Since 2025 marks the 1700th anniversary of the Council of Nicaea, which took place in 325 AD, many have begun to reflect on its significance and lasting legacy. Unfortunately, several assertions commonly tossed around about what really took place at Nicaea are simply untrue. This episode examines facts and fiction surrounding the noteworthy church council of the year 325 to help listeners become more well-informed about this key historical event.  Visit Amazon to buy your copy of my book Wisdom Christology in the Gospel of John: https://a.co/d/6nFEbZg             Please consider supporting this Podcast and future projects by donating at: https://www.paypal.me/10mintruthtalks             To view the notes from this episode please click the link below: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1MhwFqNa2EfrTZP3tEKSXCXlYIpkUaHaDTmqa0ZnBu2o/edit?usp=sharing        Check out some of my videos on YouTube at: https://www.youtube.com/@BiblicalUnitarianPodcast             Follow us on Twitter at: https://twitter.com/OneGodPodcast 

Partitive Exegesis is the interpretive strategy of reading into the texts of Scripture the doctrine of Christ's Two Natures, attributing to some things Jesus did as pertaining to his human nature and other things to Jesus' divine nature. This week's episode shows how key figures in the fourth and fifth centuries employed partitive exegesis in their understanding of Christology. We also examine the New Testament to demonstrate why partitive exegesis distorts the Bible's portrayal of Jesus rather than responsibly explaining its original meaning.  Visit Amazon to buy your copy of my book Wisdom Christology in the Gospel of John: https://a.co/d/6nFEbZg            Please consider supporting this Podcast and future projects by donating at: https://www.paypal.me/10mintruthtalks            To view the notes from this episode please click the link below: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1fQ2sfK8P-e1bnN2hrFvFmSYYNIEImYTG7t9maNZmLZg/edit?usp=sharing      Check out some of my videos on YouTube at: https://www.youtube.com/@BiblicalUnitarianPodcast            Follow us on Twitter at: https://twitter.com/OneGodPodcast   

1 John 5:20 is one of the handful of grammatically ambiguous passages in the New Testament that either calls Jesus "God" (theos) or distinguishes Jesus from God. This week's episode examines the passage as neutrally and fairly as possible to determine whether Jesus is called "the true God and eternal life." 1 John 5:20 will be set in the broader context of the entire book and the context of Johannine literature as a whole before deciding on the key theological matter.

While Jews and Unitarian Christians have traditionally argued from Deut 6:4 that God is only one person, several Trinitarian apologists and internet theologians have insisted that "echad" (the Hebrew word for "one") refers to a compound unity of multiple persons. This episode examines the cardinal Hebrew number one ("echad") to determine if it is a word possessing the meaning of compound unity. After digging deep into the lexicons and dictionaries, we listen to the best arguments put forth by Trinitarians in favor of "echad" referring to a plurality of subjects. The results are, let's say, less than compelling for the argument in favor of compound unity.    Visit Amazon to buy your copy of my book Wisdom Christology in the Gospel of John: https://a.co/d/6nFEbZg          Please consider supporting this Podcast and future projects by donating at: https://www.paypal.me/10mintruthtalks          To view the notes from this episode please click the link below: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1PyvmM_H6olwYVfnAXlcoO0oqFISibk2GnGb69QivuBg/edit?usp=sharing    Check out some of my videos on YouTube at: https://www.youtube.com/@BiblicalUnitarianPodcast          Follow us on Twitter at: https://twitter.com/OneGodPodcast
