Is Jesus God?

[sailbyzantium]

That was great! And I was esp. happy for you to note John 20: 22-23 on this argument (Jesus bequeathing the authority to forgive sins to his followers). And thank you for the elucidation of Exodus 23: 20-21 including the understanding of the authority of the divine name--this I did not know this and I'm happy to have learned about it today.

I first saw you on a short clip via the Majority Report (where you were critiquing Jordan Peterson), a while back and hoped you were more prevalent on the web--and I just discovered your site just this past weekend and am very much a fan (binge watching like crazy).

I don't have the ability to get to Brown U. but am looking forward to your conference on Monotheism and the Bible as being published at some point and as well will seek out some of your other publications and recommendations.

Thank you Dan. Keep up the excellent work.

Thanks Dan. Knowing interpretive options can help many honest seekers of facts.

I am blown away by every video you put out. Huge fan of your work. Thank you so much.

[RealTrentertainment]

Thanks for this, Dan! This is easy to misunderstand but very important. It really threw me the first time that I heard of the concept of other beings "carrying the divine name". I wonder how/why this aspect of the theology developed?

[rahrahrobbbieee]

Always something good to learn. Thanks Dan.

I am very skeptical that John reports a damn thing that Jesus said accurately.

[zacharyadams]

I love your work, do you ever post longer form lectures?

Dan McClellan I'd like to know your thoughts on the subject of Jesus saying "You are gods, and all of you are children of the Most High" which is a quote from Psalms 82:6

[sonnierae]

I came closer to God by getting to know him better... thank you, Dr. McClellan. My focus is much better now, and I have found answers to questions I've had all my life.

Metatron sounds like the name of a Transformer

So assuming it is claiming some sort of divine association with God's name, then could it be said that divine association is in terms of being a messenger or a prophet whose role is to call the people towards the oneness of the Divine? Thanks

[jedediahcurrey]

What does it mean to be the possessor of the divine name? I do not understand that concept. Can someone give me some clarity on what that means? I watched his explanation twice and it just goes over my head.

[kadmii]

Dan, what are your thoughts on the way in which Trinitarian thinking emerges among the Apostolic Fathers? Where does it come from and why is it that it is that which consolidates?

[nathanphillips]

any update on your conference at Brown?

[beeg]

So is there a place in scripture that Moses was the possessor of the divine name? Or any Jewish tradition that would suggest that?

[clarkemorledge]

@Dan McClellan. So, you do not see Divine Council theology as being consistent with monotheism? Also, are you saying that the Gospel of John does not have a high christology?

[ragerable]

1) Have you made a video on the Trinity doctrine?
2) Why did they kill Jesus?

[jordancastio]

Hi Dan, it is my understanding that the jews' messianic expectations did not include that the messiah would be God, the Son of God, etc. So, would their messianic expectations also exclude believing that the Messiah would be a bearer of the Divine name?

4:21 That made me laugh and wheeze out loud. That was excellent
