    James White made a HUGE MISTAKE by thinking Tuggy was supposed to address what White said in his opening statement in Tuggy's opening statement!! Opening statements are NOT the place for rebuttals. White had Tuggy's opening statement weeks ahead of time, along with the rules of the debate. Knowing that, White's error doesn't make him look stupid, but it does make him look dishonest, unchristian, and very mean spirited, betrayedby his mocking tone. The first goal in any of these debates should be to appear Christ-like in your character and spirit. White failed that test miserably. Later, Tuggy successfully rose to the occasion in his 10 minutes and debunked everything White had said in White's opening statement!!
    To those with eyes to see, the Trinity died in this debate.

      Does the interlocutor taking the affirmative position provide their opening statement to the one taking the negative position ahead of time? Who bears the burden of proof in a debate like this? The Unitarian position is surely the minority position but given the audience, White's position is the minority and the one making the claim that goes against common opinion.

      Your statements seem to have a side. I don't hear you saying Tuggy was incorrect when he said 'the godman' wasn't in the early a belief held by the earliest christian. Perhaps the debate wasn't put appropriately. Him(James) being the second speaker would have been better.

      As God's Messianic agent, the things said of God can be said about Jesus.
      Except for "I am." Jesus did not claim he was God by saying "ego eimi." If you are interested in truth, look into it further.

    • @LoveAndLiberty02
      @LoveAndLiberty02 4 месяца назад +4

      @WilliamStrain-th4xw "The Septuagint translates the “I am that I am” of Exodus 3:14 as “ego eimi ho on.” Ego eimi is simply the “be verb” and not a name or an identity. God said “I am (ego eimi) ho on.” Thus, ho on is God’s name, not ego eimi. Scholars admit that ho on is difficult to translate, but it roughly means the self-existing one. So in Exodus 3:14 God said, “I am (ego eimi) the Self-Existing One (ho on). If Jesus had wanted to say he was God in John 8:58, he simply could have said, “I am (ego eimi) that I am (ho on),” or “I am (ego eimi) the Self Existing One (ho on).” But he didn’t. He simply said, “before Abraham was born, I am the one” or “I am the Christ ” or “I am the Son of Man.”

      White recognizes that God gave us logic and expects us to use it when interpreting God's revelation. If human nature was corrupted by the curse of sin then prior to that corruption humans existed in an uncorrupted nature directly as the perfect God created them. Since the Bible declares that there is only one being of Yahweh and yet three persons are called Yahweh in the Bible we can reasonably discuss the first, second, and third persons in common order of Father, Son, and Spirit.

    Tuggy's "Biden" example was spot on in terms of how the words "all" and "every" are used. Not just in the Bible, but in everyday language. In other words, they must be qualified. I would think this would be obvious, but it is a window into the mind of James White, and let's us know why he misinterprets the bible where these terms are used all the time. For example: Mark 1:5 KJV - "And there went out unto him ALL the land of Judaea, and they of Jerusalem, and were ALL baptized of him in the river of Jordan, confessing their sins."
    Does anyone think that everybody to a man in Jerusalem and Judea, came down and got baptized by John the Baptist ?? All means "all" !!
    Or does it? Obviously, the word "all" in this scripture, and in virtually every scripture that is used, has to be qualified. It's so sad that James White can not see that.

    Tuggy couldn't justify his assumption that God cannot be human and divine, having two natures. That would be a metaphysical argument. He presented his case based on that philosophical assumption and started reading texts in that way. He has to do exegesis to get unitarian doctrine rather than trinitarian one. For a metaphysical debate he has to deal with the doctrine of pure act of being and his power to actualize a less potency like human nature.

      1.
      limitless or endless in space, extent, or size; impossible to measure or calculate.
      The bible is clear that God is one infinite being. Him being Infinite would be impossible to measure or calculate. Infinity has no limits.
      IT MEANS THAT GOD CAN NOT BE ADDED, SUBTRACTED, MULTIPLIED OR EVEN BE DIVIDED. HE IS ONE AND WOULD ALWAYS BE ONE. The bible is also clear that this ONE INFINITE BEING is Yahweh. The bible is also clear that the Father, Son and Holy Spirit are UNITED YAHWEH.
      John 3:11
      New King James Version
      11 Most assuredly, I say to you, We speak what We know and testify what We have seen, and you do not receive Our witness.
      Here we can see that one singular person "I" is suddenly switch to plural "We" and "Our." This is ONE SPEAKS AS THREE AND THREE SPEAK AS ONE.
      Who are these witnesses that the Son is talking about? The answer is:
      1 John 5:7
      New King James Version
      7 For there are three that bear witness in heaven: the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit; and these three are one.
      If the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are united; how are they united? The answer is found in:
      Deuteronomy 6:4
      King James Version
      4 Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD:
      Hear, O Israel: Yahweh our God is one Yahweh:
      Hear, O Israel: Yahweh our God is UNITED Yahweh:
      The Father, Son and Holy Spirit are UNITED Yahweh; they are united as one God.
      IF YOU ARE SAYING THAT EACH MEMBER BEING ADDED WOULD MAKE GOD 3 GODS; THEN YOU ARE DOING ADDITION AND THAT WOULD INVALIDATE THE MEANING OF INFINITE. IF YOU ARE SAYING THAT EACH MEMBER IS 1/3 OF THE WHOLE, THEN YOU ARE DOING DIVISION; THAT WOULD ALSO INVALIDATE THE MEANING OF INFINITE.

