Listen Later

by Sean Finnegan

What’s the difference between God and Jesus.  Many Christians believe they are mysteriously one in being, but what do the scriptures teach?  It turns out the bible clearly distinguishes between these two individuals and their attributes preclude their metaphysical oneness.  Listen in to hear the evidence for why Jesus is the son of God not God the son.

This lecture was part of a class called “Exploring Scripture.”  To access more of this class, Exploring Scripture Class.
