00:18 "It Is Written Canada." Today we are going to continue 00:22 in this series on understanding the oneness of God, yet His 00:27 three distinct persons. Again joining me to help us understand this subject more 00:32 fully, I want to welcome Dr. John Peckham. Dr. Peckham, thank you so much 00:37 for being here again today. >> A pleasure to be with you, Chris. 00:40 >> Dr. Peckham, for those that may be watching for the first time, is a professor at the 00:45 Theological Seminary at Andrews University. He's the author of many books. 00:50 You can go to Amazon and explore the various books he has available. 00:55 Dr. Peckham, we have covered now looking at this oneness of God, yet the three persons of God. 01:03 We've seen that the Bible clearly articulates that oneness and plurality, both in the 01:10 Old Testament and into the New Testament. Now, where we left off in the 01:15 last show is, I asked you the question -- And I'm going to ask it to you again. 01:20 We'll review a little bit of what we ended with last time and then jump in to our topic today. 01:25 But here's the thing -- The Scripture is clear -- Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. 01:33 But here's the question -- how do we know that the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit 01:39 are all divine beings and all distinct divine beings? >> That's right. 01:48 So, we need to unpack that from a number of texts that teach 01:51 that the Father is God, the Son is God, and the Holy Spirit is 01:54 God. And we're going specifically to talk about the divinity of 01:58 Christ in our program today... >> Okay. >> ...in a little bit more 02:01 detail and that these are three distinct persons. Now, we saw in Matthew 3:16 -- 02:08 and we'll go there now again -- Matthew 3:16, this text about the baptism of Jesus. 02:14 In Matthew 3:16, it says, "When he had been baptized, Jesus came up immediately from the water. 02:20 And behold, the heavens were opened to him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending on him 02:26 like a dove and alighting upon Him." So, you have the Spirit and the 02:30 Son there, and then in verse 17, "And suddenly a voice came from Heaven saying, "This is my 02:36 beloved Son, in whom I am well-pleased." So, the Father, the Son, and the 02:41 Spirit are there. They're all acting distinctly. >> Yes. 02:45 >> And this is one of the texts that suggests that God is not only one, but also three 02:52 distinct persons. This is contrary to one of the misunderstandings that has come 02:57 to be known by the name of modalism. Modalism is a misunderstanding 03:03 of the relationship between the Father, Son, and the Spirit, and God, that believes that God is 03:10 just one person who manifests Himself in different modes, kind of like if you were to put 03:16 a mask on and then put another mask on and then put another mask on, that God revealed 03:22 Himself as the Father and then at another time he was the Son, at least in some forms of 03:26 modalism, and then He turns Himself into another mode, which is the Spirit. 03:31 Here, though, we see all three persons of the one God at the same time in the same place 03:38 doing three different things. Now, the Spirit is descending on him like a dove. 03:43 >> Yes. >> The Son is being baptized, and the Father is speaking, 03:47 "This is my beloved Son." So, that is contrary to modalism. 03:51 So, that's -- The simplest way to understand it is saying that God is one, but not really 03:57 three. >> And so what we see here, though, from the text clearly, 04:01 is that, with the activity, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit all at the same time, all as 04:09 three distinct entities, that while God is one, there are those three persons. 04:15 And we also looked at, at the end of the life of Jesus, Jesus is praying in the garden of 04:21 Gethsemane. >> Yes. >> And he's praying to the 04:25 Father. >> Yes. >> And so once again we are 04:28 seeing clearly that there are these distinct persons in the context... 04:35 >> Yes. >> ...of that oneness. >> That's right. 04:38 >> What other texts can we look at to talk about that? >> Well, on the other hand, we 04:42 have another misunderstanding, which is the opposite error. So, if modalism is the error of 04:46 saying God is one, but not really three, the opposite error is sometimes called tritheism... 