      New King James Version
      32 “But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.
      God is Omniscient; He knows all things. The Son does not know the day and the hour of his coming to restore the kingdom; therefore, he can not be God.
      The Son is God and Man. 100% God and 100% Man. When he said that he does not know the day and the hour of his coming to restore the kingdom; he is talking in respect of his humanity. He is saying that no angels or humans, including himself as human, know it. Now, the question is: Is the Son being God knows the day and the hour of his coming to restore the kingdom? The answer to that is yes.
      Acts 1:6-7
      New King James Version
      6 Therefore, when they had come together, they asked Him, saying, “Lord, will You at this time restore the kingdom to Israel?” 7 And He said to them,➡️“It is not for you to know times or seasons⬅️which the Father has put in His own authority.
      Take note: The Son said, "It is not for you to know times or seasons." He did not say, "It is not for us to know times or seasons." By not including himself, he is implying that he does know the day and the hour of his coming to restore the kingdom. Are there other verses that would prove that Jesus is Omniscient? Yes
      John 21:17
      New King James Version
      17 He said to him the third time, “Simon, son of Jonah, do you love Me?” Peter was grieved because He said to him the third time, “Do you love Me?”
      And he said to Him, “Lord, You know all things; You know that I love You.”
      Jesus said to him, “Feed My sheep.
      John 16:30
      New King James Version
      30 Now we are sure that You know all things, and have no need that anyone should question You. By this we believe that You came forth from God.”
      JESUS' DIVINITY - KNOWS DAY AND HOUR
      JESUS' HUMANITY - DOES NOT KNOW DAY AND HOUR

      This is not the Trinitarian position. To anyone who is a Unitarian or convinced by this Unitarian talking point, I urge you to actually read the Nicene Fathers and a basic text like Fr John Behr's Nicene Theology/Way to Nicea series. I would highly recommend listening to Dr Beau Branson's talks, as he addresses Tuggy specifically, and his dissertation, "The Logical Problem of the Trinity," specifically calls out Tuggy.
      The basic Trinitarian position outlined at Nicea and Constantinople I is that there is one God, the Father, who communicates his divinity to his Son, who is his Wisdom and Power (per the New Testament). The Holy Spirit is likewise understood to be of the same nature as the Father, because he shares in the same Divine Activity that is proper only to Divinity (cf Gregory of Nyssa Ad Ablabius). The theology of "One Divinity" is only preserved, according to Gregory Nazianzus, if one refers back to a "single principle," which is universally identified as the Father. The Son and Spirit both derive their Divinity from the Father, who is their source, or "arche". This is called Monarchical Trinitarianism, and is the predominant view of those who penned the Nicene Creed and presided over the council of Constantinople.
      Take your time to actually understand this doctrine. History is complex, and this naive protestant presupposition inherited in Unitarianism that "we just look at the text!" is exactly what leads to endless and eternal schisms and separations.

    Dale's conduct in the question and answer was awful, not following rules, making petty comments.
    He wanted to frame James with words and when he saw he couldn't do it he got mad 😂😂😂
    Other than that, in his opening statement he quoted scripture that clearly identifies Jesus as God but conveniently left those verses out.
    Jesus will come in glory as Yahweh and all knees will bow to him, he will judge, he is the one that searches the mind and hearts (only Yahweh can do that), he is the one that wounds (only Yahweh does that) he is the one that holds the keys of death in his his hand and again according to scripture only Yahweh can do that.

