In this episode theologian Dr. Randal Rauser interviews me for his YouTube channel (original video below), asking good and tough questions. He inquires about my theological views and how I came to them, and why I think Christians who accept the authority of the New Testament should re-examine their assumptions about traditional triune-God speculations. We discuss the true humanity of Jesus, his being called “God” in a few New Testament passages, common arguments that some Trinity theory is implied by Scripture, the pattern of worship we see in the New Testament, how becoming unitarian in my theology has impacted my own spiritual life, Jesus’ faith in God, the concept of heresy, saving faith, ongoing reformation, historical unitarian Christians, “mystery” defenses of problematic dogmas, the implosion of 19th c. American unitarianism, and a providential argument that some sort of Trinity theory must be true.
