do we then extrapolate that God feels pain and will one day die?

The first one, at least, depends on what you mean by pain. (A few things are shown by scripture to have "grieved" God.)

And the 2nd one is the center of Christianity. "Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures, that he was buried, and that he rose again on the 3rd day and was seen by Peter...."

A trinitarian would have to admit that the 2nd person of the Godhead...fully God (and fully human....died.

Real question:
How do you run the hypostatic union and the two natures over this? I have heard it said that the divine nature cannot die, while the human can. But then what about the "oneness" of the person?

Father Guido Sarducci, check your voice mail. "Ees a mystery."

(Are you proud of the retired part or the chaplain part -- or both?)
