Reading your posts is like reading someone who denies gravity even though it can be demonstrated.Your altered version of the Bible has separated us sir.
An undeniable fact of Scripture is that Jesus died. This is how we know he is not God. Is it your position that God died? Is it your position that God can die?
Scripture says Jesus died. It does not say the trinitarian dualistic addition of words to qualify an unqualified fact. Jesus died. This is not the same thing as part of him died. Jesus physically died, etc.
The theological significance of a man dying and being resurrected as eternal consequences for us. If God merely came in the form of a man and only appeared to die, it actually has no theological significance whatsoever given that God is all-powerful. I wonder how you dismiss from the verses below:
- God, in his unitarian nature, sent Jesus.
- God, in his unitarian nature, chose Jesus.
- Jesus has no power or choice but to stay in heaven until God, in his unitarian nature, announces the day.
17 Listen, friends, I know you didn’t fully realize what you were doing when you rejected and betrayed Jesus. I know that you, and your rulers as well, were acting in ignorance. 18 God was at work in all this, fulfilling what He had predicted through all the prophets—that the Anointed One would suffer (NOT GOD WHO SUFFERED). 19 So now you need to rethink everything and turn to God so your sins will be forgiven and a new day can dawn, days of refreshing times flowing from the Lord (WHO IS NOT THE ETERNAL GOD BUT ONE OF MANY lords IN THE BIBLE). 20 Then God may send Jesus the Anointed, whom God has chosen for you. 21 He is in heaven now and must remain there until the day of universal restoration comes—the restoration which in ancient times God announced through the holy prophets.
