Since its components began to be officially codified at the Council of Nicea in 325 AD, the doctrine of the Trinity has been a topic that has caused great confusion and uncertainty for many truth-seeking Christians. This 16-hour seminar, by Don Snedeker, is filled with fascinating quotes from many Christians through the centuries who recognized that the Trinity has no biblical basis, and who stood firm against opposition and persecution for not believing it. Don aptly shows how critical it is for Christians to truly understand who Jesus Christ really is and what is his relationship to God, not only so they can make a rational defense of our faith, but so they can experience a relationship with God similar to that which Jesus had.
The “Unitarianism” presented in this seminar should not be confused with the teachings of the modern Unitarian Universalist denomination—a movement which has no creed and which contains many agnostics, theists, and atheists. Unitarian Universalism is a relatively modern, liberal religion. In contrast, the term “Unitarianism,” as it is used in this seminar, is a Biblically-based belief that is distinguished from Trinitarianism in that Unitarians say there is “one God, the Father,” versus Trinitarians who say that there is “one God: the Father, Son and Holy Ghost...all mixed into one.” Biblical Unitarians seek to hold simple teachings that are founded upon clear and explicit Scripture declarations rather than church tradition.
