Subject: The ransom - God or man? |
Bible Note: Was part of the support for the trinity doctrine in the third and fourth century A.D. related to the necessity that Jesus be God in order to redeem mankind? If so, couldn't this be a case of circular referencing? Attempts to support that Jesus is God are not what is being studied here. Do the Scriptures support the idea that the ransom "had" to be God? I can find no basis for this teaching. Rather the evidence seems to speak loudly for another Adam, not God. |
