1 | Please explain | Phil 2:7 | BradK | 141485 | ||
Hi Janae, I think that the majority of the problem results from an incorrect understanding of Phil. 2:5-8. The doctrine of "kenosis" has a right and wrong understanding. Christ willingly set aside some of His attributes- as a Man. He did not cease to be God as God by His very nature cannot cease to be. God is "solitary" as A.W. Pink notes. This is also known as the Attribute of Aseity of God- self existence (Gen. 1:1, Ps. 90:2, John. 1:1-3) This is where kenosis- as I understand it- errors. Christ DID NOT empty Himself of His Deity! As a Man, He could be the perfect sacrifice for us. As God, He alone could atone for it. What other scripture would you provide that shows or teaches that Christ ceased to be God? Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

3 | Please explain | Phil 2:7 | Ray | 141570 | ||
Hi Janae, Your version of choice here does not include the words "God did". For it was God who condemned sin in the flesh. It is the the law of the Spirit --of life in Christ Jesus that sets us free. Romans 8:3, "For what the Law could not do, weak as it was through the flesh, God did: sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and as an offering for sin, He condemned sin in the flesh, 4 in order that the requirement of the Law might be fulfilled in us, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit." From the heart, Ray |
