Paul speaks of Jesus becoming of no reputation. But we know as a man, Jesus is very reputable. So was Paul wrong? His name remains the first choice in cuss words for every wretched soul spewing their hatred and misery. Not to mention h…

I'm talking about Paul saying [Jesus] .."made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:” (Philippians 2:7)
Yet he is the most notorious person ever to live. That's why I ask if…

The thing is, Jesus became notorious as a man, yet Paul says he made himself of no reputation. Is Paul crazy? Or are we missing something?

The question is: how does a notorious man make himself of no reputation?

What did Paul refer to when he said Jesus became of no reputation? Obviously it was his deity because it takes special revelation to discern this. And we know Jesus the man became notorious since any can grasp this with their natural s…

If you consider Jesus' baptism, you can more easily see the trinity than not. It takes willful ignorance not to see it. First you have the Son being baptized. You then have the Father's voice from heaven, and the Holy Spirit descending…

If an author writes a history book, he or she does not create the history. They only record it. And they might argue details with other historians to arrive at a precise conclusion. This is how the trinity doctrine came into being. The…

[Jesus] “Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:” (Philippians 2:6–7)
“And being found in…

I believe we should handle all that we consume as Paul says, not coming under the power of any 1 Corinthians 6:12. But people who condemn proper use of alcohol must follow through with eating disorders as well.
Whiskey and aspirin is a hi…

The trinity doctrine originated in scripture. The creeds and confessions merely stated it, unusually after intense debate or polishing it into it purest form. I believed in the deity of Christ, the Holy Spirit, and the Father before ev…

This passage might help to see Jesus' divinity. I took it from a couple of different translations.
“You must have the same attitude that Christ Jesus had. Though he was God, he did not think of equality with God as something to cling to. …

I found this outline showing the deity of Christ by nathan busenitz from may 23, 2016
In early church history, one of the biggest theological debates centered on the deity of Jesus Christ. There are still groups that deny His deity today…

The Messiah in the OT is a Divine person (God). You reject this saying Jesus (whom you call the Messiah) was not God. The Pharisees rejected Jesus as the divine Messiah. Either way, you and the Pharisees say the divine Messiah did not …

How many times have we exchanged scripture interpretations without finding a solution? I notice the same results when you preach to a choir different from your own. So I prefer to present alternatives that cannot be argued.
Thi…

We can go around in circles all day batting scripture back and forth to no avail. But we cannot deny direct parallels between your creed and the Pharisees'. For starters, we could honestly identify someone as being Pharisee like who re…

A kinsman redeemer provides a perfect symbol of Christ imputing his righteousness to those having none of their own. But only He as God can impute the infinite righteousness that merits eternal life.

God is above the Law. He is the Law giver. Therefore Jesus could not sin giving his life in place of others.

The deity of Christ is one of the first casualties of denying the doctrine of the trinity. And your logic rests on this denial. But when your starting point is wrong, your ending point can become even more adverse to the truth. We can …

Here's a different angle, perhaps it will help you see that Jesus is God....
Paul shows the Spirit of God and the Spirit of Christ as being the same.“You, however, are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the S…

If you read the passage in light of the others, it says everything about Jesus being God.
Here's another problem with your denial of Christ's deity.
The Old Testament clearly teaches that a man cannot die for t…

Thanks for the interesting post. I believe it reflects the mind-set of our age. I recently told my wife, and she agreed with me, that if it wasn't for the inner experience of Christ in our hearts, we would have thrown in the sponge a l…

If you re-read my post, you'll see I edited it after you replied to it. Maybe we can better appreciate each other's views based on my later version.

I'm only saying God does not change. This means his nature (perfect knowledge, perfect wisdom, perfect love, etc.) determined his will.

Here's another passage saying Jesus is God. Notice first that God will live in people he calls his temple.
“And what mutual agreement does the temple of God have with idols? For we are the temple of the living God, just as God said,
(Quote)Do you disagree with the doctrine of the trinity as set forth in any of the Reformed Confessions?
I'm not Reformed, nor am I involved with covenant theology, nor am I a Calvinist. But I fill my plate from a wide swath of Christ…
This entire debate is unnecessary if we answer one question. Who rules on David's Throne according to the New Testament?
“For a child is born to us, a son is given to us. The government will rest on his shoulders. And he will be called: W…
(Quote)Do you think one sinless man can exchange himself for more than one sinner and still have a fair trade?
Even if the sinless man traded himself for the other, how could he gain more than what the other originally had in the exch…
(Quote)But God will not accept unjust weights or measures. One sinless man can can redeem only one sinner. It takes God with infinite worth to redeem the entire universe and all that will populate it.
(Quote)I'm sorry if I did. But I don't recall how.
(Quote)If you consider the following verse too, it speaks of Christ and his kingdom that became a reality in the New Covenant era.
