The Holy Spirit in the Old Testament [53:34]
by Jesse Acuff rated at 1.3 (7 votes so far)
Repeatedly, the very church that insists that the Holy Spirit is a distinct "person," and the third member of the Holy Trinity, contradicts itself when it states the unadulterated truth. If the Spirit of God was not a person in the Old Testament, it is not a person in the New Testament, and therefore not a member of a so-called Holy Trinity! God does not change to suit the whims and fanciful imaginations of men be they pagan or Christian. There is neither variableness nor shadow of turning with the great Creator God of this universe. However, if there were, and if God, at some point decided that He should become a Trinity on a lark in order to satiate pagan man's inordinate desire to worship Him as such, where is the proof? Such a God would not be deserving of worship. Where indeed can we find in the pages of the Bible during the period between the close of the prophetic age of the Old Testament and the opening of the Messianic age of the New, a clear and precise message calling for a change in the number of the members of the Godhead? We cannot, for there is none.
Is It Necessary to Believe in the Trinity to Be Saved? [51:59]
by J. Dan Gill rated at 2.7 (10 votes so far)
Originally titled: Yet Another Music City Miracle. The evangelical gospel does not include confession in the Trinity. If this is the case there are only two options: (1) the Trinity is not necessary for salvation or (2) evangelicals are preaching an incomplete gospel. J. Dan Gill opts for the former in this fine talk on the subject.
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.
