Hi Annoyed, I believe either in this video or somewhere else mentioned Colossians as support for Deity, I was wondering if you have any resources on Colossians 2:9 refuting the Biblical Unitarians?
ReplyDeleteTwo main points are made:
1. Colossians 1:19 has the Father being please to have his (referring to the Father's fullness) dwell in the Son, if so then Colossians 2:9 refers to the Father fully dwelling/tabernacling in the Son and not the deity of Christ.
and
2. Ephesians 3:19 has us being "filled with God" with the context showing it means God's attributes, it's plausible Colossians also refers to that.

DeleteThat requires delving into the Greek of both passages. I don't know Koine, so I really can't answer that question other than to say that the context of the passage in Colossians is very different than the context of Ephesians. I'd recommend you asking the question on Anthony Rogers' weekly live videos on YouTube. He's my favorite living defender of the Trinity among many I appreciate. Rogers has addressed both in his past videos, though I didn't record in which videos and at what time markers he has. But he has done so multiple times. So, you can also watch the archived videos at his youtube channel.
