Brandon Tatum and the Deity of Christ

- I reviewed a 5 minute video by Brandon Tatum. I’m sorry, I had never heard of Officer Tatum before, and from looking at his video list, I imagine we would agree on a lot of things. But in this video he was promoting the worst of the arguments against the deity of Jesus, so we took the time to take his arguments apart, fully.

Look at the ice! Look at the drip!
@Honest Plus the deity of Christ is a core doctrine of the faith. One can view themselves as a christian all the want but they’ve denied or changed scripture and would fall into the category of JW’s or Mormons. No longer viewed as christian by the rest of Christendom. Again, this is Christianity 101. We worship Jesus... as God.
@Honest Plus the deity of Christ makes Christians saved. look at Paul's answer to this question. If there was no resurection then there is no salvation. In order for the resurrection to be possible christ must be divine. Jesus himself clearly states divinity. Anyone ignoring the basic truth of WHO Jesus Christ is cannot possibly be a CHRISTIAN
@Honest Plus Do you believe that a Christian can have an antichrist spirit, orthat a Christian, through the Holy Spirit, will say something that is antichristbin nature?
@@RuslanKD Nowhere in the Bible that says if you don't believe Jesus is god, then you get your Christian license revoked. For you to say that a person is not a Christian because they don't believe in a doctrine the church selects to be important is cultic, arrogant, and fucking cruel.
@@uncertainty7421 watch your language ,no one can take you serious coming at anyone cursing like a sailor ... second you perhaps and likely do not understand concepts and context in scripture ... if cannot understand Gods ways unless you have the holy spirit , start there first ,otherwise ......
Dr. White,
Brandon also lives in Arizona. He's conservative (politically) and also loves cycling. It would be great if you could get in contact with him somehow.
For sure! I thought the same thing.
Brandon would be scared to leave home then 😂
Sadly Brandon doesn’t want no smoke. My Brother Saiko Woods offered to debate him on this issue to no avail.

Lol you guys only repeat and quote things without context.
God cant die.
Yes because death is only for the
Part of the material world.
God is spirit not material.
So let me ask .
Does spirit die?
Where in the bible say angels die?
Angles also don't die .
Well because they are not part of the material creation.
Jesus took flesh on him self to prove death otherwise he wouldn't die.
So lets see this.
Jesus is spiritual and material at same time.
According to Philippians 2:4
He gave only is majesty to be God the royal form.
And became man , but he didn't not gave up his God essence
He add the humanity to himself .
His spirit never dies
So when the bible says Jesus die is only applied to his humanity not to his spiritual being.
On the cross he said father I give you my spirit.
The spirit of the son of God lives even his body dies.
So jesus as the true eternal son of God cant die
But the son of God in human form can die and yet he did.
Jesus is God's word and he is eternal.
Does the word of God dies ?
How so ?
Only in incarnation not in the spiritual realm.
@@mitchellc4 1. Jesus was sent by the true God, that doesn't discount Jesus. If him and the Father are one, it makes sense Jesus would say that.
2. He claimed to be God plenty of times. Jesus called himself the I AM (John 8:24), Jesus put himself as equal of the Father (John 5:18)
3. The Father also calls Jesus God, Hebrews 1:8.
4. Jesus died but didn't cease to exist.
5. God can die if he puts on flesh to die in, which Jesus did. (John 1:1-14)
6. Jesus also says he will raise himself from the dead. (John 2:19-21, John 10:18)
7. The Father raised Jesus (Galatians 1:1) Jesus raised himself (John 2:19-21) and the Holy Spirit raised Jesus (Romans 8:11)
@Maty Newest
Angels don't die
Even our spirit don't die.
What is death?
Its only for the created material realm.
Jesus said father I give you my spirit.
Stephen said jesus I give you my spirit.
Hard to understand?
@Maty Newest So what you're trying to say is that if God wanted to, he couldn't make a body for himself that could die?
So glad you have posted this Dr White! I've been telling people who listen to Tatum (and I do sometimes) to not adhere to his theology because I do believe him to be oneness and denies the Triune God. Im so thankful for this video!
He recently did a live stream (the day this video was recorded) and said he was Oneness Pentecostal. He is extraordinary ignorant; he said the only difference between Catholics, Baptists, and Pentecostals are stricter rules and some Mormons in the chat were convincing him that they were Christians.
I always used to wonder why there were so many charismatic Pentecostals in his comment section...now we know why.
@@amichiganblackman3200 absolutely! I know he dont see my comments, but I always comment that the One True God is triune in nature and has revealed Himself as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. I am so surprised to see Dr White bringing correcting because I didn't think he knew of him. So timely and I will be sharing this video in Tatum's comments section.

