His death was the victory not His
life.
Why then all the fuss about his human nature?
Beats me - You ppl are the ones smaking such a big
deal out of his "humanity" and I believe the rcc teaches the
same
especially since one of their fathers came up with
the wholly God, wholly man statement. Now we have to adjust
all
doctrine to fit that don't
we? Lord forbid making
Tertullian look like a false prophet even if God's own Word contradicts
him.
Would it have mattered if he had sinned while living
in the flesh? Of course it would. The Christ of Scripture is the whole
package, brother: his life, death, and resurrection -- not just a slab of
meat hanging on a tree.
He is not a package Bill. He is a person - one
few of you seem to know personally it appears. Why did Paul tell ppl he
ministered to "I determined to know nothing among you but Jesus Christ and Him
crucified?" Why was he so negligent about the sperm of David and the
incarnation?
May I suggest that you purchase and read Gustaf
Aulen's Christus Victor? The tyrants were plural,
Dean: sin, death, and the devil. Leave one of them out and Christ
is not the Victor you imagine. Bill
Hate to challenge the good Gustaf .. but the tyrant
was the prince of this world and his children. Satan held the keys of
death and he has the power over sin. Jesus came to do good and to heal
all who are oppressed by the devil, for God was with him. Funny wording
that - you would think the apostle would have said "for he was fully man and
fully God".

Amen!
Now this is good doctrine. Thank you Dean,
what a blessing you are in the Lord...

No, I
think I will stay the course Bill. The Law mentioned was only weak
in our
flesh not Christ's flesh-He came in the "likeness of that flesh" but
the
law worked in Him who was not weak. This supports my
view-disagree?
Then here's another verse to help.
Rom 5:8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while
we were yet
sinners, Christ died for us.
His death was the victory not His
life.

You might want to rethink that one, Dean:
