Some Thoughts on Isaiah 9:6 [2 pages]
by Sean Finnegan rated at 1.0 (5 votes so far)
Many people have seen this verse as the proof-text of Jesus' divinity in the Old Testament. Even though this verse has traditionally been argued in this direction, Christian thinkers are now starting to break new ground by taking into consideration the historical context of the prophecy. One resource that has discovered a new understanding of this verse is the NET Bible (New English Translation). Remarkably this Trinitarian study Bible contains stunning insights into what Isaiah 9.6 is really saying.

Is the Trinity Necessary for Salvation (Truth Matters)
by J. Dan Gill [28:06]
rated at 1.6 (out of 6 votes)
During over three decades of ministry, Tennessee pastor J. Dan Gill has observed a tendency within evangelicalism to preach the gospel without telling people about the doctrine of the Trinity. In fact, large crusades that Billy Graham preaches at do not inform people about these matters at all. Is this modern tendency good news or bad news? Some, in their zeal to uphold their church's traditions have declared that those who do not believe in the doctrine of the Trinity or the dual natures of Christ are not Christians. Who is right?
In his authentic and endearing southern style, pastor Gill brings us to the Scriptures, especially the book of Acts, in order to decipher an answer based on the evangelism of the first Christians. In the end, Dan assures us that we are not stuck between loosing our mind or loosing our soul as the famous quip has it: "If you try to understand the Trinity, you lose your mind; if you don't believe in it, you lose your soul"
