Two Debates between Anthony Rogers vs Sean Griffin Debate

 

Here are two excellent debates between Anthony Rogers [Trinitarian] and Sean Griffin [Unitarian]. As I've said before, in my opinion, Rogers is the best living defender of the Trinity, bar none.

In this debate, Rogers has an excellent explanation of the common Unitarian objection that Son being Installed as Lord allegedly proves Jesus can't be fully divine. It begins at 56 minutes and 25 seconds here:   https://youtu.be/VtUvrCssBuk?t=3385

If I'm not mistaken, the following debate occurred a few weeks before the one above.

Is Christ's Nature Contradictory? James Anderson vs. Jc Beall

I'm surprised that both Jc [at 36:37] and James [at 43:51] described the hypostatic union as Jesus being "fully God, and fully man." That's a common layman's description that I myself used for years, but precise theologians have pointed out that the correct way to put it is "truly God, and truly man" [vera Deus, vera homo]. Or truly man, and truly God [vera homo, vera Deus]. Because if Jesus were fully man [or 100% man], there would be no room for him to be Deity. Conversely, if Jesus were fully Divine [or 100% Divine], then there'd be no room for His humanity. I suspect that James knows the more precise phrase is "truly God and truly man," but that he used "fully" so as not to embarrass Jc.
