Jesus, The Son of God

H.J. VineA welcome calm followed the bitter storm! Certain religious leaders questioned a poor man regarding his life-long blindness, and how he was saved from it. Born blind, he now stood before them with good eye-sight. How was this to be explained? The blind bigotry of these men made them despisers of the... Read More

Pre-eminence

H.J. Vine“That in all things He might have the Pre-eminence” (Colossians 1:18). The question of pre-eminence has been settled long since. It has been settled unalterably by the One who could do it with authority and finality—by our blessed God Himself. Pride, restlessness, and ambition have at all times aime... Read More

The World’s Maker, Israel’s King and God’s Children

Wisdom and Life

H.J. Vine“He expounded to them in all the Scriptures things concerning Himself” (Luke 24).

Is the God of Chrstianity and the God of Islam the same?

No, the God of Christianity and the God of Islam are not the same. First of all, the God of Christianity is a Trinity where the God of Islam is not. The Trinity is the monotheistic teaching that God exists eternally as three distinct persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. In Islam, this ... Read More

Muslims deny the Christian doctrine of the Trinity. They are so strict in their monotheism that no plurality within God can possibly exist. Many of them erringly assert that the Trinity is really a deceptive doctrine of three gods. Of course it is not, but that does not stop them from claiming it is... Read More

Who has performed the greatest act of love? Yahweh or Allah

In Islam, what is the greatest act of love Allah has ever accomplished? I asked this question of several Muslims and I got similar answers: he forgave us of our sins; he gave us families and provisions; he showed us mercy; he gave us the Qur'an. The answers didn't vary much beyond these responses. I... Read More

FREE-BORN

Miles J. Stanford"For I through the law died unto the law, that I might live unto God " (Galatians 2:19, ASV). No true believer expects the Law to give life, yet many expect it to govern life. Too few realize that their death on the Cross separated them from the entire principle of law, and that their resurrection u... Read More
