Re: Incarnation OR Indwelling?

Fairly recently, I have come to believe that it was more of an indwelling than an incarnation.

I don't know if that falls into traditional oneness or not - probably not. I have heard several messages and discussions that talk about not minimizing Christ's human-ness, as it was the necessary component for him to die for our redemption. The indwelling concept is interesting to me in that it makes Jesus the perfect example of a human given over completely to the spirit of God. He was all God, but not all OF God. To me that makes him truly magnificent as it allows for the same fleshly desires and limitations that we have, but fully led by the spirit within him - as we should be.
