@@DasWortwurdeFleisch Ephesians 6 talks about spiritual warfare yes. To put own the full armor of God. To stand firm from the schemes of the Devil.

That what the logic of scripture “obviously” teach.

The problem with the attributes of human nature is this: - The attributes of Adam's human nature before sin were purity and immortality; - These attributes are totally different from men who suffer from all disease and finally death! What nature are we referring to with regard to Christ?

The problem with Chalcedon it is makes it sound like Jesus did miracles by his own attributes of deity. But Scripture does not bear this out. The book of John illustrates that Jesus did miracles by the Father dwelling in him in the power of the Holy Spirit. This is why Jesus did no miracles in his childhood, or early adult life. It was after the Holy Spirit came upon him that the miracles started. Hope that helps.

IN other words, Jesus was God in his identity of the Word, Logos, who was made flesh. His miracles were by the Holy Spirit, the Father doing his work through him. So he was deity in flesh, but his miracles were from the Father. Otherwise he would have invariably glorified himself, which he could not do, being the perfect man.

The Word Made Flesh. For how many modus operandi can it occur? We know one: The Virgin Mary conceived of the Holy Spirit; But... will there be another or other processes? If there are, they are not described in the Bible. Jesus well warned the disciples that he still had much to say to them, but that they still could not bear it!

The “Christology” we have is nothing more than an “Introduction to Christology”! And why? Because there is fundamental information that is not known and the few that can be found in the Bible are misinterpreted (for example: Revelation 5). The Christology that exists only deals with the role of Jesus. There is nothing about man's role in this salvation! And notice one thing: isn't Jesus a man? Why? Isn't it because there is a field of interpenetration between man and God? This idea that men are just an army of “miserable sinners” is false because it is enough for a man to have once been absolutely holy!

The Reformation accomplished two things. First, it broke the bondage of the Roman church, for which I am personally very grateful. Second, it broke the bond of the Holy Spirit, for which I am heart broken. Where does the 2 volume Institutes leave us? 1 Corinthians 2:1 et seq.

John 1:14 " The word BECAME flesh and we had a view of his glory, a glory of an ONLY BEGOTTEN SON from the Father & he was full of undeserved kindness and truth". 'Became' Greek 'Ginomai' Same word in John 2:9 "The water BECAME wine". It wasnt water that 'appeared to be like' or 'was still water but was clothed with wine' it WAS wine! Thus the non biblical word 'incarnation' that is a 'God assuming the form of a human, is totally FALSE! Jesus Christ WAS a complete human being, but he was unlike Adam, being Perfect! ( Heb 4:15 & 1 Cor 15:45) He is called 'Son of Man' and a 'Man' by the apostles. Not till the 2nd century was he wrongly viewed as 'God in the flesh' which wouldnt make sense if the 'trinity' was still intact in heaven will he was on earth

The objective of a Christian form of Hegelian dialectics is to manufacture a religion for all; yet, make it appear Christian to a degree. Hegelian dialectics is present in most churches as well as being engraved deeply in culture. This is why liberal churches want to bring culture into the church structure and remove the idea we simply need to believe in the Bible cover to cover as separated and peculiar believers in the Savior. John Calvin believed in general society having worth as it would defeat satan casting him into hell, though he also added Christians into this equation in his commentary on Genesis chapter 3. Calvin did deny Jesus Christ in this eventuality, being a blasphemer of Almighty God and a false prophet. No surprise here! Because Calvin believed in this soon occurrence, true Calvinists believe satan is in hell today and society is relevant to Christianity. Rick Warren’s religion teaches this as well within his “paradigm shift.” Warren is pro-homosexuality and every evil thing under the sun. He stands with homosexuals assisting him in escorting peace to the earth-a false “kingdom Now” phenomenon of ecumenicalism of so-called believers who reject much in the way of Biblical truths. Georg Wilhelm Hegel (1770-1831) was about replacing something old with something new. Today it is equated to “e.g., capitalism with communism or Marxism, traditional Bible doctrine with theological modernism, a traditional educational system based on moral absolutes with a new one based on relativism, an old age with a new age, etc.” Of course this is not new and we read in Ecclesiastes how silly society was in Solomon’s day-always seeking something new, saying come here; this is new or that is new. Of course, this all arises from the pit of hell. Confronting sin is certainly set apart within the Hegelian mind-set which is now running amok in fellowships. And it sets forth a religion of confusion and God is not a God of confusion. He is a God of never-changing ancient truths. If people want God’s perfect peace they rest in the Scriptures alone, and do not run here and there seeking to be in style or culturally acceptable within satan’s deadly grasp. I will add, true believers who do not conform to the churchy form of Hegelian dialectics, are usually pushed out of the church, though they are sometimes offered warnings previous to. Of course, God commands Christians to not conform to any aspect of this satanic heresy, which is mainly produced by pastors who want their churches on the map for fame-sake and lucre-sake.

