John McKee discusses how the message of the gospel and the Holy Scriptures is one which is frequently subverting the claims of the world. This is particularly seen when delving into Colossians 1:15-20, and comparing and contrasting the activity of Yeshua with that of the figure of Wisdom, and how it especially affects our understanding of Yeshua’s Divinity.
Divinity of Yeshua
Messianic Apologetics editor John McKee discusses the development of one our ministry’s most important resources: Salvation on the Line. This massive publication addresses several hundred Bible passages, robustly defending the Divinity of Yeshua.
Yeshua was seen to dismiss the claim that He was somehow “good,” instead stating that only God was good. Would this not imply that the Messiah was not God?
Yeshua said, “the Father is Greater than I.” Some use this as a claim to prove that the Messiah cannot be God.
Messianic Apologetics editor John McKee reviews some of the complexities of Colossians 1:15-20. What does this passage communicate about the nature of Yeshua? In what significant way was Yeshua depicted as sharing some of the same qualities as the figure of Wisdom—but also be significantly different than Wisdom?
This is then followed by a review of important stories and issues from the past day or so, largely witnessed on social media.
How important is worship of Yeshua, witnessed in the Scriptures, to regarding Yeshua as being genuinely God?
What is a Divine Identity Christology? How does a Divine Identity Christology serve as strong evidence of Yeshua the Messiah being God?
Why does the Messiah have to be Divine? How significant is the debate over the Divinity of Yeshua to contemporary Messianic theology?
Does your ministry believe that Yeshua the Messiah is Divine, meaning God in the flesh?
