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