Philippians 2: Jesus is not God with Bible Scholar John Thorpe

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css_animation="none"]A @Christadelphians Video: **YouTube Video Description** What if one of the most famous passages used to support the Trinity actually teaches the opposite? In this thought-provoking and expositional video, we take an outstanding, verse-by-verse look at Philippians 2:5-11 – the so-called “Song of Christ”. Trinitarians often claim this text proves Jesus is God, but a careful, revealing examination shows a wonderful and different truth: Jesus is the human Son of God, our perfect example of humility and obedience. We dismantle the common assumptions – what does “form of God” really mean? What about “equality with God” and “emptied himself”? Using the original Greek and clear Scriptural parallels, we demonstrate that Jesus did not pre-exist as God, but rather as the image of God. He chose not to seize equality with God, humbled himself, and died for our sins – something the immortal God cannot do. This insightful study will transform how you read this powerful passage. Join us as we uncover the real message: Jesus, our brother and Lord, shows us what a man submitted to God can achieve. Be inspired to follow his example! **📖 Bible Verse Category** 📖 Philippians 2:5-11 📖 Acts 2:30, Acts 7:55, Galatians 2:14 📖 Mark 16:12 📖 2 Corinthians 4:4, 1 Corinthians 11:7, Genesis 1:26 📖 John 10:28-29, 2 Corinthians 12:2-4 📖 1 Timothy 1:17 **Chapters** 00:00 – Introduction: Does Philippians 2 prove Jesus is God? 00:42 – Reading Philippians 2:5-11 01:36 – Assumption 1: When was Jesus “in the form of God”? 04:27 – Assumption 2: What does “form of God” (morphē) really mean? 07:47 – Assumption 3: “A thing to be grasped” – seizing equality with God 11:16 – “Emptied himself” – of deity or of pride? 13:33 – “Being born in the likeness of men” – translation bias 15:10 – Jesus died; God is immortal – a clear distinction 17:06 – God exalted Jesus – hierarchy and separation 19:35 – Conclusion: Jesus as our example, not God 21:45 – Adam vs. Jesus – the contrast in seizing equality 23:33 – Final summary and call to follow Jesus [embedyt] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6tXjbQN_UMY[/embedyt] **Closing Statement** We are a Christadelphian team, Brothers and sisters of Christ, and we're passionate about delivering powerful, Scripture-based content to strengthen and inspire your faith journey.
