Click here for previous session       Most Christians assert that mankind needed a sacrifice to redeem their sins, but an ordinary human sacrifice wouldn’t do; only a divine sacrifice would suffice. Strict monotheists—be they Orthodox Jew, Unitarian Christian or Muslim—may object, as in this typical exchange: Monotheist: Oh. So you believe God died? Trinitarian: No, no, perish the thought. Only the man died. Monotheist: In that case, the sacrifice didn’t need to be divine, if only the man­part died. Trinitarian: No, no, no. The man­part died, but Jesus/God had to suffer on the cross to atone for our sins. Monotheist: What do you mean “had to”? God doesn’t “have to” anything. Trinitarian:...

Click here for previous session       In a chapter entitled “Theologically Motivated Alterations of the Text” in his book, Misquoting Jesus, Professor Ehrman elaborates on the corruption of 1 Timothy 3:16, which was detected not only by Sir Isaac Newton, but also by the eighteenth century scholar, Johann J. Wettstein. In Ehrman’s words, “A later scribe had altered the original reading, so that it no longer read “who” but “God” (made manifest in the flesh). In other words, this later corrector changed the text in such a way as to stress Christ’s divinity…. Our earliest and best manuscripts, however, speak of Christ ‘who’ was made manifest in the flesh, without calling Jesus, explicitly, God.” 145 Ehrman stresses that this corruption is evident in five early Greek manuscripts. All the same it was...

Click here for previous session       Similarly, for every verse held as evidence of the Trinity, there is one or more that discredits or disqualifies. Much to the frustration of the Christian world, biblical confirmation of Jesus teaching the Trinity is not just scarce, it is absent. If anything, the opposite is the case. Three times Jesus is recorded as having emphasized the first commandment, saying, “The Lord our God, the Lord is one” (Mark 12:29; Matthew 22:37; and Luke 10:27). In none of these three instances did he even hint at the Trinity. And who has more biblical authority than Jesus? Vain analogies similarly fall apart. The Trinitarian argument that, “God...
