Jesus is NOT God? Debate review

In this live stream, Dan Paterson and Dave Deans are joined by Christian apologist Anthony Rogers to examine one of Christianity’s most important claims: Is Jesus truly God?

Responding to a recent debate between New Testament scholar Michael Bird and Unitarian philosopher Dale Tuggy, the panel explores the biblical case for Jesus’ divinity. They consider how the New Testament identifies Jesus with the God revealed in the Old Testament, why Christians worship Jesus, and how passages about his humanity fit with the doctrine of the incarnation.

The conversation also addresses common objections: If Jesus is God, how could he lack knowledge, experience temptation, submit to the Father, or die on the cross? Through close engagement with Scripture, the speakers explain why these questions do not undermine Jesus’ divinity, but reveal the significance of God the Son becoming genuinely human for our salvation.

This episode offers a thoughtful, in-depth discussion for Christians, sceptics, Muslims, Unitarians, and anyone seeking to understand why the identity of Jesus lies at the heart of the Christian faith.
