I say again, Judy, NOT IT IS NOT!! It is, in
REALITY, a thoroughly Christian construct.

Being wholly human and god ATST is a Mormon
construct.
Whereas it would be against the God of the Bible's
ways to be "fallen" and wholly God ATST
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.
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.
NO!
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.
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?
Then he's a Mormon Jesus ... who has a
problem with that??
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.
