A good reason not to believe in God

[fr0d0]

Sorry VOID that wasn't the reasoning I provided but the data used for the reasoning. You have to make sense of the questions raised and draw your conclusions. Like I said, I spent a lot of time scrutinising those questions thoroughly. This was around 25 years ago initially. And I'm constantly testing and re-evaluating. About 15 years ago I became an atheist. 5 years ago I became Christian again. I'm interested in the subject and address questions as they arise. I'm not the type of person who bothers to remember the fine detail to relate to people. I use it for myself and move on. I've been here a couple of years now, and in that time presented a lot of data. Still that's no where need enough information I personally would require to honestly tackle the problem in hand.

In the first sentence, you wrote that God manifests Himself fully within the person.

In the next sentence, you wrote that God is limiting Himself as a man (severely). Isn't that a contradiction?

Yep thanks, you are correct. What I meant is that God is always fully God. Obviously the human isn't fully God. But Jesus had the full potential of God... choosing to limit himself to human constraints for the most part. "I and the Father are one" (John 10:30)

Jesus was human but with the inability to sin. Fully united with God as a human could be. As Adam was. Adam had the potential to sin, Jesus did not.

Here's an attempt at an explanation: see from page 4 "The Logical Possibility of the Incarnation" : http://www.scribd.com/doc/45978722/One-P...atic-Union

[PS I think this thread needs splitting into how is Jesus fully God and fully Man.]
