What does John 1.14 mean? Who or What is the Word and what does it mean for the Word to become flesh?

When Did the Son of God Come into Existence?  [10 pages]
by Ray Faircloth rated at 1.6 (6 votes so far)

The vast majority of the Scriptures provide no support at all for a doctrine of literal “pre- existence.” For instance, from the entire Hebrew Scriptures only Genesis 1:26; Proverbs 8:22, 30 and Micah 5:2 have been advanced in any attempt at such proof. Yet in the Christian Greek Scriptures there is no hint of pre-existence in Matthew, Mark, Luke, Acts, Romans, 2 Corinthians, Galatians, Ephesians, 1 and 2 Thessalonians, 1 and 2 Timothy, Titus, Philemon, James, 1 and 2 Peter, 1, 2 and 3 John or Jude.

Who is Jesus  [251:02]
by Anthony Buzzard rated at 2.7 (10 votes so far)

Many churchgoers have been schooled to flee from anyone claiming that "Jesus is not God." But very few have contemplated the implications of what it means that both the Father can be God and Jesus God, also. Two who are fully God makes two Gods. The Bible warns against the fatal mistake of saying that there is more than one who is God. Jesus claimed that "the Father is the only who is truly God' (John 17:3), and made this the main plank of his teaching about eternal life. Are you sure you have understood Jesus and his creed? It never hurts to review these basic truths. Nothing is lost by hearing other points of view. Anthony proposes with many scholars, past and present, that the notion that "Jesus is God" goes beyond the Bible. Rather Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God (Matt. 16:16-18). You will find these discussion valuable as a searcher for truth in a confused world.

by Sean Finnegan rated at 2.4 (9 votes so far)

A detailed exegesis of Isaiah 9.6 in light of its immediate context. Is Jesus prophesied to be the mighty God or is he being spoken of as the mighty God's supreme representative?

The Doctrine of God and Christ  [52:40]
by Steve Katsaras rated at 2.0 (7 votes so far)

Citing more than 60 verses, Steve Katsaras of Australia thoroughly explains the biblical doctrines of God and Christ before telling the story of how these truths were corrupted in the ecumenical counsels of the fourth and fifth centuries.

Yahweh is one, not two or three, and there is no God besides him. The Bible uses singular pronouns in reference to God thousands upon thousands of time, a fact that clearly teaches God is a singular individual. This one God is the eternal, omniscient, omnipotent, and omnipresent creator of heaven and earth.

Jesus is the human mediator who called God his Father. Jesus had a beginning in time and is the miraculously born son of God. Jesus recognized his Father as the only true God who was his superior. Jesus admitted to possessing limited knowledge; he was a mortal man who experienced temptation, hunger, thirst, weariness, suffering, death, and resurrection.

The doctrines of God and Christ mutated over time and continued to develop in new and unbiblical ways after the New Testament was written. Steve talks about the first four ecumenical counsels (Nicea in a.d. 325, Constantinople in a.d. 381, Ephesus in a.d. 431, and Chalcedon in a.d. 451) to demonstrate how these doctrines evolved over time.

An Explanation of Philippians 2:5-6  [77:01]
by Alex Hall rated at 2.2 (8 votes so far)

Was Jesus is the form of God? If so, what does that mean? Did Jesus empty himself of his divinity to become man? Join Alex Hall as he explains the most famous Christological hymn in the New Testament.

Jesus had a Beginning  [25:25]
by Dustin Smith & Sean Finnegan rated at 2.3 (9 votes so far)

John 3.16 is probably the most famous verse in the Bible. From John 3.16 and many other places, we learn that Jesus is the 'only begotten son of God.' This important but overlooked word gives wonderful insight to the identity and origin of Jesus. Can someone who has a beginning have no beginning at the same time?