      I think he just wants everyone on the right side. When we die it is too late to recant what we believed in our hearts.
      Dr. Tuggy was a Trinitarian for most of his life, and then unfortunately fell away. It’s sad to see that someone who knew the truth in their hearts and then suddenly have a ‘new truth’.
      The Triune God couldn’t have been so outrageous as so many others have had this realization through interpretation of the Biblical texts.
      I watched the pastor of my church (for almost 25 years) walk away to start preaching a false gospel and claiming it to be truth. The devil doesn’t attack people who are far away from God because there is no reason to as they are already lost. He attacks people who are reaching for God and striving to have a close relationship with Him.
      I think Dr. Tuggy let his guard down at some point in his life and the devil deceived him.
      I don’t see Dr. White being intentionally condescending in any way. He’s passionate about what he knows and believes in his heart. In a perfect world, we all unite under Our Lord and spend eternity in Paradise 🙏✝️✡️
      Ask for God to reveal the truth to our hearts.

    White appeared less patient than he normally does, and he also let Tuggy get under his skin. White's eye-rolling, grimacing, head-shaking and shrugs looked very unprofessional. Truth speaks for itself. It doesn't need to be augmented by jr. high antics. In the past, it was Tuggy who engaged in such gymnastics, but for the most part, he was very controlled.
    White also mischaracterized Tuggy's opening as if it were a rebuttal. That was almost bizarre since White is well aware that rebuttal comes after the opening. Tuggy also wasn't arguing philosophy over scripture, as White mistakenly asserted. As much as I disagree with Tuggy, he presented a biblical argument. This was not White's best effort by a longshot, and I'm not a Unitarian.

    It always amazes me how one can read through the entire New Testament and not come to the conclusion that Jesus is God. Tuggy claims that the clear passages that attests to Christ’s deity are the “difficult” ones to interpret. He just happens to claim that about every single passage which clearly teaches the deity of Christ. This is a distortion of the truth. I can call easy-to-interpret passages “difficult” or “obscure” as well, but that does not make it so. Don’t let Tuggy fool you: The passages that point to Christ’s deity are unmistakably clear, and they are not obscure, as Tuggy would have you believe.
    If Jesus is not divine, then worshiping him would be idolatrous. Where in Scripture are we ever told to worship a created being? Answer: Nowhere. In fact, we are warned not to worship anything that is created (Deuteronomy 4). Scripture tells us to worship God and him ALONE. If Jesus is not God (as Unitarians claim), then he does not deserve to be worshiped, and worshiping him would be sinful. If Unitarianism is true, then a created being deserves to be worshiped on the same level-and in the same manner- as God the Father. This is patent idolatry! The only reason why Jesus is deserving of our worship is because he is God himself and not just a glorified man.

      Do you know what blew me away? When I learned that the Messiah in Old Testament prophecy is the son of YHWH. For instance, when YHWH promises David his descendant will reign in his stead, YHWH says, “I will be his father, and he will be my son.” (2 Samuel 7:14; 1 Chronicles 17:13). Another example is the suffering servant prophecy in Isaiah 53:6, “YHWH hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.” The servant is never confused with YHWH. Same thing in vs 10. Same thing in the famous messianic prophesy’s of Isaiah chapters 11, 48, 61. Same in Psalms 2 & 22. In other words, YHWH is always God the Father, and the Messiah always His son/servant. To me, this devastated the doctrine of the Trinity & modalism in one blow. The clarity is amazing.

Scholars all know that the short episode of the adulterous woman is most likely something that was added in at a later date. And this addition breaks the flow of the discourse between Jesus and the Jews. Even the trinitarian website "Got Questions" admits this. If you start all the way back in 6:68, you will find Peter giving us the correct answer for who Jesus is. Then Jesus' interaction with the Jews/Pharisees starts after. It continues through chapter 8. If you pay attention to the main topic of those two chapters, you will find that it's all about whether Jesus is the Christ or not. There are also multiple places in John where Jesus says the same greek words that translate into "I am he" when he confirms he is the Christ (like with the woman at the well). So it is perfectly plausible that Jesus is, once again, claiming to be the Christ in 8:58, just like he has done is other places in John. There's no reason to force the idea of Jesus claiming to be the "I am that I am"/"I am the existing one" from Exodus onto this text.

      yes. I commented on this on the original stream post, but it's now unlisted. So I'll repeat it here. The so called "early christians" that White cites are changing Philippians 2 to say what they want it to say. They say Jesus "took on human nature" while the scripture says Jesus took on the form of a servant. So who is it again that has to twist scripture to fit their theology? Certainly not Unitarians.

Bart Ehrman points out in "Misquoting Jesus" that is was more frequently the "orthodox" christians who altered the scriptures than their opponents.
      In any case, White's argument still doesn't prove that Jesus is YHWH. There were plenty of early christians who claimed Jesus was a second god underneath God almighty. Mainstream apologists don't want the laypeople knowing this history. They cherry pick quotes that say "Jesus is God" but hide all the quotes that say Jesus is still subordinate to God the Father.

