My question goes to the heart of logical proof. Philosphists will admit that if you can demonstrate something is logically contradicted then it doesn't exist. What i am after is how Christians resolve this. The earlier response by a theist in this thread was to ignore the problem. I repeat as chritians define god, Jesus could not be fully man and god because he would be a limited, unlimited being.
From the earlier thiest: You must not have read very carefully what was stated. Christ laid down His powers (left them in Heaven) so that he could be fully man and yet fully God. It would take a God to be able to lay down His omnipotence to serve the Father as a man. If Christ had not laid down His powers the Jewish priest and Roman authority would not have been able to kill Him. Even as a man and God Jesus stated that no one could harm Him if He did not allow it to be so. Remember this Jesus still had His omniscients and omnipresents as was demonstrated in His encounters with the rebellious Jewish people. I fully understood what you were asking and responded with an explanation you have decided to ignor and that is your problem not a lack of understanding on my part. This is why I've tried a second time to help you get your mind wrapped around this reality.
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.
