Why is the threat of Hell (eternal conscious torment) one of Christianity’s core doctrines, yet the Apostle Paul fails to mention it even once? Did it slip his mind? Did he not want to offend anyone? Did the risen Christ forget to tell Paul? Think people, FGS, think . . .

If "Jesus" is a single person, but only his "human nature" died, then Jesus didn't actually die. Natures don't die; people do. If the "Person" is divine and immortal, then the cross was just a very convincing piece of performance art. You can’t have it both ways: either the person died, or the person is God (who cannot die). Pick one. It is interesting how the Trinitarian will often claim that an "infinite sacrifice" was needed to pay for sin. But if the divine nature cannot die, then the "infinite" part of the equation sat out the actual sacrifice at Golgotha. You are left with a purely human death paying a debt that the Trinitarian just argued a human couldn't pay. The Bible says, "Christ died for our sins" (1 Cor 15:3). It doesn't say, "Christ’s organic bodysuit temporarily malfunctioned while his actual Self remained eternally conscious and fully operational." If he was still alive and active in his "divine nature," then the "death" was essentially a three-day nap with a costume change. @Samuel84170104
Unitarians are heretics. Jesus Christ is both fully human and fully divine. His human nature died. His divine nature cannot die. While His body was dead He freed the righteous dead from Sheol. Then He resurrected His human nature - spent 40 days with His disciples and finally ascended bodily into Heaven.

BREAKING: Trump’s 2027 budget is out, and it’s a DISASTER for the American people. Here’s what it contains. -Cuts $240 million from the McGovern-Dole Food for Education -Program. -fully eliminates the Job Corps, which provides free education and vocational training for young Americans -A $5 BILLION cut to the National Health Institute, which guts our research into curing deadly diseases -fully eliminates the Food for Peace program -$73 billion cut from housing, education, and climate programs -Cuts the EPA’s budget by HALF -Guts NASA by 23% -Cuts nearly $5 billion from USA -Cuts $354 million from historically Black colleges and universities -Cuts $204.5 million for the Community Development Financial Institutions fund, which stimulates growth in economically disadvantaged communities -Cut $10.7 billion for housing -Cut $8.5 billion for K-12 programs -Cancel $15 billion for clean energy -Cut $2.5 billion for clean drinking water -Eliminate $1.6 billion for youth job training -Cut $3.5 billion from the Labor Department -Eliminate $395 million for senior employment -Eliminate $775 million in food assistance grants -Eliminate the National Endowment for Democracy All to pay for $1.5 TRILLION for the military, including money to build 41 obsolete battleships. This is the most regressive, anti-people, pro-war budget ever proposed. It is a horrifying, deeply evil document that hangs the American people out to dry and funnels all our taxpayer dollars into the pockets of arms dealers and blood profiteers. We cannot allow it to pass.

Replying to @alaricthe1st
And my point is this: The Crusades were a worldly, corrupt series of military campaigns that actually led to the downfall of Constantinople (given the sacking thereof). However, here is the point that, evidently, lots of folks are missing, or simply refuse to consider. These were military campaigns wrapped in the cross of Christ, promoted by the alleged vicar of Christ, and promising eternal life to those who died in their prosecution. They showed not the slightest concern for the conversion of the Muslim peoples, and only emboldened the rise of more and more errors in reference to the gospel amongst Roman Catholics. This is what I just do not understand about Christians glorifying this period and the atrocities committed in the name of Christ therein. That is why I said in the op that I really, really doubt that almost any of the Crusade glorifiers have ever sat down across a meal with a Muslim and truly and deeply pleaded with them to consider the claims of Christ, and, I might add, very few of them have sat across the table from a Roman Catholic and spoken of the empty promises of indulgences, masses, and all the other gospel errors that mark that system. There may be some, somewhere, I suppose, but all this stuff just needs to be put aside by anyone and everyone with a serious theological and historical bone in their body.
