I guess Paul wouldn't have agreed with you Kat, he
spent long hours, days, and yes even years persuading
people and using the scriptures to do so
... the Ethiopian eunuch in the book of Acts was reading in
Isaiah
but the Bible wasn't speaking to him. He needed
Philip to tell him about Jesus. judyt
I learned something a
long time ago...never argue religion(s). The Bible speaks for
itself. We just get in the way most of the time! So why waste your
breath! Kat
If it is in response to the dialogue between DavidM
and me, then you should know that I do not advocate Docetism,
Donatism, Arianism, or any other
ism.
That's interesting, Judy. I seem to remember you referring to the Arian
bishops at Nicea as the "Bereans," who finally caved into Athanasius'
teaching. How is this not advocating Arianism?

Thanks so much for this outline Kats (is
it?)

You write: Jesus was both divine and human but perhaps we do not
think often enough of the humanity of Jesus. Jesus came to break
down barriers between between God and us and if do not acknowledge the
humanity of Jesus, that Jesus was like us in every way
except sin as the Letter to the Hebrews says in 4:15, we are
erecting barriers between God and us once again. Also Heb 2:17-18
states. "It was essential that he should be made completely like his
brothers so that he could become a compassionate and trustworthy high
priest for their relationship to God, able to expaite the sins of the
people. For the suffering he himself passed through while being put
to the test enables him to help others when they are being put to the
test."
jt: Just wondering if you hold to what is
known as "Orthodoxy" Kats.
"Christ Jesus... thought it not robbery
to be equal with God: But made Himself of no reputation, and took upon
Him the form of a servant, and was made in
the likeness of men..." Philippians
2:5-7