The word made flesh hard to pathom the meaning of the word_ a mystery. Not unless another revelation from God to unlock who really Jesus is. Christology has a multi faceted intterpretations coming from various Christian denominations. Left and right, if we are interested in the subject, we are bombarded with different variants of ideas seemingly twisting our understanding of who really Jesus is. Excuse myself of telling my version of Christology. I stick to the definition of my God in the old testament. In the good old book the concept of God is clear as crystal, God is pure spirit. It further stressed that God could not be delivered by a woman. Does this statement disqualify Jesus??? Absolutely yes. The New testament supports this Jesus is born of Mary. In addition, Jesus has flesh and bones. One of the gospel writers reveal Jesus has a genealogy. But how could Jesus become God??? Interesting!!!! Back to the book of Genesis that man was created in the likeness of God. God could be like God but not rather God because we all have humble beginnings_ we are created. Then God bless man have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the foul of the air and of every living thing that creeps upon the earth. Man could be the Lord of the creation or shall I say, the God of the creation. Man could also be God. The blessings was given by God through Adam but he failed. He failed to become the God of the creation. That is why Jesus is mentioned as the second Adam to fulfill the blessing. Adam did not become the image of God. He is not qualified to become the blue print of the creation. Creation could not start with Adam. He is an outcast. If God is purely good then we the offsprings of Adam reflect his characterestics. No way, we are the opposite. Now in the new testament in the book of Romans states ever since the creation of the world namely his eternal power and deity has been clearly perceived in the things that have been made. God could manifest himself in the creation. Jesus said I and my father are one. We can see God through Jesus. He is God's incapsulation. The invisible nature of God become the visible Jesus. God could directly relate himself through Jesus. He is the original concept of the blue print of the creation. He is the first born among creations. With him and in him all things are. He is the turning point of history. No prayers acceptable by God when not ask in his name. Problem solve. Jesus as God problem solve. Jesus as man born of Mary no potential issue with the claim. Jesus is both God and man. But how did he become God another brick in the puzzle to be patched up.

John 1:1 "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." John 1:2 "The same was in the beginning with God." John 1:3 "All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made." John 1:4 "In him was life; and the life was the light of men." John 1:5 "And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not." Skip past John the Baptist verses... John 1:9 "That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world." John 1:10 "He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not." John 1:11 "He came unto his own, and his own received him not." John 1:12 "But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:" John 1:13 "Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God." John 1:14 "And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth." As for how God became flesh... Luke 1:34 "Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man?" Luke 1:35 "And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God." Also look to... Isaiah 7:14 "Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel." Immanuel translates to "God with us". John 10:29 "My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand." John 10:30 "I and my Father are one." John 10:36 "Say ye of him, whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest; because I said, I am the Son of God?" John 10:37 "If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not." John 10:38 "But if I do, though ye believe not me, believe the works: that ye may know, and believe, that the Father is in me, and I in him." And again later... John 14:8 "Philip saith unto him, Lord, show us the Father, and it sufficeth us." John 14:9 "Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Show us the Father?" John 14:10 "Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works." John 14:11 "Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works' sake." Hope these verses help, and may God bless you in Christ Jesus our Lord with the discernment of The Holy Spirit to open scripture up to you in many ways. Praise and glory be to God!
