Denying the Divinity of Jesus Makes the Church Decline - podcast episode cover

Episode description

References: (1) From 1947 to 2023 the Gallup poll traced the decline of church membership in the US. (2) In my opinion, people in the Christian Churches of America do not have a full appreciation of the real import of who Jesus really is and are thereby robbed of its significance. (3) Some, like Bart Ehrman, the skeptical professor of the NT at UNC in Chapel Hill, have gone so far to assert that Jesus NEVER CLAIMED He was divine. (4) I give 9 instances from a multitude of situations where Jesus said and did things that refutes that assertion that He never claimed to be divine. (5) Duane Sheriff, a pastor of a church in Oklahoma, made this comment: “Jesus came and did what I could not do: keep the Law. Then He went to the cross and paid for what I did do: break the Law. Then He was raised on the third day to do what the Law could not do: make me righteous and truly holy before a holy God. That’s the Gospel.” This is Episode 207.
