Click here for previous session       A brief summary, then, of these key points: 1.  Jesus differentiated between himself and God. On one hand he exalted God, but on the other hand he humbled himself before his Creator in worship. To his followers, Jesus defined himself as nothing more than a man and a prophet. 2.  The disciples agreed, and acknowledged Jesus Christ as a man and a prophet. 3.  The only New Testament verse (1 Timothy 3:16) held to support the doctrine of Incarnation is corrupt—even more, if it can be imagined, than the widely discredited John 1:14 and Colossians 2:9. 4.  The Bible describes the life and history of Jesus in terms which can...

We like to think not, but in fact nobody knows, and his loose clothes may be the reason. So, how many practicing Muslims does a person find dressed with Christ­like...

Click here for previous session     Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world. By this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God, and every spirit that does not confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is not of God. And this is the spirit of the Antichrist, which you have heard was coming, and is now already in the world. This verse not only clarifies the...

The next Roman emperor, Julian (361­363), attempted to resurrect the pagan cults, which were still powerful, both in numbers and wealth. He was replaced in short order by Emperor Jovian (363­64), a Christian, who was replaced in even shorter order by the sons, Valentinian (364­75) and Valens (364­78). This brings us...

Click here for previous reading   Fourteen hundred years have passed since the revelation of the Holy Qur’an, and to date this challenge hasn’t been met. No one has ever proven the reality of God to differ from the Islamic understanding.   Furthermore, no one has proven the teachings of Moses, Jesus, and Muhammad to conflict. In fact, many have suggested the exact opposite—that these three prophets firmly support one another. As a result, many sincere nuns, priests, ministers and rabbis—educated clergy who know their respective religions best—have embraced Islam.