@@mitchellc4 did Jesus not say that He and the Father are one? Didnt He also say that no one has seen the Father but Him and that if you've seen Him you've seen the Father? If Jesus said no ody had seen the Father, who did Adam and Abraham see? These are good questions that I expect a sound answer to. Best to make sure the One True God of your worship is the One True God of Scripture, or else it's a false god and therefore idolatry. Remember that death never held Christ. You need to repent of your idolatry.

Who is the God of Jesus?
Who is Jesus repeatedly referring to as “my God”?

12 He who conquers, I will make him a pillar in the temple of my God; never shall he go out of it, and I will write on him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem which comes down from my God out of heaven, and my own new name.
I'm conservative politically but me and Brandon Tatum have absolutely nothing in common! my politics flow from my religion his from his heart.
The chief danger that confronts the coming century will be religion without the Holy Ghost, Christianity without Christ, forgiveness without repentance, salvation without regeneration, politics without God, heaven without hell.” William Booth
Amen Christian brother and the Bible says that the heart is wicked above all else. Jeremiah 17:9
Such a true quote from Booth. Thank you for sharing that. : )
Tatum is not a conservative. And he obviously is not a follower of Jesus.
@@margochanning6868 Tatum is a follower of himself and will reap this. God is not to be mocked and Tatum has that blood all over. The spirit of hate he is promulgating will backfire one day.
GOD the FATHER is the One and only "HOLY SPIRIT." And it
was GOD the FATHER who, "Gave Christ ALL POWER and AU-
THORITY." Part of this "Authority" is the Power to Forgive sins.
The FATHER "Gave" His Son this Power because, as Scripture
Clearly states; Jesus was, "Obedient unto death."
Number One:
GOD the FATHER does not Die!
Number Two:
GOD the FATHER does not have to be brought to Obedience;
Not by ANYone.
Jesus died on the Cross.
GOD the FATHER did NOT.
Jesus proclaimed;
"FATHER, FATHER---Why hast thou Forsaken me?"
QUESTION: Who is the, "ONE TRUE GOD," in this statement?
QUESTION: And who is the, "Only BEGOTTEN Son," in this
Statement?
According to the New Testament, who, "RAISED this Jesus
From the dead?" Was it GOD----or was it Christ himself?
No hard feelings...just getting you to Think!
@@margochanning6868he definitely is conservative, but not a follower of Christ (yes 3 years later)
Have me on to discuss this
🙏
Hey. I don't think this is Dr. James White UA-cam page. Maybe you can find another way to get a hold of him.
Hang in there Brandon, God has shown you the truth, Jesus is not God. Jesus loves his father and has done what his father has shown him to do.
Officer Tatum you won’t even talk to Brother Saiko, after he ask you to discuss this issue.
Dude you're severely out of your league.
More of this ! I'm ex mormon and have been trying so hard to understand the trinity, so thank you for taking it back to the Hebrew and greek!
Wowza! That was a shellacking of a rebuttal! I've heard MMA fighters say, "There are levels to this game", and while listening to Dr. White's rebuttal, that's about all I could think about. Not only did Dr. White throw everything plus the kitchen sink at Brandon, but that sink had all kinds of scripture inside of it! Well done, Dr. White. As my late dogs would say, "Let's give him a round of a paws."
Tatum represents so many "conservatives" holding false beliefs, perhaps by this and moments like this the Lord will reprove, correct and instruct them.

