A Brief Reply to Tuggy’s Clarifications
In response to one of my recent posts, Dr. Tuggy wrote three posts that clarify some issues that I raised. Here are some things that I found puzzling about those posts. 1. Incomparable herds? We aren't given any reason why the point I've made about the "herd of jostling, competing theories" for the Trinity and… Continue reading A Brief Reply to Tuggy’s Clarifications
Scoffer or Scholar? A Response to Dale Tuggy

I viewed this as a parody, not… Continue reading Scoffer or Scholar? A Response to Dale Tuggy

A Solution to Dale Tuggy’s Argument against Oneness Pentecostal Christology
Dr. Tuggy has provided a charitable response to this post on one of his podcast episodes. My thanks to him for taking the time to do this. A number of years ago I discovered Dr. Dale Tuggy's website, and I ran into an argument that turned me agnostic about my views about God and Jesus.… Continue reading A Solution to Dale Tuggy’s Argument against Oneness Pentecostal Christology
