Great Work , this is one thing I cant get past or reconcile for myself , if the unseen father wanted to experience taking a poop, how would he do this, well he would have to come in flesh, if he wanted to bleed for himself or humanity, he would have to come in flesh, did the Jews that were anticipating messiah , did they believe the coming messiah would be God in flesh? or the son ? sry I'm thinking and typing , ty for what you do Brother!

who is the Father referring to in Hebrews 1:8 when He says "But of the Son he says, 'Your throne, O God, is forever and ever'"? Christ's sacrifice would not be meaningful if He wasn't truly God. Jesus does things that only God can do such as forgive sins by His own authority. He tells the Jews "Unless you believe that I am, you will die in your sins", using the divine name for Himself. Paul clearly refers to Him as "our great God and Savior". Thomas confesses Him saying "My Lord and my God!" and Jesus blessed him for believing. John chapter 1 is also painfully clear that the Word is a person, referring to the Word as a "He". and Colossians 1:16 says Jesus created ALL things, whether visible or invisible, in heaven or on earth and then Paul goes on to say that in Christ dwells the fullness of deity.

[@ricardoguzman5014]

This guy is an absolute heretic. 2 days ago I commented on his video titled "the immortality of the soul cheapens Christ's work". He replied, then I replied back, which was basically a rebuke saying that he should repent of his heresy. He replied one more time, in the end telling me "good luck". He said in the video that when Christ died, He was not conscious at that point, and that He was in a "nonexistence state". So somehow Jesus's soul and spirit went out of existence for 3 days. The context of his statement starts at about 8:22 in the video and goes until about 8:43. That is so absurdly outrageous it's difficult to conceive how and why a person would think that. Where in the world does that teaching come from? I've been a Christian almost 33 years now, and I never even heard that concept until around a week ago when I watched a soul sleep debate where Nephilimfree makes a similar comment in passing, that a person doesn't exist after death, so the soul sleepers seem to think "unconscious" means "nonexistent". People should completely avoid him, new converts especially beware, they don't need their minds corrupted. A man that is an heretick after the first and second admonition reject; Knowing that he that is such is subverted, and sinneth, being condemned of himself. (Titus 3:10-11)

[@mikaelsolheim]

It is very interresting that many of your opening arguments are directly transferable to the pre-excistense debate. One does not take anything away from Christ saying that he didnt pre-excist, its more the opposite. If He pre-excisted, what faith would he need then, compared to the faith he would need if he didnt pre-excist, going through the trials, sufferings and afflictions, would be a lot harder if he didnt physicallly pre-excist.

[@scotthicko8643]

I disagree. I'm not interested in the 'did Christ pre-exist debate' but pre-existence would mean that death (non-existence) would be even more dreadful for One that knew nothing but glorious life and through Whom all life came to be. Christ's pre-existence still would have required Him to have faith because He was still going into death and God had to resurrect Him. I think it adds tremendously to the faith of Christ that He was going to be tortured and killed by the very creation that was created through Him. Christ emptied Himself to the point where any faith that He had was not aided by His pre-existence.

[@mikaelsolheim]

Scott, many christians say the same as you when challenged about hell, the trinity and free will. They wont "go there" and debate it because thats what they have believed their whole lifes... Grace and peace anyways, Scott!

@@mikaelsolheim Actually, it's not a position I necessarily believed my whole life. In fact, I just finished up a detailed study on the topic myself as I believe many valid points were made. I have come to the conclusion through study of God's word, not because I believed it my whole life, that Christ Jesus did pre-exist. I don't wish to 'engage in debate' because, either way, in my mind it does not take away from what Christ is to me...maybe it does for you and that's okay.

This is a hard teaching … Mr Hicko does tend to unravel things … positively unsettling

[@thatwhichhasbeen-isthatwhi6575]

John 17:1-3, In context, there are two persons in view, the son/Jesus Christ and the father/God. According to Trinitarian theology both are equal persons of the triune Godhead, yet one of these persons [ie] the son, confesses that his father and God, in person, is the “only true God”. Not only does this contradict trinitarian theology, but it also leaves the one who adheres to it to explain what kind of God the person of the son is in the light of his confession. The truth is simple, Jesus didn't ascend to, nor does he have a God that consists of three persons. Having the same God Jesus has is good enough for me. Good talk peace.