He doesn't really represent so "many conservatives" in the bible though. Most conservatives probably most likely believe that Jesus is God.
@@nyambsdeborah8954 Some don't believe or understand basic core tenets of the faith, some pray to saints, some are deists, some are atheists, some agnostic, some nominal, some syncretists, some apathetic, for many Christianity is just cultural.
@@apeculiargentleman6925 but that's not mostly or only conservatives. That's not what you said it but it kinda sounds like that.
people don't take Christianity in general as serious as in the past. Those Christians were actual followers of Christ and were willing to die for their faith. Now we are so scared to even stand firm on basic truths.
And you can't really be a Christian athiest. Athiest' is the lack of belief in a deity. The whole Christianity believes in both God, Christ, and Holy Spirit. That needs faith of God and of a higher power.
@@nyambsdeborah8954 My point is that a large number of "conservatives" hold false beliefs and or are nominally Christian, not that they hold precisely the same beliefs as Tatum.
If you watch a bunch of Ray Comfort videos of him witnessing you'll see that many who profess Christ don't understand/know, let alone believe the gospel.
Brandon needs to stick to politics not theology.
Maybe White can tutor Brandon? 🧐

And we are "Free" to teach the "Inerrant word of GOD," which
Clearly teaches----There is but ONE HOLY SPIRIT, which is, "GOD
the FATHER! And one, "The Man, Christ Jesus," who, "OBEYED"
his Holy FATHER according the FATHER'S Will.
I stopped watching B Tatum after he did the video on the DC capital riots. He expressed harsh attitude towards the people (mainly Christians) that shamed the behaviors that took place in DC. Tatum said something along the lines of “I’m so sick of people saying that we should just sick back and pray; We as Americans need to fight back because faith without works is dead anyway...” He was referring to people that were shaming the rioters and claiming they should stop the violence, be peaceful and pray.. His misinterpretation & representation of scripture hurt my heart. Now that I know his stance on my the king of king & lord of lords Jesus Christ, I feel much better for a previous decision to rid of him. I wish him no harm and I hope he repents of his satanic stances but until than I have nothing for him.
Titus 2:13

Jesus said that Brandon.
That is heresy you just commited you called Jesus the father.
@@finalfrontier001 No. Jesus did say that. It doesn't mean Jesus IS the Father. It means whatever the Father does, the Son does also. Whatever you see the Son do is exactly what the Father does. Thus, if you have seen Son, you have seen the Father. It means Jesus, the Son is God and the Father is God.

I have encountered a large number of people who hold false beliefs. The fact they hold false beliefs does not cause me to drop my jaw (in the early days it did) - what causes me great sadness and the shaking of my head is when I show them in the Bible what the truth is - is when they stubbornly refuse to let go of their falsehood and embrace the truth. I have a great sadness and burden for them.

@@mitchellc4 From an anthropological (human) viewpoint, Jesus is a human being. While a human walking the earth, Jesus points to His Father in Heaven, who is God. He does this primarily for the benefit of every believer. Believers are those who have become children of God. As a child of God, the believer relates to God as "Our Father, who art in Heaven". While Jesus is divine, he is encased in a shell of human flesh. He is both God and man. He is the God-man. Jesus said that He and His Father are one - this is from a spiritual viewpoint. From a theological viewpoint, Jesus is God in the flesh He is Emmanuel = "God with us". In John chapter 1, Jesus is revealed as God. Also in this same chapter, Jesus is revealed as the Word who became flesh (human) and dwelt among us (other humans). Paul, who is a human believer, is viewing Jesus from a human viewpoint when he makes that statement you are making reference to.

Ok
So the Father is the God of Jesus
Jesus’s God is the Father
Jesus’s God is not a triune three person being
Jesus’s God is a single person, the Father
If Jesus doesn’t worship a triune three person God why would I ??
Did Jesus obey the Shema?
From experience I can say this kind of stuff is common in the charismatic church, where completely unqualified people are given the stage to preach. Great public speakers, terrible preachers.
Tatum is a charlatan. With worldly things, he can talk a good game but for any genuine follower of Jesus, Tatum is revealed for what he is.
The charismatic church believes Jesus is God, believes in the Trinity they just believe the gifts of the Spirit are for today and didn't stop when the early founders of the church died. There are charlatans in every denomination.
There is a long video of a debate between Tatum and Anthony Rogers on the Trinity.
Is Dr. White wearing a Coogi sweater and piece and chain. Out here looking like an early 2000's rapper.🤣 Nice rebuttal doc. You can just tell that Tatum is soooo full of pride.
God can’t share His glory (Isaiah 42:8) And God and His Son exchange the Glory (John 17) Which means Jesus is God..

