Discussion of biblical topics and texts that show that the God revealed in the Bible is One, and not a Trinity. Jesus, who was put to death and raised from the dead by God, is the Messiah (the Christ, the Anointed) of the One God.

118) Where is the Man Jesus in John 1?
Some Biblical Unitarians (believers in the One God, the
Father), don’t see the man Jesus in the first verses of John’s Gospel. Instead, they understand the Word/Logos” as an abstract plan, design, promise or wisdom that is only personified (described as if it were a person).
Trinitarian “diety-of-Christ” and “Arian” believers likewise don’t see the human person, the human being Jesus of Nazareth in the first verses of John’s Gospel. They see only a “divine being/person who became flesh” – but this podcast is not directed toward them. They have bigger problems.
This podcast should challenge believers in One God, the Father, to see that the “personified plan, purpose, wisdom” interpretation of John’s Prologue falls short.
I asked fourteen One God, the Father believers who have lectured or written about their abstract personification interpretation of John’s Prologue, this question:
“At what place in John 1 do you first see the man Christ Jesus of Nazareth or his ministry, either metaphorically or literally, being the subject?“
Their answers should be enlightening.

117) Mean Tweets: "You're a Heretic!"
For those who come to understand and believe that the God of the Bible is the Father alone (John 17:3, 1 Cor. 8:6) and that Jesus is God's human Messiah, the Christ, the Son of God --- you will be condemned by many religious leaders and even family and friends.
This podcast gives some examples :).

116) Thy Kingdom Come! Interview with Pastor Sean Finnegan, the Gospel (Good News) of the Kingdom of God
Pastor Finnegan has written a book called, “Kingdom Journey:
A Call to Recover the Central Theme of Scripture.”
Pastor Finnegan describes how God’s central promise for humans is not a
disembodied escape to heaven, but of resurrection to a full immortal life on a
renewed earth. In other words, restoration not relocation.
See the
show notes for links to Pastor Finnegan’s book, and also to a previous podcast where
Pastor Finnegan discussed “Where do we go when we die?”

114) Why Some Christians Don't Believe in the Trinity: Forrest Maready
“They believe in God. They believe in Jesus. They believe in
the Holy Spirit. But they don’t believe in what is considered the most important doctrine of them all…they don’t believe in the Trinity.
“If you are a Christian, what you were taught about the Trinity is probably wrong.
“If you’ve ever wondered exactly how Christians have come to what might seem to be
a strange interpretation of the nature of God, this book should provide you with a crystal-clear look into the study and understanding of how and why many believers insist that God is one and not three.

#113) "I and the Father are one" and "the glory I had with you" are not Deity of Christ texts: John 17:11, 20-24
When Jesus said, “I and the Father are one” (John 10:30), was he claiming to be God?
No. We see Jesus use the same language of more than one person being “one” in John 17:11, indeed of believers being “one” with both Jesus and the Father. What he means is a one-ness of purpose and intention, a one-ness of unity toward the same goals.
Was it the God Jesus who prayed, “Now, Father, glorify me together with yourself, with the glory which I had with you before the world came to be.” No. Rather this was the prayer of the man
Jesus the Christ expressing his faith in the pre-determined promise of God. Expressing trust in God’s promise, Jesus
was speaking of a future reality as if it had already happened.
We see in John 17:20-24 that the Father GAVE to Jesus glory before the foundation of the world, that Jesus already had been given that glory when he was speaking, and that he already gave the same glory to others who had not yet believed in him.

Customer Reviews
Refreshingly thorough analysis
Thanks to brother Bill Schlegel’s diligence, many facets of each gem of doctrine are carefully examined. Whether or not I agree with each application or conclusion, I find these podcasts to be meaty spiritual exercise. Yum. Meat. And in this case, mostly kosher meat. So come and dine with brother Bill, per Hebrews 5:14.
I guess this means I’m a Heretic?!
I have listened to 87 episodes in 18 days. Bill is quite good at explaining an Biblical Unitarian position with conviction. Bill’s passion for the unity of God the Father is straightforward and spine-strengthening. Everyday for the last 3 months I have been shocked and rocked by the malfeasance of Bible translators. They know what they are doing. If they didn’t know they wouldn’t give so many footnotes with all the exceptions at the bottom of every page of my ESV. If I lived 500 years ago, the “church” would put me to death for what I believe to be the simple and blatant truth of scripture.
Excellent!
I anxiously await every single episode.
