God Alone Has Immortality

One thing which is stated with great frequency about Jesus is the fact of his atoning death.  But if Jesus is God, he cannot die; if he can die, he is not God.   For one fundamental truth about God in the Bible is that He is eternal, everlasting, immortal (Duet. 32.27; Ps. 92, etc); there is absolutely no question about this where the Bible is concerned.  Paul speaks of God as the One “who alone has immortality” (1 Tim. 6:16).  Everything else will pass away, but God abides forever, His “years have no end” (Ps. 102.25-27).

So trinitarianism is faced is faced with the question:
How can Jesus die and yet be God?  To this there is no other answer than to say: Jesus died as man, but not as God.  This is the inevitable double talk.  What then about the trinitarian creed as stated at Chalcedon:  “One Christ in two natures (notice how God is spoken in terms of a “nature”) united in one person….without division, without separation”?  Obviously, this dogma is simply impossible to sustain in light of the Biblical revelation of God. 

Moreover, if Jesus is God, then the term “God of our Lord Jesus Christ” must mean, inescapably, that God is the God of God!  Alas, trinitarianism!  For this inevitably raises the question:  What kind of “God” is the Jesus of trinitarianism? For God is indeed known as the “God of gods”  (Deut. 10.17; Josh. 22.22; Ps. 136.2; Dan. 2.47, 11.36), but who these ‘gods’ are must be left to the trinitarians to discover.
