Something else we should consider Kevin is James 1:13
"God can not be tempted with evil" whereas Matt 4:1,
Mk 1:13 and Lk 4:2 all document how the man Jesus was tempted of the devil
for 40 days in the wilderness. What I am saying
has nothing to do with logic, philosophy, or the tradition of men. What I
am saying is that when we impose our own doctrine tradition, and/or orthodoxy on God's Word we make it contradictory
..... and my question to you is: How can the fulness of the Godhead bodily be tempted with
evil???

Judy Taylor wrote:Yes because it is in the resurrected Christ that the "fullness of the Godhead bodily dwells" and believers are madecomplete in Him. During his earthly ministry Jesus was one with the Father who annointed Him with the fullness of theSpirit but He was not walking in God's fullness as an independent entity. jufytOn Fri, 18 Nov 2005 06:46:09 -0800 Dave Hansen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes:DAVEH: Do you believe Jesus is fully God now?
Judy Taylor wrote:My belief DaveH is that according to scripture the Godhead consists of God the Father, God the Word,and God the Holy Spirit. The man Jesus is God the Word who by the eternal Spirit was born into a body offlesh and blood in the likeness of man. I have never stated that Jesus during his earthly ministry was "fullyGod" because scripture tells us that He (Jesus) layed aside the glory He had with the Father and emptiedHimself so that He might come here as an example for us of how we should walk. If He came as "fully God"then being conformed to His Image would be an impossibility for us mere mortals since God is transcendent.But He knows our frame. judytOn Thu, 17 Nov 2005 23:00:30 -0800 Dave Hansen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes:DAVEH: Do you believe Jesus is currently fully God? I'm rather interested in knowing when you think Jesus became fully God, Judy. My reason for asking is because I'd like to know if you think there is (or was) ever a time when one could view the face of Jesus and live, rather than die IF they had seen God's face. Does that make sense, Judy? I'm just trying to sort out in my mind what and how you perceive God and Jesus being one, and being fully God. (I think I may be making this question more complicated than necessary....sorry if that's the case.)
Judy Taylor wrote:Not in the way that you do DaveH, but then my understanding of God the Father differs from yours alsoso I'm sure this does not surprise you. Apart from out and out athiests everyone has a God thatthey believe to be the real one and noone will be validated until we stand before Jesus himself and hetells us which side we are to go to..~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Dave Hansen [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.langlitz.com ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ If you wish to receive things I find interesting, I maintain six email lists...
