Because Philippians 2:5-8 your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus: 6 Who, being in very nature[a] God, did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage; 7 rather, he made himself nothing by taking the very nature[b] of a servant, being made in human likeness. 8 And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to death- even death on a cross!

15:20 .. .And that right there is where this interpretation fails. Sorry Bill, Jesus can not be the Logos in v1 if you believe the scriptures say the Logos was God. You can't simply glance over this and your explanation is not sufficient for a trinitarian. "John is saying Jesus was God because the Father is dwelling in him." ...... its just not a strong statement. The Logos WAS God. Jesus was never God and will never be God.

The Holly Scriptures does make it clear that Jesus is not God, he is the son of God. The Bible tells us about Jesus that when he ascended to heaven, he's seated on the right hand side of God's throne

I think it's crazy when I get an email from someone at an online shop and they write their name followed by (they/them). Then Bill reminds us it's been going on for centuries, with the Trinity! I guess now for the younger generation it'll be nothing unusual for someone to tell them God is a 'they'. Hoping for Christ's return to clear away all these deceptions.

Sup 👋, quick question. Are you more of a Unitarian now? Strictly understanding the Bible for what is written!? Do u have a video on why you don't believe in oneness? Thx

Exactly...the word put on flesh!

Who else refers Himself as “I AM” ? Jesus. L

How would you explain when Jesus says him and the father are one and the Pharisees tried to stone him saying “you a man make yourself God”? Or when John says the word was God and the word became flesh? Or when Jesus explained that Abraham rejoiced to see his day and the Pharisees said how could you know Abraham (because Jesus was young) and Jesus stated that before Abraham was “I am” and they tried to stone him again?

How would you explain when Jesus says him and the father are one and the Pharisees tried to stone him saying “you a man make yourself God”? Or when John says the word was God and the word became flesh?

What???????????? This explanation of Craig is the most ridiculous I've ever heard yet. I used to believe God was a trinity, but there's just way to many scriptures and too much common sense ,to realize the trinity is a Pagan Greco/Roman Philosophical concept and not the truth. Jesus/Yeshua is The Son of God, The Messiah, but he is not GOD Almighty. John 17:3 , John 20:17 Deuteronomy 6:4 Even the demons declared Jesus as "The Son Of The Most High " Just as Peter did. Jesus Himself said That God was his father. Can a son be a father to himself? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Bingo

Pronoun soap

Bingo!

Trinitarians = idol worshipers

The Spirit inclines us to cry "Abba Father," not Abba trinity. In the Lord's prayer Jesus taught us to pray to "Our Father," not our trinity. Paul tells us: "I bow my knees unto the Father, " All Bible prayers are to the Father and a few to Jesus. But never to the trinity.

Yessssssssssss love it!!!!!

Amen to sanity! 🙌

So true...

Thank you!

Beware of false prophets...

Hello, Thanks for your question. It's important to read a verse within its context, AKA verse 28: "My Lord and my God", not to mention the entire Gospel of John. Also I'm a bit confused as to how verse 28 dismisses his deity. John calling him The" Annointed One is pointing out his mission not his nature. Peace

Hello, Thanks for your question. 1) The answer to your question can be answered with a question: Why doesn't he say, "our God" and "your God"? Simply because how Christ is the Son of God differs from how we are sons (or children) of God: begotten versus adopted (John 1:18 vs. John 1:12-13). 2) There is only one God. Paul echoes the "Shma" (Deut. 6:4) in his first letter to the Corinthians (8:6). Notice, however, how he cleverly distributes this oneness to both by applying God to the Father and Lord to the Son. While both are Lord and God (John 20:28), Paul distributes them to retain their distinction within their oneness. 3) The Son is begotten of the Father and not the other way around, for the Father is the fountain of being. Peace

THERE IS DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE HEBREW DABAR (WORD) OF GOD YEHOVAH AND THE GREEK LOGOS (WORD) OF ZEUS ? WHATEVER OR WHOEVER IS CONTRADICTING THE WORD OF THE LAW OF THE COVENANT OF GOD YEHOVAH IN THE TESTIMONY OF GOD YEHOVAH IN THE BOOK OF GOD YEHOVAH, THE BOOK OF THE COVENANT, THE BOOK OF THE LAW, THE BOOK OF THE LAW, THE PROPHETS AND WRITINGS OF GOD YEHOVAH IS ERRING, LYING AND DECEIVING. THE WAY OF GOD YEHOVAH IS DIFFERENT FROM A SYNCRETISM WITH GRECOROMAN IDOLATROUS THEOLOGY

So, once the end comes and Jesus hands over the kingdom to the father, will Jesus no longer be Lord? And what would he be in that case? 1 Cor. 15:24

New International Version Thomas said to him, “My Lord and my God!” New Living Translation “My Lord and my God!” Thomas exclaimed.

