of Jesus
How nice that you are thinking about my well
being JD .. I appreciate the thought
Only you had better get your belief system
together and study to learn what sin is
all about because when the light comes on
you will be horrified that you ever
believed and taught others that Jesus the pure
and holy son of God was ever an
evil carnal fleshly human born with a fallen
Adamic nature just like you.
This was not a requirement for Him to overcome in
the 3 areas where A&E failed.
It can be truly said that he took our fallen
natures upon Himself at Calvary from
noon to 3 p.m. when everything went black and the
earth quaked. This is the only
time ever that there was a breach between Him and
God the Father. This should
be evidence enough of how God views sin. It
is not individual acts alone, it is us.

A good
reread for Judy. JD

Hi
Judy. I would like to continue our dialogue about the humanity of
Jesus.
We discussed Romans 8:3 before.
Romans 8:2-4
(2) For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus
hath made me free from
the law of sin and death.
(3) For what the
law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh,
God sending
his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin,
condemned
sin in the flesh:
(4) That the righteousness of the law might be
fulfilled in us, who walk not
after the flesh, but after the
Spirit.
In past discussion, you say that the word "likeness" here means like
but not
the same as. I pointed out how this same word is used in
Phil. 2:7 where it
says he was made in the likeness of men. In
this Philippians passage, I
would not argue that Jesus is similar to a
man in appearance but is not
really a man. I believe that you
had agreed with me that Jesus was indeed
truly a man.
So although the word "likeness" might mean what you say, not the same
as but
only a superficial resemblance, it also could mean the in the
form of. If
he came in the likeness of men, he was a man, and if
he came in the likeness
of sinful flesh, then he had sinful,
corruptible flesh. My question to you
is this. Is it
possible for the passage to mean this when taken alone? I'm
not
asking if you agree that it means this right now. I am only asking
you
if this is a possible interpretation of this passage if nothing
else were
considered? I am wondering if I would show you from
other passages in the
Bible that this is how this passage should be
read, if it might be possible
for you to change your mind about how
you presently interpret this word
"likeness."
Peace be with you.
David Miller.
