Episode notes

In this episode I begin to review claims made in an article written by Answers in Genesis-UK Executive Director, Speaker and Author, Simon Turpin.

The article is called:

Refuting Unitarian Errors Regarding the Deity of Jesus:

How can we respond to claims that Jesus is a mere human?

The AiG article reacts to some of my blogposts at Land and Bible. In turn, in this podcast episode I wade through some of the biblical references that the AiG article presents as evidence for the “deity of Christ”. The verses don’t say what deity of Christ believers think or want them to say.

The focus of this episode is on the unbiblical, indeed satanic spirit that claims that Jesus can’t be a man, a “mere” man or “simple” man at the right hand of God.

In contrast to the deity of Christ claim, the Bible claims that a man, a human person (not a God or a god/man or an angel) has been raised from the dead and exalted to God’s right hand. This fact gives humanity hope and knowledge of the love, concern, and care that God has for humankind, and the honor that God gives to humankind.

God "…desires all men to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth. For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, a man Christ Jesus" (1 Timothy 2:4-5).

“What is man that You art mindful of him, or the son of man, that You care for him? You have made him for a little while lower than the angels, You have crowned him with glory and honor” (Hebrews 2:6-7).
