A Humble Plea for Intellectual Honesty and Authenticity Among the People of God
Dan Mages
Prelude
I first want to state how thankful I am that this conference exists. I have never experienced a place that is more open and welcoming, yet evaluative and critical of alternative ideas and novel thoughts. What is even more impressive is that many people within this group are open to reevaluating and re-examining accepted and established ideas.

God's Premium on Honesty as Revealed in the Book of Job
Introduction:
Speaking correctly about God is an important issue in the book of Job. In the final chapter of the book, God said to Job's friends, "My wrath is kindled against you [Eliphaz] and against your two friends [Bildad and Zophar], because you have not spoken of Me what is right as My servant Job has."

The Biblical Concept of Mediation
"In the beginning was the word, and the word was with God, and the word was God" (John 1: 1).[1]
"God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth" (John 4:24).
The claims of John's Gospel that "the word was God" and that "God is spirit" began to be interpreted and understood at some point in the post-apostolic era as ontological statements.

The Christologies of Barton Stone and Alexander Campbell
Gregg Demmit
I've long been fascinated by the study of Christology, most probably because of the fairly unique Christology of the Church of God General Conference. Historians in our movement have for the last 20 years focused on the Socinians and others of the Radical Reformation as our historical forebears.

TESTING FOR TRUTH: A Critical Question About Your Creed
Anthony Buzzard
Every Christian is called to be a Truth-seeker. When he has found it, he becomes an agent for Truth willing to communicate the Truth to others in a spirit of love and concern. So absolutely essential is the enthusiastic pursuit of Truth that Paul wrote these awful words:

The Biblical View of John's Prologue
For the vast majority of Christian believers, the key passage of their Christology is John 1:1-14. Many disputes have arisen over this passage of Scripture and how it should be interpreted. More has been written on the Gospel of John than any other book in the Bible, with the prologue receiving the primary focus by commentators and expositors. Yet ink was not the only thing to be spilled, for many have lost their lives from their interpretation of the Johannine prologue.

THE
FORM OF GOD
William
M Wachtel
In Philippians 2:6,
Paul writes that Christ Jesus was "in the form of God," as many
English versions render the Greek expression en morphe theou. This phrase
has given rise to the claim that Jesus is "very God of very God," as
declared in the Nicene Creed, the ancient and first official formulation of the
Trinitarian faith. According to this faith, Christ is "co-equal, coeternal, and
consubstantial" with the Father, the "second person" of the
Trinity.
