Subject: Re: [TruthTalk] The Humanity of
Jesus
How nice that you are thinking about my well being JD
.. I appreciate the thought
Only you had better get your belief system together
and study to learn what sin is
all about because when the light comes on you
will be horrified that you ever
believed and taught others that Jesus the pure and
holy son of God was ever an
evil carnal fleshly human born with a fallen Adamic
nature just like you.
This was not a requirement for Him to overcome in the
3 areas where A&E failed.
It can be truly said that he took our fallen natures
upon Himself at Calvary from
noon to 3 p.m. when everything went black and the
earth quaked. This is the only
time ever that there was a breach between Him and
God the Father. This should
be evidence enough of how God views sin. It is
not individual acts alone, it is us.

A good reread
for Judy. JD

Hi Judy.
I would like to continue our dialogue about the humanity of Jesus.
We discussed Romans 8:3 before.
Romans 8:2-4
(2) For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus
hath made me free from
the law of sin and death.
(3) For what the law
could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh,
God sending his own
Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin,
condemned sin in the
flesh:
(4) That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who
walk not
after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
In past discussion, you say that the word "likeness" here means like but
not
the same as. I pointed out how this same word is used in Phil.
2:7 where it
says he was made in the likeness of men. In this
Philippians passage, I
would not argue that Jesus is similar to a man in
appearance but is not
really a man. I believe that you had agreed
with me that Jesus was indeed
truly a man.
So although the word "likeness" might mean what you say, not the same as
but
only a superficial resemblance, it also could mean the in the form
of. If
he came in the likeness of men, he was a man, and if he came
in the likeness
of sinful flesh, then he had sinful, corruptible
flesh. My question to you
is this. Is it possible for the
passage to mean this when taken alone? I'm
not asking if you agree
that it means this right now. I am only asking you
if this is a
possible interpretation of this passage if nothing else were
considered? I am wondering if I would show you from other passages
in the
Bible that this is how this passage should be read, if it might be
possible
for you to change your mind about how you presently interpret
this word
"likeness."
Peace be with you.
David Miller.
