One of the biggest disagreements between Ellen White’s writings and the Bible concerns the nature of Yahushua. Scripture shows Yahushua as having a single human nature and not a dual divine one. The WLC team used to be firm Trinitarians. It took strong evidence from Scripture itself to convince us that the ideas of a triune Godhead and Yahushua’s divine nature were fatal errors. Where do you stand?

The survey failed to properly define the question. What were we supposed to agree with? That Christ had one, two, or three natures? Was he human, divine, or triune?

The Bible makes it very clear that Christ’s nature is WAY greater than merely human. Read John 1. But does that elevate him from human to divine or even triune?

Thank you for raising the question. The survey was not intended to suggest that Yahushua was merely human, nor was it asking readers to choose between “human,” “divine,” and “triune” as though those were the only possible categories. The purpose was to examine what Scripture actually teaches about who Yahushua is and the nature He possessed.

WLC agrees that John 1 teaches something far greater than an ordinary human being. However, we do not understand John 1 as teaching that Yahushua personally existed in heaven before His birth. John says that the Word was made flesh (John 1:14), but Scripture consistently identifies the Father, Yahuwah, as the one true Elohim. WLC understands the “Word” in John 1 as Yahuwah’s own divine thought, purpose, wisdom, and expressed plan, which was brought into human existence in Yahushua. The Word did not need to be a pre-existent person in order to be divine in its origin and purpose.

This distinction is important. Yahushua was not merely an ordinary man who later received a divine title. He was conceived by the power of Yahuwah and uniquely begotten as the Son of Yahuwah. His origin was supernatural, His mission was divinely appointed, and Yahuwah gave Him authority, glory, and a position above every other human being. Yet Yahushua Himself did not claim to be Yahuwah, nor did He teach that He had personally lived before His birth.

This is consistent with His own words. He repeatedly distinguished Himself from His Father, prayed to the Father, was sent by the Father, and acknowledged, “the Father is greater than I” (John 14:28). In John 17:3, He addressed the Father as “the only true Elohim” and identified Himself as the one whom the Father sent. These statements are difficult to reconcile with the idea that Yahushua is the same eternal God as the Father.

Therefore, WLC does not frame the issue as simply “Was Christ human or divine?” Yahushua was genuinely human, but His humanity was uniquely brought about by Yahuwah and He was uniquely appointed and empowered by His Father. The biblical record does not require us to believe that He was a pre-existent divine person who became human. Nor does it require the later doctrine of a triune God.
The central biblical truth is that Yahuwah alone is God, and Yahushua is His uniquely begotten Son, the Messiah whom Yahuwah sent into the world. His extraordinary nature and exalted status do not undermine biblical monotheism; they demonstrate what Yahuwah accomplished through the man He chose, begot, anointed, and exalted.

That is the distinction WLC believes the survey was asking readers to consider: not whether Yahushua was merely human, but whether Scripture itself teaches that He was a pre-existent divine person—or whether He was the uniquely begotten human Son of the one true God, Yahuwah.
