## Guides

- [Is Jesus God?](https://apologialibrary.com/guides/is-jesus-god): Yes. The New Testament presents Jesus as Yahweh incarnate: the eternal Son who shares the unique identity, glory, and worship of the one God, while remaining personally distinct from the Father and the Spirit.
- [If Jesus is God, how can God die?](https://apologialibrary.com/guides/how-can-god-die): God as God cannot die. In the Incarnation, the eternal Son assumed a true human nature, and it is according to that human nature that Jesus died. The divine nature did not cease or perish.
- [If Jesus is God, was he praying to himself?](https://apologialibrary.com/guides/was-jesus-praying-to-himself): No. Jesus prayed to the Father. The Son and the Father are distinct persons. Prayer in the Gospels is evidence of personal distinction within the Godhead, not proof that Jesus is a mere creature.
- [Is the Bible corrupted?](https://apologialibrary.com/guides/is-the-bible-corrupted): No. The charge that the Bible was rewritten beyond recovery is not supported by the manuscript evidence, and it creates severe problems for the Quran’s own appeals to the previous Scriptures.
- [Is Muhammad prophesied in the Bible?](https://apologialibrary.com/guides/is-muhammad-prophesied-in-the-bible): No. The passages commonly cited for Muhammad, including Deuteronomy 18 and the Johannine “Comforter” texts, refer in context to a prophet from Israel and to the Holy Spirit, not to a seventh-century Arabian messenger.
- [Does the Bible teach the Trinity?](https://apologialibrary.com/guides/does-the-bible-teach-the-trinity): Yes. Scripture teaches that there is one God, and that Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are each fully divine and personally distinct. The word “Trinity” is later theological shorthand for that biblical pattern.
- [If Jesus is God, how could Satan tempt him?](https://apologialibrary.com/guides/can-satan-tempt-jesus): Satan’s temptation targeted Jesus in his true humanity. Being tempted does not require moral failure, and it does not strip the Son of deity. Hebrews says he was tempted in every way yet without sin.
- [How can Jesus be God if the Father is the only true God?](https://apologialibrary.com/guides/is-the-father-the-only-true-god): In John 17:3 Jesus affirms the Father as the only true God over against idols, not as a denial of his own deity. The same Gospel repeatedly identifies Jesus with the divine name, glory, and works of Yahweh.

## Daily defense

- [According to Jesus, only God is good, yet Jesus calls himself good. How can Christians claim Jesus is divine when others are also called good?](https://apologialibrary.com/defense/167f3013-6622-40fd-9e13-7009c4df97d2): Christians argue that Jesus was not denying his goodness but rather prompting a deeper understanding of his identity. The use of different Greek words for 'good' does not negate Jesus' claim to divinity, as he identifies himself as the good Shepherd, a title attributed to God in the Old Testament.
