Christ’s Crucifixion & Resurrection

https://youtu.be/2VKGow9UMUI By [wbt_preacher_link preacher="Sean Finnegan"] God has the properties of aseity, immortality, and imperishability. Jesus depended on God during his time on earth and still depends on him even now in heaven. Jesus died, thus he is not immortal.

Yahweh, the God of Jesus

https://youtu.be/grx1Uq-m_Vg By [wbt_preacher_link preacher="Sean Finnegan"] Jesus and the Jewish scribe agreed that the Shema defines who God is (Mark 12:29-30).
