Presented by Noel Rude at the One God Conference, Seattle WA May 31st 2008, commentary by John Obelenus.
Noel continues to work backwards in his research on the Trinity. First we question the Trinity, and the spirit seems to definitively not be a person. What about binitarianism? We see that Jesus is not God either. Arianism? Jesus is not a divine figure, but rather a human being. Noel continues to wonder about the virgin birth, as he suggests it is the first Christological heresy.

Presented by Rick Richardson at the One God Conference, Seattle WA May 31st 2008, commentary by John Obelenus.
Rick opens talking about why we believe what we believe. Mostly it is formed from your experiences and thoughts, not necessarily rigorous proof and examination. He tracks this through to the creation of tradition. Many traditions and other beliefs come about because of the limited information in the biblical text. It doesn’t give us the answers to all the questions we could possibly ask – as the Gospel of John says: if all the works which he did were written down, the world wouldn’t have enough books to contain them. And because of these traditions we have to re-ask a lot of questions about phrases, words, and definitions. Rick clearly defines the Gospel as the Kingdom, and we only get this wrong because of a faulty definition and tradition.
