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.
