God and Christ  IN OUR STUDIES of the Scriptures, we frequently come across such expressions as “giving glory to God,” or “to God be the glory.” Peter, in one of his letters, uses the phrase, “that in all God may be glorified,” and Paul presses his readers at Corinth to “do all for the glory…

God and Christ  ONE of our great difficulties in understanding Scripture comes about through our unwillingness or inability to distinguish between the relative and the absolute1. Because of this, we come up against seeming contradictions, and the general tendency is to accept the relative rather than the absolute. Both are true, but in different circumstances,…

God and Christ  IN THIS SERIES of studies upon the deity of God, we have endeavored to show that we have a God Who is Supreme at all times, never for one moment giving up the glory of His supremacy to another. Our God is a God Who is operating all in accord with the…

God and Christ THE doctrine of the Trinity is nowhere expressed or explained in the Scriptures, hence any discussion of it must depend on writings outside the Word of God. We have often wished for a short, authoritative statement, upon which an examination might be based. This has been furnished in the form of an…

God and Christ Hear, O Israel; The Name, our God is one Name and you love the Name, your God, with all your heart, and with all your soul and all your vehemence. In Jerusalem, as I was entering my pension, a companion noticed a small, metallic tube, fastened to the door frame, containing some…

God and Christ  WE pointed out in the last article under this title that we get into difficulties whenever we use terms that are not in the Scriptures to describe scriptural matters, and we instanced the word “Trinity” as one such case.

God and Christ IN THIS current era of grace, believers in Christ are no longer under law; this is the position emphasized by Paul in Galatians. We are under grace, and it is very good for us that we are, for if we were still under law, we would be bound by all its terms…

God and Christ  THE great French composer, Charles Gounod, once paid a generous tribute to his Austrian counterpart, Mozart. Gounod remarked, “When I was twenty, I used to say, ‘I.’ When I was thirty, I said, ‘I and Mozart.’ When I was forty, I said, ‘Mozart and I.’ But now I am sixty, I say,…

God and Christ The many editorials written by A. E. Knoch for this magazine through the years contain a rich testimony to the deity of God. Reliance on the living God, His power, righteousness and love, as it is centered in His Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, is a major theme throughout these brief writings. Starting…

God and Christ   Concordant Studies WE BELIEVE that, ultimately speaking, “there is no other God except One” (1 Cor.8:4b). That One, is “the Father, out of Whom all is” (1 Cor. 8:6). He alone is the Supreme (Lam. 3:38; Dan. 4:17); He alone is the Almighty (2 Cor. 6:18; Rev.16:14). In Hebrew, “Yahweh” is God’s…
