In this age of religious pluralism (every religion is equally true), Moral relativism (that is true for you, but not for me), and doctrinal disappearances (let’s just love and not deal with that), TawfiQ Cotman-El a.k.a. tha Christologist emerges from the lab to address the nation.
Following in the footsteps of the great apologists (defenders of the Faith) before him, tha Christologist burns with a great passion to present the Gospel of Jesus Christ to sinners, give the skeptical answers to their honest questions, educate the new believer to what they believe and why, all the while exalting Jesus Christ before the people of this world
Born in Providence, R.I. and raised as a Sunni Muslim, TawfiQ has always been immersed in religion. Upon asking him what it was like to be a Muslim he said, “It was all I knew, and therefore it was the truth”. After being separated from Islam by location and thrown into a church, he was given rituals, emotions, and rhetoric. What he was not given was Theology (the study of God), the Gospel (the saving message of Jesus Christ -Rom1:16), or discipleship (the vital key for the growth of the believer). Because of this, he was again confused and was deceived into joining the cult of the ICUPK (Israeli Church of Universal Practical Knowledge). When reflecting on his time with them he commented, “One thing I can say about them is that they study”. He was rescued by Divine providence, and was given the honor of meeting the Cross Movements Ambassador a.k.a. “Duce”. For the first time he heard the Gospel accurately and was challenged to study the faith he had just accepted. This began his mission, his studies, and his ministry.
Since that beautiful day, that eternally changed his life, tha Christologist has been studying the Scriptures, theology, history, and his passion apologetics. These studies are the inspiration for his upcoming album, tha Christologist presents… Apologetics (Defend tha Faith). Recognizing that no man can come to faith in Christ by argument, he does not rely on these studies to save anyone! What he does desire to do is, using a quote from his favorite Christian apologist Ravi Zacharias, “move all the shrubs and bushes out of the way, so that people can see Christ clearly”.
He is very happily married to the love of his life Michelle “pie-pie” Cotman-El, and they have one son Adonijah Elijah Cotman-El. They reside in San Antonio Texas, and are covenant members of Now Word Christian Church, under Pastor Keith Graham.
When I asked him what is one thing you would like to leave the reader with he said this
“The 5 Solas! Christ alone, Faith alone, Grace alone, Scripture alone, Glory to God alone!” he also had this to say, “please, please, please, take your eternity seriously, seek the Lord Jesus Christ and all His holiness, the more you see God the more you’ll see you, and your desperate need for Him!”

How beautiful it is to know that we as sinners must hear the Law that brings conviction! Before entering through the Watergate of Life through Jesus Christ.
Nehemiah 8:1-10 [kjv] And all the people gathered themselves together as one man into the street that was before the water gate; and they spake unto Ezra the scribe to bring the book of the law of Moses, which the LORD had commanded to Israel.
2And Ezra the priest brought the law before the congregation both of men and women, and all that could hear with understanding, upon the first day of the seventh month.
3And he read therein before the street that was before the water gate from the morning until midday, before the men and the women, and those that could understand; and the ears of all the people were attentive unto the book of the law.
4And Ezra the scribe stood upon a pulpit of wood, which they had made for the purpose; and beside him stood Mattithiah, and Shema, and Anaiah, and Urijah, and Hilkiah, and Maaseiah, on his right hand; and on his left hand, Pedaiah, and Mishael, and Malchiah, and Hashum, and Hashbadana, Zechariah, and Meshullam.
5And Ezra opened the book in the sight of all the people; (for he was above all the people;) and when he opened it, all the people stood up:
6And Ezra blessed the LORD, the great God. And all the people answered, Amen, Amen, with lifting up their hands: and they bowed their heads, and worshipped the LORD with their faces to the ground.
7Also Jeshua, and Bani, and Sherebiah, Jamin, Akkub, Shabbethai, Hodijah, Maaseiah, Kelita, Azariah, Jozabad, Hanan, Pelaiah, and the Levites, caused the people to understand the law: and the people stood in their place.
8So they read in the book in the law of God distinctly, and gave the sense, and caused them to
