Bible Note: Hi ItsMe, I appreciate your patience and diligence. This isn't a test of fellowship and I'm certainly not attempting to make it one:-) I'd humbly ask you to go back and re-read what I quoted from Hodge as it should be clear and definitely aides in our understanding the issue at hand. Also, it would help me if you could answer the specific questions I asked:-) It would keep the discussion focused. Dr. Charles Hodge (1797-1878), was a professor of theology at Princeton University. He was conservative by nature, and his life was spent in defending the Reformed theology. The garnered wisdom of his life is given us in his Systematic Theology. Two matters that I touched on that need to be grasped are: 1. The Person of Christ; 2. The Mediatorial Work of Christ- Qualifications for the Work. I think 1 Tim. 2:5 is very clear. Since Paul wrote it AFTER the resurrection and ascension of Christ, why would he refer to Christ as "the God-man" if He (still) wasn't? The bottom line is this: What scriptural evidence can we provide to establish that Christ ceased being both fully God and fully man? That is the question you need to answer.