    1:23:12 No writer of the Bible says that YHWH is the combination of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Therefore the "triune god" is NOT a "biblical revelation." White's statement is just false.
    1:25:20 White just admitted that "god the son's" incarnation made him not have all "god" features"/"powers". So why is it that 99% of trinitarians claim that Jesus proved he was "god" by doing miracles and having "divine knowledge"??? Contradictory statements/beliefs. "God the son" somehow "gave up being god" but at the same time still is "god." Nonsense. It doesn't even agree with other trinitarians.
    1:27:25 and here is the complete undermining of the "penal substitution" atonement theory. White admits that it was only the "human nature" that "died" on the cross. 99% of mainstream christians claim that the only way our sins could be "paid for" is if "God died." James White said that God did not die - Just like Michael Brown. Therefore 99% of christians must conclude that their sins have not been "paid for" since God did not actually die.

      ​@@Barefootseal_66 1) The translation and meaning of this verse is the most controversial out of everything in the NT (according to what I've heard). 2) you are making an equivocation between "in the form of God" and "God" (ontologically) 3) Because of #2, most trinitarians then make the equivocation between "took the form of a servant" and "took on human nature". That is what many trinitarians do. They must read in-between the lines or change the words of scripture. "becoming a man" or "taking on human nature" is totally not in the same category as "taking the form of a servant." The comparison between the former and later in the verse would be apples-to-oranges, as they say.
      4) I believe when it says "in the form of God" it is likely referring to either Jesus' lordship or his sinlesness or both. Jesus has been exalted by God to God's right hand and has been made Lord. He is ruling the world on behalf of God as he has been appointed. Instead of acting like the king of the world, he instead washed his disciples' feet. He also was sinless, therefore being like God. The pharisees acted like they were perfect and treated everyone else like peons. Instead of being like the Pharisees, Jesus didn't use his piousness to look down on others.

    You just have to get to a point where you can't argue with nonsense.
    As soon as someone accepts oxymorons and can't see the problem, you have to disengage. When people use terms like 'god-man' and don't see the scriptural problem, you have to let God deal with them. There is no logic, rationality or sensibility to what it is they believe. When someone doesn't play by the rules of any game, what do you do? You stop playing with them because they just cannot be honest.
    Many ex trinitarians come to a unitarian understanding because the trinity has far too many problems and it takes far too much mental gymnastics to believe. I argue it takes more intellectual work and capacity, and actually requires the the believer to have a higher RAM storage because you have to juggle so much rubbish at the same time.

    I am a Muslim and was just listening to a Unitarian vs. Trinitarian debate. I felt compelled to write when Dr. White mentioned Muslims and his debates with them. From a Muslim perspective, Jesus was a messenger of God who never feared nor asked his disciples to worship him. Instead, he always preached about the existence of one God.
    Furthermore, he explained to the Jewish youth who accused him of blasphemy for calling himself Son of God as they consider themselves children of God. He was emphasizing that his use of "Son of God" was metaphorical, just as they metaphorically called themselves children of God. Thus, we should not misinterpret his words to mean that he claimed divinity. Jesus never asked his deciples to worship him and now Christians are worshiping him, I wonder why?
    God is beyond human relationships like father, mother, or child, and exists without being created. Anything created by Him or anyone else cannot be God. If I have offended anyone with my words, I sincerely apologize. I do not intend to start any debates on this forum.

      @@Bibliotechno ok, but that verse does show a distinction between YAWEH and Jesus.
      So, not only does the Bible show distinction between Jesus and the Father, but also between Jesus and YAWEH.

    1:32:55 his attitude and tone of voice show everything. This is why I haven't liked James White since the first time I watched a few of his videos. He is completely insincere and arrogant. All he can do is use garbage arguments (which Dale refuted with trinitarian citations), and use lots of rhetoric to try to sway the audience. He doesn't care about the unitarian ways of interpreting the scripture. He's just another guy with his head in the sand that keeps telling his laypeople to avoid any unitarian content because it's "stupid/bogus/dangerous". Well guess what James White, it doesn't matter how much you and all of the other trinity doctrine salesmen try their best to suppress the truth. Anyone who actually seeks the truth will find it. I have tuned into the "core christianity" radio show a handful of times. They are being bombarded with questions and problems about the trinity. One caller said that she was unable to argue against a unitarian because they had such good biblical arguments. Adriel Sanchez simply went on a BS rant about how unitarians are cultists and cited the same BS "prooftexts" that most IGNORANT apologists use. I tried asking them a hard question about why Dr Fred Sanders said that the doctrine of the trinity wasn't revealed in the Bible. They never answered me. That's really telling...

