Jesus Is NOT God – Or Is He?

About this episode

The episode examines the claim that Jesus is not God, analyzing it through Scripture and early Christian beliefs.

Jesus is NOT God…or is He? In this episode, I walk through the claim that "Jesus is NOT God" and treat it like a case file—testing it against Scripture, the beliefs of the earliest Christians, and the logical consequences if this claim were actually true. We'll look at key passages often used to deny Jesus' deity, examine what the first followers of Jesus really believed about Him, and ask what happens to the gospel, salvation, and worship if Jesus is only a good teacher and not God in the flesh. If this conversation is helpful, please subscribe to the podcast and leave a rating and review —it really helps more people discover this content and think more carefully about what they believe and why.
