| 0:00.0 | Dr. Craig, lots of good questions from the Trade United States, and it's about the |
| 0:22.9 | Trinity. |
| 0:23.9 | Dr. Craig, thank you for your work, says after reviewing your Trinity monotheism, it |
| 0:29.7 | seems to me that your view is that the Trinity, the collection of the three persons, Father |
| 0:34.4 | Center and Holy Spirit, is the only true God, therefore it is not true of any person |
| 0:42.6 | of the Trinity, Father Center or Holy Spirit, that he is a God. |

| 1:45.0 | person referenced, the Father, that he is a God. |
| 1:51.2 | That is not an inference that John draws from these verses, John 17-3 and John 2017, |
| 2:00.5 | because John clearly regards Jesus as God, as fully divine as God the Father. |
| 2:09.5 | The prologue of the Gospel of John begins with the words in the beginning was the word |
| 2:14.6 | and the word was with God and the word was God. |
| 2:19.8 | All things were made through him and without him was not anything made and then he goes |
