Kenosis Heresy

There is no assumption at all in what I said, for when he said he didn't know and that only the Father does alone, that is totally different from him refraining from using his omniscience to reveal things to his disciples and saying "I choose not to tell you" and beside this, what would be the point in it anyhow?

For if he is God and God wants all of us to know this, then this kenosis thing would be like some sort of a senseless and pointless game.

The fact is, that in Philippians 2:5-11, Paul was never speaking of Jesus as anything other than a man in regards to his actually ontology but rather he is speaking of Jesus as a man quite different than any other in that he was born to be in the form "morphe" of God and meaning he was given authority just under that of God himself and far above what any other man ever had or will.

Therefore he emptied "kenosis" of his using his authority from God for anything other than promoting his Father and fulfilling his Father's will to make himself a servant and by this becoming like "homoiomai" other men and while by his God given authority, he was not like any of them.

For if Paul wanted to tell us that Jesus was God and then became also a man, he certainly wouldn't have used Greek words like "huparchon" or "morphe" or "homoiomai" or "isa" which translated is "equal", but instead he would have said something like this below.

Who although existing "eimi" as the eternal God, he did not consider his being God something to cling to tightly but instead he emptied himself and he made himself a servant by became a man.

Notice, there would have been no need for these other words like "form" and "equal" and "likeness".
That unitarian nonsense is such a ridiculous notion I wonder how you can cling to it. All things are created through the Word (son of God), by both Paul's (1 Cor 8:6) and John's (Jhn 1:3, Rev 3:14) accounts. Moreover how can the light have shine in the darkness but the darkness comprehend it not if Jesus was just a man? How can Jesus be the beginning of the creation of God? Heb Ch.1 plainly says the son pre-existed.

Moreover you say "Paul is speaking of Jesus as a man quite different than any other" is contradicted by Heb 2:17: Jesus was a man just like any other human being, except for his origination.
 
Of course the Son was/is aware of Himself as God.

The stupidity in the assumption is all yours .
May be you should charge the author of Hebrews for promulgating a false Christ. Put him on trial for heresy, as is the Trinitarian wont.

Heb 2:17 "For this reason he had to be made like them, fully human in every way, in order that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest in service to God, and that he might make atonement for the sins of the people."

And what does that have to with the price of tea in China ( His Deity ) ???

This is starting to verge on the dumb n dumber with your replies.

For when something or someone is said to be the equal of something or someone, this never means that they are the very thing or someone that they are equal unto, for that isn't even what being equal means, but only that they are on the same level as but not the same substance or being as what they are the equal of.

Like for instance, a woman is equal unto the man, but she is not the man by being equal unto him, for that is not what equal ever means.
The point was that humans couldn't save themselves so God took the form of man and came to redeem us. Our redeemer had to be a man not a bull or a goat. Unfortunately we have all sinned and not one of us could qualify to be a sinless atonement. Hebrews 2: 14-17, Romans 5:18-19, Hebrews 10: 3-5, Hebrews 9: 12-14, Romans 10:23

If someone is said to be equal with someone, they couldn't be the same someone but since God is unique, the only one of a kind, if you're equal to God doesn't it follow that you must be God?

As for Jesus being God, I don't want to argue that fact.

That might sound good to you, for it did to me for the thirty plus years of my conversion when I was a trin also but it is false doctrine nevertheless.

As far as your passages above, you actually chose some of the weakest to try and prove your position through, first off, there is absolutely nothing whatsoever in Romans 5:18-19 that reveals that Jesus was God or even had to be either.

For Paul is comparing the one man Adam with the one man Jesus Christ and he says over and over again in different words, that just as it was by one man who sinned and brought death on his offspring, so it is by the righteousness of the one man Jesus Christ that all men through faith become righteous and obtain eternal life

Concerning Hebrews 2:14-17, this is not saying that he made the choice to became a human being however and that cannot be proven either, it only means that because we are human Jesus had to be a human being and one by the Bible definition also and by the way, this means he couldn't also be God like you are falsely believing about him.

Concerning Hebrew 10:3-5 neither does this mean that Jesus was God either, but his point was that God sent him into the world as a true human being and with a human body that was prepared to become the sacrifice for sins and that the bulls and goats could never be.

