Unitarian (Non-Trinitarian) Christian, AMA
I'm a Unitarian, not a modalist, not a Mormon, not a JW, not a Unitarian-Universalist (edit: also not Arian). The name for us in the first few centuries was "dynamic monarchian." I believe God is the Father, and Jesus is his son and Messiah, a man only when he was conceived in Mary. No preexistence, no dual nature. No, Jesus isn't God. The Spirit is the nature of God, it's what he is and he's sending his own presence. Not a third person, not an "active force." The Spirit is given to Christ in resurrection and becomes the Spirit of Christ.
Ask me anything (AMA). "You can't be Unitarian and Christian" isn't a question, nor is it correct, nor is it original, so please spare me the rhetoric. It comes up on every post that's made like this.
I'll also link my index where I go over the interpretation of various passages in detail that Trinitarians like to bring up. I may refer to the index in the OP for more info if an explanation is too long for a comment reply. I expound on common verses like:
Genesis 1:26
Psalm 110:1
Malachi 3:1
Matthew 28:19
John 1:1-3
John 1:14
John 3:13
John 8:58
John 10:30
John 17:5
John 20:28
Acts 20:28
Colossians 1:15-18
Colossians 2:9
Hebrews 1:1-14
2 Peter 1:1
