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.

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.

So why do you support the heresy of patripassionism?

It strikes me that when you level the charge of heresy at those who wish to be specific about the Son, that you are quick to level heresy charges.

Therefore, Mary is not the mother of the Father. It was not the Father who died on the cross.

Why do you keep saying that they did? You clearly said that Mary is the Mother of God. You clearly said that God died on the cross.

Yet, when I say it was the incarnate 2d person of the Godhead who died on the cross, you ask me why I deny that Jesus is God.

Post #1677 I said: By definition, God cannot die. The incarnate 2d person of the Trinity died on the cross of Calvary.

You replied: So are you denying that Jesus Christ is God?

I can only conclude that you deny the Father is God (AND that the HS is God), or you are playing some silly little "gotcha" game based on the imprecision of the word "God" in a Trinitarian system.

If the former, you are a heretic. If the latter, you are spoiled, ego-deprived, or hypocritical.

Stop the silliness. Grow up.
