Original Sin: A Romans 5 Examination

Fri, 23 Jan 2026 20:40:32 GMT

Romans 5 has been the proof text for the Western Orthodox Church (and subsequently some Protestant denominations) for the doctrine of Original Sin/Guilt. However, the Eastern Orthodox Church never held to this doctrine (and also some Protestant denominations), and has a different understanding regarding this passage.

This video will be somewhat exegetical and expository in nature as we will examine the reason for the differing interpretations between the two orthodox traditions.

It is an honour to be accompanied by Mr.

Johnathan Pritchett, the Vice President for Academics at Trinity College of the Bible and Theological Seminary, who will offer valuable exegetical insight in relation to this subject.

Blood: Old Testament usage & New Testament Fulfilment

Thu, 22 Jan 2026 23:33:07 GMT

This presentation explores how New Testament imagery regarding the blood of Jesus serves as the fulfillment of three specific Old Testament themes: covenant, atonement, and ransom. I argues that while modern readers often conflate these concepts, they functioned as distinct theological categories within the context of the Ancient Near East. Specifically, blood acted as a binding agent for communal unions, a purification ritual for sacred spaces, and a redemptive price for liberation from bondage. By examining these historical roots, the research demonstrates how the sacrifice of Christ integrates these separate functions into a single, comprehensive act.

Ultimately, the text provides a framework for understanding biblical theology through the cultural lens of sacred blood rituals.

Covenant, Atonement, Passover

My dissertation discussing how the blood of Christ relates to three key themes in the Old Testament: Covenant, Passover, Atonement.

Blood is used in these three functionary ways which doesn’t collapse into a singular theme or narrative. They are distinct as blood is used differently and should not be merged into a singular theme simply because a single element is used.

The New Testament authors draw on these distinct themes in light of the Christ event.

The Divine Council Atonement

Sun, 25 Jan 2026 19:52:59 GMT

There has been much debate about the atonement, which is commonly understood as what Jesus accomplished on the cross. In this video, Dr. Agnew challenges this idea and discusses what the atonement is, where it took place, and how Christ's resurrection plays a vital role in the Divine Council model of the atonement.

The Form of God

Wed, 28 Jan 2026 17:14:04 GMT

Part 1: I examines the theological debate surrounding the hymn of Christ in Philippians 2, specifically focusing on the concepts of morphe and kenosis. The investigation is whether the

"form of God" refers to the intrinsic essence of Christ or merely His outward appearance and celestial status. Scholars like Cohick argue that the text affirms Christ's divine nature, while others, such as Hellerman, suggest it denotes a visible majesty and high rank.
