In this article, instead of focusing on some issues concerning Protestant’s appeal to the Church Fathers and other historical conflicts. I will be pointing attention to some Deuterocanonical references/influences that are seen in the New Testament. This is problematic, because in Protestantism–a possible criterion proposed by Modern Scholarship is inter-canonical references. For example, the New…… Continue reading Protestants In Conflict With Scripture (Part 2)

The Old Testament Canon and Protestantism
A common objection that is posed when addressing the Canon dilemma from Protestants is “we can reject the Fathers that gave us the Canon because we reject the Jews that gave us the Canon”? There is some truth to this argument in terms of us receiving the Texts historically (i.e. passed Down via Moses and…… Continue reading The Old Testament Canon and Protestantism
A Question to the Heretics – “How Can Jesus be a Creature if He Commands the Gospel to Be Preached to All Creatures”
In this blog post I emphasize the genius of St. Ambrose in defending the Deity of Jesus. He makes the argument that if Jesus commands the Apostles to preach the Gospel to “all creatures” he essentially excludes himself as being a creature. Unless the heretics want to assert that Jesus needs the Gospel preached to…… Continue reading A Question to the Heretics – “How Can Jesus be a Creature if He Commands the Gospel to Be Preached to All Creatures”
St. Ambrose Destroys Kenosis Heresy & Nestorian Heresy
In this blog post, I emphasise in the passages from the writings of the Holy Saint and warrior for Jesus St. Ambrose. Where he shows that Jesus’ human and divine natures do become distinct in passages of Scripture, but never separated. Also, he shows that within the Corpus Christi, Jesus fully retains the Glory and…… Continue reading St. Ambrose Destroys Kenosis Heresy & Nestorian Heresy
No One Kept The Law of Moses before Moses – Eusebius
Many Judaizing groups will assert that before Moses, the ceremonial divisions of food and the Mosaic Sabbath was kept. This is far from the truth, even Jesus asserts that the Jews of His time “19Did Moses not give you the law, and yet none of you keepeth the law?” (John 7:19-24 DRA). I highlight some…… Continue reading No One Kept The Law of Moses before Moses – Eusebius
Patristic Evidence for Jesus’ Divinity – Daniel 7:9-14
As shown recently in other posts, the title “Son of Man” which Jesus associated Himself with in His Earthly Ministry is a title with Divine Undertones. The reasoning behind this is because the “Son of Man” that Jesus claims to be is the Son of Man that receives worship from all of the nations. Something…… Continue reading Patristic Evidence for Jesus’ Divinity – Daniel 7:9-14
Uriah Smith – A Confused Heretic – The Adventist Dilemma
On this platform, I have raised one of the most difficult dilemmas for the Seventh Day Adventists. This being the Incarnation Dilemma. This dilemma involves explaining how the One Person of Christ became incarnate and underwent death. In the Adventist position, death means a cessation of existence/consciousness. This becomes problematic since Adventist must assert that…… Continue reading Uriah Smith – A Confused Heretic – The Adventist Dilemma
Problems of Circularity in Coherentist Epistemology
In a recent dialogue with ChatGPT, I debated the topic of Coherentist epistemology. A big critique of Coherentism against Foundationalism is the idea of regress and circularity. However, Coherentism runs into the same issue when trying to justify the foundational principle that “justification is arrived at by coherence between a web of beliefs”. This is…… Continue reading Problems of Circularity in Coherentist Epistemology
Connection in Luke 18 – Jesus is Jehovah God – Refutation of Arianism and Nestorianism!
Reflecting on the Jesus Prayer (Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God have mercy on me a sinner), I went back to Luke 18. One of the possible pieces of Scripture that the Jesus Prayer is derived from. It is a parable about a Pharisee and a Poor Man. He also told this parable to some who…… Continue reading Connection in Luke 18 – Jesus is Jehovah God – Refutation of Arianism and Nestorianism!
Who wrote the Acts of the Apostles – Muslim Objections Refuted (P5)
Continuing the refutation of the “anonymous” authorship of the Gospels. The Acts of the Apostles is also vindicated via the Inspired and Preserved Teaching Office of the Apostles and their Successors. Further attesting to the veracity of the New Testament Scriptures; THAT the Acts of the Apostles is the writing of Luke the evangelist, is…… Continue reading Who wrote the Acts of the Apostles – Muslim Objections Refuted (P5)