Hi
Yes
There’s nothing about “God became a human being” in the Bible
Before Abraham was I Am .....and they freaked out and wanted to Stone him because they knew what he was saying
Well that's what Christ said as recorded in the original Greek grammar by John at verse 8:58.
But how should that expression really be correctly translated into the English grammar?
For instance, notice at Jn. 14:9 the same Greek grammar from Christ occurs again where he tells his apostle Phillip literally;
"... So long a time with you, I am."
To which Bible translators now use the English perfective for the Greek present "eimi" ("I am") "**I have been** among you such a long time?"
So if Jn. 8:58 reads the same way lit. from the Greek;
"Before Abraham became, I am."
Shouldn't it therefore be consistently rendered into English likewise as;
"**I have been** in existence since before Abraham."?
This is commonly called a "Present of Past Action" (or "PPA") idiom in Greek.
Meaning that Jesus was not claiming a Divine title to be God or some other there, but was simply saying that he was already in existence prior to Abraham's birth and still is up to the present when he spoke.
To which the Jewish opposers there tried to stone him probably for laying claim to such a long supernatural existence, which they refused to accept is all.
@@antonioterrell354Even if we grant this, who in the world could have existed longer than Abraham other than God? Jesus clearly isn’t merely claiming to be an angel because there are other places in John’s Gospel and the Synoptics where Jesus makes claims only God can rightly make.

Let's try this again.
Does GOD speak? Does He have a Word? Is that Word Eternal? Did that Word come in flesh? When you speak your words to people do YOU stop being you??? Neither did God stop being God when He SPOKE The Word.
Your quote: John 17 does not show Jesus and God not one.. Know God and Know God's Word.... same THING. "Who hears me hears the Father".
Unitarianism is FALSE.
Indeed 😂
He waxes long, but his content is good.
EVERYTHING Tatum said comes down to arguments from silence. "Why didn't this person call him God?" Lack of evidence against your position in some places doesn't mean you get to ignore all the evidence.
God please protect Dr. James White at all costs 🙏 There aren’t that many that can defend your Word as good as he does it. He is desperately needed in these times.
Also. if the 3rd clause in John 1:1 had the definite article for BOTH nouns, it would mean that ALL there was to God would be found in the Logos - alone; the Logos was ALL there was to God (an example of Oneness)
Only God can satisfy his own justice. Jesus is God in the flesh the perfect sacrificial lamb, for His people.
THANK YOU for addressing this
OMG! It just goes to show, the study of scripture is very important!
I don't believe he understands what he's saying; and he's NOT the only person doing this, there are Pastors that do this too. Whenever I hear someone pray or say they have a fresh revelation, I cringe because I know there's no such thing. All knowledge is contained within scripture, the Lord Jesus being the focus.
I stopped watching officer Tatum because of his constant sass. That being said, praying for him that he get his faith sorted out.
Trinitarian-ISM is a CULT. And they fight HARD to defend their Golden Calf. They purposely corrupt the Word of God, use eisegesis and philosophy (which the Bible forbids) to explain a doctrine FOREIGN to Scripture. WHERE can we find the three in one CRAP? ONLY in the OCCULT! You IDIOTS are regurgitating Jewish mysticism. Wonder WHY they direct you FOOLS to Judaism, by using THEIR occult interpretations of Scripture? BUNCH OF DUMMIES

