Bible Note: Hello Bub No, I'm not denying that passage. But how did Jesus walk that we should imitate? Total obedience to the Father. Philip. 2:5-8 (ESV) Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus, [6] who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, [7] but made himself nothing, taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men. And being found in human form, [8] he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross. Steve |