[@henrybarrick7205]

You covered most of the issues that helped me to come out of trinitarianism. My head was completely spinning when I studied it all out, but the one thing that kept me grounded was the fact that Jesus has a God. I kept coming back to that. The only way that God could have a God is if there are two Gods. But we dont even need to think that far. We all know that almighty God could not have another God over him. What else have we been taught that is crap?

Thanks, Rob and great questions. Questions that certainly draw out the truth of the matter. God bless you, brother.

[@GregUniRec]

As a former Baptist Trinitarian, I had a really hard time accepting the fact that Jesus (YHWH of the O.T. in my opinion) was a created being. I never believed the teaching that, in His earthly ministry, Jesus "fully God and fully man". That never made sense to me. In Php.2:7 Paul says that Christ "empties Himself, taking the form of a slave". My question has always been, empties Himself of what? My thinking is that He emptied Himself of whatever made Him deity to become human. That would not only include His spiritual attributes but possibly any memory He had of being deity. Luk.2:52 says "And Jesus progressed in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men." This tells me that, as a human, Jesus had to start with no knowledge of any previous existence. The argument that was made during the "Did Jesus pre-exist" debate was that if He did pre-exist, He wouldn't have needed faith to go to the cross because He already knew what would happen. If He didn't remember His previous existence (since he emptied Himself of the knowledge) He still needed faith that God would raise Him. Sorry this got so long but the bottom line is, it is my belief that the Father created a visible image of Himself, i.e. YHWH. That image became a man (with some Holy Spirit attributes, no sin nature etc, since the H.S. was involved) and He had no knowledge of previously existing as YHWH. I could be way off but it helps me wrap my head around this issue.

[@scotthicko8643]

Great points, Greg. I love your assessment and you could be correct. Jesus did empty Himself and progressed in wisdom and stature. I certainly don't believe that Jesus knew everything God knew as evidenced by not even He 'knew the day or the hour.' However, as I responded to another fellow, even if Jesus knew of His previous glory and life with God, this in no way takes away from the fact that He was still entering death and needed faith that God would resurrect Him. In my view, knowing of His previous glory and knowing that all life was created through Him would require even more faith to enter death at the very hands of the creatures that were created through Him. Having the previous 'fullness of life' gives death even a more dreadful thought even more so than one, like us, that never experienced that 'fullness of life.' Thus, more faith required. Anyway, that's my view...Grace and peace to you my brother!

God is not a Trinity. And Jesus was not a created human being. If Jesus was a created human being, then Jesus was capable of sinning. And if Jesus was capable of sinning, then God's eternal plan of redemption was capable of failing. But God's eternal plan of redemption was _not_ capable of failing...which means that Jesus was _not_ capable of sinning...which means that Jesus was _not_ a created human being. Jesus Christ the Son of God was not a genuinely human *_creation_* of the Father. Jesus Christ the Son of God is the genuinely human *_manifestation_* of the Father. _"And without controversy GREAT is the MYSTERY of godliness: _*_GOD was manifest_*_ in the flesh..."_ (1 Tim.3:16)

[@scotthicko8643]

The Holy Spirit is simply God's movement in the world and in His creatures. God is not a human, He never lays aside His knowledge, power, and position. In Him we live and move and have our being...God gives to all life breath and all (Acts 17). If God gave up His power, knowledge, and position, then the universe would cease to exist and nothing God purposed could be guaranteed.

[@davidlyons6235]

What gives extra weight to the reference of the God and Father of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ in Ephesians and elsewhere is the overlooked fact that it was written long after Jesus was raised and glorified and returned to the Father. If Jesus was merely a mode of the Deity then the argument would be that when the narrative of scripture speaks of Jesus on earth He's viewed in the Son mode in contradistinction to the Father mode. However, for the sake of consistency, when Jesus ascended He should no longer be referred to in that mode. Yet scripture does and that's problematic to all modalistic theologies.

I used to believe he was, but The writings say Christ chose 12. And since I’ve looked into research on this I have seen a difference between the gospel Christ teaches and Paul’s gospel. I don’t agree with your conclusions of the reason I don’t believe he’s an apostle. The other apostle don’t even say he is one. People want to believe Paul’s gospel is the one Christ taught. And I’ve read plenty of both to notice somethings were off. It’s important to research. Lot of people believe most things the churches teach. Didn’t think I would be here with a change in belief.
