Subject: jesus born prior to earth? |
Bible Note: Your learned minister friend does not likely mean by "pre-existance" the thing that is most importantly distinguished from error, that Jesus Christ pre-existed in bodily form and made contact as a person with anyone at all in that state before being born in a manger to Mary. In Phil. 2 the hypostatic union is given more of a basis for our understanding. A real change occured in Christ's existance when He took on human flesh. He wasn't pretending or playing He really limited himself and did it gladly willfully. He was the only man who was 200 per cent of anything. We are 100 per cent human and so was He, but He was also 100 per cent God. Now what percent of human was he prior to the birth? Zero per cent is the Biblical answer. |
