Subject: Could Jesus sin? |
Bible Note: Hello Kalos and all involved. Not jumping in to the debate, just throwing out a comment as one who has followed and read every post. Kalos, your post here really does sum it up, thank you. 'Jesus said the Father was greater than He not because Jesus is not God, but because Jesus was also a man and as a man he was in a lower position. He was ". . . made for a little while lower than the angels . . ." (Heb 2:9). Also in Phil. 2:5-8, it says that Jesus "emptied Himself, taking the form of a bond-servant, and being made in the likeness of men . . ." Isn't that what orthodox Christianity has always believed and taught? Thank you for clearing that up. It's one thing to quote a lot of verses that seem to support a position (as some do); but the task is in allowing the context of Scripture to establish the position. Otherwise, we end up teaching what the Scripture do not. When considering Heb. 2:9 and Phil 2: 5-8 we shouldn't be surprised that our Lord was napping in the back of the boat (Matt. 8:24) :) Thanks again for you post. And doesn't that make this special day all the more special? Our Lord and God, Creator and Sustainer God; humbled Himself so that He might deliver us. Merry Christmas and praise the Lord God Jesus for coming in the flesh. Jeff |
