Click here for previous session     When all else fails, John 10:30 relates Jesus as having said, “I and the Father are one.” Short, succinct, to the point, and terribly flawed. In this verse, the manuscript Greek for the English “one” is heis. 139 This word also occurs in John 17:11 and 17:21­23. John 17:11 reads, “Holy Father, keep through Your name those whom You have given me, that they may be one as we are” (italics mine). Literal or metaphorical? John 17:21 reinforces the metaphor with the words, “That they  all may be one, as You, Father, are in me, and I in You, that they  also may be...

Click here for previous session     Not much. The New Catholic Encyclopedia states, “In the Gospels evidence of the Trinity is found explicitly only in the baptismal formula of Mt 28:19.” 137 And what is the baptismal formula of Matthew 28:19? In this verse, Jesus commands his disciples, “Go, therefore, and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.” This being the only gospel verse that explicitly mentions the Father, son and holy spirit together, 138 we should not be surprised to find it echoed in Paul’s teachings—“The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit be with you all”...

Click here for previous session     Dr. C.J. Scofield, D.D., backed by eight other Doctorates of Divinity, asserts the above even more clearly in his footnote to this verse: “It is generally agreed that this verse has no manuscript authority and has been inserted.”131 “Generally agreed”? In the words of Professors Kurt and Barbara Aland, “A glance at the data in the critical apparatus of Nestle­Aland (which is exhaustive for this passage) should make any further comment unnecessary to demonstrate the secondary nature of this addition and the impossibility of its being at all related to the...

Click here for previous session     To begin with, Jesus taught the oneness of God, “Jesus answered him, ‘The first of all the commandments is: “Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is One. And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.” This is the first commandment.’” (Mark 12:29­30). Not only did Jesus stress importance by sandwiching his words between the repeated “This is the first commandment,” but the importance of this teaching is equally stressed in Matthew 22:37 and Luke 10:27. Recognizing the continuity from Judaism, Jesus conveyed his teaching from Deuteronomy 6:4­5 (as acknowledged in all reputable...

Paul’s triumph meant the final obliteration of the historic Jesus; he comes to us embalmed in Christianity like a fly in amber. 125 While many authors have pointed out the...
