Amongst a whole host of logical contradictions about gods this one in the Christian faith seems clear to me. Therefore Christ was not god and therefore christianity false. But I am intesrested into how chritstians resolve this.
There is nothing to resolve, Christ being fully man meant that He could physically know pain, hunger, thirst, weariness, have all the desires of a man, He could be tempted, He had all the emotions of man, the weakness of man and ect. He had to be fully man and vunerable to man's weaknesses if He was to be the ultimate sacrifice for mankind. Christ never fell to man's weakness and lived a life free of sin a Holy life without the aid of Him being fully God. How Christ could be born as a human baby is a question you will have to ask God the Father I can't answer that. I do know that He laid down His own powers when He left his Father to become our Messiah and depended upon his Father's powers to do the healing of the sick and lame, raising the dead, turning water into wine, knowing the thoughts of others and ect. One of the examples of His own powers being laid aside is the angels were with Him for His protection if He decided to call upon them, this was also His wittness to them of His love for mankind. Another reason we know He laid down His own powers is He told His disciples that He was doing the work of His Father not His own work, He prayed as man has to in order to talk to his Father. Jesus told His disciples when they asked to see the Father that they already had by seeing Him living His life before them. He told them that He and the Father are One meaning they are completely of one mind, they see all things exactly the same, they have the same exact understanding of all things. I know you are going to say once again that I'm delusional, that I need help or what ever comes to your mind but it is you who asked and all this is in the scriptures and I believe it and you do not or you would not have asked. The whole matter of christianity is about belief in Christ and having the faith to trust in Him keeping His promises to us.
God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
