The Covenant of Promise and the Relationship Between the Father and Son (with Richard Morgan)

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css="" css_animation="none"]

The discussion focuses on the relationship between the Father and the Son in the context of biblical Unitarianism, contrasting it with traditional Trinitarianism. It examines the covenants of promise made to Abraham and David, highlighting their significance in understanding Jesus Christ as the fulfilment of these covenants. Key points include the typological relationship between Isaac and Jesus, the implications of being the "only begotten" son, and how these covenants relate to the concepts of resurrection and exaltation rather than eternal generation. # Highlights - 📜 **Covenants of Promise**: The Abrahamic and Davidic covenants illustrate a father-son relationship, with both promising an offspring that culminates in Jesus Christ, who is seen as the fulfilment of these promises. - 🔍 **Typological Framework**: Isaac is presented as a type of Christ, where his near-sacrifice by Abraham reflects the sacrificial relationship between God and Jesus, emphasizing love and obedience rather than consubstantiality. - 📖 **Only Begotten Concept**: The term "only begotten" (monogenes) is scrutinised, arguing that it should be understood as "unique" rather than implying eternal generation, which is a core concept in Trinitarian doctrine. - ⚰️ **Resurrection Context**: The relationship between the Father and the Son is framed in the context of Jesus' resurrection, suggesting that the true understanding of sonship comes from the events surrounding Christ’s death and resurrection rather than an eternal begetting. - 👑 **Exaltation of Jesus**: The discussion concludes with the idea that Jesus' status as the Son of God is affirmed through his resurrection and exaltation, rather than through the concept of being begotten from eternity. # Keywords #Covenants #BiblicalUnitarianism #FatherSonRelationship [embedyt] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AGycNb4-pf8[/embedyt] [/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css="" css_animation="none"]*************************************************************************************** This video was produced by the ChristadelphianVideo.org project, arranged and supported by Christadelphians worldwide.
