This is the continuing dialogue with Theophilus (Eastern Orthodox). Here are his questions in response to my article: http://spirited-tech.com/Council/index.php/2020/07/04/besides-me-there-is-no-god/ Theophilus: We can discuss this in as much detail as you like, but I’m curious how you resolve the exegetical issue … Continue reading The Son as Servant: Understanding the Trinitarian Distinction in Isaiah

However, … Continue reading Beside Me, There Is No Other: The Case for Christ’s Divinity
ContraModalism’s view essentially posits that the Father eternally caused the Son to exist.

Representative Quote from Ulfilas:“Paul makes a distinction between God and Lord in 1 Corinthians 8:6.

I’ve been dialoguing with an LDS. Here is his latest objection: Not true. Most of these verses refer to Jesus in his glorified and resurrected state: John 14:28; 20:17; Rom. 15:6; 2 Cor. 11:31; Eph. 1:2–3, 17; 5:20; Col. 1:2–3; … Continue reading The Father is Greater than I
There has been a debate over the topic of whether the Son is eternally generated of the Father. I was referred to this article about Proverbs 8 and whether it was about Eternal Generation. I wish to give my observation … Continue reading Proverbs 8, Aseity, and Generation