04:51 >> Okay. >> ...that God is three, but He's not really one. 04:54 So, there's three persons that are not united into one being who is God. 04:59 That's tritheism. This can be responded to by some texts that we've already seen in 05:04 previous programs. One we'll go to now is Matthew 28, Matthew 28:19, 05:08 again, the Great Commission. >> Okay. >> And another that we could 05:12 mention is all those texts on the oneness of God, Deuteronomy 6:4, "The Lord our 05:16 God, the Lord is one." So, if God is one, He can't be three and not one. 05:22 If the baptism is true, that there's the Father, Spirit, and Son, and those are all divine 05:27 persons, then He can't be one and not three. So, Matthew 28:19, we have, 05:32 again, the Great Commission, where Jesus teaches us to, "Go therefore and make disciples 05:38 of all the nations, baptizing them in the name --" and, again, the name is singular, the word 05:43 for "name" there is singular -- >> Yes. >> "The name of the Father and 05:47 of the Son and of the Holy Spirit." So, we can't say God is one and 05:51 not three because the three distinct persons are revealed. We can't say God is three and 05:56 not one because the Bible clearly teaches that there is one and only one God. 06:01 >> Mm-hmm. >> A third misunderstanding, which has caused a lot of 06:04 problems in the history of Christianity and still sometimes today is a misunderstanding or a 06:09 heresy called Arianism. Arianism is named after a person by the name of 06:16 Arius of Alexandria, a 4th-century individual who taught that Jesus, who we 06:23 believe is the second person of the Trinity, wasn't fully God. He was like God. 06:29 In fact, he was a creation of God. So, at sometime in the past, 06:34 Arius taught, Jesus, or the second person, was created by the Father. 06:40 Now, he believed this for a number of reasons. One was that he didn't think 06:43 anyone but the Father could really be God. So, he challenged the idea that 06:49 Jesus was fully God and that Jesus was pre-existent and that Jesus was an uncreated being or 06:55 uncreated God. That's the heresy of Arianism. >> So, we're gonna talk about 07:02 that in just a moment. We're gonna get right into understanding Jesus as fully 07:07 divine. But let me just ask this fundamental question. 07:12 So, we're seeing that the Bible teaches that God is one in three persons. 07:18 But fundamentally, that sounds like a contradiction. And, frankly, you know, when I 07:23 was studying earlier in life, before the Lord called me to be a pastor, I was gonna be a math 07:29 teacher. >> Mm-hmm. >> And so, Dr. Peckham, 07:32 fundamentally, what I'm gonna say here is, not only does it seem like a contradiction, but 07:36 it seems like bad math. >> Yeah. >> So, what do we do with this? 07:38 >> Yeah. It seems like a contradiction if you think that when we say God 07:44 is one God and three persons that we mean that God is one and that God is three in the same 07:49 sense. Now, first of all, we can just show -- It's not a math problem, 07:54 right? We're not saying, "One plus one plus one equals one." 07:58 Right? You could just as easily say, "Infinity plus infinity plus 08:02 infinity equals...infinity," right? So, it's not really a math 08:07 problem, and it would be a contradiction if we were saying, "God is one in the same way that 08:13 God is three." But it's not a contradiction to say that one being is also three 08:19 in some other respect. And that's what we're saying about the Trinity -- that God is 08:25 one and He is also three in a way that doesn't contradict. Now, there's a number of 08:30 analogies that people use to describe things we already realize are three in one way and 08:36 one in another way at the same time. I'm gonna mention just one of 08:41 them here, but I need to preface it by saying that there is no analogy of the Trinity that is 08:46 actually effective to really understand what the Trinity is like. 08:50 All analogies break down, and when it comes to the Trinity, they break down very quickly. 08:54 >> Yes. >> So, when I bring up this analogy, I'm not saying, "The 08:56 Trinity is like this," in any full way, not even close to fully. 09:02 All I'm using this analogy to show is that you already know of something that is one in one 09:08 sense and three in another sense, without any contradiction. 