Unitarianism? How is God One?

History of Early Christianity

The Continuing Church of God is pleased to announce this sermon from its ContinuingCOG channel:

1:20:17

Does the one God consist of more than one Person? What do we see in the Book of Genesis? Is Elohiym some type of a uniplural noun? Is God some type of family? What does the Bible teach? What did Jesus, the apostles, and their early followers teach? What can we learn from the oldest preserved Christian sermon outside of the New Testament? What did Ignatius, Polycarp, Justin Martyr, Melito, Irenaeus, Origin, Heraclides, Lucian, and Hippolytus teach? Is Jesus another name for the archangel Michael? What about Isaiah 45:22? Was William Bousset right about early Christology? What are semi-arians? Was binitarianism a late 20th century creation? What did most attendees at the Council of Nicea (325 A.D.) teach? Will the first resurrection be limited to unitarians? Are married couples ‘one’ in God’s sight? Can two be one according to scripture? What have Church of God leaders taught? Dr. Thiel addresses these issues and more.
