Trins say the SECOND PERSON of God came in the flesh. This is error.

I want to worship him in Spirit and in Truth.

Can't speak for other oneness here, but I for one certainly believe God existed outside and apart from (or in addition to) the incarnation.

I agree with you.

But if the Trinitarian God is composed of three persons, then only one person was incarnate. Not all three persons were incarnate. That is what I was getting at.

The Trinitarians choose to explain God and the distinctions between the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit as persons. While Oneness recognizes the same distinctions they do not use the same language. I am not comfortable with "persons".

I think distinctions arose when God took on flesh and blood.

The sad thing is, none of you know the trinitarian doctrine on any real level. You know what others have told you. This is the biggest problem by and large. Fear and ostracization keep you from finding the truth on the matter.

I love the attempts at humor. Would you be so kind if other threw them in your direction.... Oneness would mean Jesus was talking to Himself in the garden

oneness would mean Jesus would have to say not my will be done by mine

How about God the ventriliquist? God in heaven with using his "big voice" "This is my beloved Son in whom I am well pleased" God now in His little voice "thank you Father, I have fulfilled all righteousness"

Crude? Yes, it is, but it demonstrates the coursness of which most unknowing oneness folks use in their attempts to demean a doctrine they know nothing about

this is a little closer - I commend your respect and honsety! Oneness uses "roles" Both groups use "aspects".

modalists use "modes", or "dispensations"... which early church fathers to this day describe as "heresy"
