Responding To Trinitarian Claims About Jesus [18 pages]
by Ray Faircloth rated at 1.6 (6 votes so far)
The doctrine of the Trinity states that God is 3 persons in one nature; but the theory of the hypostatic union states that Jesus was one person with 2 natures – one divine and the other human. This is a contradictory position. If the 3 persons of the Godhead are one nature and Jesus’ 2nd nature, when he was on earth, is combined with it then God has 2 natures. And yet they are supposed to be one nature if Jesus was actually God. This would also mean that the entire Godhead was present on earth when Jesus was on earth.

The Holy Spirit and Translation Bias (2)
by Sean Finnegan [56:05]
rated at 2 (out of 7 votes)
Sean Finnegan builds on part one and works through the five primary texts used to prove the personality of the holy spirit on grammatical grounds (John 14.26; 15.26; 16.13; Ephesians 1.14; 1 John 5.7). Next he explains how to understand the spirit based on the whole of the Biblical data and concludes it cannot and should not be locked in the straightjacket of trinitarian dogma.
