Now wherever Jesus is there is the paradox...the tension...the scandal...the dialectical polarity of truth.
Jesus Christ is both fully God and fully human.
Now people will religiously affirm this without giving it much thought...and then immediately stumble at the truth.
If Jesus gives us His perfected humanity which is the grace of God...then we ought to walk exactly as He did...as He also said we would and should if we abide in Him.
The people who argue against the tension of the truth do so because they have but a very superficial grasp of the truth...if at all...and do deny it by lives that are lived in the flesh...and according to the flesh. Religion is as a smokescreen for these, saying they are justified by God yet living fully in their own ideas and strength. So then the very argument and opinioning that causes these to deny the depth of the truth...is proof of a human reasoning and a still in bondage way of thinking.
