Responses on Humanity of Christ
Hi Halle Atchley
I have read your post, and I find it inarguably interesting. Thank you for bringing that approach to the humanistic nature of Jesus Christ through the birth of Jesus. On many occasions, it has brought heated debates, especially the religious heresy, which are up to misinterpreting the bible for their benefits. Indeed it is clear that Jesus was genuinely human much any other children were existing. His childhood days were filled up with going to Passover feast and sitting with the elders to learn from them. I also want to comment on Arius’s false doctrinal belief. My research has led me to identify where he misplaced logics come from Math 24:36 states that **. As a result, Arius challenges the divinity of Jesus that how God could not know his restore; indeed, this is placing the bible out of context. Not knowing his return thus means he is not part of God. Indeed his ideas are highly nontrinitarian s they go against the belief of Christian no wonder his ex-communication. Indeed Jesus is eternal, one that had existed from creation and still exists.
Thank you.
Hi Emma Aguire
The fantastic post you have there. I appreciate the new line of thought you have commenced on about the idea of humility. Biblical scriptures have talked about people like Mosses, who had a characteristic humility more than anybody Numb 12:3***. However, in-depth revelations of the scriptures tell us the humility of Jesus and argue that indeed he was more humble than Moses. Jesus’s distinguishing humility reveals his human nature in a more excellent way, the fact that he could abandon the comfort next to God to come and die on the cross for humankind is inarguable worth talking . The greatest humility by all standards to be whipped, yet you are sinless. On to the issue of Christ becoming fully human, one john 1:1 is crystal clear because it vindicates the divine eternity of Jesus, yet he touched him a proof he was just like any human. Indeed Jesus manifested himself in a human body, but is divinity does not change to help restore humanity.

The concept of Jesus becoming has been a topic of intense debate over time. Nevertheless, the scripture is quite clear on how immortal God experience mortality by agreeing to leave his every home to die for us. Since Christ had existed from creation in the garden of Eden, his plan for salvation enabled him to experience mortality by taking the form of the human being through birth phill 2:5***.
Further, Christ is tempted as a human being; as he prays in Gethsemane, he is almost yielding to the natural human desire of avoiding pain and says may the cup pass. Indeed because he is human, he battles with the flesh that is unwilling math 26:40. It is important to know he doesn’t lose divinity in all this; he is God in the very sense he is human and was, in fact, sinless heb 4:5. Instead, he acted in his will and that of the father who is inseparable yet distinct.
