Jesus was begotten in the incarnation (Matthew 1:18-20, Luke 1:35).
It was not a 2nd God who descended to become a Man; and neither was it 1/3 of God; but it was God.

Just pointing out that the translation in Acts 12:4 of "Easter" is not a bad translation...but of course the devil will not fail to contend against it because it is the concept of Easter (resurrection Sunday) that defeats him every time. For he was defeated not only by the Cross; but also by the resurrection.
Then how did his God forsake him if he was always a God/man?
Did God forsake Himself?

No sir. I am a "1st century" disciple of the Acts church.
I was formerly RCC then oneness.
So, is God the Son a 2nd God or 1/3 of God in your estimation?
If, He is God, how is He not the Father?
Jas 2:19, Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.

nice try
One God is Monotheism
There are 3 major Monotheistic world religions.
Do you know who they are ?

lol I have no fear.
There is One God who is the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. The Father is not the Son, the Son is not the Father and the Holy Spirit is not the Father or the Son. One God who is 3 in Persons.
If the members of the Trinity are equally separate, each of them being God, that is three Gods (Tritheism).
To have a true Trinity in your belief, you would have to believe in one God (distinct Persons within the Trinity, rather than separate). As such, you would not be able to say that the Father is not the Son, etc. (while I do believe that the Father is not the Son but that the Son is the Father; and that the Holy Ghost is the Spirit of the Father and the Son; while the Father is a Spirit (John 4:23-24) and there is one Spirit (Ephesians 4:4)).

well, imo its straight from hell, but you go ahead and celebrate fertility goddesses if you like, with ol Queenie's blessings i guess jbf, ok with me. "Easter" is just one of its many problems imo, although i guess it isnt the very worst xlation around either.
im curious who does this now, cant recall much variation there

Learn your history as easter did not begin until the 2nd century.
Passover dates back to 1200 BC.
How did they know what day it was?
Was it not the commemoration of Jesus rising from the dead?
Translating it as "Easter" in the verse in question is not taking it beyond its bounds.
Because Jesus rose from the dead just at the end of Passover; and I would venture to say that peter was not released during Passover but after Passover, right around the same time that Jesus rose from the grave.
But the devil hates this doctrine about Easter; he will do everything in his power to annihilate it from holy scripture.
Because Jesus rising from the dead signifies the devil's defeat on so many levels; therefore he hates the doctrine of Easter (resurrection Sunday).
I personally am edified by the fact that the translators of the kjv used the word Easter instead of Passover.
I would also mention that people who speak Greek in today's world, when they speak of Passover, the Greek word that they use means Easter. So it is not a bad translation in the kjv if you consider the Greek language of today's world.
