TB is lost so you are the INC's only hope here ETE.
So ETE,
Can we agree that the Logos is God (verse 1)
Can we agree that the Logos, who is God, created all things (verse 3)
Can we agree that the Logos, who is God, became and was manifested in the flesh (verse 14, 1 Tim 3:16)
So then what we need to determine then is, when God became flesh, did he like cut off his arm, and then his arm stopped being God because it was detached from the bigger part? I mean to say, is it that not all of God became flesh, some of God, not all, came down out of heaven and became flesh, a man, a HE, not an it?
Or can some part of God stop being God, even if He chooses to become flesh. Isn't God eternal?
Are there any verses that talk about what happened to the God nature of the Logos, when it became flesh? Did it stop, was it willingly given up and put on hold, to be returned later?
According to John 1:2, "He was WITH GOD". If the Logos is God, how can be be "with God" if God is only one and the same person?
Here, throw me a bone, just consider, what if, God is actually plural ok, and one of the persons of God comes down from heaven, from God and becomes a man. Now when this person of God came down from heaven and became flesh as a man (not a woman, cat or dog) he willingly chose to relinquish his full power and nature as God, something he could have grasped at any time he wanted, but instead, he willingly chose to become a servant, to serve willingly one of the other persons of God for the salvation of all mankind.
What if that is true and correct? Wouldn't that mean that God, came down from heaven, to die for you Himself? Don't you think that would be pretty amazing and the greatest example of love, ever?
