The Old Testament Witness to the Trinity by Anthony Rogers

 

Anthony  Rogers, my favorite debater for the Trinity, presents an ongoing video series on the Old Testament Witness to the Trinity. This is a topic that I think is VERY important and useful. When done properly, this answers and addresses many objections and objectors to Christianity. If you can prove the Trinity is taught in the Old Testament, it proves that Christianity is the heir of Judaism to Jews, disproves Islamic monotheism and Islamic objections to the Trinity, and presents evidence for the truth of Christianity that ought to make atheist reconsider whether Christianity might actually be true.

Two Debates Between Anthony Rogers and Shabir Ally

 

Christian apologist Anthony Rogers and Islamic apologist Shabir Ally did a back-to-back debate on Nov. 14, 2020. Anthony Rogers is my favorite debater in favor the doctrine of the Trinity, and Shabir Ally is arguably the best Muslim apologist out there. So, these debates are a must watch.

Did Eve Believe Her Firstborn Child Was the Messiah, God Himself?

 

One of my favorite passages that suggests that Jesus is divine is Gen. 4:1. I don't use it as a knockdown argument. It's not the first passage I go to in order to prove the full deity of Christ. But it's one of my favorite to use AFTER I've presented the other more solid evidences and arguments. Anthony Rogers does a great job presenting the evidence for why Gen. 4:1 suggests Jesus is fully God in his video series linked below. I consider Anthony Rogers the best living debater for the doctrine of the Trinity. See all his videos in his YouTube channel. Below is the link to his series on Gen. 4:1:

Unitarian Greg Stafford Debates Trinitarians

I'm a Trinitarian who thinks Unitarian Greg Stafford is someone Trinitarian defenders need to reckon with. Here are two debates he had with Trinitarians.

Toviah Singer and Genesis 1:26 by Anthony Rogers

 

Tovia Singer is a well known rabbi who argues against Christianity and Christian Trinitarianism. Here's a video where Anthony Rogers addresses rabbi Tovia Singer's comments on Gen. 1:26. Rogers' comments in this video is in addition to his other main comments on Gen. 1:26 in other videos for example HERE [linked again below].

 Again, the above video presupposes you have seen Anthony Rogers' videos on the topic of Gen. 1:26. For example here:

Some Trinitarian responses to the Unitarian use of Rev. 3:14 in which they argue for Jesus' creation and temporal beginning.

Can Unitarians really fault us Trinitarians for coming to the conclusions that we do given passages like this? There are so many ways the New Testament connects Jesus with Yahweh/Yehovah that it seems to stretch credulity that in every instance its a case of the Law of Agency/Shaliach Principle/agentival representation as Unitarians claim.

See my blogpost where I show many other ways the New Testament connects Jesus with YHVH.

DEBATE: Does the Old Testament Teach That the Angel of the LORD Is Yahweh?

Another EXCELLENT Debate with Anthony Rogers, who I think is one of the best defenders of the doctrine of the Trinity living today. Here he debates L.J. Thriepland who does a good job defending his view. But Rogers' arguments and evidences were, in my opinion, too strong for Thriepland to overcome. Check out my other blogs linking to Anthony Rogers' materials.

The Eternal Generation of the Son by Lee Irons

Lee Irons explains the doctrine of the eternal generation/filiation of the Son, and the eternal procession/spiration of the Holy Spirit. I don't dogmatically hold to these doctrines, but I do lean toward them. They make some metaphysical and philosophical sense. As well as having some Biblical warrant. Though, not as strong as Dr. Irons claims. His inferences from Scripture aren't necessary, even if they might be likely/probable. Western Trinitarian Christianity has traditionally held to these doctrines, even though some modern Protestants reject them in order to affirm that Christ and the Spirit are themselves also autotheos as the Father is.
