Sure you have. You said that God died on the cross.

That means that you think The Father is not God or you think the Father died on the cross.

Which is it?

That's a non sequitur, because, as I explained above, there are three Persons in God. Just because the Son dies, does not entail that the Father dies. The claim that the Father suffered on the cross is the heresy of "patripassionism", or the heresy of Sabellianism.