09:11 I'm not saying that God is one and three in the same way that what I'm gonna refer to as the 09:16 three-leaf clover is one and three. But there's one clover and 09:23 three leaves in a three-leaf clover, right? >> Yes. 09:26 >> Is that a contradiction? >> No. >> No. 09:29 So, we already know of things that can be three in one respect, having three leaves, 09:33 and one in another respect, having one clover. Again, I'm not suggesting that 09:36 God is three and one in that way. I'm just showing you it's not a 09:39 contradiction on the face of it. >> Yes. >> How can God be one and three 09:43 persons? We don't understand fully, but we can see that is not a 09:47 contradiction. Now, one of the reasons why people think it is a 09:50 contradiction is because they often think of persons -- when they hear the word "persons," 09:54 they think of human persons. And it's true that Jesus became a human. 09:58 >> Yes. >> But he was not always a human. 10:01 >> Yes. >> When we say "persons" with regard to God, we don't mean 10:04 human persons. We don't even mean persons that are divided by physicality, even 10:07 though Jesus became a physical person. We mean one who has 10:11 self-consciousness -- "I am a person" -- and we saw that already in Gethsemane, the 10:15 Father speaking to the Son as themself and the Son speaks to themself -- one that has a 10:20 faculty of reason... >> Yes. >> ...and has a will. 10:22 >> Yes. >> And the persons of the Trinity all have 10:26 self-consciousness. The Son knows himself as the Son, the Father knows Himself as 10:30 the Father, and the Spirit knows himself as the Spirit. They all have reason, and they 10:35 all have will, as we will see in texts that come later. But we don't mean by this three 10:40 humanoid entities. >> Yes. >> And there must be a way that 10:44 we don't fully understand in which God can transcend the physical limitations that make 10:48 you and I two different beings, not just two different persons -- we're two different 10:52 beings... >> Correct. >> ...that God transcends in a 10:55 way we don't fully understand. But the fact that we don't understand it doesn't make it a 10:59 contradiction. There is nothing about the oneness of God that contradicts 11:02 the threeness of God, unless you try to say God is one and three in the same way. 11:06 >> Yes. And, you know, this lack of understanding -- and I say what 11:12 I'm about to say cautiously -- that is, where faith comes in -- And to a certain degree, there 11:17 are things in everyday life. I am not an auto mechanic. >> Mm-hmm. 11:22 >> What do I know about my car? This is what I know -- when I turn the key or when I push the 11:26 button... >> Right. >> ...the car should start. 11:29 >> Yes. >> I don't understand all the ins and outs of an 11:32 internal-combustion engine. >> Yes. >> You know, in fact, in the 11:37 history of my life, when I've tried to tune up my car, usually I tune out my car and I have to 11:41 take it to a mechanic anyways. But just the fact that I don't understand it doesn't make it 11:49 not a reality... >> That's right. >> In the same way, 11:52 electricity -- I'm not an electrician, but I know when I flip the switch, the lights 11:57 come on. >> Right. >> And in the same way, the 12:01 Bible is clear -- God is one, yet three distinct persons. How those persons are manifest 12:09 we don't really understand. We know that Jesus was manifest in the flesh, but we also 12:15 know -- and we're gonna have a whole show on the Holy Spirit -- we also know that the 12:19 Holy Spirit is everywhere at the same time. >> Right. 12:24 >> It's going to be, at its very foundation, impossible for me to understand that... 12:30 >> That's right. >> ...because that is not an attribute that I have or anyone 12:33 I know has... >> That's right. >> ...other than the 12:36 Holy Spirit. >> That's right. >> Excuse me. The Holy Spirit. 12:38 >> And the key is, we're not asserting anything that's actually contradictory. 12:41 We're asserting something that just transcends our understanding. 12:44 >> That's correct. >> And God's omnipresence, being everywhere at the same 12:47 time, is a perfect example because that, again, shows that he transcends the physical 12:51 limitations that divide you and I. If God can be everywhere at 12:54 once, there should be no problem in conceiving of the fact that He can be one being who is three 13:00 persons, without saying we understand fully. >> There's no contradiction in 13:05 saying that. >> So, now let's come back to -- You talked about Arius and the 13:11 heresy of Arianism... >> Mm-hmm. >> ...and this idea that Jesus 13:17 is a created being. >> Yes. >> So, what do we know? 13:23 And, most importantly, what does the Bible teach us about the divinity of Christ? 13:29 Is Jesus Christ truly a divine being and one of the persons of the Godhead? 