Knowing the One true God: A reflection on John 17:1-6 by Pastor Rudolph Boshoff.
(10-minute read). In my last two debates with respected Muslim Scholars Sheikh Molana Abu Bakr Akoo and Sheikh Musa Adam, both mentioned John 17:3 as a prime example of Jesus’ denial of His own Divinity. It reads as follow: “And this is eternal life, that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent.” (John 17:3 E.S.V.). Both mentioned a similar point in that Jesus pointed up to heaven (something [...]
“Our God is Triune: Essays in Exegetical Theology” book.
I had the opportunity to collaborate with some incredible authors/Theologians (Edward Dalcour, Hiram R. Diaz III, Cab Malone, and Michael Burgos) to produce a book to be released later this year."Our God is Triune: Essays in Exegetical Theology". Here is a tentative picture of the cover and table of contents:

The ‘One GOD’ of Christ in Me International [Christ in me Collective] (Part 2) by Pastor Rudolph Boshoff.
(Average read: 5 Minutes). This is the second installment where I set out to show the simple inconsistencies and the poor reflection on the Scriptures from "Christ In Me International" (PTA). From here on, I will refer to ‘Christ in Me International’ in abbreviated terms as ‘CIMI’.The availability of their article is found at the following link: ‘One God’. Let us look at their perspective and reply to it step by step. CIMI states: Scripture [...]

The ‘One GOD’ of Christ in Me International (Part 1) [Christ in me Collective] by Pastor Rudolph Boshoff.
(Average read: 5 Minutes). I am appreciative of ‘Christ in Me International’s attempt to explain their perspective on the roots and definition of the Doctrine of the Trinity and Jesus Christ. In this article, I will look at the context of the Scriptures they mention as well as the validity of their own teachings surrounding these portions and clarify the orthodox (original) historical understanding of what these Scriptures teach in the Biblical context (exegesis[1]). From [...]
3 Common misunderstandings of the Reformer John Calvin (1509-1564) by Pastor Rudolph Boshoff
(Average reading time: 4 minutes) A while back I posted an article looking at the common objections raised against the scholar Jacob Arminius (1559-1609) and subsequently thought to also write about three common misunderstandings surrounding John Calvin as well (1509-1564). Here are three misconceptions: Calvin killed Servetus. A Catholic revert from the reformation Jerome Bolsec started writing elaborate accusations against Calvin about 13 years after his death accusing the reformer of lewd acts, murder and [...]
Bearing false witness? A short description of the central issues with Jacob Arminius (1559-1609) by Pastor Rudolph Boshoff.
(Average reading time: 10 minutes) Born almost a century after Martin Luther, Dutch theologian, minister, and Professor at Leiden University, Jacob Arminius (1559-1609) is purported to be a very controversial figure in the early Reformation.[1] Historically he is caricatured as the antitypical hero who was seemingly instrumental in derailing the pinnacle axis of the Reformation. Theologian Carl Bangs says; "Calvinism came in, Arminius nearly ruined it, and the Synod of Dort restored it."[2] Historical Theologian [...]
Is Christ in Me International a Cult? – A Response by Don and Joy Veinot
Christ in Me International (CiMI) is a New Religious Movement developing in South Africa. We were alerted to its existence when we began receiving emails and requests for information: Is this a group that falls within the historic Christian faith but engages in some odd practices, or does the New Religious Movement fall outside the pale of orthodoxy? We have done two web casts on this subject with a concerned pastor from that area, Rudolph Boshoff [...]
The Mind and Spirit of the Book of Allah by John Gilchrist.
1. ALLAH – THE CENTRAL THEME OF THE QUR'AN THE FOCAL POINT: "THERE IS NO GOD BUT ALLAH" If it were to be asked what convicted Muhammad more than anything else that he was called to be the last of God's prophets it could be said that his initial visions on Mount Hira were sufficient to persuade him that everything that "came" to him thereafter, whether by exoteric experience or inner inspiration, had a supernatural [...]