@@JudeOne3Four How can one call himself a follower of Christ and spew out so many insults. If you believe you are right ,which you are not, would it not be better to rebuke with patience and teaching as written in 2 Timothy 4:2? Yet here you insult. John 1 debunks the whole Jesus Christ is not God theory you guys have. If you pay attention to scripture you would also understand that the Jews wanted Jesus Christ crucified for blasphemy because He said He was God. We know that God raised Jesus Christ from the dead. Go back to scripture and look what Jesus Christ says: John 2:19; Jesus answered and said to them, “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.”
Notice He did not say God will raise it up but He said 'I'. Check out Phillipians 4:6, John 8:54-59, John 20:26-28, aswell. I would like to hear what you say about this. Also, did not Jesus Christ say He was the beginning and the end? How can He be the beginning and the end if He is not God! Please read the scriptures before you listen to people preaching lies to you.
@@victor7845 The blatant ignorance. HOW in the world does Son of GOD translate into GOD? No, man John 1 DEBUNKS the Jesus is GOD mantra. John also wrote 1st, 2nd and 3rd John where he goes on about the Word and explains it. Just as the Bible ALSO explains it, when you compare scripture with scripture. But to selling the popular mystic jesus you HAVE TO deny the scriptures. Or maybe you have ears to hear and eyes to see?
The dude : The word was a god
Dr White : hahaha should have seen that one coming 🙈
I couldn't help myself but laugh. Really enjoyed this rebuttal.
Seeing this crop up more and more lately on Channels purporting to have a 'Christian' worldview in some sense. Don't know where this is coming from now, but I know the cult in which I grew up and this was one of its bread-and-butter doctrines. I guess that un-deifying Jesus plays well for those wishing to cultivate in followers the sense of being in a special club by adhering to a super-exclusive reading of scripture and 'the law'. Salvation through faith leaves little room to feel swell on account of our own merits.
My wife and I sat in a "Church of God..." and the pastor neighbor of ours was late coming in from out of town and another man began to try to preach. Every time he made a claim he would add " now don't check me out on this" Brandon reminds me of that man.
I have a Sunday School teacher in my Southern Baptist church who is teaching this same heresy and universalism. I challenged him but he is still teaching heresy. Should I got to the pastor about it?
Yes
Though I don’t agree with your systematic soteriology, i whole heartedly agree with you on this Mr.White.
I definitely do not watch Brandon Tatum for biblical advice.
But i really do love Brandon and watch him a lot. But i also pray for Candace Owens salvation! Love her too! Along with many others!!❤🙏

She's a professing Christian like most of America.
On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’ And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.’

Jesus simply claiming to be the Messiah couldn't have been the primary reason why he was threatened. Jesus was of the line of David. He had the right according to the Prophets to possibly be the Messiah.. His blasphemy was his claiming to be God. period
"The man from heaven. What is that supposed to mean?" That's a good question for every trini who misuse the "coming down from heaven" texts in John 3.13; John 6.
I believe a lot of confusion comes from people not believing God is Holy. How can we ever stand in the presence of God without the justification and righteousness the blood Christ brings? The holy Lamb of God, Jesus, is the only one that can make us holy.
Brandon has been "studying" for 8 years, yet after I got saved, and started learning more about my faith, it only took me 1 year to learn everything I needed to know. I can tell you for sure, Jesus is both thee son of God, and God in flesh form. I dunno where Brandon get's this ideology from, but it ain't the bible, because if it was, he wouldn't be so bluntly ignorant towards the scriptures.. It seems to me he's cherry picking, and I'm not gonna lie, a lot of Christians do that, but you can't be Christian without Christ being in the word, that's not how that works. I had a lot of respect for Tatum, but after this, I dunno... I do hope he'll get his faith sorted out.
I also wanna point out that Tatum said "Jesus couldn't resurrect himself" when literally he rose from the dead three days later... what separates Jesus from the mythological gods is that they claimed to be "immortal" but needed worship from man to keep that immortality. Jesus didn't need that. And Jesus died for humanity, and rose again 3 days later... who else in any theology can do that? Horus couldn't, Thor couldn't, Hercules didn't, no one from any other mythological belief or theological belief could do that other than Christ himself. Tatum needs to read the gospel of John, then Revelations, and every other scripture that talks about Christ in past, present, and future time. Brandon seriously needs to think before he opens his mouth.

It sounds like your child is discovering the trinity. Revelation 22:1 and Rev 22:3 state there is only one throne while it's also stating two names for who is on the thrown, and the grammar shows these two names are one in the same. How apprehendable is this?

40 And he cometh unto the disciples, and findeth them asleep, and saith unto Peter, What, could ye not watch with me one hour?
41 Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.
42 He went away again the second time, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if this cup may not pass away from me, except I drink it, thy will be done.
43 And he came and found them asleep again: for their eyes were heavy.
44 And he left them, and went away again, and prayed the third time, saying the same words.
45 Then cometh he to his disciples, and saith unto them, Sleep on now, and take your rest: behold, the hour is at hand, and the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.

