I’m a Biblical Unitarian. Here’s Why.
I’m a Biblical Unitarian. “What’s that?” I hear you ask!
I’m Dan Weatherall, host of Bible Feed, and in this video I present three reasons about the Father, the Son and the spirit that convince me to be a Biblical Unitarian. I believe that the Father alone is God, that Jesus is God’s Son, not God himself, and that the spirit is God’s power and presence in the world.
And crucially, I believe that the Bible teaches this. I can’t find the Trinity or the deity of Christ in the Bible anywhere, so that’s why I’m a Biblical Unitarian, not a Trinitarian.
