Judy wrote  >  Jesus layed aside his former glory so he was not on this earth as God ...   And again later she says   >   Jesus did not come here as God. He layed aside his former glory and took upon himself a body of flesh made in the likeness of men.    Judy, my friend, what does the name Emmanuel suggest to you?   jt responds: Emmanuel means "God with us" but the same scripture that refers to Him as Emmanuel also calls Him Everlasting Father and Prince of Peace.  All true.   Ah, yes, but does it mean as you stated, that Jesus was not here with us on earth as God? Does it mean that while he was here, he was not God with us, Emmanuel?   __________________________________________   jt: I didn't use the word "similarity"  I used the word "likeness" which is what the Bible says.   Are you saying that you have never argued that the word "likeness" here means similar? And that you do not still believe it means this? Perhaps I have misunderstood you. :>) Please forgive me.   Peace to you,   Bill
