it is a consistent subject: Christ.

if you believe in the deity of Christ you should recognize that statement as blasphemy, bro. it is amazing, and quite sad, that so few recognize it as such. am i wrong @cv5 ?? why did we become equipped for this? to strengthen the beloved.

sorry, but saying Christ remained God but became not-God is complete malarkey. however popular that view is in the modern Laodecian vomit church, it remains error. He did not 'need' to do anything. He did things for our benefit. always take the highest view possible of Christ, not the lowest...

Satan tested - not tempted, look at the Greek and at James 1:13 - he tested Christ because Satan is not omniscient and thought Jesus was only a second Adam. Satan was unable to deceive the first Adam but was able to coerce him through attacking his wife. he probed for weakness in Christ and...

if you don't believe He is at all times fully God, i rather think you are the one who does not believe in the orthodox doctrine of the hypostatic union...

@Genez how many witnesses do you want to see? :)

this doesn't say He ceased being God. it says He 'made Himself of no reputation' - setting aside His glory. the context (see verse 5 you omitted) is that we should have the same mind. does that mean you are commanded to cease to be human? no. it does not. my apologies for presuming you knew...

John 8:58 before Abraham was, I AM Revelation 1:17 I AM the First and the Last

He does not cease to be fully God by being fully man.

it is God, not man, Who says "I will take away iniquity" - and it is God Who does it :) Zechariah 3:9 For behold, the stone That I have laid before Joshua: Upon the stone [are] seven eyes. Behold, I will engrave its inscription,' Says the LORD of hosts, ' And I will remove the iniquity of that...

this cannot be the case. this narrative is contrary to scripture, you've got Adam deceived thinking God had lied and Satan had told the truth. 1 Timothy 2:14 Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived, fell into transgression.

no mere man can by their death make atonement for the sins of the world. if this were the case the cross is human sacrifice, like to Molech, which is detestable. you might as well say Christianity is Baal worship.

standard Hebrew betrothal ceremony language. the Groom defers all questions about the timing of the snatching away of the Bride to the Father. Peter did not lie when he said "LORD You know all things"

i believe fully in the hypostatic union. what i do not believe in is a version of it in which He must be stripped of deity in order to add humanity to Himself. there is no kenosis - He set aside His glory, the train that filled the temple, not His divine power or personhood. what He emptied...

A if we will never experience sinless humanity there is no such thing as salvation. you don't have to be God to be pre-fall Adam.

No, but His humanity is not at the expense of His deity. Jesus Christ is never not God. He is always God.

God told him, "because you listened to the voice of your wife" clearly they spoke after she ate. at the time of that conversation: she had sinned. she was separated from the presence of God, and he had not sinned, and was not separated from His presence. she had been deceived, and he had...

tell me more about the awe you feel considering God forsaking Himself.. ? or is it awe that this very nice man was without cause completely forsaken by God for a couple hours? if you drop His deity, the cross is powerless to save. if you remember His deity, it is impossible that He is forsaken...

Really. Poor Jesus, forsaken. How pitiful. Remember how much God suffered for you, poor God. Be a better person. tithe. i bet that is exactly the theme of every Ishtar sermon you have heard for the last 20 years.

Christ is God 2 Timothy 2:13 He cannot deny Himself. Isaiah 53:4 Surely He has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows; yet we esteemed Him stricken, smitten by God, and afflicted. please Notice Isaiah says we thought He was smitten by God, the implication being that we were dead wrong...
