When this happened, did not the Deity Himself become the Incarnation of Deity?

The whole Trinity?

Or don’t you believe in the Trinity and therefore God became human, as in modalism?

So you are agreeing then, that GOD died when Jesus died? Yes or no?


Before laying out what I believe or what I agree with, let us recall the words of St. Paul in his first letter to the Corinthians, Chapter 13, verse 9; “for we know in part.” Oh, if only we could have walked with Christ on the road to Emmaus, where, beginning with Moses and all the prophets, Jesus interpreted to Cleopas and his companion what referred to him in all the scriptures. But we weren’t there, so our beliefs can only be based on our limited understanding of the mighty works of God.

I do believe in the Trinity; that God is three consubstantial persons, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit; that they are three distinct persons, yet are one substance, essence, or nature; that each is God, whole and entire.

I also believe that God became human; that Jesus was the Word that was in the beginning, that was with God, and that was God; that the Word became flesh when the Holy Ghost came upon Mary, and the power of the Highest overshadowed her, and that child which was conceived in her was of the Holy Ghost.

Modalism appears to be a different concept, where Jesus is not God whole and entire, but just one mode of God. I can see how this belief would be the basis for saying Mary is the mother of Jesus but not the mother of God. That Jesus is not the Godhead.

Is this what you believe?

Why is *mother of Jesus* not good enough?

Did the Holy spirit inspire Scripture inadequately?
