Everyone's? no you are wrong. There are several here that we are in agreement.
BTW the person I was just speaking to/of ADMITTED to two persons. One God person and One Human person
How is that Oneness?
My "Oneness"?
there is One God. He is One Person. He has The Divine nature (that which makes Him God)
He became human by adding to His person Human qualities (that which makes a person "Human" or Human nature)
So that, as the Son, He was both God and Human, but as the Father He was just God

ok, i was exaggerating when I said "everyone's" I meant no disrespect.
Thank you for your explanation. So when Jesus died on the cross did God forsake the human nature he took on and then 3 days later adjoin Himself to it again? We know God (or the Father) cannot die. Does that mean for 3 days there was 2 separate persons that later became one/singular again?
Honestly, I'm not trying to prove anyone wrong or add to confusion. It just seems as though both oneness and trinity camps have issues. I just wish we weren't so hard on each other.

How about this:

2 assuming that you have heard of the stewardship of God's grace that was given to me for you
Eph 3 (KJV)
1 For this cause I Paul, the prisoner of Jesus Christ for you Gentiles,
2 If ye have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given me to you-ward: (this verse proves dispensationalism...slam dunk!!!...lol)

God chose to elevate into His own nature the person of the man, Jesus Christ, at His conception. They are one.

I don't believe the Son was literally forsaken, at least not in the sense of any ontological separation. The words Jesus said were word for word what David said when his own country men and relatives turned on him. He felt betrayed, abandoned and so uttered those words from a deep emotional state of mind yet
Heb 13:5 Let your way of life be without the love of money, and be content with such things as you have, for He has said, "Not at all will I leave you, not at all will I forsake you, never!"
David said
Psa 37:25 I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread.
David was not forsaken. Neither was Jesus. He FELT forsaken though. Hebrews says
Heb 9:14 how much more shall the blood of Christ (who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without spot to God) purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?
Till death God never left Christ

Death does not mean ceasing to exist. It means the ceasation of physical life. Human Persons die when their bodies no longer sustain life. God (Person) died when His body could no longer sustain life.
His body lied in the grave 3 days. God never split into two persons

Two persons. The Person of the man and the Person of God with the second one becoming God at conception.
They are one what?

Added human qualities to his Divine nature? No way! He would have been no example to us had he been part God and part man.
As God he was God. As man he was man.

I also never said he was PART anything. He was FULLY God and FULLY Human, meaning He had ALL the qualities of Humanity and Divinity
If you deny He was both God AND Man but just man, then I am correct in saying Unitarianism
