Episode notes
Paul Reframes Divine Identity
- Paul recasts Israel's Shema to include Jesus, linking divine identity to both Father and Son.
- New Testament usage often pairs theos (God) with Father and kurios (Lord) with the Son to assert shared divinity.
Three Signals Of Christ's Divinity
- Arguments for Jesus' divinity cluster ascribed divine titles, reception of worship, and performance of divine works.
- John and Pauline texts (e.g., "I am", John 1, Thomas' confession) supply key attestations.
Holy Spirit Shown Divine And Personal
- The Spirit is depicted as divine from Genesis onward and shows personal attributes in the New Testament.
- Describing the Spirit as a 'force' fails where Scripture uses personal verbs like being grieved.
