Not one verse says "the Word shall divest himself of his humanity", or that Jesus Christ shall ever be less God than he is today right now.
The verse in Corinthians says he shall be SUBJECT, not " de-deified" or "divested of humanity" or any such things.
Why must people go beyond what is written? I never understood the need...

There is a reason why you "see" this matter differently than myself and others, causing you to question why we fail to understand it as you do, and I will try to explain why I believe this to be true later, however, for the moment, allow me to express my thoughts regarding your response as noted above .....
So, was Paul wrong in what he wrote about the matter? I gave my understanding of what he said, would you do the same? One cannot simply disregard Paul's words, you know, for no passage of the scriprures are without merit.
What scriptural explanation do you offer in rebuttal to that which John wrote, saying that the time will come to pass when all of redeemed mankind
"shall be like him" (
1 John 3:2). What was John implying in making this statement?
