The witness of Paul to Christ’s deity
This is another in a series of excerpts from “What Every Christian Should Know About the Trinity,” available through Amazon and other booksellers.
In the previous column, we explored the eyewitness testimony of John with respect to Jesus’ deity. Here, we briefly survey what Paul has to say about the matter.
Although Paul likely had no personal encounters with Jesus prior to the crucifixion, he meets Jesus in dramatic fashion on the road to Damascus after Christ’s resurrection (Acts 9:1-9). Paul’s conversion, testimony, and epistles bear evidence of his conviction that Jesus was, and is, divine. Here are just three examples:

As a place that breeds one Olympian champion after another, we learn the cost and benefits of reaching for the impossible, pushing limits, going beyond what may be considered human endurance. Yet, not only do we survive, we actually flourish under the pressure, like a diamond in the rough.
As many challenges as mountain life often presents, we can still be overwhelmed by the unexpected. Even though our Olympic participation may be limited to viewing, we are a population that tends to push life beyond our comfort zone. This year was a test on precisely how resilient we truly are.

It says everything you need to know about the ferocity of the rivalry between Manchester United and Liverpool that even though the two sides have very rarely been on an even keel, it has never lost its edge.
There is usually a clear favourite - whether it s Shankly s Liverpool or Ferguson s United - but whenever the two sides meet, there is a level of bitterness in the air that usually supersedes the surrounding circumstances.
When Liverpool face Manchester United, the derby takes precedence to everything else, and here are six historic clashes which best summarise English football s crown jewel.
Standards commissioner’s report on tourism consultancy
Reference is made to the editorial ‘Muscat must know that the brave would face the music’ (January 11) that erroneously states: “Still, the details of the findings remain under wraps because the commissioner decided not to publish his report although a copy was handed over to the standards committee.”
Please note that the decision whether or not to publish the commissioner’s report in cases where the standards commissioner has found that there has been a breach of the code of ethics rests with the standards committee, not with the commissioner, and in any case, contrary to what is stated in the editorial, the report was actually published by the committee on October 14 and all the local media, including Times of Malta, had reported it in its entirety.
