first thanks for the reply. second, JESUS was not BORN, not the spirit that was in that body. understand, Jesus the Spirit existed before the flesh he came in as well as his Nmae. understand the son of Man came from HEAVEN, the son of God came out of the EARTH, meaning the womb of the Woman.
Now before we go any futher let reconcile what was born and who was not born... ok.
I'll go first, if you don't mind. scripture,
John 3:13 "And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven".
flesh and blood is not in heaven to come down.
second scripture, Luke 1:35 "And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God".
here the son of God came out of Mary womb. so clearly the spirit is not born, nor created.
Now, if you can correct me on these scriptures please do.
so let's take this one step at a time.
My Position is this, the son of man is not born, son of God is born.
#2. Jesus did not have the mind of his Father when he came in the flesh, here's why. scripture,
Isaiah 50:4 "The Lord GOD hath given me the tongue of the learned, that I should know how to speak a word in season to him that is weary: he wakeneth morning by morning, he wakeneth mine ear to hear as the learned. (HERE, OUR LORD WAS LEARNING DAY BY DAY, if one want's to know wre the missing years of the Lord childhood/teenage years was, HERE THEY ARE)
Isaiah 50:5 "The Lord GOD hath opened mine ear, and I was not rebellious, neither turned away back.
to back this up, scripture,
Luke 2:39 "And when they had performed all things according to the law of the Lord, they returned into Galilee, to their own city Nazareth.
Luke 2:40 "And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, filled with wisdom: and the grace of God was upon him".
ok, if filled, filled, then he must didn't have it. but do not the scriptures states Jesus is the WISDOM, and POWER of God? (per 1 Corinthians 1:24), so how did the baby Jesus get this way? the answer is in the scripture you gave,
Philippians 2:7 "But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:
that word there "reputation" is the Greek word,
G2758 κενόω kenoo (ke-no-ō') v.
1. to make empty.
2. (figuratively) to abase, neutralize, falsify.
[from G2756]
KJV: make (of none effect, of no reputation, void), be in vain
Root(s): G2756
definition #2. give us our answer. this is easy. see he had to LEARN just like us because "HE", "HE" the Lord Jesus "MADE" himself of NONE EFFECT. do you know what that means? listen,
Psalms 8:5 "For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour." NOW NT,
Hebrews 2:9 "But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man".
Philippians 2:7 "But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:
ok, who MADE him lower than the angel? Read Psalms 8:5 carefully, and then read Philippians 2:7 carefully......... (smile)
your turn. will be looking for your answer.
