In this episode, my final thoughts on my recent debate with apologist Anthony Rogers about whether Mark teaches that Jesus is the one true God (part 1, part 2). Topics include:
- the fulfillment fallacy
- how New Testament authors use the Old Testament
- a serious misreading of Psalm 110 which confuses together the two characters
- the idea of multiple meanings and how this relates to divine inspiration
- the original meanings and contexts of Psalm 45 and Psalm 2
- Matthew 2:15 as a fulfillment of Hosea 11:1
- Mark’s and Luke’s portrayals of Jesus as limited in knowledge and Rogers’s attempts to re-interpret these passages so as to preserve or even imply Jesus’s omniscience
- what many apologists don’t understand about early Christian theologies and John 1
- Irenaeus‘s view that Jesus knew less than God
- how Rogers anachronistically misunderstands what Novatian teaches about Jesus and God
- Rogers’s “I know Greek!” rhetoric, and what many people don’t know about how language skills relate to interpretive disputes
