In this episode I interact with some arguments from the interesting blog post “3 Syllogistic Arguments For Jesus’ Deity” by apologist Evan Minton (also posted here). I evaluate the arguments according to whether or not they are valid (i.e. whether the premises really imply the conclusion) and sound (i.e. valid and the premises are each true). For m…

In this episode I reflect on the debate of episodes 317 and 318. Topics include: why I was willing to debate a Jesus-is-God apologist like Rogers Rogers’s post-debate statements that I think that all trinitarians are blasphemers, and that I regard them with “immense hatred.” what I meant by referring to Rogers’s views as “fringe” the idea that we c…

In this episode apologist Anthony Rogers lays out his case that the gospel according to Mark asserts Jesus to be the one true God. Not only does it call Jesus “the Lord,” it presents Jesus as doing miracles which sort of resemble some of the miracles involved in the famous Old Testament Exodus from Egypt. Thus, any reader should know that this is Y…

In this episode I review this introductory Trinity book by Dr. James Papandrea. As with the previous episode in this series, I’ll ask how many of these fundamental questions the book clearly answers: What is “the doctrine of the Trinity”?
