FIVE GEARS OF THE PROPHETIC HISTORY OF ISRAEL
Throughout the Scriptures, the relationship between God and His people is not presented as a straight line, but rather as a profound cycle of design, fracture, remnant, and eschatological restoration. When we attempt to read prophetic, historical, and poetic texts in isolation, we risk losing sight of the grand map of divine history. To...
WHY MATTHEW 2:23 IS NOT AN ERROR, BUT A KEY TO 1ST-CENTURY HERMENEUTICAL GEMATRIA
In the vast and often sharp field of online interreligious debate, it is common to encounter detractors who, armed with prepackaged lists of alleged "contradictions" in the New Testament, challenge the integrity of the sacred texts. Some time ago, I faced one such case: a self-proclaimed rabbi who questioned the historical validity of the Gospel...
THE DOMESTICATION OF THE MIND ON THE STAGE OF LIFE
Contemporary religious language has stripped "faith" of its original muscle. Today, it is frequently confused with blind optimism, self-suggestion, or the neurotic projection of our own desires and shortcomings. However, when we dismantle the scaffolding of devotional translations and descend into the philological rigor of New Testament Greek...
DID LUKE LIE WITH A FALSE GENEALOGY OF JESUS?
The genealogies of Jesus are usually the favorite ground for skeptics to attack the veracity of the Apostolic Writings. When comparing Matthew and Luke, the lists of names clash head-on. Faced with this dilemma, the traditional history of Christianity hastily and erroneously assumed a very common theory: That one is Joseph's line and the other is...
MODERN PERFECTION AND THE LOSS OF INTERIOR KNOWLEDGE.
For a long time, a large part of the modern Christian message has been shifting toward a way of living that is profoundly different from the biblical vision of the human being. If we start from the premise that the Bible constitutes the pattern through which the Creator guides mankind, then within it we will find not only spiritual principles but...

We are, above all, an educational entity that builds its teaching upon a...
CONSTANTINE’S LETTER AFTER NICAEA: THE CALENDAR SCHISM AND THE BIRTH OF AN IMPERIAL CHURCH.
Following the conclusion of the First Council of Nicaea in 325 AD, Emperor Constantine I sent a letter to the churches of the Empire that would mark a definitive turning point in Christian history. This was not merely an administrative announcement; it was the notification of one of the synod’s most consequential decisions: the unification of the...
THE JEWISH ORTHODOXY KNOWN AS KARAISM.
Within the vast tapestry of Judaism, there is a current that, although a minority today, once represented the greatest intellectual and theological challenge to oral tradition. This is Karaism (from the Hebrew Qara’im, "readers" or "followers of the Scripture"), a branch that proposes a radical return to the written text: the TaNaK. 1. The...
THE MODERN JEWISH CALENDAR: REVELATION OR INNOVATION?
Within the communities seeking to return to the Hebrew roots of the faith, a crucial question frequently arises: Should we follow the calculated Jewish calendar (Hillel II) or the calendar based on the biblical observation of the first century? Often, the writings of Church Fathers such as Epiphanius of Salamis are used to suggest that departing...
TRUTH AS THE FOUNDATION OF A NATION.
The recent history of Cuba is often analyzed as a unique case of political crises, revolutions, and failed reconstructions. However, it can also be interpreted from another perspective. Precisely because its ruptures have been so visible, Cuba could become a clear example of a problem that many other societies face, even if they do not always...