13:38 >> Yes. Let's go to John 1, John chapter 1 to start. 13:43 And as we're going there, it's not that Arius didn't have a Bible, either, but Arius thought 13:49 that there couldn't be any plurality in God because he had accepted a view of God that came 13:55 from particular streams of Greek philosophy, where it was a contradiction if God was plural. 14:00 But in the Bible, there is no such contradiction. And the Bible explicitly refutes 14:05 Arianism, the view that Christ was created. John 1:1-3. 14:12 >> And just before you were going to read that text, you said something that I think we 14:16 need to let the viewer really let it sink in. Throughout the history of 14:19 Christianity, there have actually been times where, instead of founding our belief 14:25 on the Word of God, we have actually inherited... >> Mm-hmm. 14:28 >> ...from Greek philosophy influences... >> Yes. 14:31 >> ...that have corrupted our thinking and corrupted our beliefs. 14:35 And it's interesting that you say that about Arius. What we're going to do and as we 14:40 understand the divinity of Christ is we are going to get into the Word. 14:44 The answer to all questions is found in the Word. We must base our belief not on 14:49 what our dad taught us or what we read in a book... >> That's right. 14:52 >> ...but what we read in the book... >> Mm-hmm. 14:55 >> ...the Bible. So, here in John 1, let's talk about this divinity of Christ. 14:59 What are we going to read? >> John 1:1-3 -- "In the beginning was the Word, and the 15:06 Word was with God, and the Word was God." And if we keep reading in 15:12 John 1, the Word is Jesus. >> That's right. >> Okay? 15:14 So, "In the beginning was the Word." He's already there in the 15:18 beginning. "The Word was with God" -- so, there's an "in addition" to God. 15:24 And yet he was God. >> Yes. >> Then verse 2 -- "He was in 15:29 the beginning with God." In case we missed in the first time, in the beginning, right? 15:34 There's no before Him. Verse 3 -- "All things were made through Him." 15:38 How many things? >> All things. >> All things, which means He 15:41 Himself couldn't be made. >> That's correct. >> If all things were made 15:43 through Him, He couldn't be a being who was made. >> That's right. 15:46 >> "All beings were made through Him," that is, through Jesus, "and without him, nothing was 15:51 made that was made." Again, He can't be a being that was made because nothing was 15:55 made that was made without Him. So, John 1:1-3 explicitly denies Arianism. 16:00 In fact, it explicitly denies that there was a time before there was the Son. 16:06 The Son has always existed. That's not the only text that teaches that, but that's one of 16:11 the major texts that just teaches it explicitly. >> And it's interesting. 16:14 The next phrase -- and we don't need to go through all of verse 4 -- in that phrase, you 16:18 have, "In Him was life." >> Yes. >> And what we need to 16:22 understand when we talk about this is that Jesus as a created being is, frankly, impossible 16:29 because in Him was life. >> Yes. >> Jesus is not created. 16:36 Jesus, rather, is a -- and is the -- creator. >> That's right. 16:40 >> What else -- What other verses can we go to, to help us understand the divinity of 16:46 Jesus Christ? >> So, staying in John, we can turn over to John chapter 8. 16:49 John chapter 8 tells us minimally that Jesus wasn't just a regular human like us. 16:57 John 8:23 -- "He said to them, 'You are from beneath. I am from above. 17:02 You are of this world. I am not of this world.'" And then in the very same 17:09 chapter, in verse 58, Jesus is teaching them things, and the leaders that are trying to 17:17 challenge him ask him in verse 57, "'You are not yet 50 years old, and have you seen 17:23 Abraham?'" And then Jesus says in verse 58, "'Most assuredly I say to you, 17:28 before Abraham was, I am'"... >> Yes. >> ...which is saying at least 17:33 two things. He existed before Abraham. >> That's right. 17:36 >> He didn't come into existence at the incarnation -- that is, when he was born of Mary. 17:40 >> That's right. >> He existed before that. And he used this phrase "I am," 17:44 which a student of Scripture will recognize is an allusion or a reference to what Yahweh calls 17:49 Himself, what God calls Himself in Exodus 3, when he appears to Moses in the burning bush -- 17:54 >> Yes. >> "I am who I am." That's right. 