trinities.org/blog/podcast-284-does-the-bible-teach-that-god-is-a-trinity-cole-tuggy-dialogue-part-3 After our December 2019 dialogue Dr. Cole followed up on his Understanding Christianity podcast, mounting some new arguments that according to the New Testament God is the Trinity. In this episode I start to evaluate these arguments. Pastor Cole particularly focuses on this famous text:
“Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit…”
Matthew 29:19, ESV
According to a famous 19th century unitarian Christian scholar, a better translation would be:
“Go ye, therefore, and make disciples of al nations; baptizing them to the Father, and to the Son, and to the holy spirit.”
I discuss why he thinks this, and what I make of this passage, and of Dr. Cole’s claim that it teaches the one God to be the Trinity.
Then pastor Cole argues from the Gospel according to John. He doubles down on some of his claims about ch. 1, and also mounts an argument from the “I am” sayings of Jesus in that book. Is Jesus here claiming to be God himself by applying God’s own name to himself?
He also argues that John 1:18 teaches that “Jesus is God.” I explain why I think this is mistaken, as is Dr. Cole’s claim that John 20 teaches that Jesus is the one God.
Next week I’ll evaluate his arguments based on the writings of Paul.
