I am a simple man. I have no idea what you are trying to say by the words you use. Maybe crank it down a notch or two out pity maybe.
No problem (unless this doesn't do the trick):
Php 2:6 who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, Php 2:7 but emptied himself, by taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men. Php 2:8 And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross. |
Here, I think it is your position, that the Lord Jesus Christ became a man and laid aside His deity?
You have also said that the Lord Jesus Christ is God 100% now. Is it also accurate to say He was God prior to coming to earth as a man according to your view?
Is that a fairly correct summation of your position?
Heb 2:17 Therefore he had to be made like his brothers in every respect, so that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest in the service of God, to make propitiation for the sins of the people. Heb 2:18 For because he himself has suffered when tempted, he is able to help those who are being tempted. |
In every respect our Lord Jesus Christ was a man like us. You have stated in a previous post that if the Lord Jesus Christ was God, He wouldn't have been able to represent us or be tempted as we are (as in the next verse):
Heb 4:14 Since then we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession. Heb 4:15 For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin. Heb 4:16 Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need. |
Does this accurately represent your view? What would you add? Is there something that you'd correct on my summation as well?