I’m confused. On John 1:1.
Firstly, why would the definite article not be included in John 1:1? We do believe JESUS is THE GOD, don’t we? I mean, there’s not other gods, right? Second, doesn’t the Greek literally translate as “GOD was The Word”? Isn’t that what you said shouldn’t be there? Honest questions not trying to get you.
@TheCynicogue
Regarding word order, Greek isn’t bound by the same rules as English. The subject can come at the end. Context determines it. In this case, what’s difficult about it is that Theos and Logos are both in the nominative case. The reason for that is that it is equating two things. We have a subject nominative and a predicate nominative. How can we tell the difference? “The Word” is the subject in that sentence. “In the beginning was ‘The Word’ and ‘The Word’ was with God...” thus the conclusion “...and ‘The Word’ was God.”
But why does “God” not have a definite article? Why is it not included? It has to do with what’s called “Colwell’s Rule.” Usually the predicate nominative comes before the verb. However, when it comes before the verb (as in this case God is the predicate nominative coming before the verb ‘was’) it will often times (90%) not have an article but still be a definite noun. That’s just simply the way they wrote Greek.
Moreover, think in our own language. While we have definite and indefinite articles, we will use no article to still mean definiteness. “The Word was God” in English has no article to define definiteness. Yet we know we mean definiteness. It’s the same way here - the Greek construction (predicate nominative coming before the verb) indicates definiteness to the reader.
Theos being put in front of the subject (Logos) may very well be for emphasis. The Word was God (!). It is emphatic.
@@jacksontran5469
Yes. It was for emphasis. Greek was a language meant to be read out loud. Word order is how they determined emphasis rather than punctuation marks.
@@billyr9162 because God in 3rd clause of the verse is qualitative
Not a name .
The word is the subject of the verse .
First clause
Where the word was or existed ?
Answer in the beginning ( eternal state)
2nd - what was the word doing.
Answer he was in relationship with the father (God)
3rd - what is the Word?
Answer he was God
He has same essence of the father .
So God on the 3rd clause is what he is (essence).
greek doesn't use articles for adjectives.
Here God also doesn't have article
John 1:6
There was a man sent by God.
here there is no article before God in the greek.
So we can't follow Jw logic here.
If we put a article
It will be a man sent by a god
Then the verse will say John was sent by any god.
So in John 1:1
The author is telling us what the word was .
If the word was a god then he gave no explanation was just empty words we still don't know what the word was .
Because a god means nothing.
Its indefinite.
Is he angel, is he another creature?
But here John gives the explanation who he is.
he said he was God , now we know he is God .
But if you want a word God with an article before here its , applied to Jesus
Go to psalms 45 :5
Both God who anointing and who is anoited has an article before the word God.
So we know here is God the father anointing God the Son
Both with articles before the word in the Greek septuagint .

@@billyr9162 I'm sorry I was replying to Thecynogue
About essence yes there is
The 3rd clause God can mean divine .
Meaning he has same essence as the God of the first clause .
Its not same God of the first clause otherwise it will be modalism .
The first clause God is the father
3rd clause God is the essence (divine).
John 1 The WORD was with God and the WORD was God and that same God became flesh and dwelt among Us I don't think we need anything more that's pretty solid for the deity of Christ and not only his deity but also is humanity
Yeah, but Trinitarian Bible translators are not consistent with their traditional grammatically definite rendering of Jn. 1:1c that way.

