Debate - Dr. Dale Tuggy vs. Chris Date "Is Jesus Human and not Divine?"


Here's a great debate between Dale Tuggy (Unitarian) vs. Chris Date (Trinitarian). I'm a Trinitarian, but I think I'm not being biased when I say that Chris Date won the debate against the foremost philosophically minded Unitarian living today.

Both Tuggy and Date were later interviewed at The Beginning of Wisdom YouTube channel. A channel I highly recommend.

Unitarian prooftexts Addressed


The following is a link to Steve Hays' blogpost where he addresses Unitarian prooftexts from a Trinitarian point of view. His comments aren't meant to be exhaustive, but quick responses. I added my own comments in the combox too.

Are the Angels Included in the "Us" of Genesis 1:26 & Similar Passages?


I'm open to the possibility that the "us" and "our" in passages like Gen. 1:26; 3:22; 11:7 [cf. Isa. 6:8] include God's angels and/or the "sons of God" and/or the Divine Council. That's within the pale of Evangelical orthodoxy. As Michael Heiser's increasingly popular views on the Divine Council demonstrates [see his YouTube videos and his website on the topic].

However, the majority of Evangelicals believe that the "us" and "our" passages in the Old Testament are allusions to the person of the Trinity. This blogpost will be an ever growing and added to resource on the arguments and evidences for the Trinitarian interpretation.




In the 2nd half of the following video, Anthony Rogers makes a strong Biblical and theological case for why the "us" and "our" passages should be interpreted in a way that affirms some kind of plurality in a monotheistic conception of God [e.g. in Trinitarianism] as opposed to strict monotheism as found in rabbinic Judaism, Islam and New Testament based Unitarians.
