Jonathan, I’d be very interested in hearing about it. (Although extremely skeptical, as you
can guess!) J Izzy PS Jesus
existed prior to His appearance as Yeshua, as I’m
sure you know. For example,
remember the figure in the furnace with Meshach,
Shadrach and Abednego? From:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jonathan Hughes Hi Izzy, When Jesus came down from the Father and
took upon Himself human flesh God changed. Before this moment in space in
time Jesus was not human (i.e. there was no humanity in the Godhead).
Once the incarnation took place Jesus was human and took that humanity
(cleansed) up with Him when He ascended to the Father. Now within the
Godhead there is the God-man Jesus. It is in this Jesus that we
participate. On top of this there are many references
to God changing His mind which seem to imply that He changed as well.
Chris and Bill have been talking about God and time and whether God knows the
future. Lance referred to some authors who propose a theory called The
Openness of God. Most on this forum would not take well to this (honestly
it may give Judy fits!). It is perhaps the most hotly contested topic in
theological circles today with a mass of books being written on both sides
(most contra, not pro). I could outline it for you if you are
interested. I have spent a vast amount of time studying the
theory/scripture on this topic. Jonathan From:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of ShieldsFamily Lance, God never
changed. Do you ever base your opinions upon the Bible? God can change His
mind, but HE never changes. Izzy John
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word
was God. Psalm 15 James 1 Izzy From:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Lance Muir GOD DOES 'CHANGE'!! Novum (new) even for God:The Cosmos, the
Incarnation, Resurrected, glorified Humanity taken into the Godhead-these are
examples of 'change' and the limitations of language.
