The so called death blow to Oneness:Love

*Faithful witness* has on his blog a title to an article he wrote, which I have heard for many years before he came along and have actually had interaction with the so called "death blow" he says refutes the biblical Oneness doctrine. He says that God is Love and has love, so that there must have been someone with him for him to love meaning: "the eternal son." so that this refutes Oneness doctrine, well, there are many other things God is, that he does not need other persons of himself for!Such as, he is also the word of life,and eternal life(1st John 1:1) but there was nobody there for God to give eternal life to, unless he wants to count the son.

That was a complete non answer. Is that the best you can muster? The word life in that text is not an attribute of God. God is life in the sense that He is eternal. The text is in reference to what is created, not Himself.

Keep trying. A loving unitarian god logically and biblically cannot exist. God cannot be reliant on creation to display His attributes or His state of being, ie; God is love.

There is no need for me to "keep trying"! The passage says: eternal life is with(pros *grk*)him.(1st. John 1:1) If this is an attribute then the word, is an attribute and then Love is also an *attribute* which they are! God is Love, God is eternal life! you have refuted your own argument!
