I think the original question is too broad. Does God procreate in the sense that we do? In a way yes. He produces life from within himself. Just as women and man do because of the original life put in us by God. Does the life God produces carry at least part of the characteristics of God? Yes it does.A speculation —Can God create a sperm that…[Read more]

I wonder what Paul would think of your concept of a being coming down from heaven and living as a man.Acts 148At Lystra a man was sitting who had no strength in his feet, lame from his mother's womb, who had never walked. 9This man was listening to Paul as he spoke, who, when he had fixed his gaze on him and had seen that he had faith to be made…[Read more]

Real undeniable hope is best served by a human Christ that is very clearly our example. A human Christ leaves no room for the devil to say Christ did this or that because of some extra-human attribute. So, growth in god and the fruit of hope is best served by a human messiah.(besides it is clearly scriptural)

To all —I just want to point out the absolutely silly lengths Mike will go to in order preserve his pet theory. Now he will not accept that “son of man” denotes humanity. Have you ever heard anything so silly? I hope that those that read and do not post will finally see the total dishonesty of mikes processes.

Some things to consider. Some on here claim that Christ was a spirit being before becoming human on Earth. That in itself contradicts so many very clear scriptures that it cannot possible be true. Like his brethren in every way? It does not say in every way except he preexisted as a spirit being.The Earth shall be judged by the “man” whom God…[Read more]
