We need a savior who is potentate in power and completely God as well as man. We must keep in mind that it was an act of God to save man, but it took an act  of humanity to die for man. This is the power behind the man Christ, the power to be like us to save us. This is the God we should know, the God of Judaic Christianity, taught us through Christology the dual nature in the God man Y’shua Ha Adonai. The crucifixion is nothing without God holding the cross and the cross is meaningless without the Hypostatic union on it. Our Christology is rooted in this Christocentric focus on Jesus and the fact that he is absolutely God as well as man. I must say for the record that, we do not share in the views of the Arians as some have labeled us in there ignorance. We like the Arians denounced any kind of doctrine that teaches the pre-existent, eternal  sonship of a second person in the Godhead. But lets be clear on what was previously stated. We as Apostolic Oneness believers  profess unlike Arianism, “the son of God came into existence at his birth” opposed to “at some point prior to the creation”. This view is believed by them because for them Jesus in this way could co-create all thing after God had made him {meaning Jesus as a creature of the Uncreated Creator, God}. Therefore as the Arians are concerned, Jesus was created for the purpose of creating all thing and in him was the Logos. This indwelling Logos made Jesus into a sort of demigod, not quite man nor quite God. Note that this view is alive and well at this time in its equivalent form of today's modern religious groups called, Jehovah Witnesses, The Disciples of Christ and the Christian Church of God-CCG. Through history the Apostolic Church or Oneness believers have been identified as Arians and not Sabellians nor Modalistic Monarchians. This is only one example of how the Trinitarian world {Roman Catholic Faith} tried to discredit the Oneness Apostolic Faith. Why the big change in the idea of Godness? The Theological search for God became a Christological problem historically and starts with this plight from the mind of man and his inability to reason a greater power authority and being beyond himself. In the reasoning of the philosopher, Jesus became a major part of the defining of God. Mans search for God gave him a open door to stretch his imagination  and the worship of created things, nature and the forces of the universe instead of the worship of the creator of the existence of all things. This became the object of finite mans purpose for being. The Jew only had one idea in view of God and it was and still is that God is numerically one in his totality. Before the gentiles acceptance of the Jewish Monotheistic God and the reality of his son Y’shua {God incarnate} they simply worshiped a multitude  of entities, included in this Paganism was also Pantheism. To this form of reasoning,  on rational, intelligent Deity from the Jewish thought  called God existed  in any form of reasoning. The philosophy from the gentile  believes is that “all is god and god is all” therefore he {man}  is  God. The trinity is pregnant with the insane concepts of men like those at the Councils of Nicaea-AD.325 and Constantinople-AD.381. Many believers came to fight for a true biblical stand of Judaic Christendom, but the Roman influence was grate and the Philosophies of fools and Jew heaters {ant-Semitist} creped in  and not only changed Judaic thought, but raped the New Testament of Jewish reasoning. We must not forget that Paul was a Jew that prepared letters in Greek and not the other way around. So let this mind be in you, Shalom.
