Trinity DebateJesus as the embodied pre-existent SonPeter is talking about the man, Jesus. Jesus wasn't always a man. What do you mean the preexistent Son isn't aupported in scripture? I just explained this the last post. When speaking of Jesus as a man, a human being, He is portrayed like He is on our level, corresponding to Phillipians 2:6. Jesus as the preexistent Son of God is shown to be the one that created all things and is much powerful than the angels. He is a personality. He preexists men, so I don't see how He could be in His nature a son of Adam if Adam is His creation. That makes no sense. Phillipians 2:6-7 Who, though he was in the form of God, did not regard equality with God something to be grasped. Rather, he emptied himself, taking the form of a slave, coming in human likeness; and found human in appearance, Jesus emptied Himself from what? He came in human likeness and appearance, from what former heavenly state of existence? Hebrews 1:2 in these last days, he spoke to us through a son, whom he made heir of all things and through whom he created the universe, This comes up many times in the Gospels. Jesus was there when all was created, even Adam. So how could Jesus in His nature purely exist as a human? He must have taken up a human nature for a time, but had existed always in another heavenly nature? Correct? How does this all not constitute as proof that Jesus was a preexistent being? I'm not understanding you. Jesus came in human likeness, and emptied Himself taking on the body of a human servant. For a time He walked among the earth like us and experienced first-hand was being a human was like. This doesn't imply that it is impossible for Jesus to be God. |
