On the Errors of the Trinity  [12 mp3s]
by Don Snedeker rated at 3.3 (15 votes so far)

A thorough consideration and refutation of the doctrine of the Trinity. Originally released as 12 tapes but now available on mp3, this series examines the doctrine of the Trinity proposition by proposition. Not only is this series approached from a biblical perspective, Don Snedeker also taps into the rich biblical unitarian resources of several authors from the 19th century. Furthermore, Don works through a number of texts typically used to support the Trinity and he demonstrates their true meaning based on their context.

Does Jesus Have to Be God to Pay for Sin?  [54:30]
by Alex Hall rated at 2.5 (9 votes so far)

Did Jesus need to be God in order to pay for the sins of the world? Could he be a 'mere' man and still atone for all? Alex Hall wrestles with these questions from a biblical perspective in an effort to free us from traditional dogma and bring us closer to the heart of New Testament Christianity and the atonement theology of the first century Christians.

How Can Jesus' Death Save Us If He Is not God?  [1 page]
by Jay Dicken rated at 1.0 (5 votes so far)

The value of Christ's sacrifice lay in his human nature. So to insist that Jesus had to be God for his sacrifice to have value flies in the face of Paul's writings. If it is within the purposes of God to provide salvation by His Son, how can we whose thoughts are beneath His thoughts question and challenge His way of doing things?
