podcast 340 – Does the New Testament teach that Jesus is truly divine? – Loke vs. Tuggy – Part 2

In this final portion of our debate, we engage in about 40 minutes of free-flowing discussion, followed by our closing statements.

Our topic is New Testament teaching, but I can’t resist raising what look to me like some serious problems for Dr. Loke’s “kryptic” theory of the incarnation, on which the Son’s divine omniscience is in his “pre-conscious” mind, not being directly accessible to him. Among other problems, surely perfection in knowledge requires more than omniscience, and some divine attributes are not mental.

Now that you’ve heard the whole debate, which side made the stronger case, and why?

After you hear our exchange on the famous “my Lord and my God” text, you can check out the video below from the Unitarian Christian Alliance YouTube channel. I think it makes points which complement my all-too-brief remarks here.
