He Was More than Just a Man

That effectively enabled him to function as though he were a human being, like you and I, with a human mind and will distinct from the Divine.

That is why I posted after you posted all those verses, that you were making my case. Those verses don't prove the Deity was NOT latent in Him.

Your Christology needs a LATENT divine nature (almost as if his God-brain was turned off) to make the words of the Son of God reconcile with your view. Hey, if your theology needs a human philosophical invention, just invent one!

Of course I can not (and did not) provide those verses to prove that something was NOT LATENT...that is really just too crazy for me to even think about! I apologize for responding to some specific aspect of your post.

Good night Prax.

Note to self: when talking to Prax always.....

......oh well, just don't.
