417 One God 7: Jesus, God’s Agent

This is part 7 of the One God Over All class.

In the bible we encounter a strange phenomenon. Sometimes beings other than Yahweh are called Gods. How can we square that with monotheism–the idea that the Father is the only true God? Although most Christians are aware that the bible calls Jesus God a couple of times, most have never noticed that the scriptures also use the term for Moses, angels, judges of Israel, the divine council, and the king of Israel. What do all of these individuals have in common? They are all agents commissioned to do God’s will on earth. In this episode we’ll explore the principle of agency so we can better understand Jesus’ role as God’s supreme representative.
