"1+1+1 = 1 is not going to get you a pass in mathematics." This comment, made by a Muslim apologist and spoken word artist, is an intriguing critique! When Christians claim that there is one God in three persons, are they making a contradictory statement? When it comes to the nature of God, how much can we really know about him, anyway? And what difference—if any—does it make to us if God is in fact Trinitarian? In this week's episode of Ask Away, Jo invites you to consider a deeply personal question that has tremendous implications for each of our lives: "Who are you, God?!"  ------ We're so glad you joined us for Ask Away. If you have a question that needs answering, we'd love to hear it.

The Ascetical Homilies of St. Isaac the Syrian - Homily III, Part I

Upon reading the beginning of this homily, one clearly gets the sense that Saint Isaac the Syrian wants our understanding of the spiritual life, who we are as human beings, and a relationship with God (who has created us in His image and likeness), to be set on a foundation that is unshakable. One must love Isaac for the effort! He is giving us eyes to see.  He began by presenting us with an image of a soul who truly abides in her nature, and so comes to penetrate into and understand the wisdom of God. Knowing nothing of the impediment of the passions, the soul is lifted up toward God and is astonished and struck with wonder. This is Isaac's starting point for a reason. He wants us to regain what over the course of time has been lost; that is, our perception the beauty and wonder of how God has created us and our natural capacity for love and virtue. Furthermore, it is not just about perception but the experience of being God bearers and temples of the Holy Spirit. It is about our deification.  What has distorted or understanding is the emergence of the passions and how we have come to view them. Isaac tells us categorically that the soul by nature is passionless. We are created in God‘s image and likeness and it is only the emergence of sin that has darken that which was created to be filled with light. Thus, when a soul is moved in a passionate way, she is outside her nature. The passions have the ability to move the soul after the fall. There's a radical communion between body and soul and with sin our experience of the world through the senses and in our desires and appetites become distorted. The break of communion with God leads to an internal break within us as human beings; a fragmentation on the deepest level of our existence. What is the nature of a soul created for communion when it pursues autonomy from the one who created her in love? Is it not only the loss of unity with God but within ourselves and our capacity to experience and reflect our true dignity?  Saint Isaac makes us work in these paragraphs and grapple to understand what he's saying. Yet, it is a labor of love; for it is upon the foundation of this understanding of our nature that we will once again be able to see the wonder and beauty of how God has created us and experience the healing necessary to reflect this wondrous reality to the world. --- Text of chat during the group: 00:17:20 Bob Čihák, AZ: P. 127, paragraph 1 00:31:07 Lindsey Funair: When I hear the memories of the soul grow old, it reminds me that the soul knows not ego or attachment, it remembers only what is worthy of taking to Paradise, only that that is in Love. That is all there is once the world and self-love and other things that are not Love, is filtered from our memory. 00:31:13 Anthony: It's important to say that Isaac was born into a time and geography of turmoil and he wasn't living in comfort locked away from the outside. 00:31:43 Maureen Cunningham: Washington Carfer 00:31:52 Maureen Cunningham: Carver 00:33:02 Troyce Garrett Quimpo: This sections reminds me of St John of the Cross's Purgative Way. 00:36:11 Anthony: George Washington Carver 00:36:20 Vanessa: famous Black inventer 00:40:08 Maureen Cunningham: Yes George Washington Carver thank you , a little book I read . A Man who talked to flowers. 00:40:34 Anthony: I think when Isaac refers to philosophers he might have in mind the humors that dominate a man or the astrologers who Forcast about a person. 00:42:08 Lindsey Funair: it helps me to think of passions in this sense of Maslow's entire hierarchy, those things which are necessary to life and living and connecting with others and doing good, but when focused on directly become a distraction from the humility and obedience which place us "in" our soul and in relative connection to God 00:42:08 Manuel: How this idea that the soul is passionless by nature fit in with the opening of the Philokalia “There is among the passions an anger of the intellect, and this anger is in accordance with nature. Without anger a man cannot attain purity”? 00:44:25 Vanessa: When I went to university, I always thought the academics disciplines were centered around "explaining the world without God." 00:44:51 Anthony: I wrote it 00:44:56 Kathy Locher: What in our nature would have made us susceptible to temptation.

