Addressing the Unitarian perversion of Colossians 1:16 by Vladimir Susic.

The Unitarian idea that the creation of the Church, rather than that of everything is in view in Colossians 1:16 is utterly inconceivable when the text is properly examined. Unitarians would like us to believe that In Colossians 1 the creation being spoken about is the arrangement and constitution of the Church, by Christ's death or by some other means rather than a physical act of Creation by Christ. One of the chief propaganda arms [...]

Boundaries in our discussion surrounding Functional Subordination by Pastor Rudolph Boshoff

The Westminster Confession of Faith reads: "In the unity of the Godhead, there be three Persons, of one substance, power, and eternity: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Ghost: the Father is of none, neither begotten, not proceeding; the Son is eternally begotten of the Father; the Holy Ghost eternally proceeding from the Father and the Son." (WCF II.3) In recent discussions surrounding the interpretation of the Biblical text and more [...]

The Witness motif prevalent in the textual understanding of Christ’s actual identity by Pastor Rudolph Boshoff.

The earliest understanding of the witness motif prevalent in a New Testament context seems to focus frequently on the actual content of the Witness (Dodd) or the validity of the Eyewitness testimony (Bauckham). With current questions in Christology that seems to ask about the earliest understanding of Christ’s own self-identity, I want to suggest in this short article that the ignored ingredient, when weighing the witness motif, is necessary to come to a full disclosed understanding [...]

Explicit Christology in “The Epistle of Ignatius to the Ephesians” written 105-115 A.D by Pastor Rudolph Boshoff

When we read one of the Earliest Christian letters Ignatius of Antioch wrote to the Church at Ephesus we see that quite a few Doctrines were firmly established. Equally interesting is to see how these Early Church Fathers affirmed that the Scriptures of Old and the Pauline text affirmed the Orthodox teaching within the Early Church. Here is what you will find when you read the Epistle of Ignatius to the Ephesians. Ignatius affirmed: Ignatius affirmed: [...]

A Vindication of Divine Paradox by Pastor Rudolph Boshoff

Since the beginning of time, man had a deep-seated restlessness that would express itself in the apparent need to partially comprehend Someone beyond themselves. In their articulation, words like “otherness” and “beyondness” come to mind when trying to explain ideas about God. Biblically, there is no doubt that God is wholly beyond us, and equally other than us. Numerous individual souls prolong their search through giving no attention to their inherent desire or simply because [...]

The beliefs of The Early Church in the regards to the Trinity and Deity of Christ – Vladimir Susic

In the light of recent videos made by my brother in Christ,Pastor Rudolph Boshoff about a particular group - "Christ in me International",a Gnostic group full of deniers of Christ's deity and The Trinity. The aim of this article is not to demonstrate Biblically that Christ is God or that Trinity is true,that was sufficiently demonstrated for centuries. The goal of this article is to historically demonstrate that the earliest disciples of the apostles of [...]

Why the God man – “Cur Deus Homo.” by Pastor Rudolph Boshoff.

What would the implications be if Jesus was not God? If Jesus wasn’t divine, why should we particularly care what he said? Why pay any more attention to him than to any other ethical thinker? Well for starters your sins would never be forgiven. (Psalm 49:7-9 & V/15) Anselm of Canterbury (c. 1033- 21 April 1109 aged 75) undertook to explain the rational necessity of the Christian mystery of the atonement. His philosophy rests on [...]

The Council of Nicaea and the Trinity by Pastor Rudolph Boshoff

I see there seem to be confusing to the reason for the Council of Nicaea from my Muslim friends. Many claim that the Trinity doctrine was invented by the Catholic Church at the council of Nicaea in Bithynia, (Turkey) in the 4th century(325.A.D.) but clearly History has a different story! There also seems to be an obliviousness to where Christians get this concept? So here is very basic reading for the reason and origin of [...]