17:56 >> And they understood that's what he was saying because what happens next? 18:00 Verse 59 -- "Then they took up stones to throw at him." Why do they want to stone him? 18:05 Because they know what he is claiming. >> That's right. 18:08 >> He is claiming to be the "I am," to be before Abraham. >> That's right. 18:11 And it's interesting, that phrase there, the Greek phrase "Ego eimi." 18:14 Jesus is saying, "I am the self-existent one"... >> That's right. 18:19 >> ...which means there is no dependence upon an outside entity for his life. 18:26 For you, for me, we are completely dependant upon God. We're completely dependent on 18:32 God for life. Jesus is the self-existent one. What else can we say about the 18:39 divinity of Jesus Christ? >> Turn over to the very next chapter. 18:44 In John 9, John 9:38 -- And let me ask you a question before we read the verse. 18:52 If I were to worship you, would that be okay? >> That would not be okay. 18:55 >> Why? >> Because I'm undeserving of worship because I am not a 19:00 creator, I have not made anything, I am not a divine being. 19:04 >> 'Cause only God is worthy of worship. In fact, in Revelation, which is 19:07 also believed to be written by the same person who wrote the Gospel of John... 19:09 >> That's right. >> ...John is so overtaken by one of the mere angels that he 19:13 falls to his knees, and the angel says, "Get up." >> "Don't worship me." 19:17 >> "Don't worship me. I'm not God." >> That's right. 19:19 >> But look what happens in John 9:38. And this isn't the only place 19:23 where Jesus is worshiped. "Then he said, 'Lord, I believe,' and he... 19:28 >> "Worshiped him." >> "...worshiped him." And Jesus didn't say, "No, no, 19:31 get up," which he should have said if he wasn't really God. >> That's right. 19:34 >> But he was really God 'cause God alone is worthy of worship. We turn over to John chapter 20. 19:41 John chapter 20. 19:48 >> And as we're turning to John 20, it's also interesting -- in Revelation 19:52 4 and 5, there is the lamb. Jesus comes on the scene and he's worshiped and he's 19:59 worshiped basically for two distinct reasons. He's worshiped because he 20:03 made -- he's the creator -- and he's worshiped because he redeemed. 20:08 >> That's right. >> And so we need to understand that Jesus would not have 20:12 received worship, would not have accepted worship if he was just merely a man. 20:17 >> It would have been blasphemous for him to do so. >> Absolutely. 20:20 >> John 20:28 -- now, this is this wonderful story -- Poor Thomas -- this wonderful 20:25 story that is often referred to as the narrative of doubting Thomas. 20:28 >> Yes. >> I don't know if he's ever going to live that down, even in 20:31 Heaven. >> [ Laughs ] >> But you remember the story 20:33 where Thomas doubted that Jesus has resurrected. >> That's right. 20:36 >> And Jesus appears to him, and he shows him his wounds and lets him even touch him. 20:41 And after this appearance, "Thomas answered --" this is John 20:28 -- "And Thomas 20:45 answered and said to him, 'My Lord and my God.'" >> Mm-hmm. 20:51 >> Said directly to Jesus. And Jesus accepts this. This is a direct statement that 20:57 Jesus is God. >> What else can we say then? Because there are certainly some 21:04 people that believe that Jesus had a beginning. >> Yes. 21:07 >> How do we know that he wasn't created a very long time ago? >> Yes. 21:11 Well, let's go to some text -- Colossians 1. Colossians 1, and then we're 21:17 gonna go to Colossians 2. And when we put these texts together, we see that he 21:20 couldn't have been created. In fact, we've already seen that he couldn't have come into being 21:25 a very long time ago 'cause we already just saw in John 1 that he was already in the 21:29 beginning -- right? -- in the beginning was God. Now, Colossians 1 has some 21:35 language of Christ as firstborn. And we're not gonna be able to get into that language this 21:42 time, but in a future program, we're going to explain that the language of firstborn is not 21:46 referring to a literal birth or being the firstborn in a family. It's a title of status which was 21:53 applied to the Messiah. >> Yes. >> And that's what's happening 21:55 in this verse, and I'll show you why that's the case in a future program. 21:58 >> Sounds good. >> But Colossians 1, beginning in verse 15, it says, "He is the 22:03 image of the invisible God..." >> Yes. >> "...the firstborn," or the 22:07 one who has the birthright as the Messiah, "over all creation, for by him all things were 22:13 created that are in Heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or 22:18 dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through 22:23 him and for him, and he is before all things"... >> Yes. 22:28 >> ...which means nothing can be before him. >> That's right. 