Bible Note: You seem to hold that the Incarnation somehow changed Jesus' divine nature. The historic Christian understanding is that at the Incarnation, God the Son took on a second nature. He has always been God, and from the Incarnation he is also man. As the Westminster Shorter Catechism puts it, he "was, and continueth to be, God and man in two distict natures, and one person, for ever." The incarnate Jesus is not a separate entity from the eternal Son of God which participated in creation, so it is perfectly fair to say that he has always existed. His humanity has a beginning, but He does not. --Joe! |
