Revelational Christology

TheSire

I was arguing with some Unitarians recently and they were using a few proof texts. Hebrews 1:3 states: And He is the radiance of His glory and the exact representation of His nature, and upholds all things by the word of His power. When He had made purification of sins, He sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high, This is common anti-trinitarian prooftext. The idea is that Jesus is a “copy” of God as unitarian Greg Stafford argued with Dr. James White. Here Steve Hays speaks on it: As to Heb 1:3, we need to keep … Continue reading Revelational Christology

The Fall of the Watchtower

TheSire

Here is a conversation I had with a Jehovah’s witness. I am gonna add to it a bit to help benefit others. I’m gonna try to model how a conversation with one should occur. A preliminary question is in order. How do we distinguish God from creatures? I think we in order need to discern certain positions, attributes, and prerogatives that God has that no other being has.
