I was not implying anything like that. Is He God
or isn't He?
Judy, you are not the Holy Spirit.
Bill
What do you think the Holy Spirit is Bill?
You don't understand Him do you?
It was his divine nature that was great,
Dean, and in that he was unlike us, as we do not have a divine
nature,
Anyone who has been born
of the Spirit is well on the road to becoming a partaker of the
divine
nature Bill see 2 Pet
1:14, 2 Cor 3:18, Heb 12:10.
Judy, we are humans beings indwelt with the
Holy Spirit, but we are not God, which is what I mean when I speak of
Jesus' divine nature: he was/is God -- and that, my dear, is an infinite
difference.

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.
What things do you know that
He suffered that are relevant to our state
Bill? Do you know that he
was ever sick or infirm
because of generational curses? Oppressed by demons.
Depressed?

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

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.
