The Life and Teachings of Christ
The Life and Teachings of ChristSteve Gregg

In this teaching, Steve Gregg discusses various topics related to Jesus and the Father, the Trinity, miracles, and the meaning of Psalm 82. He suggests that people may have a wrong mental picture of Jesus and the Father as separate beings, and that it is not necessary for salvation to understand the Trinity. He also explains the meaning of Psalm 82, which mentions "gods" who are actually human magistrates acting as representatives of God. Gregg encourages careful interpretation of scripture and thoughtful consideration of theological doctrines.
