So, I'm just thinkin' here... If GOD died and was dead for three days... Well, can the world/universe/creation even exist or go on without God? I'm trying to picture God being DEAD for three days and the world continuing on... seem impossible to me. I also seem to think that it would be impossible for God to die. So my answer would be: The man, Christ Jesus - the Son - died; but the Spirit that dwelt inside the flesh did not die; that being God, our Heavenly Father - the Holy Spirit. Oh wait, that wasn't your question. Okay, my answer is: Christmas would be a celebration of the birth of Jesus, the man; not God. GOD was not born - the man, Jesus, was born.

Rico believes that God, not Jesus, had a dual nature. That means that the flesh of God died while the Spirit of God did not.
My Bible says nothing about God being flesh, only that God is a Spirit (those words came from Jesus Himself). However, God dwelt in flesh....manifesting Himself as flesh, but He didn't have a fleshly nature. Jesus did.
Of course, by my saying that, I'm one again separating God and Jesus, making them into two beings and therefore denying oneness.....but I see the poll stands at Heavenlyone 20 and Rico 1.
Keep in mind that we are all wrong but won't admit it.

I see.
Thinking...
I've never heard of anyone saying that GOD had a dual nature.
Hmm... okay. Well, I'm not sure how to respond to that.

Ahhhhhh! So now, all of sudden, you are changing the way you say things, compared to how you were presenting them back them. Maybe some of what I have been saying to you is finally starting to sink in.
Rico, there is one problem you have but cannot get over.
EVERYONE AGREES WITH ME EXCEPT YOU!
Case closed.
The question you should have asked was, [If someone makes a comment that says, "God didn't get baptized. Jesus did."] will you believe that person is making comments contrary to Oneness doctrine. Or better yet, [If someone makes a comment that says, "I believe that God was the Father, but Jesus was not."], if oneness people would think they are making comments contrary to Oneness doctrine. You aren't even being honest enough to quote the things you've actually said. You weren't being honest back then, and you aren't being honest now. I have quoted actual things you have said, not paraphrases of things you've said, and not things completely unrelated to the issue at hand. Again, you are using diversionary tactics to avoid dealing with what you have said.

Sorry, buddy, but most of what I posted today was a copy and paste of what I said 'over there'.
The quote you quoted above originally said that Jesus was not the Father, but God was, and I still stand by that statement.
Jesus Himself said that He was not the Father, and made several references to the Father being someone else other than Him.

Again, you are not being truthful. Most of what I posted today were direct posts from over there.
And why ask the questions you ask above? I made the statements and people agreed. If they didn't agree that what I said was in line with Oneness doctrine, they wouldn't have agreed! Are you missing the posts where people are agreeing? If it went against Oneness doctrine, they simply wouldn't agree, and asking the questions you propose above aren't necessary.
But feel free to start a poll of your own if you wish.

Why don't you (H1) just post the link to the "other" conversation so that people can read it all for themselves? Or is that against AFF's rules?
