For anyone who can't or doesn't want to watch it because of the length...Here are my notes that you can look through at your leisure. The first paragraph is out of order from video, but I used it as an introduction. They started to video with talking about how God spoke with Moses on Mt Sinai and how that sort of foreshadowed the Tabernacle where God would then dwell.
We have the foundation for the plurality of God. We have the Bible
mentioning the Spirit of God, the glory of God, the Messenger (Angel)
of God. We also have the following:
Ex 40:34 God's glory filled the Tabernacle
Lev 1:1 God called to Moses from the tent of meeting
Deut 26:15 God dwells in heaven.
The Torah teaches there is an earthly temple and a heavenly temple
and God dwells in them both. He puts on cloth (the Tabernacle) and
dwells with His people while He also dwells in heaven without
ceasing to be God. It doesn't change His oneness.
Ex 3:2 The Angel (Messenger) of the Lord in the burning bush
Ex 3:4 states that it is God speaking from the bush
1 Kings 8 God moved into the Temple, but Solomon asks for Him
to hear from heaven.
Is God alone at Creation? Gen 1:26 God is going to create “man in our
image”. Angels cannot create; only God is Creator. Gen 1:1-2 shows
that God and the Spirit of God are present at Creation. Ps 33:6 states
that God creates through His Word. (John 1:1, 14 says Jesus is the Word)
Does the Old Testament teach that Messiah is God? Daniel chapters 1-6
are the narrative part of Daniel. Daniel and his friends are constantly
pressured to worship things that are not God. The word used was reserved
to speak of worship of a deity. Daniel 7:13-14 tells of the Son of Man
coming from heaven and receiving a kingdom and worship from all
peoples. The Son of Man had to be God to receive this worship. Jesus
claims this title for Himself. Claiming to be the Messiah was not why
the religious leaders wanted to stone Him; it was for claiming to be God.
Are there New Testament verses that say Jesus is God. John 1:1, 14
Are there verses in the New Testament that attribute to Jesus actions,
statements or attributes that belong only to God (as seen in the OT)?
The story of Jonah and of Jesus stilling the storm in Mark 4:34-41
The ability to calm storms is throughout the OT as something only
God can do.
Can someone call himself a Christian and deny the deity of Jesus?
Romans 10:8-13 you must confess that Jesus is Lord. Verse 13 states
that all who call of the name of the Lord will be saved. This is YHVH
and is a quote form Joel 2:32. Peter also attributes this verse to Jesus in
his first sermon in Acts 2:21
But what of verses like Col 1:15 and John 14:8 which seem to say Jesus
is not equal to God? The word firstborn is a status, a title. Ishmael was
not Abraham's first born because God chose Isaac as being the firstborn.
Ps 89:27 establishes the Messiah as firstborn. John 14:22-14 Greater in
what sense? You have to qualify it. John 14:28 means they are equal but
have different roles, not different status.
