Many believers like myself sense a lack in Christendom regarding the third distinction in the trinity, the Spirit. We are apt to pray towards our Father who art in heaven. We are especially knowledgable and appreciative of the Son of God who became a man to die for our sins. Yet, when referring to the third... Continue Reading →
In my last two posts, I both laid out a christology that exemplified the divinity and humanity of Christ and described the process of reproduction that He undergoes in each of His believers to make them the same as He is. In short, the Son of God became a man, thus becoming a God-man; and... Continue Reading →
"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." John 1:1 "Christ Jesus, who, existing in the form of God, did not consider being equal with God a treasure to be grasped, but emptied Himself, taking the form of a slave, becoming in the likeness of men"...

"In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth." Genesis 1:1 In Genesis 1 and 2, God acts as God. He is sovereign, independent, and completely in control. "God created," "God said," "God formed," are all evidence of this. After Genesis 2, you'd be hard pressed to find this sort of direct intervention in the Bible.... Continue Reading →
The Lord Jesus Christ is a wonderful person. The more you seek to know Him, the more you realize that He is unsearchably rich (Eph. 3:8). In order to give a proper, full account of this wonderful person, there was the need for not one, but four gospels. These gospels are biographies of the Lord Jesus,... Continue Reading →
In my last post, I wrote about the doctrine of deification and it's pervading presence in the Bible and church history. Now I'd like to mark some particular aspects of God and who He is in His nature that He so graciously allows us to share in. Life "Jesus said to him, 'I am the... Continue Reading →
In my last post, I wrote about just how far man has fallen. We are utterly fallen, satanic, dead, evil, and by nature enemies of God. Now I'd like to talk about not just our salvation, but about the end result of the salvation of man, and what exactly we become. "God became man... Continue Reading →
"And beginning from Moses and from all the prophets, He explained to them clearly in all the Scriptures the things concerning Himself." Luke 24:27 The Old Testament has been the cause of much struggle, doubt, and disbelief among many Christians or potential believers today. It seems to have little relevance to us today, minus the...

When considering God, most people primarily think of Him as the Creator, King, Judge, or Savior. These are all definite titles and attributes of the Lord, but God does not want to be primarily known as such things. I'd like to make the case that God has always desired to present Himself to man as... Continue Reading →
Major Problem in Christianity I recently had to confess and repent to the Lord that "I am a tritheist."There is a strong emphasis in Christianity today concerning the "threeness" of God, and the unfortunate result of such a tendency is tritheism. The picture shown above is the modern conception that most Christians have when considering the... Continue Reading →
