Subject: Do you yet say that Jesus was just a man |
Bible Note: Hi Steve, I do not deny that Jesus came in the likeness of men. He,as I think Reformer Joe pointed out, got tired, thirsty, and died as a man dies, being filled with blood and water. My desire to capitalize Man does not take that away; I simply want Him to be recognized as God in the flesh. I recommend again the reading of the NASB and the NKJ and any other version, if there are any others, that capitalizes Deity. I know of no others. Hebrews 2:14, "Since then the children share in flesh and blood, He (Himself) likewise also partook of the same, that through death He might render powerless him who had the power of death, that is, the devil;..." Christ was obligated to be like His brethren so that He could show us the Father. He explained Him; and He did it as the Son of God. Hebrews 2:17, "Therefore, He had to be made like His brethren in all things, that He might become a merciful and faithful High Priest (see NKJ) in things pertaining to (God), to make propitiation for the sins of the people." 1 John 2:2, "...and He (Himself) is the propitiation for our sins; and not for ours only, but also for those of the whole world."
