Jesus, Yahweh, And The Power Over The Storm

...Lord over creation, commanding nature with His word. Psalms 107:28–29 provides a vivid picture of this divine authority: Then they cried to the LORD in their trouble,and he brought them out from their distress;he made the storm be still,and the waves of the sea were hushed. In these verses, Yahweh’s power is evident. The psalmist recounts how those in distress cry out to the LORD, and He responds by stilling the storm, bringing calm to the raging seas. This act is not just a display of power but a revelation of His compassion and sovereignty over the natural world. This passage is reminiscent of the story of Jonah, where God’s interaction with the sea...

The epistle of Barnabas conveys it well: The sabbaths, that now are, are not acceptable unto me, but that which I have made is, even that in which, after that I have brought all things to an end, I shall make a beginning of the eighth day, which thing is the beginning of another world. Wherefore we keep the eighth day as a day of gladness, on which also Jesus rose from the dead, and after he had appeared ascended unto heaven. Barnabas 15:8,9   An unexpected twist...

Lent Day 28: Athanasius: Life of Anthony: Chaps. 71-80

...se all of creation with the Greek legends of Poseidon, Apollo, Artemis etc, they “do not worship God Himself, but serve the creature rather than God who created all things” and “make gods of the things created” instead of giving the rightful honour to the “master builder” who is the Creator of all things; and at this, Anthony silenced his opponents. Anthony’s critics silenced He continued to preach the message of the Cross to them though: “Tell us therefore where your oracles are now? Where are the charms of the Egyptians? Where the delusions of the magicians? When did all these things cease and grow weak except when the Cross of Christ arose?...

Evidence of the Trinity in the Hebrew Scriptures

...e for the creation of the heavens and the earth. It is clear that he cannot be speaking of anyone other than God. But then in verse 16, the speaker refers to himself using the pronouns of I and me and then distinguishes himself from two other personalities. He distinguishes himself from the Lord YHVH and then from the Spirit of God. Here is the Tri-unity as clearly defined as the Hebrew Scriptures make it. In the second passage, there is a reflection back to the time of the Exodus where all three personalities were present and active. The Lord YHVH is referred to in verse 7, the Angel of YHVH in verse 9 and the Spirit of God in verses 10, 11 and 14. While often...
