A Reply to Dale Tuggy’s “A letter from the Lord Jesus: About God and Me” by Rudolph P. Boshoff

Recently I picked up on a letter that was penned by Unitarian, Dale Tuggy, on his blog titled: "A Letter from the Lord Jesus: About God and Me". In this letter Tuggy writes as if the Jesus of Unitarianism, who denies His Deity, and His functional understanding of the Doctrine of the Trinity is a ligitimate rendering of the Historical Jesus. When reading through the article, it should be noted that his letter presents a [...]

William Hasker’s reply to Dale Tuggy on the denial of the Doctrine of the Trinity.

This document is a scholarly reply by William Hasker defending the historical development of the Trinity doctrine against Dale Tuggy's critique, emphasizing biblical and theological evidence. Disagreements on Definitions of Key Terms The author criticizes Tuggy’s problematic definitions of ‘unitarian’ and ‘trinitarian,’ arguing they distort historical and theological understanding. Tuggy’s broad ‘unitarian’ includes early theologians like Tertullian and Origen, despite their differing views, and his ‘trinitarian’ requires full ontological equality and identification of the Trinity [...]

Agency or Divinity? Why the Biblical Unitarian Argument About Jesus Falls Short by Rudolph P. Boshoff

In contemporary theological debates—especially online—Biblical Unitarianism has resurfaced as a serious challenge to historic Christian doctrine. One of its most common claims is that Jesus is not God but simply God’s appointed agent. According to this view, the exalted language used about Christ in the New Testament reflects delegated authority, not divine identity. At first glance, the argument appears persuasive. After all, Scripture repeatedly states that Jesus was sent by the Father and that He [...]

Why Biblical Unitarianism Fails: A Scriptural and Historical Rebuttal by Rudolph P. Boshoff

Introduction: The Real Issue Is Not Simplicity but Fidelity Biblical Unitarianism presents itself as a return to “pure” monotheism—simple, uncluttered, and allegedly faithful to Scripture. Yet simplicity is not the same as truth. The real question is not whether the doctrine of the Trinity is easy, but whether it is required by the totality of biblical evidence. This article argues that Unitarianism fails because it redefines monotheism, selectively reads Scripture, and cannot account for the [...]

The Use of Plural Language in the Hebrew Bible: Indicators of a Triune Godhead by Rudolph P. Boshoff

The concept of the Triune Godhead, comprising three distinct Persons identified as Yahweh, each fully God, has been a cornerstone of Christian theology, rooted in interpretations of the Hebrew Bible. This article examines the use of plural nouns, verbs, and adjectives in the Hebrew Bible, arguing that they offer supplementary evidence for the tri-personal nature of God. While these plurals alone do not conclusively prove the Trinity, they align with the broader scriptural testimony of [...]

If Jesus Is God, Why Did He Pray to God? by Rudolph P. Boshoff

One of the most common objections to the divinity of Jesus is the question: If Jesus is God, how could He pray to God? Was He praying to Himself? This question often trips up those exploring the Christian doctrine of the Trinity, but the answer is straightforward when we understand the biblical concept of prayer and the distinct persons within the Godhead. Let’s unpack this with clarity and scriptural evidence, showing why Jesus praying to [...]

Is There Evidence of a Multi-Personality God in the Old Testament? by Rudolph P. Boshoff

The concept of the Trinity, a God who exists as three distinct persons (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit) yet is one being, has been a cornerstone of Christian theology for centuries. However, Unitarians argue that this idea was invented by early Christians and has no roots in the Old Testament or early Jewish belief. They often cite Deuteronomy 6:4, “Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one,” as evidence that God is [...]

Jesus Isn’t God because He has a God? (John 20:17) by Rudolph P. Boshoff.

Recently, I viewed a YouTube clip of Dale Tuggy that says that Jesus was not God but merely a man because He referred to Himself as having a God.[1] Let me say that this passage shows John's absolute brilliance. Now, let me read the passage for you. Here is the passage he refers to:  “Jesus said, “Do not hold on to me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father. Go instead to my [...]
