One God, one Lord: Paul, Jesus, and Monotheism

The Nazareth to Nicaea vodcast discusses the historical Jesus, the Christ of Faith, and everything in between. We look at the many texts and traditions, the stories and artifacts, the heroes and heretics of the christological controversies. We cover the debates, the doubts, and the dissenters about all things related to Jesus and the early church.

In this episode, Dr. Mike Bird talks about 1 Corinthians 8:6 and Pauls so-called "christological monotheism." Discussion includes:

Introduction (00:01) 
A divine identity of Jesus (01:00)
Objections to divine identity of Jesus (08:45)
No parallel with intermediary figures (11:52)
A bifurcation within the one God (15:08)
Jesus is to the Church as Yahweh is to Israel (18:00)
Conclusion (21:24)