It's an assumption by some theologians that the bible writers identify Jesus as Yahweh. But the truth is, there is no scripture that identify Jesus as Yahweh. Also, the Trinity doctrine doesn't teach that Jesus is Yahweh, Oneness does. The Trinity doctrine states that Yahweh is the Father is God, Jesus is the Son is God, both are separate but equal. Jesus is Yahweh in the old testament was stolen from the Oneness doctrine by Trinitarianism. The Athanasian creed where the Trinity derived from never suggested Jesus is Yahweh.
" 28 I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one will snatch them out of my hand. 29 My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all[a]; no one can snatch them out of my Father’s hand. 30 I and the Father are one.” John 10:28-30
How does a Unitarian explain Mark 1:9-11. There are clearly 4 separate characters. John the Baptist, Jesus, the spirit, and the voice from heaven.
PREACH - the spirit has reveled it to me as well - Brandon Tatum, you are CORRECT! The Godhead is 3 separate beings(God the Father, His son Jesus our Savior, and the Holy Spirit). People stumble when doing private interpretation of scriptures(Proverbs 3:5) that talk about “these three are one” (John 5:7). This means three distinct and separate beings. They are one in purpose. There is only one agenda, one will, one plan. They are unified in every way except physically. Scriptures that talk about being “one” but not physically(John 17: 20-23; Genesis 2:24; 1 Cor. @-17; Mark 10:7-9) (We worship God the Father through his son Jesus Christ - the Savior and Mediator) The “Trinity Doctrine” came from the Nicene Creed not the Bible(Man’s ideas mixed with scripture). Jehovah, or Christ, Is the God of the Old Testament and the Savior of the New Testament. Remember before the world was Satan and Jesus being brothers and God the Father cast Satan out of heaven (Job 38:4-7; Isaiah 14:12)(There were multiple beings in heaven). Scriptures that The Godhead is 3 separate beings (1 John 5:7 - For there are three that bear record in heaven; Matt. @-17 - he saw the Spirit of God descending - a voice from heaven, this is my beloved Son; Acts 7:55-56 - Jesus standing on the right hand of God; Gen @ And God said, Let US make main in OUR image after OUR Likeness; John 17:3 And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent; Luke 23:46 - Jesus had cried with a loud voice, he said, Father into thy hands I commend my spirit; Matthew 26:39 and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt; Matt. @-17 - Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God - but my Father which is in heaven; John 14:28 I go unto the Father: for my Father is greater than I; Hebrews 1:2 Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son)
Dr. White, Mr. Joe Ventilacion is itching his way to defend Brandon Tatum. And all of sudden it’s Part 2 of you guys’ debate.
Tatum is a good dude. He is just a product of our anemic churches. But I guarantee if a Godly man took him aside and explained further the truth, much like Aquilla and Priscilla did with Apollos he would be submitted.
It's not so much him, I really think he is trying.
I have been in Southern Baptist churches where Sunday school leaders try and explain, Trinity, Incarnation, sovereignty.
Make your ears bleed.
And while you're, "Praying for Brandon," Pray for yourselves;
( For Wisdom).
What about Matthew 1:23?
What about it?
@@judithmargret5972 and you shall call his name Emmanuel "God with Us"
@@ThecrosseyedTexan Jesus, God the Son is the second person of the Trinity who took on human flesh and dwelt among us. He was fully God and fully man. Listen to this for a full understanding.
@@judithmargret5972 you're preaching to the choir LOL
@@judithmargret5972 but to say that Jesus never claimed deity is just not correct.
This is the worst baseless argument I have ever heard from this Brandon!
Jesus coiuld not ressurect himself.
@@finalfrontier001 but he did the Bible says in John 10:18 no one takes my life from me I lay down of myself and I raise it up again
In John 2:19 Jesus said destroy this temple and in 3 days I will raise it up again in John 11:25 Jesus says im the resurrection and the life u can’t get any plainer then that
Take my advice stick to politics theology isn’t for you!
@@armandomgomezjr7014 stop mis quoting the bible it won't help you lying.
@@finalfrontier001 u can’t misquote what has been written about Jesus thru the prophets and his disciples the Bible says we are witnesses of these things
Psalm 35:23
Anyone got the link to the original video?
I saw it on Whaddo You Meme's page before.
Tatum starts out swinging at Anthony Rogers and James White, two titan level apologists that specialize in The trinity, Greek and the Deity of Christ........... he may wanna swing a lil bit lower on the tree lol Thats like me deciding to box then challenging mike tyson right away
Thank you Dr. White, this is excellent 💯
Excellent? Yeah if you're a Gnostic Catholic
@@JudeOne3Fourignorant reply
What about the verse where Jesus says 'why do you call me good. There is none good but God'.
I believe Jesus is God, but isn't this rejecting His deity?
Please answer😭
Are you suggesting Jesus was not good? Neither was Jesus.
Read it carefully, where In that verse did Jesus ever say he isn't good, or deny his goodness?. He didn't. In fact, in that very statement He affirms his deity. Basically it's supposed to be read in this context, someone calls Jesus good, and Jesus basically asks why He's called good if only God is good, basically He was trying to get the person who called him good to make the connection that by doing that, that person is calling Jesus God. Furthermore, a couple verses later, Jesus calls himself the GOOD shepherd (basically affirming that He is good but also, that title the "good shepherd", is a title that was applied to YHWH God in the Old Testament). So yeah Jesus didn't deny his deity in that text, he affirms it.
St John 1... The WORD BECAME FLESH...c'mon Bruh Tatum....you are not washed nor forgiven from your sins.....because no man can die in your place.
Trinitarians are so deceived by the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees. Let's compare scripture with scripture. WHAT is the Word of God according to the Bible?
...Truly embarrassed for Brandon. It's one thing to become a Christian and as a New Convert start to learn about your faith. But this is just wicked to come in when you know nothing and start spouting off Heresies. He's lucky that any of these Bible Scholars are even trying to teach him. Its Elementary and core foundations of the Christian Faith that we know Jesus is God and That God is Triune. Without that, your not even a Christian. Without the "indwelling" Holy Spirit...1 Corinthians 2:14 says the natural, unsaved man, cant know these Spiritual Truths. Gotta come to Salvation thru faith alone, in Christ alone, to the Glory of God alone! God Bless you Dr. White...l really enjoy all your debates.🙏💕
Does there even exist political commentators that’s biblically sounds all the way around?

