Why the Father Is Jesus’ God: A Scriptural Defense of Trinitarian Theology Pt. 2

Why the Father Is Jesus’ God: A Scriptural Defense of Trinitarian Theology Pt. 2

I continue from where I previously left off. In this post, I will demonstrate that the writings these anti-Trinitarians appeal to, which are very inspiring, explicitly affirm that Jesus is God in an absolute sense—being one with the Father and Spirit in essence, glory, and majesty. I begin with the witness of John himself. JOHN … Continue reading Why the Father Is Jesus’ God: A Scriptural Defense of Trinitarian Theology Pt. 2

Why the Father Is Jesus’ God: A Scriptural Defense of Trinitarian Theology Pt. 1

REFUTING ANOTHER UNITARIAN CANARD Unitarians and other non-Trinitarians often cite passages where Christ and his followers refer to the Father as Jesus’ God. Case in point: “Jesus said to her, ‘Stop clinging to Me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father; but go to My brothers and say to them, “I ascend to … Continue reading Why the Father Is Jesus’ God: A Scriptural Defense of Trinitarian Theology Pt. 1

I resume my refutation of Greg Stafford and his fellow Arian heretics. As I had noted previously, the glorification of the Father and the Son is reciprocal in that it isn’t merely the Son who glorifies God. Instead, the Father himself is committed to glorifying the Son in like manner: “‘But I am not seeking … Continue reading To the Glory of God the Son: Debunking a Common Arian Canard – Part 2

To the Glory of God the Son: Debunking a Common Arian Canard – Part 1

There are certain Arian apologists, specifically Gregory Stafford, the founder of a cult group called Christian Witnesses of Jah that recently sprang into existence, who employ the following passage, “and every tongue should openly acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God the Father.” Philippians 2:11 To argue for their belief that Christ … Continue reading To the Glory of God the Son: Debunking a Common Arian Canard – Part 1
