First and foremost Jason I won't to say that I love you and by no means condemn you. You are my brother in Christ and we are of the same body. Will the thumb say to the hand I reject you?
I am glad you are striving to be loving with me here. I believe (According to Scripture) it is one of the marks, fruits, or proofs that you are a true believer.
Generally the word "dude" is an impersonal and uncaring statement if you say it to someone you don't actuallly know personally. You wouldn't say "dude" to someone who was going to hire you for a job. It would be disrespectful. You wouldn't say "what's up dude?" to a police officer if he pulled you over. He probably get a little more angry at you. You wouldn't say "dude" to a Pastor you always admired when you first met him. You wouldn't say "Thanks dude" to your best man at your wedding. If the word "dude" is said with hateful words, it just emphasizes it's offensive nature of that word even more. Granted, if you know a person face to face and he was your best friend for years and you can joke around with each other using this word in a playful way, I can understand that as being acceptable. But I would not use the word "dude" even with your best friend on a public forum for other people could see it as a sign of disrespect.

Oh, and the word "bro" is another such impersonal word. Such a word is usually said to one's actual brother in love, and or with a close brother in the Lord you can joke with.
Words change with the passage of time. Yes? When my parents were growing up, they could use the word "gay" in public as in reference to one being happy and there was generally no bad connotations attached to it. Today you say that word and you could offend a lot of people. See, back in the 1600's when they translated the KJV, they spoke and wrote Old English. This language from the KJV influenced even Modern Translations that we have, too. In other words, if you were to look up the Greek word for the English word "tempted" in Hebrews 4:15, you would see that it can be defined as "tested." In fact, several Modern Translations have rendered the KJV's "tempted" as "tested." The KJV Dictionary defines "tempt" as a trial in it's defintions; And even the Eytmology (i.e. origin of the word) for the word "tempt" has "test" in it's definition. In other words, if you were to re-read Hebrews 4:15, and replace "tempted" with "tested", the passage takes on an entirely different meaning by our Modern Lingo.
Also, Philippians 2:6-9 cannot be in reference to an emptying of divine attributes but an emptying of rank or position. For He humbled himself to be a servant and did not make a reputation for Himself as God.
Scripture says He has power. I already made a list of the power Jesus exclusively had (During His Earthly Ministry) in addition to the miraculous works of the Father did within Him.
Oh, and you will not find one verse about how Jesus had the capacity to sin. Hebrews 7:26 says He was Holy, separate from sinnners, and undefiled.
as we are and we fail, Just as the OT saints failed but they had faith in the cross. Abraham failed, Issac failed, Jacob Failed, David Failed, Solomon failed. But Praise God Jesus did not fail, though He was tempted and shed His blood for you and me, by his own will though it was tested. Praise God He said not my will but thine will be done.
So you believe it was possible for the Holy Son of God to fail? What verse suggest or claims that Jesus could have potentially failed in His mission? When I read Scripture, I get the certainty that He KNEW His mission was going to happen 100%. For Jesus mentioned His death and resurrection before it happened. He said this to his disciples beforehand so that they might believe in Him (i.e. Believe He was the Messiah and that He was God).
