I am a son of God by way of my adoption in Christ. I do feel a kinship to him, as he is my Kinsmen Redeemer -- on Mary's side of the family :>)   Bill ----- Original Message ----- From: Dave Hansen To: TruthTalk@mail.innglory.org Sent: Tuesday, January 17, 2006 12:32 AM Subject: Re: Fw: [TruthTalk] love and trinity THE HUMANITY OF CHRIST IS NOT DIVINE I took him to be asking if I think I will ever be divine; i.e., a God myself DAVEH:  No......That's not quite what I was asking, Bill.  I realize you don't feel a divine kinship to God, but I assume you believe you are a son of God.  I'm trying to find out what that means to you.  (As you know, I have a much different perspective, and I'm trying to understand your contrasting view of what it means to be a son of God.)

If you think otherwise, then enlighten me too. ----- Original Message ----- From: "David Miller" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <TruthTalk@mail.innglory.org> Sent: Monday, January 16, 2006 7:03 AM Subject: Re: Fw: [TruthTalk] love and trinity THE HUMANITY OF CHRIST IS NOT DIVINE Dave Hansen makes an excellent point here. I hope you will be able to respond, Bill. I have many passages in the back of my mind that would support Dave Hansen on this point.

DAVEH: In a previous post, you had answered No. when I asked you if you believe we have divine roots. I realize that we are not God, but yet I believe there is a relationship we can have with God that encourages us to become like him. I assume you do not recognize that relationship....is that correct? So, how do you perceive becoming one of the sons of God.....do you believe you fit into that category, Bill? And if so, what does it mean to you? Taylor wrote: DH > So.....what do you perceive to be the limitations that prevent us from becoming like God? He is God and we are not.

I assume you agree with the following..... We can become perfect (in a complete sense) like God. We can know the difference between good and evil. We can become one with him, as he (Jesus) is one with his Father. We will eventually be resurrected like him. So.....what do you perceive to be the limitations that prevent us from becoming like God?

And if I understand you correctly, you also believe that Christ while on this earth was fully human. I DO TOO.
