Does Deuteronomy 6:4 teach the absolute oneness of God, or does the Hebrew text support a Trinitarian understanding of God’s nature? On this episode of Apostolic Life in the 21st Century, Dr. David K. Bernard responds to a popular argument circulated by Trinitarian apologists which claims the Hebrew word echad in Deuteronomy 6:4 refers to “unity” rather than “singularity,” thereby implying plurality within the Godhead.
Dr. Bernard evaluates the linguistic, biblical, and theological merit of this claim and explains how Oneness Pentecostals should understand and respond to this interpretation. His clear explanation of the Hebrew text and its broader scriptural context offers valuable guidance for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the doctrine of the Oneness of God.