What if the Bible's story didn't start in Genesis, but in eternity past? Discover the eternal covenant between Father and Son that shapes all of Scripture and salvation history. In this episode of Remnant Radio, Joshua Lewis sits down with Dr. Ryan McGraw, professor of systematic theology at Greenville Presbyterian Theological Seminary, to unpack the powerful doctrine of Covenant Theology. But this isn't just about ancient agreements—it's about the eternal plan of salvation crafted before time began. Dr. McGraw lays out the “covenant of redemption,” the intra-Trinitarian agreement between the Father and the Son to redeem a people through the perfect obedience and atoning death of Christ. This covenant provides the foundation for everything that unfolds in redemptive history—from Adam's failure under the covenant of works, to the unfolding covenant of grace that culminates in Christ and continues through the Church.Together, they trace the storyline of Scripture from Genesis to Revelation, showing how the theme of covenant brings coherence and clarity to God's dealings with His people. You'll hear how the law reveals not just commands, but the very character of God; how the gospel is embedded even in the earliest pages of the Old Testament; and how the biblical distinction between the seed of the woman and the seed of the serpent runs throughout all redemptive history. Whether you're new to covenant theology or looking to deepen your theological roots, this episode will help you see that the Bible is not a disjointed anthology—but a breathtaking, unified narrative of God's eternal purpose in Christ. ABOUT THE GUEST:

In this enlightening episode of Sermon Brainwave, hosts Karoline Lewis, Matt Skinner, and Rolf Jacobson delve into the theological significance of the Ascension of Our Lord, which falls on May 29, 2025. The conversation explores why this often-overlooked feast day is crucial for understanding Jesus' ongoing authority and presence in the world today. The hosts discuss how the Ascension serves as the pivotal bridge between Luke and Acts, connecting Jesus' earthly ministry to the coming of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost, and its importance for Trinitarian theology. Drawing from the lectionary texts (Acts 1:1-11, Psalm 47, Ephesians 1:15-23, and Luke 24:44-53), the hosts unpack how the Ascension of Our Lord is not merely about Jesus' location but about his authority and power. They explore the connection between Christ's ascension and the church's mission, explaining that Jesus' enthronement isn't about distant rule but about his continued embodied presence and activity through the Spirit. This episode offers valuable insights for preachers and teachers seeking to communicate the relevance and importance of the Ascension in contemporary Christian faith. *  *  * Don't forget to like, subscribe, and share to stay connected with more insightful lectionary discussions!

Send us a textWhat does it truly mean when Jesus said, "I lay down my life for the sheep"? This provocative episode tackles one of Christianity's most challenging doctrines: limited atonement.We begin by examining Isaiah 53 and the crucial question it raises: Who exactly are "His people" for whom Christ died? The answer takes us through a powerful exploration of election, predestination, and the nature of salvation itself. Our panel navigates the scriptural evidence that challenges popular notions of universal atonement, demonstrating how Jesus came not to make salvation merely possible for all, but to actually secure it for those given to Him by the Father.The conversation reveals a profound truth: all views of atonement are limited in some way. Either Christ's power to save is limited (He tried but failed to save everyone), or the scope of His saving intent is limited (He perfectly accomplished exactly what He intended). As one panelist observes, "If Jesus intended to save everyone and doesn't, He's the biggest failure that has ever walked on the earth."Throughout the discussion, we unpack key passages including John 10 and John 17, where Jesus distinguishes between "His sheep" and "the world." We also explore the perfect Trinitarian harmony in salvation—how the Father elects, the Son redeems, and the Spirit regenerates the very same people.This episode doesn't shy away from difficult truths, but presents them with clarity and biblical fidelity. Whether you're wrestling with questions about God's sovereignty, human responsibility, or the nature of Christ's atonement, you'll find this conversation both challenging and enlightening.Ready to dive deeper into what Scripture actually teaches about who Christ came to save?

In this doctrinally rich session, Dr. Samuel Renihan explains how the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are truly distinct yet fully and equally God. Using a "5–4–3–2–1" framework, he explores eternal relations and personal properties: five notions, four relations, three properties, two processions, and one divine essence. This session clarifies how classical Trinitarian theology avoids both tritheism and modalism. Rather than being distinguished by role or rank, each person is identified by eternal origin—such as the Father's begetting of the Son and the Spirit's procession. Dr. Renihan carefully guides listeners through the biblical foundations and confessional categories that safeguard orthodoxy. While the content is technical, it is deeply important for anyone seeking to understand and articulate the mystery and majesty of the Triune God.

