Fully man and fully God - the Hypostatic union - the mystery of Christ.

God's Light came to Israel who was to share that Light with the nations. Abraham saw it in his vision of the smoking oven and the flaming torch, Moses saw it in the burning bush, Israel saw it in the pillar of cloud/fire.

The prophecy in Malachi speaks of Elijah, but there is nothing more distinctly affirmed in the New Testament than the identity of John the Baptist as the Elijah of Malachi

Is John alone in this perception that the Word, Yeshua, is the Creator of all things, upon whom all things depend for their existence? The answer is clearly, 'No.' John is not alone in this perception of Yeshua.

Since Yeshua is God, then people can know what God is like. To know Yeshua is to know God, for Yeshua said, 'He who has seen Me has seen the Father.'

I don't say this to be mean, but anyone who denies the deity of Yeshua or the Trinity is not very familiar with the Hebrew Scriptures.

When and why was the Gospel of John written, and why is it so different from the other three gospels?

The majority view of this text is that Paul is talking about the physical creation. Most believers see this text as talking about the physical re-creation of earth. Is that what is being discussed here?

Who was it that wrote this Fourth Gospel? In the popular view the author of the fourth Gospel is normally viewed as the aging Apostle John, but it is important to remember that nowhere in the Gospel does the author actually state his name.

Does creation - nature itself, reveal Yahweh to the world?

It seems like everyday our country moves further away from Yahweh, the God of the Bible. Wrong has become right and right has become wrong. Our new heros are transgenders.

We pretty much know for sure Jesus was not born on December 25th, but why is that date significant? What did the stars reveal about the Messiah - the wise men knew, do you?

I believe that many Western Muslims are peaceful people who are not well educated about their own religion, and some of them really don't know the real violent nature of it, and of Muhammad's life, for example.

Paul promised his hearers relief in their lifetime - to come at the appearing of the Son - are they still waiting?

How much joy and happiness should the thought of receiving forgiveness from Yahweh bring to us?

The Syrian refugee crisis is a hot topic with believers lining up on both sides, but we all have to stop and ask ourselves, 'What does the Bible say that our response should be?'

Hebrews 6 and 10 are most often used against a view of eternal security, but what are they really saying on the topic?

Can you lose salvation? Is your salvation by grace through the work of Christ, or are you keeping yourself saved by something you are doing - some kind of work on your part?

Jude tells his first century audience that they are to be, "Waiting anxiously for the mercy of our Lord Yeshua the Christ to eternal life"—most all commentators apply this exhortation to believers today. They say that "we" are to be waiting anxiously.

Jude has spent many verses dealing with the apostates who have crept in, now he offers his readers an antidote against such apostasy.

These are grumblers, finding fault, following after their own lusts; they speak arrogantly, flattering people for the sake of gaining an advantage.

Jude reminds his readers that Enoch had prophesied judgment would come upon apostates. This quote was taken directly from the Book of Enoch. The Bible does not record this prophecy of Enoch in any other place

Jude tells us that these apostates sneak into the Church unnoticed. They try to blend in; they try to look spiritual.