    At 7:10 in the video, James White displays a slide of quotes from Hebrews 1. His slide says: “In v. 8 the writer identifies the Son as “God,” and he continues his demonstration of the superiority of the Son to the angelic creatures.”
    Then, Dr. White skips to verse 10. His slide continues: “V. 10 begins simply with kai, continuing the introduction to v. 8, “to the Son he says.” So, without question, v. 10-12 are purposefully applied to the Son, directly from Psalm 102”
    Dr. White, here, does not tell the whole truth. He jumps over verse 9 which clearly shows that the Son described as “God” in verse 8 has a God, the God of verse 9. The implication of the Son having a God means that the word, “God,” in verse 8 is a title or indicates that “God” is used to indicate the Son is a representative of the true God. Verse 9 also indicates that the superior God anoints the Son who is called “God.” The superior God would be Yahweh and Yahweh is separate and distinct from the Son in verse 8.
    At 56:51 in the video, Dr. White begins to paraphrase the reading of Revelation 5:4-8. Dr. White states that the Lamb when “he had taken the scroll the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb. ”
    Dr. White, again, is not telling the whole truth. He partially quotes verses 4, 5, and 6 and then jumps to verse 8. Left out is verse 7. “And He came and took the scroll out of the right hand of Him who sat on the throne.” White is ignoring the description of Jesus taking the scroll from the right hand of Yahweh. Because Yahweh is sitting on the throne and Jesus is standing before Him, taking the scroll from His hand, Jesus cannot be Yahweh. Jesus is clearly a separate and distinct being from Yahweh.
    At 1:35:51 of the video, Dr. White points to another time in John 8 where Jesus uses the “I am” statement. He rushes to insist that the Jews pick up stones to stone Jesus, insisting that Jesus is quoting Isaiah 43:10.
    Conveniently unreferenced is John 8:25. “Then they were saying to Him, ‘Who are You?’” Which indicates that they did not hear Jesus claiming to be God.
    Dr. White does not reference John 8:28 where Jesus again uses the “I am” language. Did the Jews pick up stones to stone Jesus, then? No. Why? Because they still did not hear Jesus claiming to be God. They repeat their question in John 8:53, “Whom do You make Yourself out to be?”
    The only time they picked up stones to kill Jesus was when he suggested that something more important than Abraham was among them in John 8:58.
    Periodically through out the debate, Dr. White seems to chastise Dr. Tuggy for using non-biblical language. Then at 1:36:48, Dr. White repeatedly uses the phrase, “God man” to describe Jesus. It is not appropriate for Dr. Tuggy to use language not found in the Bible, but when Dr. White uses non-biblical language, it is fine. I suggest a double standard in Dr. White.

      Your Hebrews verse 9 is irrelevant, so what you admit is that you do have God YHWH calling the Son God but it’s a God which to your understanding is more of a title Then you claim this shows that God is distinct from the son which means he can’t be YHWH. You just exactly described the trinity, the Writer of Hebrews described the trinity which you alluded to was modalism where they believe that God morphs into the son and the the spirit . But the writer of Hebrews purposefully made God and the Son separate. When you read verse 10 this is where Unitarians do gymnastics as God says to the Son you created the Heavens and the earth with your hands referring to pslams 102. One Unitarian said it’s talking about the New heaven and New earth . I just said can you just deal with the text and stop doing gymnastics.

    The Bile God has never been seen. There is ZERO description and ZERO physical proof for the God of the Bible. This is because God can only be described in one way, for He is One, Lord Krishna.
    “No one has ever seen God.” (John 4:12)
    “The Father is greater than I.” (John 14:28)
    The above means that the human authors of the Bible never saw God and so they assumed nobody has seen God. This is a very ignorant and foolish statement, because the human authors of the Bible have not seen what the 7 billion people living on the planet today have seen, nor have they seen what the zillions who have lived in the past saw.
    Many Christians realize that God must be a physical person and not just a concept, but there is ZERO evidence for the Bible God personality, Yahweh. So they make the Guru into a God. They say Jesus was God. Based on many statements made by Jesus himself, he was not God, and he also calls those who ignore the real God as evil doers. Thus based on Jesus, those who make Jesus God, are evil doers. Such followers of Jesus are called false disciples of Jesus.
    “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons and in your name perform many miracles?’ Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!’ (Matthew 7:21-23)
