and “the bride, the Lamb’s wife” (Revelation 21:9) in the New Testament with the “anointed”.[125][126] . . .  Jehovah’s Witnesses believe that being anointed involves a personal revelation by God’s spirit which “gives positive assurance of adoption” to the individual alone.[128] Only those claiming to be anointed partake of the unleavened bread and wine at the yearly commemoration of Christ’s death, or Memorial.”—Wikipedia, Jehovah’s Witnesses Beliefs read more

Jehovah’s Witnesses 1925 Prophetic Speculations Whitewashed

Jehovah’s Witnesses 1925 Prophetic Speculations Whitewashed

Jehovah's Witnesses False Prophecy

Jehovah’s Witnesses (“Bible Students”, as they called themselves then) were forecasting that 1925 would bring the end of the world, so to speak. However, everything they so boldly forecasted to occur in 1925 failed to materialize. Humble people admit their mistakes, and don’t blame others for them. Jehovah’s Witnesses (Bible Students) have had more than their share of failed expectations, so one would expect that they might apologize for their false prophetic speculations about the year 1925. read more

Failed Biosphere 2 – Evidence God & Bible Are True

Failed Biosphere 2 – Evidence God & Bible Are True

The failed Biosphere 2 experiment of the early 1990’s illustrates what the Bible said all along. Scriptures are interspersed throughout this article amidst quotes from the BBC article about Biosphere 2

“In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth” (Genesis 1:1).

“How the Biosphere 2 experiment changed our understanding of the Earth—July 5, 2025

In the early 1990s, a small team tried to survive in a hermetically sealed space containing replicas of Earth’s ecosystems. Their trials and discoveries still have repercussions today.
Glittering in the vast expanses of the Arizona desert lies a structure that seems torn straight out of the pages of science fiction.
Inside a massive complex of glass pyramids, domes and towers, spread across three acres (1.2 hectares), stands a tropical rainforest topped by a 25ft (7.6m) waterfall, a savannah and a fog desert. They sit alongside a mangrove-studded wetland and an ocean larger than an Olympic swimming pool which includes its own living coral reef.
It’s seemingly a little capsule of Earth, which is why the structure is called Biosphere 2 – named after our own planet, Biosphere 1.
The desolate landscape forms the perfect backdrop for the futuristic experiment that once took place here. In the early 1990s, eight people locked themselves inside, sealed off from the outside world for two years, to explore the challenges of living in a self-contained system – a prerequisite for building colonies in outer space. They fed themselves from the crops they grew, they recycled their own wastewater and they tended to the plants that produced their oxygen. read more

Jesus’ Opponents

Jesus’ Opponents

 

Jesus Christ, the Son of God, the greatest man who ever lived had many powerful opponents. Why? Who were Jesus opponents? Lets’s see what the scriptures tell us. The Gospel of Mark  is particularly helpful in this regard.

“Then they came again to Jerusalem. And as He was walking in the temple, the chief priests and the scribes and the elders came to Him” (Mark 11:27 Legacy Standard Bible).

and the chief priests, scribes, and elders came up to Him
This group represents the Sanhedrin, the highest Jewish council and court. The chief priests were responsible for temple rituals, the scribes were experts in the Law, and the elders were respected leaders. Their approach to Jesus signifies a confrontation, as they were threatened by His teachings and actions. This encounter is part of a series of challenges to Jesus’ authority, which ultimately leads to His crucifixion. Their questioning reflects the fulfillment of prophecies about the Messiah being rejected by the leaders of His own people (Psalm 118:22).—Bible Hub Study Bible read more

When Was the Gospel of Matthew Written?

When Was the Gospel of Matthew Written?

The Gospel of Matthew was written anonymously, but was universally attributed to Jesus apostle Matthew, until the 1800’s. Today, most scholars, and skeptics and critics no longer believe this. Instead, they claim the Gospel of Matthew is based largely on the Gospel of Mark, which they assert was written first, and also on the totally speculative “Q” source. They claim, therefore, that Matthew is unlikely to have been written by one of Jesus closest followers, namely the former tax collector, and apostle of Jesus, Matthew Levi, but instead was written in the 80’s or 90’s CE by one or more second generation disciples. What does the evidence actually show as to when the Gospel of Matthew was written? read more

Nontrinitarianism

Nontrinitarianism

Ephesians
The Book of Ephesians provides some clues as to Nontinitarianism.
  Most Christians believe in the doctrine of the Trinity. But what is Nontrinitarianism?  

“The trinity of God is defined by the church as the belief that in God are three persons who subsist in one nature”—Dictionary of the Bible, page 800, by John L McKenzie, S. J.

Something “defined by the church” influences many people in the world. But, more importantly, is “the trinity of God” found in the scriptures?

“The brief as so defined by the church was reached only in the 4th and 5th centuries AD and hence is not explicitly and formally a biblical belief”—Dictionary of the Bible, page 800, by John L McKenzie, S. J. read more

Can Order Exist Without Design?

Can Order Exist Without Design?

Universe

Skeptics, critics, and atheists insist that order can exist without design. Can there be order without design?

The Bible, however, raises a logical question, and then provides a brief, but profound, answer:

“Look up at the sky! Who created the stars you see? The one who leads them out like an army, he knows how many there are and calls each one by name! His power is so great–not one of them is ever missing!”—Isaiah 40:26 Good News Translation

However, skeptics, critics, and atheists say: “Believers in God are confusing design and order, which are not the same thing. If there is design, then there is order, but if there is order, there is not necessarily design. For example, there is order in the way the planets orbit the Sun, but there is no good evidence that anybody designed it that way. And there is evidence that this order is just part of the inherent fabric of the universe. Gravity is a fact.” read more

Is God Only One, or 3-in-1?

Is God only one, or is he 3-in-1? 

“The Trinity (Latin: Trinitas, lit.‘triad’, from trinus ‘threefold’)[1] is the Christian doctrineconcerning the nature of God, which defines one God existing in three, coeternal, consubstantial divine persons:[2][3] God the Father, God the Son (Jesus Christ) and God the Holy Spirit, three distinct persons (hypostases) sharing one essence/substance/nature (homoousion)”—Wikipedia

The important thing is, “What does the Bible say?” Let’s see, by examining the scriptures. read more
