>>Jesus doesn’t seem to think God died...Jesus commended his spirit to God as he died...So God did not die...How do you explain that???<<<

Why does Jesus Call God Father? Unless, Jesus is the “Only Son of God” (Jn 3:16) If you believe that nothing is communicated between the two natures in the One Person Jesus Christ, such that God is not part of the sacrifice at the Cross, I tell you your faith is in vain.

Because therefore only an innocent man died, and the death of only one innocent man has not the efficacious quality to forgive all sins.

You’ve misshapen the word Mother into something it is not, in order to reject of Motherhood of Mary to the point that your own belief in Jesus is fuzzy. This is precisely why Christians (And we’re not even discussing Western Catholic Theology) accept the belief that Mary is the Mother of God. Because it is impossible to declare that God died on the cross for our sins and not say that God was born into the word in his incarnation.

“The Word became flesh.” Jn. 1:14. That is what that means. Jesus is “the mighty God” as foretold in Isaiah 9:6.

Mind-read much?

Happy New Year
