In this presentation from the 2024 UCA New Zealand Conference, Dale Tuggy demonstrates 14 contradictions implied when people suppose that the Jesus of scripture is divine in the ways the scriptural authors hold the one God to be divine. The biblical Jesus has many qualities, which in the eyes of biblical authors rule out his being fully divine.

A bible oriented Christian should think that a fully divine Jesus is as impossible as a figure which is both a square and a triangle.

In a recent discussion with Sean McDowell, William Lane Craig offered some reasons to believe Jesus is fully divine. In this response video, Dale Tuggy points out that each of the reasons offered fail to demonstrate what Craig claims.

In this presentation at the 2024 UCA NZ Conference, Pastor Sean Finnegan evaluates the biblical evidence for the deity of Christ.

Discerning how many times the New Testament refers to Jesus as God depends on complex textual, grammatical, and exegetical issues. Still, most recognize between two and nine instances.

Although the tendency to default to a trinitarian (homoousia) interpretation remains prevalent, reading these handful of verses within their original historical contexts yields several other more likely possibilities.

Finnegan presents five major options for understanding these texts, recommending a Hebrew representative approach.

In this presentation at the 2024 UCA Conference, Dr. Dale Tuggy works us through the mainstream theologies within Christianity during the late 100's - early 200's. By examining the writings from that era, he identifies three: logos theory, modalistic monarchianism, and dynamic monarchianism. This is in stark contrast to what trinitarians expect to find, but is fully consistent with the account unitarians give for the post-apostolic development of the doctrine of God. He argues that this historical evidence, in addition to the biblical evidence, ought to motivate Christians to continue the reformation by rolling back their views of God and Jesus to the original teaching.

Some Trinitarian apologists and commentators, including Dr. James White, claim that Jesus is identified as Yahweh in John 12:41. To do so, White appeals to the throne room scene in Isaiah 6.

In this presentation from the 2024 UCA Conference, Will Barlow (Pastor of Compass Christian Church in Louisville, Kentucky) shows that a careful consideration of every throne room scene in the Bible will show that there is always only one Supreme Divine Figure on the throne.

This Supreme Divine Figure is defined throughout scripture as the Father. This “throne room problem” effectively refutes White’s interpretation of John 12:41 and actually distinguishes Jesus from Yahweh.

In this presentation from the 2024 UCA Conference, Dr. Dustin Smith examines what the biblical authors mean when they apply the traits, attributes, and roles of personified wisdom to the figure of Jesus Christ.

He first establishes the precedent in pre-Christian Judaism for applying texts describing personified wisdom to human beings (a theological move that many scholars have come to recognize as “incarnation”). Then he moves on to the portrayals of Wisdom Christology in Paul, Hebrews, the synoptic gospels, and the Gospel of John.

Finally, he draws conclusions related to the "incarnation" of wisdom in Jesus Christ, boldly stating: "The doctrine of incarnation does not belong to Nicene Christianity, it belongs to Jewish monotheists. It is time to reclaim what we have lost and take back the rightful property of wisdom inspired Jewish theology. Only then can we truly begin to confidently read Paul and John without having to combat difficult christological passages."
