Let us reason together - Isaiah 1:18
First, I didn't read all of this, only the beginning, so I don't know if this will help or was already covered.
There are 2 Deaths according to the Bible
Have you looked into that, kovan? It was my first (or among the first answers--is that also a contradiction--among the first?) replies to your questions/posts about Trinity and Death of a God. If you haven't looked that up and I haven't taught you how to fish; I will now give you a fish.
I appologize for doing this because I also believe, "Give a man a fish, feed him for a day; teach a man to fish, feed him for a lifetime".
The 1st Death is physical death; what we see around us; that common thing that we attend at funerals.
The 2nd Death is spiritual death; a separation from God. Sin separates us from God. The wages of Sin is Death. The unsaved are spiritually dead.
I once was not "impressed" with Jesus' physical death because I believed that others have suffered and died worse deaths, but when you factor in the spiritual death, you see the worth in the statement of an entity that was with God (the Father) for eternity past..."My God, My God, why have you abondoned me?" You will now say, "How can I abandon myself or separate myself from myself?", but you are forgetting that when we speak of Father, Son, Holy Spirit, they are separate aspects that can be spoken of in that way.
You say that you have respect for Jesus (as well you should). Which statements are correct about Jesus from the Bible and which are not? Does the prophet Jesus blaspheme?! "I and the Father are One", says Jesus.
Do you believe that two become one flesh? This is the union of a man and a woman.
The two become one and become two and become more than two (when parents conceive children)-- I don't think it's spelled out like that in the bible.
Have you learned of the plurality of the third word of the Hebrew text "Eloheem or some such"? That word is the word for God and is a plural form, but there are many statements that God is One God. An apparent contradiction to your finite mind may well not be a contradiction to the mind of God. Haven't you been exposed to the frailty of your person? Who are you with respect to God? Yet He says, "Let us reason together". Isaiah 1:18
That is from what you said
No where in there does it say God can't die, only that he is eternal. There is a difference.

These are your scriptures that you posted are they not. If you say not then cut and paste screwed up. But see your baising you beliefs off of the islam religion and not looking for the truth in your own scripture. Oh wait, theyare corrupted, atleast except muhammad.
Glad to see you back VVB ;)