Jesus said in John that "I and my Father are one." Jesus told Satan in Matthew "thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God." I guess you missed the old testament references too. If he's not God then how is he still alive? How did he live a completely sinless life? You need to repent of this blasphemy.

Hebrews 1:8 But to The Son (Jesus) He (The Father) say's; Your throne , OH' God is for ever; A scepter of righteousness is a scepter of Your Kingdom.... John 8:58- Before Abraham was I AM! The Words of my God & Savior Jesus Christ! John 2:19- Destroy this Temple and in three days I WILL RAISE IT UP again! The Words of Jesus Christ!

Isaiah 9:6 6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. Colossians 2:9 9 For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. Many many more scriptures that prove that Jesus is God. Jesus is the flesh of God the spirit. Just as we also have a spirit we don’t say our spirit is another being.

Nah, Jesus is God. Let me know if you have any other problems.

John 20:28

Jesus said in John 10:30. I and Father are One

hahahaha NOT TRUE STOP THE BS

Jesus Christ is The Lord and God (John 10:30; John 1:1; John 1:14; 1Timothy 3:16; ect❤❤

Hey people, this guy will not change his mind. He will have a way to twist every single verse you can throw at him just as all heretics do. But so that you may know this guy is a false teacher let me give some simple proofs that Jesus is indeed God. Let’s look at the very beginning of Mark’s gospel. “The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God; As it is written in the prophets, ‘Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee. The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.’” Mark 1:1-3 Here Mark quotes Isaiah 40:3. Mark is talking about John the Baptist who prepares the way of who? Jesus. But who does Isaiah say the one crying out in the wilderness prepares the way of? The Lord. The use of the Lord there is actually replacing the original word, YHWH, the name of God. Jews did not say that name and so would say Lord instead of YHWH. In Isaiah it’s YHWH, the divine name. So Isaiah is talking about a man preparing the way of God, but Mark applies it to John the Baptist who prepares the way of Jesus. Thus Mark says Jesus is YHWH or God. Or let’s look at Matthew. Matthew applies Isaiah 7’s prophecy of Emmanuel to Jesus. “Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, ‘Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel,’ which being interpreted is, God with us.” Matthew 1:22-23 So what is Jesus according to Matthew? God with us. This is a big theme of the book and as in many books of the Bible this theme stated at the beginning shows up again at the very end. Look at the final two verse of Matthew. “‘Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world.’ Amen.” He says “Behold I am WITH YOU always.” He is God with us. Emmanuel. Okay we looked at Mark and Matthew chapter 1, what about something from Luke chapter 1? Luke like Matthew tells a birth narrative about Christ and he tells a story about the Virgin Mary visiting her cousin Elizabeth for 3 months. Something remarkable about this story are the parallels to 2 Samuel 6 in which the ark of the covenant, the most holy object on which God sat, visits Jerusalem for 3 months. You can look up more of the word parallels yourself but this one is interesting for our purposes. 2 Samuel 6:9 says “And David was afraid of the Lord that day, and said, ‘How shall the ark of the Lord come to me?’” Elizabeth says something very similar. “And whence is this to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?” Luke 1:43 By this, Luke portrays Mary as the ark of the covenant, the very place where who was enthroned? The Lord God. The ark of the Lord came to David and the Mother of the Lord came to Elizabeth. The same Lord of all. And while we’re at it we can talk about the famous beginning of the Gospel of John. “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” John 1:1 then later “And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.” So the Word (that was just said to be God) becomes flesh, literally incarnates and does what? Dwelt among us. This term John uses here is the same as tabernacle. He’s calling back to the tabernacle, the tent where God came down and dwelled with his people. Jesus is a new Tabernacle of God. God with us. Now like I said about Matthew, John follows this up at the end of his gospel too. What does Thomas say upon seeing the risen Lord? “And Thomas answered and said unto him, ‘My Lord and my God.’” John 20:28 Jesus of course accepts this worship and says “Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed.” John 20:29 If that isn’t enough for you, there’s plenty of more examples. Perhaps you could look at how Jesus says in John 2:19 and Mark 14:58 that the Jews can destroy this temple and in 3 days he’ll raise it up. Jesus is saying that his body is the true temple of God and that in 3 days he’ll raise it up. John even says “But he was speaking about the temple of his body. When therefore he was raised from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this, and they believed the Scripture and the word that Jesus had spoken.” John 2:21-22 Or perhaps you could look at how in Acts 3:15 Peter says that the Jews have killed the author of life. Or you could look at Philippians 2 where Paul says “Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.” How is he equal with God (the Father)? Also Paul is quoting Isaiah here. God says “I have sworn by myself, the word is gone out of my mouth in righteousness, and shall not return, That unto me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear.” Isaiah 45:23 Paul applies a prophecy about God to Jesus. Or perhaps look at Jesus calling himself the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end in the book of Revelation. Or look at the early church fathers calling Jesus God with absolutely no problem. St. Ignatius of Antioch does it in his letter to the Romans. St. Irenaeus of Lyons does it in his book Against Heresies. You may ask though, isn’t this still kind of hidden? Maybe if you don’t meditate on the scriptures day and night as the scriptures tell us. But actually no, it’s clear as day when you understand what it means that Jesus was the Son of God. When Jesus claimed to be the Son of God, there were people who already had that title applied to them. The angels are called sons of God. David was called the Son of God. Israel was called the Son of God. But when Jesus says he is the Son of God he means something different, something more. He means that he is by his very nature God. That he was begotten of the Father. When you have a child, he shares in your nature. He is your flesh and blood. Jesus is saying that he truly has the divine nature of God. This is why it’s a big deal when Peter confesses the true faith in Matthew 16. Jesus asks what men say about him. The disciples say that men say he’s John the Baptist or Elijah or another of the prophets, but then he asks “But who do you say that I am?” Peter speaks up and confesses “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” Now he had been called the Son of God before, I believe Nathanael did it early in John. What Peter confesses here is that Christ is the Son of the living God, emphasis on living. God is so alive that he begot a Son who shares in his divine nature. Yet there is only one God. How can Jesus have the nature of his father and not be another God? That’s the mystery of the Holy Trinity that the Church has professed from the beginning and will do forever. And Jesus blessed Peter for this confession saying “And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven. And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.” The gates of hell will never prevail against the church founded on Peter and his confession of faith in the divine Son of the living God. I’ll end it with Mark. “Again the high priest asked him, and said unto him, ‘Art thou the Christ, the Son of the Blessed?’ And Jesus said, ‘I am: and ye shall see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven.’ Then the high priest rent his clothes, and saith, ‘What need we any further witnesses? Ye have heard the blasphemy: what think ye? And they all condemned him to be guilty of death.’” Amen. Come Lord Jesus.

