The END of “Mystery Babylon”

The END of “Mystery Babylon”

May 7, 2025 Timothy Comments 11 comments

Today, in the heart of “Mystery Babylon, Mother of Harlots,” the conclave to select a new pope commences. Bishops wearing purple and Cardinals wearing red1 have flocked to Rome for this occasion. The death of pope Francis at this juncture in world history is significant. The Roman Catholic Church has been drifting to the left for some time, but Francis was far more radical than any of his predecessors. The woman has been riding the…

Last night Diane and I hosted the Passover meal, a sweet time of fellowship around remembering Jesus’ last Passover with His disciples. Rather than celebrating it when the Jews observe their Passover on the 14th or 15th of the month Nisan, this year I decided to observe it on the correct weekday (Thursday night) in order to keep the focus on the sequence of Jesus’ passion week. As I am typing this, around 8:30am Friday…

The distinction which divided Apostolic Christianity from all forms of Gnosticism was “preexistence” of Jesus, whether the divine Person of Logos (Word) actually “became flesh,” (a total transformation of ontological nature), that the Son of God literally “emptied Himself” of His equality with God by “becoming in the likeness of men,” “being made like unto His brethren.” All forms of Gnosticism denied that the Man Jesus preexisted and denied the possibility of a divine being…

Philippians 2:5-8 provides a critical proof that Jesus literally preexisted as God’s divine Son before He “became in the likeness of men.” This passage, plus Colossians 1:15-20, and several from John are absolutely decisive as long as the interpreter sticks to the norms of lexical meanings of the Greek terms and the norms of the Greek grammar and syntax. Unfortunately, both modern Trinitarians and Unitarians fudge in this regard in order to prop up their…

Hebrews 1:1-2 is used by ‘Biblical’ Unitarians as proof that the Son of God did not exist before the prophets. Yet they seriously misrepresent what the text actually indicates.

November 15, 2024 Timothy Comments 0 Comment

So-called ‘Biblical’ Unitarians claim that the Son of God only existed, before becoming flesh, only in the MIND of God as a figment of His imagination, in His “plan.” To support this claim, they typically begin with 1 Peter 1:20 which states that He was “foreknown” before the “foundation of the world” but was “manifested” in these times. They then appeal to the Calvinistic interpretation of “foreknown” (pro-ginosko), as having knowledge of someone before they…

One of the key differences between those who believe in the personal reign of Christ on earth for a thousand years and those who deny it is the question of the resurrection of the dead.

The “pre-millennial” interpretation requires a staged resurrection, the first being separated from the second by a thousand years….

According to the KJV, NKJV, and the Catholic Douay Rheims Bible, Nebuchadnezzar claimed that the fourth Man in the fiery furnace was “like the Son of God.” However, the vast majority of modern versions have “like a son of the gods.” This difference is because the KJV, NKJV do not slavishly follow the Hebrew Masoretic Text, but sometimes revert to readings in the Greek Septuagint especially in Christologically significant passages.

Biblical Unitarians validate their unbelief regarding the Son’s pre-human existence primarily on an argument from silence. They claim that the Synoptic Gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke) say absolutely nothing about preexistence. They then attempt to filter all of the preexistence language in John’s Gospel through a fabricated “Jewish” philosophical paradigm so that none of it is taken literally.

BBI II-A: #9 John the Baptist Testified to Jesus’ Preexistence (Jn. 1:15)

BBI II-A: #9 John the Baptist Testified to Jesus’ Preexistence (Jn. 1:15)

June 22, 2023 Timothy Comments 2 comments

In John 1:1-5 the apostle wrote of Jesus’ preexistence by claiming that He was “in the beginning,” that He was “with God” (external to God), but that He “was God” (using the personal noun “Theos” which always refers to a personal being). In verse 2 He repeated that He was “in the beginning with God.” In verse 3 John stated that everything that exists originated through Him, and nothing originated without Him. In the fourth…

BBI II-A: #8 “Ginomai” (Became) & “Monogenes” (Only-begotten) (Jn. 1:14)

BBI II-A: #8 “Ginomai” (Became) & “Monogenes” (Only-begotten) (Jn. 1:14)

June 20, 2023 Timothy Comments 0 Comment

In John 1:14, the clause, “And the Word became flesh” does not work in either a Trinitarian or Biblical Unitarian model. The meaning of the verb “ginomai” (became) in a predicate nominative construction requires that one person or thing that has a concrete and tangible existence is transformed into something or someone different with a concrete and tangible existence — a complete change in ontological nature, a new beginning as something different. Also, the word…

BBI II-A: #7 The One “Begotten out of God” later “Became Flesh” (Jn. 1:12-14)

In episode 7 of this series, we take a close look at John 1:12-14. Verse 13 contains a textual variant which most Christians are not familiar with. The common versions translate this verse as if it referred to Christians, “who were begotten (plural) … out of God.” However, three lines of evidence point to the singular reading, “who was begotten (singular) … out of God,” meaning the “Logos” who afterward “became flesh and dwelled among…

BBI II-A: #6 The Grammar proves that Jesus existed as Logos (Jn. 1:10-12)

April 26, 2023 Timothy Comments 2 comments

In the context of John 1:10-12, the pronouns (“Him” / “His”) refer to Jesus, the one we must “receive” and “believe in His name.” Yet, these pronouns require an antecedent noun as a referent which is the same gender and number (masculine, singular) as the pronouns. The only possible singular, masculine noun which can be the antecedent for these pronouns is the noun “Logos” (Word) in verse 1. This requires that “Logos” was a personal…

Have a Blessed Passover!

Have a Blessed Passover!

April 4, 2023 Timothy Comments 2 comments

Tonight is PASSOVER, the most awesome time of the year! It was on this night 1993 years ago that Jesus shared His last Passover with His disciples, knowing full well that in the morning He would be hanging on a cross, finishing the work that His Father sent Him here to do. Unfortunately, the Roman church sought to distance Christianity from all things Jewish, abandoning both the Feasts and the Sabbath. Most Christians do not…

BBI II-A: #5 Origin of the “WORD” as the first “LIFE” (Jn. 1:3-4)

BBI II-A: #5 Origin of the “WORD” as the first “LIFE” (Jn. 1:3-4)

March 29, 2023 Timothy Comments 14 comments

In lesson 5 we dig into the Greek text of John 1:3-4. This text was quoted quite differently by the early Christian writers from how it is translated in most of our modern Bibles. The punctuation in all of the critical printed editions of the Greek text of this passage is also ignored in most English versions. When we punctuate these verses as in the printed Greek texts and as quoted by the early Chrsitians,…
