Who is the "one mediator" between God and man—just a man, just God, or something else entirely?

In this episode, Pastor Jacob Jones of River City Pentecostals (Decatur, AL) dives deep into 1 Timothy 2:5, where Paul writes, *“There is one God and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus.”*

Many misunderstand this verse and fall into one of three heresies:

❌ Saying Christ is only man and not God

❌ Saying Christ is only God and not man

❌ Claiming "God the Son" was manifested in Jesus' flesh—creating two mediators: a divine one and a human one

Pastor Jones carefully walks through Scripture to show how the Oneness view of Jesus Christ maintains both His full deity and full humanity in perfect unity. Jesus is not a second person in a Trinity—but the one God, manifested in flesh for our redemption.

🔹 Key Topics Covered:

✅ What does “the man Christ Jesus” actually mean?

✅ Why is Jesus the *only* mediator?

✅ How does the Oneness view preserve the biblical understanding of God’s nature?

✅ Why the Trinitarian model creates a second mediator

✅ How denying either Christ’s deity or humanity is heresy
