Significance of the Virgin Birth

[101G]

That verse (nor similar ones) are good arguments to your belief system. God can be speaking anthropomorphically or he can be speaking of the soul as the personality -- of who he is in thinking, emotions, and interactions capacities.

is he?

Not sure what your point is here. There is no problem of God giving the Word, the divine person, as the spirit of the baby born as Jesus. It sounds like you are dividing things too far such that they do not make sense anymore.

no, just affirming scripture/

GINOLJC, to all.
101G is going with scripture, do you deny the scriptures?
no, 101G believe that the Lord Jesus is God almighty, and the ONLY God almighty.

101G hope that is clear enough.

You are following the unitarian hyperliteralist approach. Just because a word like "soul" is used especially of humanity it does not mean that scripture only uses the word "soul" solely with humans. That type of error has to be guarded against.

Whoever taught you that God has a human-like soul is quite in error. It perhaps can be said that humans have a soul that God has modeled after his image. But that would not mean God is made like a human.

A. no.
B. Jesus is God the Father in glorified flesh and bone, without blood.

Thanks for reminding us of the modalism that was properly rejected a long long time ago.

It sounds like you have just used a verse as a proof text without considering the various options and basis for interpretation.

However, it does not help to affirm scripture when you interpret scripture in a selective but inaccurate way. The apostolic oneness concept is rejected because it does not fit with the broad body of scripture. I'm not sure what makes you think that unusual apostolic oneness doctrine has any validity.

That's what I have noted before. You are blind when it comes to those passages. You read as a hyperliteralist that expects the verse of Jesus saying words in an exact fashion "I am God" or someone writing "Jesus is God." Sorry that God did not write the scriptures just to keep unitarians from misunderstanding who Jesus is.

Your verses about "Jesus being God" are contradicted by other things in the Bible. If there is a contradiction or error in your presentation of Scripture, it's a red flag and means that you have not presented rightly divided, accurate, information. I understand you have assigned yourself the privilege to interpret the Bible liberally and figuratively where you need to, but you were never invited to do that, given instruction to do that, nor are you following the example of how others in the Bible interpreted Scripture. Did you know people in the Bible quoted the Old Testament, too? They didn't put a spin on it. They just quoted what it says and didn't try to force a particular school of thought onto it.
