The Biblical Roots Podcast
This is a Bible-based, Christ-focused theology and apologetics podcast hosted by Professor R. L. Solberg. We talk theology and apologetics, test the claims of questionable teachers, and offer a range of Bible teachings, including verse-by-verse Bible studies.
The Biblical Roots Ministries is all about helping believers stay grounded in the truth of Scripture. Founded by Professor R. L. Solberg, our Christ-centered ministry is dedicated to creating faithful, Bible-based content that deepens your understanding of God’s Word and equips you to discern false teachings. We do this in two ways:
1. Dismantling false teachings – We take a systematic approach to breaking down ideas that challenge the sufficiency of Christ (2 Cor. 10:5), clearing away myths and misconceptions so believers can stand firm in the truth.
2. Building biblical literacy – Through Bible studies and teachings on biblical theology, interpretation (hermeneutics), and Bible history, we help believers dive deeper into Scripture and better understand it in its proper context.

Is the Trinity a Man-made Doctrine? Testing Tom Bradford
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this video, Dr. R. L. Solberg carefully examines Tom Bradford's teaching on the Trinity and compares it to the teaching of Scripture. Bradford argues that the traditional doctrine of the Trinity developed later in church history and does not accurately reflect the biblical picture of God. But is that claim supported by the Bible?
We'll examine key passages from both the Old and New Testaments, explore what Christians have historically meant by the doctrine of the Trinity, and test Bradford's claims against the biblical text itself. Along the way, we'll discuss the deity of Christ, the eternal Sonship of Jesus, the incarnation, adoptionism, modalism, and why precise theological language matters.
This study is not about attacking people. It's about following the Berean principle of testing every teaching against Scripture.
