121) Tim Mackie (The Bible Project), Thoughts on the Trinity, a Response

Dr. Tim Mackie appeared on the Transfiguration Podcast, describing some of his recent thoughts about the Trinity. In this video/podcast I review and point out some errors in Dr. Mackie’s claims.   0:00 Intro: Dr. Mackie’s search: How are Trinitarian expressions of God derived from the Bible?   02:20 Definition: What is the Trinity. Confusion between God as the Father alone, Trinitarianism, and Modalism. How many persons/selves is God?   08:03 Partial Knowledge. “Our knowledge of God will always be partial. The Trinity is a mystery.”   14:27 Progressive Revelation “Our knowledge of how many persons God is, was revealed progressively.”   24:00 Agency: the agent (one sent) of the sender is considered to legally be the presence of the sender.   26:14 How and When was the Trinity revealed? A couple New Testament references that supposedly hint that “Jesus is God”. Do Jesus’ miracles prove Jesus is literally God?   37:00 Any common ground between One-God-the-Father believers, and Trinitarians?  Different narratives.   40:41 A thank you and challenge to Dr. Mackie.   Resources: Transfigured Interview: Tim Mackie - The Trinity, Hermeneutics & Doctrinal Development https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lyCqhMDudYU&t=1561s   Is the Trinity in the Bible?