22:30 >> "And in him, all this consist." So, this is clear that 22:35 everything that comes into being comes into being through him and there is nothing before him. 22:40 In fact, in him, all things consist, or by him. He is the one who sustains all 22:45 existence as the creator." The very next chapter says just as explicitly in Colossians 22:52 2:9... >> Yes. >> ..."for in him dwells all the 22:57 fullness of the Godhead bodily." >> Mm-hmm. >> "In him dwells all the 23:03 fullness of the Godhead bodily." That is a statement of full divinity, without any question, 23:12 any equivocation. He is fully divine. >> So, there's really no 23:18 question. Jesus is fully divine. But let me ask you this 23:23 question. And it's hard to believe we're running out of time. 23:25 And so we're gonna hint at this subject, and then we're gonna come back to it in our next 23:30 program. >> Yes. >> So, was Jesus really human 23:34 then? >> Yeah. Some people have thought that 23:37 Jesus wasn't really human -- he was just divine. This is heresy sometimes called 23:40 Docetism, and we can talk about that more next time. But the Bible explicitly teaches 23:45 that he became human and became fully human. In that same verse that we saw 23:49 before, same chapter, John 1, in John 1:14 -- it tells us in John 1:14 that he became flesh, 24:01 not just that he appeared to become flesh. John 1:14 -- "And the Word 24:06 became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten 24:12 of the Father, full of grace and truth." Other texts teach that Christ 24:16 had merely human characteristics, like getting weary, needing to eat, things 24:20 like that. We'll see some of those texts the next time. 24:23 But in light of that, some people think, "Well, maybe Christ was just a human who was 24:28 adopted," but the Bible teaches explicitly that he wasn't adopted as God. 24:32 He was always God. Even in the Old Testament, it was prophesied that he would be 24:38 from old, even from everlasting. That's in Micah 5:2. And Galatians 4 teaches that 24:43 when he came forth from Mary, he was coming already from above. He didn't come into existence 24:48 at that time. So, there's no before him, but he also became really and fully 24:53 human. >> And that is very and so important because we have Jesus 25:00 fully divine, fully God, yet condescends himself to become a human being. 25:09 >> Yes. >> And that is the Gospel and the story of the Gospel, that 25:15 God became like man to save us. >> Yes. >> In the last minute that we 25:21 have, Dr. Peckham -- and we're going to delve into this much more deeply -- what are some 25:27 words of hope as we are understanding this subject and wrap up this program today? 25:33 >> I think it just the awe that we should be struck by when you realize that God himself, the 25:39 second person of the Trinity, was willing to lower himself and even die, even unto death, 25:48 lower himself from the throne of glory, become a mere human like us, be subject to ridicule, 25:54 abuse, even torture, and die on a cross for us. And I encourage the viewers -- I 25:59 think we'll start there the next time. In Philippians 2, this is 26:02 described, this amazing condescension of God's love, that even though he was God, he 26:08 did not cling to that, that majesty, that splendor. He became like us to save us. 26:14 This just causes me to worship. >> And the amazing story of God's love. 26:20 Let's pray together. Heavenly Father, it is so amazing that Jesus, fully God, 26:30 fully divine, became human in order to save us. Lord, may we appreciate this and 26:39 may it transform our lives. We pray this in Jesus' name. Amen. 26:43 >> Amen. 26:47 >> It's almost impossible to comprehend the depth of God's love. 26:52 Jesus, fully divine, has existed for all time. By him, all things were made. 27:00 Yet there was one planet, planet Earth, that descended into rebellion. 27:08 And instead of merely destroying that world, God chose to save that world. 27:15 He chose to save us. Jesus, fully divine, became fully human so he could save us. 27:26 He is truly the master of love. Today I want to offer you the little book "Master of Love," 27:35 which will teach you about this love that Jesus has for humanity, the love he has for 27:43 you to save you.
