This video dives into the question of whether Jesus was always divine or if he was elevated to divine status later, a view known as adoptionism. We analyze early Christian beliefs, key biblical passages, and scholarly interpretations that argue for and against adoptionism—an idea that Jesus was a remarkable human who became divine at his baptism or resurrection. In this video we look into the evidence surrounding Jesus’ divine identity to see if these claims of Jesus' adoption are true.