Love to hear from you; “Send us a Text Message”Marriage as a divine sacrament is radically misunderstood in our secular age. While many see it merely as a social contract or romantic bond, its true nature runs infinitely deeper – it's a visible sign that reveals God's invisible mystery of Trinitarian love.Young people today are increasingly abandoning marriage altogether, finding it easier to "just forget it" than attempt to understand its profound meaning. This tragic reality stems from our culture's impoverished view of love and relationships, which has left hearts confused and yearning for something they can't quite name.The John Paul II Renewal Center was formed precisely to address this modern crisis of meaning. At its core is a revolutionary truth – our bodies were designed to "make visible what is invisible, the spiritual and the divine." Whether married or single, discover how your heart was made for this eternal love story and how embracing this truth transforms relationships, identity, and purpose. Contact Jack: info@jp2renew.orgFollow us and watch on X: John Paul II Renewal @JP2RenewalOn Rumble: JohnPaulIIRCIf you're interested in being a sponsor of the Become Who You Are Podcast, please email us at Info@JP2Renew.org Support the show

The story of Jesus' transfiguration on the mount before Peter, James, and John prompts three reflections. Zack first reflects on holiness -- that quality that makes God God, that cannot be attained but only caught contagiously from Him, that takes the form of shining face. Second, Zack examines fear. While fear can function to motivate people in Scripture, here, as often elsewhere, it more properly means something like "intense awe" -- the sort that God sometimes grants us as encouragement at the exact point we need that. Finally, Zack argues for the importance of Jesus being a (capital P) Person (to use classic Trinitarian language) and not a mere abstraction.

This week's episode explores this important early second-century Christian document's theology, christology, and pneumatology.

136) The High Cost of Deity of Christ Interpretations: Dishonoring the Father

One God Report

Deity of Christ Interpretations of the Bible Dishonor the Father, the Only True God If Jesus is God, then God the Father is not the one true God. The claim that “Jesus is God” becomes the main building block used by humans to construct a multi-person god. If Jesus is one member of a multi-person (or a Triune god) then the multi-person god is the one God, and the Father is not.  Mainstream Christians agree that there is one God.  “Weare monotheists. We believe in one God”. But for mainstream Christians, the one God is made up of three persons.   Either the Father, a singular self, is the one true God, or a multi-person god is the one God.  But if the Father is the one true God, then the claim that “Jesus is God” (that God is multi-persons) is an attempt to denigrate the only true God -- the Father. What deity of Christ and Trinitarian interpreters are doing is attempting to put another god on the face of and in the place of our God and Father.  The HIGH cost of any “deity of Christ” interpretations is an attempt to claim that the Father is not the one, the only true God.  Christians need to decide: who is your God. Either the Trinity, or the Father alone. Your God can't be both.For full text of the podcast, see here:https://landandbible.blogspot.com/2025/03/the-high-cost-of-deity-of-christ.html#deityofchrist, #biblicalunitarian, #billschlegel

In this episode of the Real Plus True podcast, co-hosts Emily Mentoc and Edmund Mitchell dive deep into the Lord's Prayer, specifically focusing on the opening words, 'Our Father who art in heaven.' The discussion covers the role and qualities of a father, comparing earthly fatherhood with the divine fatherhood of God as revealed by Jesus. They explore the theological foundations of calling God 'Father' and its implications on our relationship with God and each other. They also touch on the challenges people might face due to their own experiences with fatherhood and offer resources and insights on deepening this divine relationship through catechesis and prayer.(00:00)  Emily and Edmund open by welcoming listeners and revisiting this season's focus on the Lord's Prayer, introducing this episode's topic and focus: Learning to pray “Our Father”. They reflect on how cultural portrayals and personal experiences of fatherhood shape our view of God as Father.(08:28)  Edmund and Emily explain that Jesus uniquely reveals God as Father, something we can't grasp by reason alone. Through Jesus, we learn we are adopted children of God. They highlight how calling God “Abba” was revolutionary at the time, showing a new depth of intimacy with God.(13:16)  The conversation focuses on the importance of a Trinitarian foundation in prayer. God is one and God is three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Praying the Our Father unites us to Jesus's own relationship with the Father. Edmund and Emily recommend resources for deeper study.(20:37) Edmund and Emily highlight that the Catechism advises us to set aside flawed earthly images before saying “Our Father.” They note how worldly models of fatherhood can impact our understanding of God as Father.(27:37)  The conversation transitions to emphasizing the power of praying “Our” Father, which unites believers as one family rather than individuals in isolation. Even in private prayer, the communal aspect reminds us we share a bond with all who call God Father. The episode ends by urging listeners to revisit the Lord's Prayer with deeper gratitude in daily prayer.An OSV Podcasts partner.

