Dear PB I am reading an interesting book (written by a local, hence South African, preacher), titled "The Wonder of Jesus in the Old Testament," given to me by a friend, whom I am not sure is reformed. I understand the view that the Angel of the Lord may be/probably is Jesus. What I am...

I have been reading through Matthew in my morning devotionals, and this morning I was reading the Parable of the Sower. I had taken a class on the life and teachings of Jesus three years ago, and I was reminded of a document we were assigned to read on the parables (which I still have on my...

I am looking for an article that argues and demonstrates that Jesus kept each one of the Ten Commandments. I want to share such article with some dispensationalist colleagues. Please share if you know of one.

I made this thread because I would like for the PB community to select your favorite citations/quotes/selections on the subject of the deity of Jesus Christ, especially those written by the puritans and church fathers, and share them here. Please inform the source. Here is one of my...

Is praying "In Jesus Name" only available for the apostles? Don't all NT saints automatically pray "through Jesus Christ" since Jesus is the mediator for all of his saints? Do our prayers have to directly be for God's glory or can we have other motives (non sinful of course)? All we have to do...

Someone in my family no longer believes Jesus Christ is God because of their recent belief of Messianic Judaism. According to my family member, Jesus is the Jewish Messiah and is the Son of God, but isn't God. Well, I believe there are different variations of Messianic Jews, but the Messianic...

In what sense did Jesus take God's wrath on the Cross? It seems to me that scripture focuses more on the physical death, as Peter says, he bore our sins in His body. As I understand it the death of Christ met the requirements of God's law and is therefore propitious. But there does seem to be a...

Hello! As many of you know, our church has been doing little videos to bring attention to various Bible-related issues. It has been going fairly well. With our latest video, we are trying to get something bigger going; a nationwide push to evangelize our leaders, and call them to repentance...

One common objection against exclusive psalmody is that if we only sing the psalms we will fail to sing the “name that is above every other name” (Philippians 2:9). I believe this objection fails for a number of reasons: 1) Of the supposed hymnic fragments found in the New Testament, only...

In this episode, Office Hours continues with the Season 4 series entitled "Jesus is Really Better" on the Epistle to the Hebrews. This episode features Dr. S.M. Baugh, Professor of New Testament, who explains Hebrews 1 and offers guidance when reading (or better, hearing) the letter as a whole...

The Bible tells us that Jesus knew that Judas would betray him, but does it say if he was emotionally hurt when Judas betrayed him? I figure that on the one hand he should not have been hurt since it was part of God's plan to fulfill prophecy, but on the other hand Jesus did express emotions and...

I'm curious about a particular text at the very end of John's Gospel John 21:20Peter turned and saw the disciple whom Jesus loved following them, the one who had been reclining at table close to him and had said, "Lord, who is it that is going to betray you?" 21When Peter saw him, he said to...
