Applebees is a restaurant which happens to have a bar...as does Red Lobster, Damons and many other restaurants.
Saying Applebee's is a bar because they serve alcohol is like calling Wal-Mart a liquor store because they sell it or calling K-Mart a grocery store because they sell food.

That's their right to do so, as it is our right to frequent our restaurant of choice. I don't judge you on your choice of food establishment.
Most restaurants that are more "bar" than restaurant often say "Whinners bar and grill " But Applebees is a restaurant first. Go check it out.
People will latch onto anything to make someone look bad in the eyes of others.
Sister, I really don't care one way or the other where you eat, to be honest with you. It was brought up that Applebee's isn't a bar and I responded that to some people it is viewed as a bar, without making any judgements whatsoever on people that frequent Applebee's. I've eaten at Texas Roadhouse and it has a bar in the same area where you eat too, so it would be a bit hypocritical of me to point fingers at anyone that eats at Applebee's.
LIke I said before...you and I know two different Jesus. You do not know the same Jesus that I know. You are absolutely unacquainted with the one that I know.
Did I say that Jesus was a sinner is some ways but not in the really serious sins? No! I did not. Your little tippy toe prance might be cute, but I am unimpressed. I did not say THAT.
Jesus was in EVERY respect just like me in his humanity. I will concede that he was NOT like you. See the scripture:
Hbr 2:17 Wherefore in all things it behoved him to be made like unto [his] brethren, that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things [pertaining] to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people.
Now just in case you do not know what "ALL THINGS" means, ask someone to explain it to you. ALL THINGS means ALL THINGS.
Just in case you haven't figured it out yet, I did not say anything about Jesus having a fallen nature. Again, the little tippy toeing throug the tulips are not impressive to me. NOTHING was said about Jesus having a fallen nature.
But "all things" must necessarily include the fallen nature if you're going to insist that "all things" means absolutely everything.

Brother Strange, you and I know very well that if the trinitarian (or Chan) were to admit (not just say) that the Lord was truly a human being, just as we are, that they would eventually have to accept the truth of Oneness theology, for it is only in that truth can all of their "mysteries" be answered.

Trinitarians do believe that Jesus is not only fully God but also fully man. However, that doesn't mean Jesus had a fallen nature. All this stuff Brother Strange is trying to attribute to Jesus comes from our fallen nature.

They say He is, but they don't really believe it. When one really believes it (as in it being a revelation and then becoming a part of their belief system), there is no doubt that Oneness theology is the truth. But, to object with things like "Who was Jesus talking to?" and "Well, God said to my God" is to not truly understand how human the Lord Jesus Christ was/is.

God's spotless blood is the only thing that mattered. The Man was pure because of that pure blood, not because of something He didn't have (a fallen nature). Our "fallen nature" comes from Adam. His nature was that of the Almighty God.
The fact is that God as a man could have no fallen nature, even though He did become exactly like one of us.......in ever way except sin.