Concerning Hebrews 9:12-14 I don't suppose you payed much attention to the word "through the eternal Spirit" and it was the Spirit that was the anointing upon and within Christ that prepared him to become the sacrifice for sins and that is what this is talking about and when you see the words "Spirit of Christ" it is referring to the Spirit by which he was anointed and not his own human spirit.


Now concerning Romans 10:23, there is no Romans 10:23, for Romans 10 only goes up to verse 21.


If someone is said to be equal with someone, they couldn't be the same someone but since God is unique, the only one of a kind, if your equal to God doesn't it follow that you must be God?
No, but beside this, Philippians 2:6 never even says that Jesus was equal unto God but rather that being in the form of God and having authority just under that of God, he never took a thought for a robbery to make himself equal unto God.

If you are wondering what that means, just look at the Emperors of Rome that Paul was subject to living at that time and how with much less authority than Jesus had, it went to their heads and therefore they began to think of themselves as equal unto God and that is the temptation of men when they receive authority and Jesus had way more authority than any of them combined.
As for Jesus being God, I don't want to argue that fact.

No but instead you want to be left in your comfort zone and undisturbed like I did also until God finally got me to be honest with the many contradictions there are in the scriptures against the doctrines of the Trinity and Jesus as being God.

Oh for certain I was truly saved all the while I believed in these doctrines and I am thankful unto God that at least for the most part the gospel message itself is still pretty much like it was in the early church with only a few false ideas added to it.

But all of the churches bar none, are all in the apostasy that Paul and John and Jude and Peter warned was entering into the churches even back then and the root of it is the false doctrine that Yahweh God is a trinity and that Jesus is also Yahweh God.

By the way, I don't guess you know this, but God himself called his own human representatives by his own title of god or "elohim" and he did this in Exodus 21:6 and 22:8-9 and also in Psalm 45:6-7 and also in Psalm 82 and which Jesus quoted from in John 10. when he was falsely accused of making himself equal unto God only because he called God his Father.

He also did this in Isaiah 9:6 as well but these are titles of representation and they were never intended to mean that those who were given these titles were or would be Yahweh God and that is why the Jews never saw them to mean this either.

NO such thing as a man born in the form of God. Any man born is in the form of a MAN ONLY.

Where does Paul ever say anywhere in Philippians 2:6 that Jesus is God? Sorry but the words "form of God" mean "form of God" and not God and if Paul wanted to say that Jesus was God he wouldn't have used words like "huparchon" or "morphe" or "isa" but instead he would have made himself perfectly clear about it by saying it something like this below.

"Who although existing as the eternal Almighty God, he did not consider his being God a thing to hold on to, but instead he emptied himself and became a servant by becoming also a man"

Where does it actually say that God is a trinity, where does it say that Jesus is a hypostatic union of both God and man?

Wow how simple, but that is what happens when all you ever do is follow the doctrines and teaching of men!

Paul was so clearly and obviously contrasting the form of God as being the authority of Jesus with that of the form of a servant, that it would be amazing to me that you cannot see this except that you are being deceived by your false doctrines and which is why you refuse to acknowledge it.


Mark 4:38 Jesus was in the stern, sleeping on a cushion. The disciples woke him and said to him, “Teacher, don’t you care if we drown?”

39 He got up, rebuked the wind and said to the waves, “Quiet! Be still!” Then the wind died down and it was completely calm.

40 He said to his disciples, “Why are you so afraid? Do you still have no faith?”

41 They were terrified and asked each other, “Who is this? Even the wind and the waves obey him!”



NIV
Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage;

The only way it can mean "nature" is in regards to characteristics and not regards to the actual ontology or substance as the nature, for the word "morphe" is not defined as referring to actual "ontology" and therefore the NIV is misleading in this passage.
New Living Translation
Though he was God, he did not think of equality with God as something to cling to.

Worthless translation, for it never says he is God and you know it also.
English Standard Version
who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped,

Very close, for he was in the form but while being in the form of God, he never counted equality with God a thing to seize upon and unlike the Emperors of his day when having way less authority than that of the form of God, still let their authority go to their head and began viewing themselves as God's equal.

I am not going to cover all of these but many of some of them are really bad translations of this verse.

Once again, if Paul believe and wanted us to believe that Jesus was God, then he wouldn't have used the words "form of God" at all period, for not only was it unnecessary but also would have made what he was trying to say very confusing also and God is to smart to inspired Paul to do something like that.

Sorry but the words "form of God" mean exactly that, that Jesus was in the form of God and not that he himself was God.
