How does that answer the question of why God does not use His soverenity to intervene and not let satan run amuk? Or why Jesus (fully God) let satan tempt Him for 40 days and 40 nights and not exercise His authority?The whole matter of the Incarnation, etc. was part of a divine plan. We know that. But the issue of leaving all men basically to their own dim abilities when it comes to appropriating Jesus' merits goes to the issue of freewill or election in the matter of salvation. Your thinking seems to amount to him saying "You're on your own," which, I'm thinking, can hardly be less cheery than thinking that he chooses his elect and secures them according to his plan.
Jesus said, "If you know me, then you know the Father for I and my Father are One'.
So how can you say Jesus was a special circumstance when He said that He and His Father are One. With the same will and the same mind.