Gregory of Nazianzus, a Cappadocian Father, was a critical figure in the 4th century for his defense of Nicene Trinitarian theology against Arianism. His early life involved familial conversion and a rigorous classical education, culminating in a deep friendship with Basil the Great. Despite his reluctance, he served in ecclesiastical roles, including Archbishop of Constantinople, where he championed Trinitarian doctrine. Gregory's theological contributions centered on the Trinity, emphasizing purification and the potential for humanity's deification through Christ. His enduring legacy includes influential orations, poems, and letters that have shaped Christian thought and earned him the title "The Theologian." for more online courses www.twinsbiblicalacademy.com

God Is Father, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit, and You Pray to One Triune Being – God, the Creator of the Universe MESSAGE SUMMARY: In Mark 8:29, Jesus asked His Disciples the question He asks you: “And he asked them, ‘But who do you say that I am?' Peter answered him, ‘You are the Christ {Messiah}.'". As Paul writes in Ephesians 4:1-6: “There is one body and one Spirit—just as you were called to the one hope that belongs to your call— one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all. But grace was given to each one of us according to the measure of Christ's gift.”.  God IS Father, IS Son, and He IS Holy Spirit. Jesus told the crowd in the Temple; and He tells us, as it is recorded for us now by the Apostle John, in John 10:25,30: “Jesus answered them, ‘I told you, and you do not believe. The works that I do in my Father's name bear witness about me . . . I and the Father are one.'”. Also, Jesus provides more insights to your Trinitarian relationship with God in John 14:18-20: “I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you. Yet a little while and the world will see me no more, but you will see me. Because I live, you also will live. In that day you will know that I am in my Father, and you in me, and I in you.". God is one God, but He is in three natures: God is Father, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit. Therefore, when you pray, you are praying to one triune being – God, the Creator of the Universe.   TODAY'S PRAYER: Lord, help me to be still and to wait patiently for you in silence. In Jesus' name, amen. Scazzero, Peter. Emotionally Healthy Spirituality Day by Day (p. 125). Zondervan. Kindle Edition.

In previous episodes, we saw that no one in the Bible - notJesus, not Moses, not Isaiah or any other prophet, not Peter, not Paul or any other apostle – no one proclaimed or described that God is three in one.  Rather, we saw specifically that God is the Father alone, the God of our Lord Jesus Christ. We looked at Paul's description of God and the Lord Jesus Christ in Ephesians 1.To Paul, God is not the Trinity, but the Father alone. And, Paul says the LordJesus Christ has a God. The Lord Jesus Christ's God is the Father. The LordJesus Christ is not God since he has a God and Jesus is someone other than God.Previous episodes:If the Bible is Right, God is NOT a Trinity (Part 1) https://youtu.be/S1-qBYVrkdUIf the Bible is Right, God is NOT a Trinity (Part 2) https://youtu.be/2x81JF9sKqc It is simple reading comprehension. When reading the Bible, nowhere is God a Triune being. I want to make one more simple reading example in the Bible where, in this case, we will see if the Apostle Peter believed that God was a Trinity, or that the Lord Jesus Christ was God.  Through simple reading comprehension, we will be able understand that the Apostle Peter's God was not the Trinity, and the Lord Jesus Christ was not Peter's God. Peter DID NOT declare that “God is a Trinity”. Peter DID NOT declare that one must believe that God is a Trinity. Peter DID declare that someone else other than the Lord Jesus Christ is God, that is, that the Lord Jesus Christ is not God. Peter DID declare that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the Living God. We look at a couple of corroborating statements from Peter in the Gospels and one of his epistles, but focus on Peter's Pentecost sermon in Acts Chapter 2.   Acts 2:2224"Men of Israel, listen to these words: Jesus of Nazareth, a man attested to you by God with powerful deeds, wonders, and miraculous signs that God performed among you throughhim, just as you yourselves know– 23this man, who was handed over by the predetermined plan and foreknowledge ofGod, you executed by nailing him to a cross at the hands of Gentiles. 24 But God raised him up… In this text, is God triune?  Is Jesus God?  Acts 2:30-33“So then, because he was a prophet and knew that God had sworn to him with an oath to seat one of his descendants on his throne, 31 David by foreseeing this spoke about the resurrection of the Christ, that he was neither abandonedto Hades, nor did his body experience decay. 32 This Jesus God raised up, and we are all witnesses of it. 33 So then, exalted to the right hand of God, and having received the promise of the holy spirit from the Father, he has poured out what you both see and hear.” Acts 2:36Therefore let all the house of Israel know beyond a doubt that God has made this Jesus whom you crucified both Lord and Christ."  Mark 8:29, He asked them, "But who do you say that I am?" Peter answered him, "You are the Christ." Luke 9:20, Then he said to them, "But who do you say that I am?" Peter answered, "The Christ of God." Matt. 16:16, Simon Peter answered, "You are the Christ,the Son of the living God." (Mat 16:16 NET) 1 Peter 1:3, Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! By his great mercy he gave us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,  1 Peter 20-21He (Christ) was foreknown before the foundation of the world but was manifested in these last times for your sake. 21 Through him you now trust in God, who raised him from the dead and gave him glory, so that your faith and hope are in God. Peter never describes God as being triune, and never declares that Jesus is God.   If the Bible is right, God is not a Trinity.If Peter is right, God is not a Trinity.If your God is the Trinity, you have a different God than Peter.
