Re: [TruthTalk] Something to think about

I assure you (perhaps a Mormon could intervene on Judy's behalf) that the statement in caps is NOT the Mormon position. It is, in reality, the position held by believing Christians for some 2,000 years.  ----- Original Message ----- From: Judy Taylor To: TruthTalk@mail.innglory.org Cc: TruthTalk@mail.innglory.org Sent: January 19, 2006 10:29 Subject: Re: [TruthTalk] Something to think about They do, their stance is that man is progressing toward godhood as they do what the church says and that basically God is a man from the planet Kolob.  Where in the Bible are we told that    JESUS IS WHOLLY GOD AND WHOLLY HUMAN SIMULTANEOUSLY.   This is a human construct; the scriptures themselves teach that he layed aside some things and became a little lower than the angels which is hardly "wholly God" and during his earthly ministry he claimed to have come from "heaven" which is hardly "wholly human" and earthly or of the earth.   On Thu, 19 Jan 2006 10:15:07 -0500 "Lance Muir" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: NO! From: Judy Taylor   Isn't this a form of what the Mormon Church teaches Lance?  Theirs is a flesh religion and they have no problems with purity and holiness Same with the so called "Church fathers" or patriarchs who came up with the pronouncements this generation mindlessly parrots.  By the time they began holding these ecumenical councils and writing their creeds the professing Church (or embryonic rcc) was already off into darkness.   On Thu, 19 Jan 2006 09:44:27 -0500 "Lance Muir" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: Help me out Judy. Are you meaning to say that if Jesus is wholly human and wholly divine simultaneously then, he is a Mormon Jesus? From: Judy Taylor   Then he's a Mormon Jesus ... who has a problem with that??   On Thu, 19 Jan 2006 09:19:52 -0500 "Lance Muir" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: Jesus is neither unambiguously human with our humanity nor unambiguously God with God's divinity. This would make Jesus some 'third thing'. (Arianism)   Sometimes you will hear people say 'Jesus is human all right but, he's more than human. That which is more than human isn't human. That which is less than God isn't God. So, said the Arians, Jesus is more than human but less than God.   JESUS IS WHOLLY GOD AND WHOLLY HUMAN SIMULTANEOUSLY.
