                                            Youtube Questions.

This question comes from a  youtube video on Facebook and I have actually heard it more than once in different and various iterations. This titled:"Questions for Oneness Pentecostals." Here are the four questions;Original Questions;
1. God the father put on a physical body and "THE SON" is ONLY the flesh of The Father
2. God the Father manifested IN The Son in the same way he manifested IN the burning bush, cloud by day, or the fire by night.
3. God The Father manifested AS the son (part of him changed from spirit to flesh)
4. God The Father added a human nature to his divine nature in what is usually referred to as the hypostatic union?

Number 4 would be the closest understanding, but still none of them are really what we believe.

Jesus was a genuine man(1st Tim. 2:5)

For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;

(You will notice from this passage How Paul emphasizes the genuine humanity of Jesus the same way Oneness Pentecostals do and that Trinitarian's never do) It is always  the word:" nature." This is done so that they do not have to many persons. If Jesus is only a nature and not a human person that God the son turned into, then they do not have a problem. The fact is that Paul does say the man Christ Jesus and does not  say:" the God" because the son is not another person of God. The son was born of Mary(Gal. 4:4) and he was sent the exact same way as the Disciples who did not pre-exist their birth.(John 17:18) and it was his flesh as humanity with genuine lower mind, will, and intellect, distinct from that of God the Father's(Mark 13:32) that was sent from God out of heaven through the virgin birth, like God supplied the manna from heaven.(John 6:51)

Jesus  divinity was  the only true God the Father(John 17:3) and incarnated him from the womb.(John 3:34, Matthew 1:21) Jesus said I and my Father are one.(John 10:30) even using the plural pronoun we does no harm to the Oneness of God because it is of one genuine man and one genuine God. The incarnation is not of a God person pretending to be a man like Trinitarian's  teach. The Incarnation is One God incarnating the one man given  who was  given the Spirit of the Father without measure (John 3:34).

God was In Christ reconciling the world unto himself.( Not themselves 2nd Cor. 5:19).The  true incarnation is not what Trinitarian's teach. It is Trinity doctrine.
Jesus did not pre-exist as the word/Logos and change from one thing into another.

If Jesus is God then the word is with Jesus as God!
Jesus is the God to whom the word is with.

The incarnation makes Jesus God in flesh; to whom the word is with.
We read a prophecy of the coming Jesus in judgment: The word/Logos is the spoken creative power of God to heal, judge, and create. God cannot be separated from that power.

but with righteousness shall he(Jesus) judge the poor, and reprove with equity for the meek of the earth: and he shall smite the earth with the rod his mouth(The word). and with the breath of his lips shall he slay the wicked.( Isaiah 11:4 KJV)

And out of his(Jesus) mouth(The word) proceedeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness of the wrath of God, the Almighty.(Revelation 19:15 American Standard Version)

And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will overthrow with the breath of his mouth(The word) and destroy by the splendor of his coming.(ii Thessalonians 2:8 NIV)

At the breath of God(The word) they are destroyed; at the blast of his anger they perish(Job 4:9 NIV)

The rest of them were killed with the sword that came out of the mouth(The word) of the rider on the horse, (Jesus)and all the birds gorged themselves on their flesh. (Revelation 19:21 NIV)

By the word/Logos of the LORD were the heavens made and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth.(Psalm 33:6 Grk Septuagint))
