I think you are the one who is making yourself look foolish with all these allusions to mirrors. Jesus is not called God in Scripture. Jesus is not called God the Father in Scripture. You must be unaware of the fact that the Gospel of John is the most anti-trinitarian book in the Bible. @ 20:31...

Are we in-Christ or is Christ in us?

Welcome to CB. I look forward to your cultural insights.

Sadly, I get the impression that you do not want to discuss - but rather debate- his theology. No. Are we children of God? If so, doesn't that mean God is a part of us, as we are a part of him - as it is with any Father and his children?

Agreed. The ceremony used what was common and made it holy.

Pure imposing trinitarian doctrine onto unitarian text. What construction is this 'in the form of that nature?' Speculation on top of speculation is hard reason to believe.

He named the place that but he actually saw an angel, right? I was referring to John 1:18 'No one has ever seen God.'

Odd rationalization of mirrors. Doesn't Scripture say point blank that no one has seen God?

Nothing more than a man whose lifeless corpse was acted on by God to fulfill his promise to us. See Acts 3, 17:31.

I've heard this countless times. Adding the qualifier "spiritually" is not God's word. It makes God's word figurative, which is my point.

I have no idea how you can possibly think the least precise translation helps in any way. Did Adam: A. Die the day he ate the forbidden fruit. B. Die centuries after eating the forbidden fruit?

That Jesus died is how you know he is not God.

What verse said got was ever visible to human beings? None.

Jesus died.

Most don’t realize this.

We strongly disagree on this point and I reject your accusation of hypocrisy out of hand. I wrangle over ideas, not people. Let me give a real life example from this weekend. My stepdaughters treat my wife, their mother, like crap. I don’t take the time to ‘correct’ these adults nor do I think...

At times. Daily, at times. Other times, I struggle with my ego, pride, sense of self-righteousness. Being crucified with Christ on the cross often seems far too much an honor for me - more than I deserve.

No. Just ignore the timing of Adam dying. If you don’t grasp post #17, so be it.

No. It’s figurative use of language if anything is for the reasons given. Much of the Bible is highly figurative. One example is God telling Adam and Eve they will die the day they ate the forbidden fruit. 900 years later, sure enough, they died.
