Because he is just a man. You can cherry pick your scriptures, but there is still a unitarian message in it.

Hey guess what? Trinitarians classify Him as a man in His incarnation too.

He became an angel when he died. How do you explain that? Matthew 27:53

Yes. But they also think he is God. The "God-man." A one of a kind entity with two distinct natures. An aberation.
I'm curious if you agree with Blade, that the human nature of Jesus didn't know he was God..

Jesus didn't become an angel when he died. He still isn't an angel. He'll never be an angel.

I think He knew where He came from and who He was---The Son---and exactly what His mission was. Because something is unique does not make it an aberration. After all God is unique.

Explain it? Explain God to me.

If you figure that God is not limited nor a man, you come to a close approximation. You can know what God by what he is not.

We know who God by what He tells us of Himself in His word. But that does not explain how He is.

God as a singular Being, Unity and Presence is what is essential, no matter how you personify, differentiate or fractalize the One God
God is One primarily, then extends out into numerical values and quanities to infinity being the source UNIT.....which includes the whole of existence, all dimensions and beyond dimensions, the whole of no-thing and every-thing is included in 'God', as there is nothing outside of 'God'. - If a trinity expresses 3 personalities (also aspects, modalities, expressions) of One God Source that is fine, if such a model is useful in your 'relating' to Deity, but 'God' is always MORE....being infinite

I appreciate the concession you made to non-trinitarian Christians. I would, however, point out to our readers that those who hold and strictly abide by the Athanasian Creed don’t make that concession.
