No fair! I asked you first :-) ..... Seriously, what I am driving at is that I'd like to see you expand on your answer, expounding, with scriptural references, on the "fully God, fully man" doctrine. This is a key doctrine of the Christian faith, yet one of the least understood. It is taught that the incarnate Jesus was man with divine attributes; or, that He was God with human attributes. Is either correct? What does the Bible teach? This is a big order, John, so take your time in responding; or, if you prefer, you may elect to pass. I'm not trying to trick you at all, or to scold you, but it is such a vital subject that I believe it deserves more than a quick answer. --Hank | ||||||

Mornin Hank! Well, Got up and put on a fresh brain, and decided the order wasn't quite so tall, that is if the one reading is willing to accept it. I don't think I could do to much better this. ;-) John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was in the beginning with God. 3 All things came into being through Him, and apart from Him nothing came into being that has come into being. 4 In Him was life, and the life was the Light of men. 5 The Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it. 6 There came a man sent from God, whose name was John. 7 He came as a witness, to testify about the Light, so that all might believe through him. 8 He was not the Light, but he came to testify about the Light. 9 There was the true Light which, coming into the world, enlightens every man. 10 He was in the world, and the world was made through Him, and the world did not know Him. 11 He came to His own, and those who were His own did not receive Him. 12 But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name, 13 who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God. 14 And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, and we saw His glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth. Here's just a little back up. Phil 2:7 but emptied Himself, taking the form of a bond-servant, and being made in the likeness of men. I know there's a lot more, but I think that does cover it pretty well. God bless. John |

Thank ye, John. Those Scripture portions are mighty hard to beat. John's preamble to his Gospel is so stately, so powerful, so lovely, so precious. It is one of my favorite passages in all Scripture. It's so strong on the preexistence and deity of Christ that a certain cult has felt compelled to change key wording in to force it to suit their whims and comply with their blatantly false teaching. ...... By the way, where did you get a fresh brain this morning? I'd like to order a case or two of them myself if they aren't too expensive, and brains as small as mine shouldn't be. :-) --Hank | ||||||

Thanks Hank! Yea I'd agree, John is amazing! So simple, but it carries volumes of info. I didn't really get a new brain, just took the old one out for a washing. That reminds me, I asked my son what he thought about the fact that his church was accused of brain washing teenagers. His response,-.. Wash it Lord! I need a good brain washing! :-) God Bless. John |
