[Matthew]:
Bro. Marlon,
I'm in agreement with your statement below, except I don't think it is at
all productive to deny the unity of flesh and Spirit in the person of Christ
Jesus. If we say that the spiritual reality was only God in this person,
then I think Jesus loses the divinity that was given Him by the Father. If
we say, the two natures were unifed in Christ, we maintain that He is both
God and man.
All Honour to Christ
Matthew
[Bro. Marlon]:
>May I just say that that it is not necessary for the Spirit to become
flesh.
>That is not oneness teaching. Oneness teaching states that the Spirit was
>shown to us through the flesh. Thus, there was no transformation of the
>spirit into flesh. Only, the divesting of the Spirit into flesh. The
flesh
>is a veil. Behind the veil is the Spirit. This is how Jesus was God.
>I Timothy 3:16 -Great is the mystery of god-likeness. God was shown to us
in
>the flesh.....
