His argument is that Jesus is fully God, not just the son of God, which is a totally unscriptual belief. He says that God would be a coward if Jesus was the son of God, And God is not a coward, therefore Jesus is fully God, and not an individual being. He's entitled to his own personal opinion, but he's obviously wrong. If God died on the cross the universe would have ended right that instant, and we wouldn't be here to argue about it. And there would be nobody around to resurrect Him.

Yes, Jesus was given all authority and power by The Father.
You are dead in your sins until you believe what Jesus said about himself.
"I am."
"Son of Man."
He sits on the throne of God. He uses the names of God (Alpha and Omega). He receives worship due only to God (Rom 14, Phil 2).
Just because you can't comprehend how God's physical body could be killed, doesn't mean it didn't happen. For that matter, your preconceived notions would preclude deity from becoming man at all, contradicting Matthew 1 (Emmanuel, which is, GOD WITH US)
Romans chapter 14 is all about dietary restrictions. Nothing at all about our topic of discussion. In Philipians chapter 2 it says
>Keep this mental attitude in you that was also in Christ Jesus, who, although he was existing in God's form, did not even consider the idea of being equal to God."
Which makes my point. Thank you.
Romans 14:11 - praise due to Jesus and Yahweh.
Not sure what garbage translation you're using of Philippians 2, but Jesus always existed in the nature of God, but he humbled himself.
Complete garbage. You are, in addition to dead in your sins and a heretic, quite a jerk.
