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 [...]

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 [...]

Christ’s self Identity in light of intermediary beings by Pastor Rudolph Boshoff.

There just never seems to be a lack of keen interest in the study of the Person and place of Jesus Christ. Personally, I am challenged often by Unitarians to frequent a better understanding of “agency” if I am going to study Christ truthfully in the Jewish scheme of things, which conclusively shows him to be just an “intermediary being, agent, or deputy”. I have had a Unitarian say, “Read the Apostle Paul! He wrote; [...]

What Fresco’s reveal in a Church discovered in Nevşehir, Turkey.

Matt Atherton wrote an article on the 27th of January 2016 sharing the exciting discovery of one of the oldest underground cities. The most exciting part of the discovery is the fresco's that are depicted in the Church. Let me share an excerpt from the article: "An 1,500-year-old underground church has been discovered in Turkey with never-before-seen frescoes depicting Jesus and "bad souls being killed". The church was found in the world's largest known underground [...]

Easy Believism by Pastor Rudolph Boshoff

"Easy-believism" is one of "Easy Christianity's" popular teachings. Like other false teachings "Easy-believism" is a perversion of truth. The Bible teaches--as Martin Luther and the Reformation proclaimed--that we are made right with God by faith in Christ alone. We grant that salvation is by faith alone. The question is easy-faith or biblical faith!  Thanks to Dr Macarthur, we now know the answer to that question. The reason easy believism is so eminent in our Churches [...]

Christ vs. churchianity by Pastor Rudolph Boshoff

 I sincerely hope everyone goes out and buy a copy of this new magazine? There is a very interesting article op Pg 12 on the "Triumphant Church". Journalist Liesl Pyper looks specifically at Charismatic and Pentecostal Churches within Africa and investigates the core pulse of their amazing growth. She basically asks the question: "Why is Christianity growing in Africa?” Allow me to highlight her words with the following brief summary: “Early Christianity in Europe thrived because people [...]

Divine prefigurements in the early Jewish understanding of Yahweh by Pastor Rudolph Boshoff.

This article prompts to look at the early Jewish understanding of the place of Divine “beings” of deific nature through which Yahweh’s mediation effectuated. The early Christian understanding was vastly Jewish and therefore the idea of an “absolute Oneness” of God very different for the Ancient near eastern understanding. We also need to interpret and understand our own key biblical concepts and definitions surrounding the modern assimilation of “unity” in light of the A.N.E peoples.I [...]

The Gospel According to Jesus – Presuppositions by Pastor Rudolph Boshoff

A "do it yourself" catalog firm received the following letter from one of its customers: "I built a birdhouse according to your stupid plans, and not only is it much too big, it keeps blowing out of the tree. Signed, Unhappy. The "do it yourself" catalog firm replied: "Dear Unhappy, We're sorry about the mix-up. We accidentally sent you a sailboat blueprint.

Early Christological confessions found in the House of Peter also the Home of Jesus in Capernaum by Pastor Rudolph Boshoff

How the remnants of the humble dwelling of Jesus in Capernaum illuminate how Christianity began? For much of his adult life, Jesus resided in the small fishing village of Capernaum on the Sea of Galilee. It was here during the infancy of early Christianity that he began his ministry in the town synagogue (Mark 1:21), recruited his first disciples (Mark 1:16–20) and became renowned for his power to heal the sick and infirm (Mark 3:1–5). [...]

Waiting for God – St. Augustine

Why God Makes Us Wait. The entire life of a good Christian is an exercise in holy desire. You do not see what you long for, but the very act of desiring prepares you, so that when God comes you may see and be utterly satisfied. Suppose you are going to fill some holder or container, and you know you will be given a large amount. Then you set about stretching your sack or wineskin [...]
