Of course John 1:1 & 14 are teaching that God came in the flesh. Trinitarians and Oneness people affirm that Jesus is God in the flesh. What Oneness people do not affirm is that the Word was with God in a personal sense--face to face. Oneness people believe that the Word was a plan or idea of God.

Please explain the verse the in the beginning was the word and the word was with god and the word was god. and the word became flesh..... Does that not just say that God became flesh??? if the word was god and that word became flesh??? My friend be open and honest and tell me what that means in reality? not in terms of oneness or trinity terms but in terms of what is the "truth"??

They often critique Trinitarian theology on the point of the Father sending the Son. They say, "What kind of Father would make his son give his life to save someone else? A real Father would come himself."

They say these things believing that they have the true revelation of the godhead.

But if God reveals Himself as one being in three persons, it would be idolatry to create our own image of God and refuse to worship Him as He reveals himself.

I once heard a UPC pastor say, "If I get to heaven and God is a Trinity, I'm leaving." How very true--but he won't be leaving on his own accord, he'll be leaving because the Father will say, "Depart from me, I never knew you."

I recently expressed to a Oneness Pastor how they missed the beauty of the Trinity by missing the great love the Father had for us to give up the Son of His Love for us rotten sinners. Tragically the response I recieved was this..."I don't want some God who did not have the guts to come die for me but sent His son." What a sad comment...I felt like crying, God have mercy on his soul!

Actually my friend, when Stephen looked to heaven and saw the Son sitting at the right hand of God, he called out, (Acts 7:59 ESV) "Lord Jesus, receive my spirit." 60And falling to his knees he cried out with a loud voice, "Lord, do not hold this sin against them." And when he had said this, he fell asleep.

Ron Rhodes in arguing for the Trinity and the Divinity of the Son against Jehovah's Witness teaching, says that Stephen was praying to Jesus.

THIS MEANS OUR VERY LIVES, now and after death.
John 14:28 Jesus said "the Father is greater than I am."
John 1:18 "No one has seen God at ANY TIME." Jesus was seen by many while he was on earth and when he assended.
Colossians 1:15 Says Jesus "is the image of God," and, "first born of creation," and, "the beginning."
Rev. 22:13 Jesus says "he is the beginning and the end."
ALMIGHTY GOD has no beginning, he created Jesus, who stated he (Jesus) is the beginning.
Jesus said the "Father is greater than I am," Bible says "no one has seen God at ANY TIME," Jesus is "image of God, first born of creation, and the beginning." How can Jesus be God. God gave us a very simple example: Father and Son. Take a look at any human Father and Son, they are made of the same stuff, but 2 very different beings.PLUS
TRINITY-Athanasian Creed. IS NOT IN THE BIBLE ANYWHERE. ADDING TO THE BIBLE(SEE BELOW). It is man made from the 4th Century, by MAN. If you read it, you can easily see it contradicts itself over an over. Read Athanasian Creed at this site. http://search.yahoo.com/search?p=athanasian+creed&fr=yfp-t-501-s&toggle=1&cop=mss&ei=UTF-8
We are warned very clearly at Matt 15:9 "It is in vain they keep worshiping me, because they teach COMMANDS OF MEN, AS DOCTRINES."
John 17:3 "THIS MEANS EVERLASTING LIFE, their taking in knowledge of you, the only true God, and of the one whom you sent forth Jesus."
Matt 24:36 Concerning that day and hour nobody knows, neither the angels of the heavens nor the Son, but only the Father." Cannot be the same being, only Father knows.
Rev. 22:18 If anyone adds things to the Bible "God will add to him the plagues."
Rev 22:19 Jesus says "if anyone takes anything away from the words of the scroll, God will take his portion away from the tree of life." ALL COMES FROM THE BIBLE FOR ANYONE TO SEE AND READ.

You say that there is no way oneness Theology can reconcile John chapter 17. I have found that reason, and have released the information in my book: "The Timelesss Age of God."

(1) God dwells outside of creation and is timeless. Therefore, He always exists as the BEGINNING and ENDING of all things.

(2) The Son of Man ascended outside of creation,into the Spirit of the Timeless God

(3) Because of this truth, God gave Jews traditions of the Son of Man's "pre-existence" and "ever-presence" in heaven

(4) Jesus believed in these traditions, and incorporated them in His prayer in John 17. If you read carefully, He also says that God HAD given the apostles to Him "out of the cosmos." This reflects the belief that the saints of God would also ascend into this timeless domain of God.

P.S. Even if you do not post this comment, you should read this book, in order to be informed of an additional, historic belief (called the doctrine of "two aeons" in Kittles, and the "Aperion" by Greeks, and the "Olam Habba" by Jews.
