The Biblical Unitarian Podcast

Within the Bible, the God of Israel shares his unique privileges, prerogatives, titles, name, and even his glory with his human agents. Some readers of Isaiah, however, are convinced that Yahweh never shares his glory with anyone at all. In this week’s episode, we will explore how the God of Israel glorifies his human agents, including Jesus Christ.

Drawing on comments from his opponents, this episode reconstructs what Theodotus believed about God and Jesus Christ. It turns out Theodotus was a biblical unitarian.

This week’s episode demonstrates how God shares his divine name (YHWH) with his authorized agents. These agents include heavenly angelic beings, the human Messiah, and even the physical city of Jerusalem. We also explore how other Jewish texts express their acceptance and agreement with the principle of agency. Jesus can be called Yahweh in his role as Yahweh's agent, without being identified as Yahweh himself.

This episode explores the development of Christology, beginning with the subordinate human Messiah taught by the New Testament authors and culminating in the coequal second member of the Trinity, who has two natures (from the fifth century). The Chalcedonian creed of 451 AD is not the doctrine of God and Christ presented by the biblical authors.
