Yeah, the article cleared things up perfectly:
Quote:Jesus walked this earth as one-hundred percent God and one-hundred percent man. That is the common and prevailing understanding among mainstream Christian denominations...(bolding mine)
...This then required Him to give up all His rights, power, and ranking as God (Phil. 2:7). He would come to earth limited by the physical and mental constraints of humanity...
... So having a mind like humans, having been stripped of its godly omniscience, Jesus lived as a human being under the Law.
So he walked the earth as 100% human and 100% God, except that he was stripped of the godly power omniscience? Makes perfect sense. I cannot fathom how Christians can perform these mental gymnastics without consuming mass quantities of Tylenol.
