First, if there is a white horse, it is metaphor. And will have to be dicussed metaphorically.
He became a man forever. Bible 101, Christianity 101. The Incarnation was permanent, not temporal just like His bodily Resurrection was permanent, not temporal. These doctrines go hand in hand together. To deny one of them is to deny all of them. To deny the gospel is to deny the Resurrection. To deny the Resurrection is to deny Christ humanity as the son of man, prophet, priest, king and mediator all present and ongoing roles of Christ because He remains human, a man. It denies the the entire Person and work of Christ if He is no longer a man along with the gospel.
And alot of people are confused about this. Or they're in a false sense of humitly ;albiet sincere thinking they're honouring God as Almighty and not back down from it. I think Almighty in Heaven is thinking about that, "Oh calm down, relax and chill out, and stop saying everything about me or how I function has to be exactly what you say."
He and I have been going at this for well over a decade on the old forum.
My next post I put down might add another perspective as to just why Jesus, still is a man and never gave up his humanity. I trust and hope our good friend Seth might reconsider his position.He and I have been going at this for well over a decade on the old forum.
I'm looking forward to your insightful post as I'm confident it will be a good one.
Agreed - with the observation that HIS BODY observed AFTER the Ressurection could do tricks that before the ressurection couldn't. The holes were still there but apparently weren't leaking, and weren't visible on the road to Emmaus (since they'd have been noticed, and the pre-Ressurection body couldn't "just appear in a locked room. SO Jesus apparently was in a "glorified Body", and we'll be LIKE HIM at the end of the age, or whenever we die physically. And our Advocate (Jesus) is still completely AWARE of our human frailty, and still is in his Glorified human body (whatever that means).
Not really as it was the Pre Incarnate Christ in the OT who appeared to men as " the angel of the Lord " who on several occasions was identified and worshiped as YHWH.
It gets even better since Jesus says no man has seen the Father except Him.
I'm not saying I believe that but even if I did you cannot put God into a box by saying it was not a possibility. You are making an assumption about something God cannot be, do or is. The Son could have some sort of body pre creation the scripture is silent on that. What that consists of the bible also does not say with the Theophanies/Christophonies.
Seth please consider this. Jesus did not stop being a man or being a part of humanity even for this reason. (and there's other reasons too) but for this reason. When he comes back what is he called?
Exactly!
