The following article by Anthony Buzzard is from the July 2010 issue of Focus on the Kingdom. He quotes from A Theology of the Jewish-Christian Reality by Paul van Buren, p. 79-83.
“In the beginning was the Word; the Word was in God’s presence, and the Word was God. He was present to God in the beginning. Through Him all things came into being, and apart from him nothing came to be.”

This is from the 21st Century Reformation website:
Anthony Buzzard gives an extraordinary presentation to a conference of Bible students in Tennessee. Professor Buzzard gives a succinct evaluation of five prevailing views regarding Jesus Christ. He leads us through a consideration of the: (1) Trinitarian view; (2) the Arian view; (3) Binitarianism; (4) Oneness and (5) the “One God” view. In the end, Anthony makes a persuasive case for “View No. 5″: that Jesus is the Christ of God, God’s literally begotten human Son. Anthony Buzzard’s “Five Options in Christology” has been one of the most popular features presented on 21stcr.org. It is too good to miss.

Joel Hemphill was a presenter/speaker at this year’s 19th Annual Theological Conference held in Atlanta, GA 4/25-4/28. Joel did a terrific presentation on the need for “Removing Greek Philosophy From Christianity“. If you’d like to view a video of it recorded there at the conference, you can watch it for free at Dan Gill’s wonderful 21st Century Reformation website: http://21stcr.org/multimedia/removing_greek_philosophy/removing_greek_philosophy.html. On that same page you’ll find a down-loadable PDF version of another one of Joel’s tracts - this one about some “Shocking Admissions” from various Trinitarian scholars. I like it so much, I thought I’d publish it here in the KR blog. I hope you enjoy as well.
Shocking Admissions
“Facing The Truth Regarding
The Doctrine of The Trinity”
by Joel Hemphill
Dear Friend:
The Heir To David’s Throne
It is amazing that most people who call themselves “Christian” don’t actually know what the word means. A “Christian” is a follower of Christ, but like most people, I did not know what the word “Christ” meant for many years. Like some, I assumed that it was part of his name. Others know that it is a title, but don’t know exactly what it means. The fact is, however, that the word Christ comes from the Greek word christos, which means “anointed one.” It is the Greek equivalent of the Hebrew word, mashiyach from which we get our English word, Messiah. The titles Messiah and Christ mean exactly the same thing: an anointed one.
One of the speakers at this year’s 19th Annual Theological Conference in Atlanta GA (4/25-4/28/10) was Kermit Zarley who was formerly known on the web (and covered here quite a bit on Kingdom Ready) as “Servetus the Evangelical”. Kermit Zarley has been a professional golfer for over 28 years (18 regular tour, 10 Senior tour) and has also been a life-long student of the Bible. He has participated in, established, and led bible study groups on the PGA tour for several decades. He has written quite a few books over the years which include works such as The Gospel, The Gospels Interwoven, Palestine is Coming, and The Third Day Bible Code.
I’ve been wanting to do this post for a couple of weeks now, but somehow could never find the time to get it totally finished until today. I hope my fellow posters here on KR won’t mind if I go out of turn. Just think of this as my long lost “Saturday” post. 
The Trinity brings out an Ugly Spirit!

Recently I traveled to Atlanta, GA to attend the 19th annual Theological Conference put on by Anthony Buzzard’s “Restoration Fellowship” and The Church of God of Abrahamic Faith’s – “Atlanta Bible College”. The conference was a truly wonderful experience and I am already looking forward to going to it again in 2011 for what will be the 20th year. Hopefully sometime in the not so distant future, I’ll post my own little review of the speakers & events here on the kingdomready blog.
Jesus Had To Be A Man
This is not meant to be an exhaustive consideration of this topic. I refer you to other Biblical Unitarian writers, all of whom back up from Scripture their view that Jesus is the Son of God and not God. It is important to recognize who he is, since his identity as the promised Messiah is part of the Gospel of the coming Kingdom, the acceptance of which is the key to eternal life.
History and Development
Jesus claimed to be the Son of God and not God the Son. His belief about God reflected the central tenet of Jewish faith, that God is One.
Where is the Proof?
Trinitarians know that the word Trinity does not appear in the Bible. When this is pointed out, they will sometimes respond that this doesn’t prove anything because, “The word ‘Bible’ isn’t in the Bible either!” But in fact the word Bible is from the Greek word biblos meaning ‘book’ and does in fact appear in the Bible, referring to the written Scriptures. Yet, even if that word weren’t used, the idea of written Scriptures is certainly present, and described by other good words, such as “scripture,” “writing,” and the oft-repeated phrase, “It is written.”
