Kenosis Heresy

[Regeneration]

I'm sure you did, but that's not appropriate for this forum.

First I did then I didn't make up your mind.

The church has condemned all forms of Kenosis as heresy. You are outside of Christian orthodoxy. Confessing Kenosis is far worse than denying original sin. It’s not even close. Denying the 2 natures in Christ is anathema in church history.

I think we need to be careful here, because “kenosis”, in its verb form, cannot be denied. Christ definitely emptied himself, but it is impossible to cease to be what is ontologically necessary to exist as you are. Thus, while being fully God ontologically, he also became fully human, which is not an ontological necessity for his existence.

As God, he can chose to act as if he were not God, and can limit himself to the ceiling of human capacity. The emptying is voluntary and complete, while the capacity to potentially do whatever he is capable of naturally remains intact. That which is emptied, is his right to the capacities of his natural ontological reality. That is kenosis, and that cannot be denied.

As God, our Lord lived in the glorious immortal form of being God. Being humble He emptied Himself of the glorious immortality that only God the Creator possesses and became a servant like one of His creations. As a Man, our Lord is no less God except in the glorious immortality of His form. In our likeness, He took upon Himself our humanity and became weak and mortal in form while never stopping to possess His divine nature and being God.

He became flesh-man-human and lived among us.

Upon our resurrection-adoption, the form we will take on is the glorious immortality of God, and yet inwardly we do not stop being a created being that subsists on every Word of God. In the glorious immortal form of God, our body is not weak, perishable, or needing elements to sustain its life. And we will see our Lord as He is now in His glory, for we shall also be like Him.

He became something He was not, Son of Humanity, so that we could be something we were not, sons of God.

We are the sons of the Living God through our faith in Christ Jesus our Lord! Hallelujah!

God Bless
