Gnostic Motifs in the text of the Qur’an by Rudolph P. Boshoff

Gnostic elements in the Qur’an are often subtle and debated, but scholars have noted possible connections between some Qur’anic passages and apocryphal, midrashic, and extra-biblical Jewish and Christian traditions, including some with Gnostic overtones. Below is a short description of how Gnostic or apocryphal elements may be found in the following Qur’anic passages. These passages parallel the revelation found in the Qur'an. Why is this problematic? The presence of Gnostic, apocryphal, and Midrashic elements in [...]

Does the Qur’an validate the New Testament? by by Pastor Rudolph P. Boshoff

In the previous debate, I attempted to demonstrate that a cursory reading of the Qur'an reveals that it speaks positively about the Christian Scriptures. Unfortunately, due to loadshedding in South Africa, my internet line was unstable, and I could not really anticipate the other speaker's questions and opinions. So let me start by showing you what the Qur'an says.   The Qur'an's respectful view of the Bible. The Qur'an says that the original New Testament [...]

Evaluating the “Baur/Ehrman” hypothesis on “Diverse Christianities” and its effects on “underdog” Gnosticism by Pastor Rudolph Boshoff.

Dr. Bart D. Ehrman, Professor of Religious Studies at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill dirges about early Christianity being “non-monolithic”. He writes; “Arguably the most significant breakthrough in the modern understanding of early Christianity is the realization that, contrary to what had earlier been thought, this religion was exceptionally diverse. The older, traditional view (which prevailed till the mid-twentieth century) was that Christianity was basically monolithic, that there was one dominant form [...]

Was Jesus the reincarnation or re-invention of Mithras or Horus by Pastor Rudolph Boshoff

Currently from all different spheres of influence (the new atheist’s; Jesus scholars as well as the National Geographic Channel), we are experiencing a lot of ludicrous attempts to discredit the historical fact and the liable scriptural evidence of who Jesus Christ really was (and is.) Numerous attempts have been made to bring similarities between Christ and Mithras, Simon Magus and Apollonius of Tyana. The Apostles and early writers of the New Testament have been accused [...]