Repent and believe the gospel! Follow Jesus’ teachings!
Jesus is going to return and set up the kingdom of God ON THE EARTH! God’s government ON THE EARTH! The Messiah will resurrect his people! The destiny of the Messiah and his people is to be ON THE EARTH! The renewed restored earth! God also dwelling with them! Rev 21

*🔴Does Tatum have an LDS or Jehovah's Witness background?*
*I hope he will humble himself long enough to listen to someone who can set him straight.*
I wonder if he is following what MLK jr believed.I don’t think MLK jr believed Jesus was God
For a doctor of theology you sure don’t seem like it. 1:8 does not say “HE SAITH “ in any greek manuscript that has ever existed. The father is not saying to the son “ your throne oh GOD is forever. How silly. “Your God has anointed you “ so God is anointed by God?
According to the scriptures quoted, Jesus is YHWH. I'm not a bible scholar, but it seems like Jesus does things only God can do.
Love this guy man!!!
Hey cool shirt man!!
James white should be on the comedy channel
James, how did you end up on his videos?
It's not in this clip, but in the full show he said somebody sent him the video.
Seriously Jesus quoted Isaiah 43:10 in John 13:9??? No. You skip to the middle of the verse where it says "I am he" and because Jesus says "I am he" that he was quoting that?? Talk about picking and choosing.
The reason JW don't argue about the Logos in John 1 as "it" instead of "him" is because of their false identification of Jesus with the archangel Michael.
Thanks Dividing Line for this video. It was an amazing scholarly refutation by Dr. White.

@@mitchellc4 There you go again, the so-called proof text of the Unitarians, John 17:3 which is talking about knowing the only true God AND JESUS CHRIST!! Christ refers to himself as JESUS CHRIST instead of simply ME and He is talking about knowing the only true God as oppose to the FALSE GODS such as the idols because Gentiles worshipped many gods. Jesus is NOT putting himself in the category of false gods since He is the TRUE LIGHT (John 1:9), the TRUE BREAD (John 6:32) and the TRUE VINE (John 15:1). He himself is called THE TRUE GOD AND ETERNAL LIFE in 1 John 5:20 along with the Father, He is called our GREAT GOD AND SAVIOR in Titus 2:13 and He is called the GOD and the LORD by Thomas in John 20:28. Thomas was a God-fearing Jew and would not take God’s name in vain as commanded in Exodus 20:7. Jews were already monotheists, but Jesus wanted them to know the one true God AND JESUS CHRIST that means, knowing the Father through the atoning sacrifice of the great mediator, equal with the Father who for our sake became incarnate to reconcile us to God. Simply to have heard or read that there is a savior is NOT to know it. Paul explains in Phil. 3:10 what does it mean to KNOW Christ.
Yes, the Gospel is about the great kingdom just as written in Rev. 11:15 “The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our LORD AND OF HIS CHRIST; and he will reign forever and ever”. The word “Kingdom” is singular in this verse. Bible is clear that the ONE kingdom of the Father and the Son is FOREVER AND EVER and this great heavenly chorus is celebrating that kingdom much like in Rev.5:13 where honor, glory and praise are given to the Father AND TO THE LAMB. Daniel 7:13-14 talks about the kingdom of one like a Son of Man whose dominion is everlasting and whose kingdom will not be destroyed. Zech. 14:9 talks about the LORD YHVH who will be king all over the earth. These prophecies will be fulfilled when the FATHER AND THE LAMB will sit on ONE throne from which flows the river of the water of life (Rev. 22:1-3).
