Theology

In a dispensation where truth is considered relative, many vicars preach about Christ's grace
and love without addressing sin and its consequences, manifesting in His wrath, judgment, or
second coming. Emphasizing the authority of the scriptures becomes crucial for people in this
confusing world. In this confused generation, it seems like people don't even know what they
are looking for. Reasoning, science, individualism, and technology are among the trending
trends in this world, and they are giving less regard to the work of God, as prophesized by
Apostle Paul: "For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but
according to their desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves
teachers and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables" (2
Tim. 4:3-4) and "Always learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth…
these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds; disapproved concerning the faith" (2 Timo.
3:7-8).
Because of the generation we are in, this research topic is undoubtedly worthy of any
Christian, especially missionaries. This research work contains an introduction, the meaning
of inerrancy, historical perspective, Modernism and biblical inerrancy, recent challenges in
inerrancy, Contemporary challenges to inerrancy, response, recommendation, and conclusion.

Jesus is the incarnate Word of God, embodying divine reason and communication. This concept underscores the belief in the Trinity, where Jesus, as the Logos, is co-eternal and consubstantial with God the Father, playing a central role in creation and redemption. Theologians such as Augustine and Aquinas have further expounded on Logos as the divine reason that permeates and sustains the universe, bridging the gap between the Creator and creation .2 The Historical Foundation of Logos: Historically, the concept of Logos predates Christianity and can be traced back to ancient Greek philosophy. Heraclitus, a pre-Socratic philosopher, first used the term to denote the principle of order and knowledge in the universe. For Heraclitus, Logos represented the underlying order that governed the cosmos, a rational principle that humans could understand through reason. Later, Stoic philosophers adopted and expanded upon this idea, viewing Logos as a divine animating principle pervading the universe and sustaining its rational structure. 3 The integration of Logos into Hellenistic Judaism marked a significant development. Philo of Alexandria, a Hellenistic Jewish philosopher, synthesized Greek philosophy and Jewish theology, describing Logos as an intermediary between God and the world. Philo's Logos was a divine agent involved in creation and revelation, serving as a bridge between the transcendent God and the material world. 4

The increasing interaction between Muslims and Christians in the West, Europe, Southeast Asia, and Africa is inspiring Christian theologians to look at Islam in a postcolonial, pluralist setting. 1 This thesis is motivated by African Islamic preachers who often misinterpret the phrase "Son of Man," which is the favorite self-designation of Jesus in the Gospels. "The Son of Man" ‫ָ֖ם(‬ ‫דָ‬ ‫נ-אָ‬ ‫;בֶּ‬ ὁ ὑιὸς τοῦ ἀνθρώπου) is a term used extensively in the New Testament, appearing 32 times in Matthew, 14 times in Mark, 26 times in Luke, 12 times in John, once in Acts 7, once in Hebrews

The notion of a crucified deity has long sparked intense theological debate, with critics arguing it contradicts the idea of an all-powerful God. This essay builds on the previous work titled “The Deity of Jesus: Hermeneutical view of “The Son of Man” in Daniel 7:13-14 and Jesus’ application of the phrase.” providing further evidence for Jesus’ divinity. It addresses criticisms by exploring the theological, historical, and philosophical foundations of the Logos, explaining the crucifixion's significance in Christian doctrine, and demonstrating the profound coherence of these concepts. The last essay concluded by proving Jesus’ divinity through his deeds, his claims, and people’s testimony. This essay aims to clarify misconceptions leading to several critics against the crucified God and the divinity of Logos. For clarity, this essay segments the criticism into three parts: historical and cultural context, philosophical, and theological.
