No mention about his setting aside his oneness with his father while he was staying upon this earth.
He didn't set it aside. That is something that has always been true. Jesus, being God, has always been One with the Father, and always will be. Even while human, Jesus was still God. However, He came to Earth in a suborindate position to even the angels because of the addition of His human nature. So, Jesus had two distinct natures, divine and human, but was still one person. That's why there seems to be a conflict in terminology, because His human nature changed how He related to the Father. After the cross, the human nature was reconciled back into the divine nature, which was the reason He came in the first place. I think this article will clear up some misconceptions:
That's because the winning xtian thugs killed off the docetists as heretics!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Docetism
Quote:In Christianity, docetism (from the Greek δοκέω dokeō, "to seem") is the belief that Jesus' physical body was an illusion, as was his crucifixion; that is, Jesus only seemed to have a physical body and to physically die, but in reality he was incorporeal, a pure spirit, and hence could not physically die. This belief treats the sentence "the Word was made Flesh" (John 1:14) as merely figurative. Docetism has historically been regarded as heretical by most Christian theologians.
