don’t follow me. Follow Jesus. It’s a movement pointing to his words who he was. Inspire people to read it for themselves. To ask Jesus into their lives.
Jesus on the mount of transfiguration
He was transfigured before them.
His face shone like the sun, and His clothes became as white as the light.
Moses and Elijah appeared to them, talking with Him.
“This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. Hear Him!”
The Son and the Father
Eternally connected.
The begotten Son is the exact representation of the Father.
One in essence, purpose, and will.
Can God be corrupted on earth by the needs and wants of the instincts that afflict mankind. Their creation.
Seeing some buzz about the eternal generation of the Son (EGS), for those of you who might not know what all that means here’s an attempt to let you in on the topic. The EGS is a doctrine affirming that the Son possesses his divine nature through being eternally begotten of the Father, thereby holding the same divine essence/nature/being as the Father. This all has stood as foundational to the doctrine of the Trinity and has been affirmed across the Nicene and Athanasian Creeds and by virtually every significant theologian (that I can think of) over the last 1800 years.
The doctrine has several critical dimensions. The Father’s generation of the Son comprises a necessary act of God, not a contingent decision; a distinction crucial because if the Son’s existence depended on the Father’s optional choice, the Son would not possess true deity or equality with the Father. This generation occurs eternally, not as a completed event in the distant past but as a timeless act of perpetual present (simultaneously ongoing and ever finished).
Importantly, the Father generates the Son’s personal subsistence rather than the divine essence itself, while simultaneously communicating the entire divine essence to him. When the Father eternally begets the Son and communicates the divine nature to him, the divine nature remains undivided, accounting for a second divine person without creating a second God.
The doctrine employs “begetting” language deliberately. The idea is this: just as Adam fathered Seth by communicating human nature to him, so the Father has eternally begotten the Son, eternally communicating divine nature to him (though this creaturely analogy must not be used to measure the divine relation itself). While the doctrine transcends our human comprehension, limited as my thinking is by time and my finite reality, it remains a teaching (as systematic theologian Scott Swain words it) “given to us in the gospel” and grasped through faith.

John 10:10 NKJV
Another Muslim has abandoned Islam and accepted Christ. He also converted 2 of his Muslim friends to Christianity in the process, Glory to God.
IP and I spoke to him recently, and after we talked, he did his research, got a sign from God, and the rest was history. @InspiringPhilos
Lord willing, I am going live to discuss a new aspect of the Islamic Dilemma: https://t.co/GBbBn8Wi6p

If you come to mock and blaspheme you will be blocked.
A TikToker from England who spent years defending Islam to more than 100,000 followers is speaking out about his decision to follow Christ — describing the theological doubts, death threats from former supporters, and a series of vivid dreams involving Jesus that ultimately changed the course of his life. Before publicly embracing Christianity, Kieos had spent years creating Islamic content & defending Islam to an audience of more than 100,000 followers.
Kieos is clear that leaving Islam was not a sudden or dramatic departure. "It was definitely a slow, gradual process."
Then, a striking moment in Kieos' journey came. On three consecutive nights, he says he dreamed of Jesus — an experience he still finds difficult to fully explain.
"I never have dreams," he told Britannia Daily. He acknowledges the psychological interpretation but says it does not account for his specific circumstances. "People could argue that if I were looking at images of Jesus, they could be brought forward in my subconscious whilst sleeping. But I never did, which makes it strange."
