Re: [TruthTalk] Jesus , neither God nor Man

cd: Jd would you say Christ was the same as common man?   It's Bill, but I would say that Christ's human nature was the same as common man -- or statements like "he learned obedience from the things he suffered" would be meaningless, or at least irrelevant to us in our state. It was his divine nature that was great, Dean, and in that he was unlike us, as we do not have a divine nature, but at no time did his divinity overwhelm his humanity; instead it came alongside and worked in unison with his human nature, producing obedience rather than sin.   Bill ----- Original Message ----- From: Dean Moore To: TruthTalk@mail.innglory.org Sent: Monday, January 16, 2006 6:19 PM Subject: Re: [TruthTalk] Jesus , neither God nor Man       ----- Original Message ----- From: Taylor To: TruthTalk@mail.innglory.org Sent: 1/16/2006 7:34:30 PM Subject: Re: [TruthTalk] Jesus , neither God nor Man Luke writes that Jesus was born of the fruit of David's genitals (Act 2.30): hence he was not some kind of new humanity, freshly brewed with new material, unrelated to fallen humankind; No, he is human like David was human, born on our side of the fall.   And to the naysayers Jesus said, "Before Abraham was, I AM"; hence Jesus pre-dated even Abraham, David' predecessor. But it was not his humanity which pre-dated David; it was his divinity. And notice: he did not say that his Father was the I AM, and that he was copying him. No, Jesus said that he (and this before his glorification) is I AM; that is, Yahweh, the LORD who covenants with Abraham.    Jesus is FULLY GOD and fully man, two realities in one person, united -- but make him anything less than God or anything more than man and you are courting a demon, who is powerless to save you.   Bill  cd: Jd would you say Christ was the same as common man? -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by Plains.Net, and is believed to be clean.
