TRINITARIANS, just to clarify your doctrine…
1) Is “the man Christ Jesus” (1 Timothy 2:5) “in the form of God” (Philippians 2:6) NOW?
1 Timothy 2:5… For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;
Philippians 2:6… Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:
I say YES. If you agree…
2) When was “the man Christ Jesus” (1 Timothy 2:5) INITIALLY “in the form of God” (Philippians 2:6)?
I say the moment Yahweh created the supernatural and spacetime of this universe.
On the contrary, Yachristian your Christological science is as semi Arian as Gary Mac's,yahwillincrease, and any Oneness who erroneously suppose ,"
The Father is The Spirit ,and the son is the flesh. Oneness and Unitarians alike, half baked Christology'/Theologies , carries the very same" first principle";
Two beings. One Divine/Father and one human/son, in unity and purpose, hence ," Jesus is just a man fully anointed by way of appointment with God's power ". This is clearly demonstrated in your Question and Answer. You ,Oneness, Unitarians ,and some Trinitarians obviously take," God manifest in the flesh,
in general, whereas in an ancient sense wherein adequately expressing verities of the divine ," God manifested in the flesh, is taken
atomo-ie in an individual. Yachristian perhaps if you anti Trinitarians remove the humanism of conceiving God as eternally thinking, and acting, instead of ever absolute Supremely Being and doing, you guys wouldn't perpetually Affirm what you Deny, and deny what you Affirm, thereby refuting yourself.
I answer that this flesh these bones and this blood is not
The Form of God ,but rather in a twofold consideration, The Consubstantial Logos/Word ever Conceived/Generated, wherefore temporally made to the creature, and therefore The only Begotten Son in that particular flesh, those particular bones, and that particular blood is
The Form of God.
God is not a man that He should lie, neither is He the son of man that He should repent .
Humanity is not God The Father's
Express Image ,and therefore of itself not
His Form ,oh but
The Substantial Eternal Immaterial Interior Word of God, having temporally taken upon Himself, manhood is
The Express Image and Form of God. Since when can
Material flesh and bones or a man be God's Immaterial Exact Imprint? Substantively The Divine Nature Subsist uncommingled and unalloyed in a human Suppositum/For in Him dwelleth the fulness of Deity/Godhead bodily. .
Yachristian it is quite clear that like Oneness and Unitarians ,you take the distinction between The Father and The Son to be due to humanity, ,whereas the Apostle John shows the distinction between The Father and The Son is due to God having Word internal within His own Bowels ever Begat Him/Express Image/Form of God".
Lastly,
Logos/Word said of God in its proper sense is used
Personally ,and in
Personalis signifies
Form and Image, properly called eve
r Begotten and rightly called Son.
No man hath seen God at anytime, the only Begotten Son which is in the Bosom of the Father, He hath declared Him.