Dont listen to this heretic

Straight from Jesus’s mouth “before Abraham was, I am.”

Jesus is God the Son of the Trinity

Then we forget the Scripture that Jesus says, "I and the Father are one"

Jesus Christ is God.... Whatever you denied it but The Bible said that Jesus Christ is God Lord, Messiah..

Amen Bill , thanks for bringing this to the table Blessings ❤😊

"I and the Father are one", "...those who have received a faith of the same kind as ours, by the righteousness of our God and Savior, Jesus Christ,", "...looking for the blessed hope and the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Christ Jesus,..". There are many more passages that explicitly refer to Christ as God. A quick google search will do if you don't believe me. That second quote is from 2 Peter 1. In the same passage, about ten lines later he refers to Christ as "savior". God, savior, and lord being used to refer to Christ mean that he is God the Son, proceeding from God the Father, coeternal in essence within the Trinity. Do not be deceived. If Christ is not God then what is his ontology in the new testament? Now, you could play the "this translation says this differently therefore he's lord and not God!" game, but the greek word Kyrios (κύριος), greek because this was the language the bible was first written in, can be used to mean God, Lord, or Master linguistically. Christ God our Savior is indeed God. End of story. That's our whole shebang as Christians. God Bless ☦️

Jesus is the lord messiah, not Lord God. Or as the Psalmist put it he is ‘adoni’ (the lord of me) not Adonai (Lord God) or The LORD (יהוה).

Long live Christ the King true Man and true God❤

Did any of Jesus contemporaries call Jesus Yahweh?

I agree with you Faithful. Jesus's will say to some: "Go away from me I never knew you." He doesn't say: "Go away from me you had the wrong theology." Jesus criteria is personal not theological.

John 1:1-3 “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2) The same was in the beginning with God. 3) All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.” 1 John 5:7 "For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one."

Yes, Ephesians 1:17 clearly shows this Ephesians 1:17 KJV That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him: It wouldn't make sense for Paul to say the God of our God Jesus Christ. He uses Lord for Jesus to distinguish Jesus from God. Similar to how king David was called lord, but king David wasn't the LORD God. The LORD God was the God of king David. 1 Kings 1:36-37 KJV And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada answered the king, and said, Amen: the LORD God of my lord the king say so too. [37] As the LORD hath been with my lord the king, even so be he with Solomon, and make his throne greater than the throne of my lord king David.

Amen 🙌

Amen brother!

It's obvious that Jesus was gay. Hanging around with 12 men in dresses for three years. But that is not the problem. The christian thing was more of a problem. Why? God does not exist, or if he does, he is a gay hating, war mongering sexist piece of sh1t.
