Only One God [33:16]
by Paul Rankin rated at 1.6 (6 votes so far)
Orthodoxy tells us that we have to believe a "trinity" to be Christians. But why isn't this triune teaching obvious anywhere in scripture? Who or what did Jesus and his fellow Jews worship? In today's message, you may be surprised to find the simple the truth when we let scripture speak for itself.

Debate: Is God One or Three in One?

rated at 3.3 (out of 18 votes)
Sean Finnegan and Russ Dizdar participate in a debate over the question of who God is. Mr. Finnegan took the affirmative position that the Father is the only true God (cf. Jn 17.3) and Mr. Dizdar, took the traditional position that God is three persons in one essence--the Trinity. The tone was very civil and both sides were able to present their positions.
Unfortunately, the moderator, GeorgeAnn Hughes (founder of The Byte Show) was not able to participate very much because she was having some trouble with her voice. As a result, the participants had to keep track of their own time and took turns presenting their cases. The format of the debate was as follows:
Opening Statements
20 minutes -- Sean Finnegan
20 minutes -- Russ Dizdar
Rebuttals
15 minutes -- Sean Finnegan
15 minutes -- Russ Dizdar
