Two Vital Questions

I have read the whole Bible and attended various Catholic and Protestant churches, and after much study and exploration I believe I have a pretty good idea of the central doctrines and tenets of the Christian faith. Those who have read my essay entitled An Almighty Predicament will know that there are some aspects of Continue reading

Is God Able to Lie?

It seems to me logical, sensible, and obvious, that an all-powerful God, who is creator and sustainer of the universe, can do whatever He pleases. Indeed, there is a scripture that says as much: But our God is in heaven; He does whatever He pleases. (Psalm 115:3 NKJV) Yet I often hear Christians saying that Continue reading

‘Unlocking the Bible’ by David Pawson (book review)

The Logos as a Person

In my last post I looked at an interesting way of understanding what it means for the person of Jesus to have been the ‘Word’ or ‘Logos’ from eternity past, as is indicated in the opening of the Gospel according to John.

Jesus as Logos

The writer of the book of John opens his gospel with some very well-known words. These words have been used by theologians as evidence that Jesus has existed eternally, alongside God the Father and God the Holy Spirit: In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
