Beside Me, There Is No Other: The Case for Christ’s Divinity

TheSire

There’s a lot I could say about this. The speaker in Isaiah 44 is God the Father, because in Isaiah 42:1 He refers to the Messiah as “my servant,” and the speaker remains consistent throughout the next several chapters. However, … Continue reading Beside Me, There Is No Other: The Case for Christ’s Divinity

The Eternal Creator: Christ’s Divine Role in Creation

TheSire

ContraModalism’s view essentially posits that the Father eternally caused the Son to exist. The Son is seen as a numerically distinct being from the Father, inherently inferior to Him, which establishes an asymmetrical relationship between them. This leads to the … Continue reading The Eternal Creator: Christ’s Divine Role in Creation

The Folly of Speculation: Jehovah’s Witnesses’ Abandoned Doctrine on God’s Dwelling Place

TheSire

Jehovah’s Witnesses, a group widely regarded as heretical by orthodox Christian standards, have a history marked by doctrinal errors and speculative theology. Among their many theological missteps was the early claim that God’s throne might be located within the physical … Continue reading The Folly of Speculation: Jehovah’s Witnesses’ Abandoned Doctrine on God’s Dwelling Place

The Father is Greater than I

TheSire

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

Celsus on the Deity of Christ (2nd Century)

TheSire

Many who deny the deity of the Lord Jesus Christ (Arianism in all its forms for example) have attempted to make the historical case that early Christians prior to the Council of Nicea didn’t believe in such things as the idea that Christ, in addition to His human nature, possesses fully the Divine nature in the same way that God the Father and God the Spirit do. While the orthodox Christian may respond with an appeal to a plethora of early documents such as Ignatius’ (A.D. 30-107) statements that demonstrate a high Christology in the Ante-Nicene period, and rightly so, … Continue reading Celsus on the Deity of Christ (2nd Century)

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
