The bible doesn't teach that Jesus has two natures, one which died while the other is in heaven looking on. The bible doesn't teach that the person with one nature who isn't God, prayed to another nature who is God. The bible doesn't teach that one nature, who isn't God, was forsaken by His Father, raised after three days and ascended to another nature who is the Father and God of Himself.
The oneness 'natures' view is a switcheroo theology of Jesus. Now He's God, no now He's human....whatever is needed at the time. The bible doesn't teach that.
The apostolic missionary is correct...."God cannot pray! If he could, he would not be God! We all know that God cannot pray to God and still be God!" The issue is that oneness folks cannot simply say if they agree or disagree with the statement. They seemingly must introduce caveats, workarounds, unscriptural verbiage instead of simply saying, I agree....or disagree.
For the record, I agree with the apostolic brother. God cannot pray to God and still be God.
