Does Jesus Have to Be God to Pay for Sin? [54:30]
by Alex Hall rated at 2.5 (9 votes so far)
Did Jesus need to be God in order to pay for the sins of the world? Could he be a 'mere' man and still atone for all? Alex Hall wrestles with these questions from a biblical perspective in an effort to free us from traditional dogma and bring us closer to the heart of New Testament Christianity and the atonement theology of the first century Christians.

Debate: Is God One or Three in One?
by Sean Finnegan vs. Russ Dizdar [143:07]
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
