DEITY  and  HUMANITY OF  CHRIST  JESUS our  LORD
From February 4, 2014 2:47:51 PM HST

God's love was made known to us when the Logos emptied himself to become the Son of Man so we can become Son's of God.   John 1:11-12  -- The secret is Christ In You; for In Christ we become a new creation Col. 1:27 & 11 Cor. 5:17 the first three creations (Heb. Bara) were corrupted.
Gen. 1:1,matter  1:21.animal life  1:27 created (bara)  mankind in  the image of God.

The Son of Man sinless was crucified for our sins; how much more do we need to crucify our carnal nature and consider ourselves dead to sin.  Gal. 2:20,--Gal. 5:23 – Rom. 6:11
    Our faith is not in us but in God's loving-kindness (Heb. chessed) Grace.

No question about the deity /divinity of Christ.  He is not a sub -god or a demigod; but the creator i.e. "All things were made by Him and with out the Logos nothing came into being and the Logos became a human and we saw Him as the only begotten of the Father full of grace and truth." 
            No question that Jesus although sinless? was a mortal human being who died for our sins and in doing so became immortal, conquered death by His resurrection, so we could have eternal life.
The purpose of the Logos taking on a human form was that Mankind continually distorts the truth about God; His Character and Nature. We needed to hear "If you have seen me you have seen the Father, One who is the exact representation of His Nature."  And have a perfect representation of what mankind was meant to be, like Adam before he disobeyed?  Jesus the sinless Last Adam came to restore His Kingdom to us --the Dominion that Adam abdicated.

Jesus "became sin, for us, who knew no sin that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him."  Christ accomplished this by being born as Jesus a man without any prestige credentials or position of power, even with the stigma of being illegitimate.   He lived a life as a homeless man and accepted the pain and shame of the Cross so that still unworthy we can become Sons (No gender here) of God and joint heirs with Christ, which allows us to participate in His divine nature.  11 Peter 1:4

Jesus, the Man died on a cross, buried three days and nights officially dead in Israel.  If He didn’t die his resurrection was a farce for we really do die.

We are born Mortal "subject to death having a transitory life" Jesus was a mortal from His conception and God's great miracle is that a mortal man became immortal. By His resurrection Jesus conquered death, not only for himself but for us also who believe.
"Being made in the likeness of men.  Being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross.  For this reason, God highly exalted Him, and bestowed on Him the name above every name, so that at the name of Jesus Every Knee Will Bow, of those who are in heaven and on earth and under the earth, that every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father."   (Phil 2:7-11)
" If there is no resurrection of the dead, not even Christ has been raised; if Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is vain, your faith also is vain if Christ has not been raised, our faith is worthless; you are still in your sins.  Then those who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished.  If we have hoped in Christ in this life only, we are of all men most to be pitied"       "Since by a man came death, by a man also came the resurrection of the dead.  As in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be made alive.   (1 Cor 15:11-23) God didn't die; the divine Christ, or Logos can't die.  Jesus death and ours is separation from God; the horror of Jesus becoming sin for us on the cross is that God left Him to experience our death for us.   Robert Greenwald  Feb. 3, 2014    Eternal Father is in Isaiah 6:9 and is in reference to the Child so how does the child become the eternal father  "Christ -For in Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily;"    Col 2:9-10
