Re: He Was More than Just a Man
A lot of people don't understand "becoming". In "becoming" flesh that does not mean God was changed into an object like Darin on Bewitched being turned into a chair.
It means that God has a Divine nature. Divine nature is what Makes God "Divine". At the incarnation God obtained a human nature, that which makes you and I "Human"
If the Son is just a man that God was inside of, then that man is no different than you or I since God is in us.
That is Unitarianism, not Oneness. If being INSIDE that man some how makes that man different, then that is more like Adoptionism.
That is a two person view. One is God and the other is that mere man called the Son.
