Bear Jim,
It is only my own inability to express the idea, that is why I posted the article. Tim Hegg does a better job. What I mean by Jesus is not all that God is; God willingly took upon himself the limitations of being finite, limited and confined in time and space,to a man And if you look at the exchange betwwen Jesus and Satan in the wilderness after his baptism, he is able to be tempted, (though he does not yield of course). He allows hunger, thirst, cold, and all the frailties of the human flesh to become his own. This to me seems a great deal limited from the eternal, omnipotent, omnipresent God presented as the Holy One (Father). And yet, he is . Again my words fall short.
None the less, be assured that your concern for my statement is without cause. You must remember that I am on the other side of this arguement and hold that there is one God and not three, which means that Yeshua was God in the flesh.
While your information on the orthodox church is received, I am sure that it is only part of the story. There are many variations of understanding on this issue. I have been in churches who believe that there are three Gods separate but equal. Some that believe that their are two Gods, and a spirit who is the servant of the others. Some believe that Yeshua was only half God and half man, and therefore is something different or new.(Although this one is not really new, it was common in mithological tales) That Yeshua was just a man who was just filled with the full measure of the spirit and allowed God to work through him. And then there are other churches who have added other dieties to the three, adding the mother of Jesus as a godess, and some the saints as well.
If you read the article, you will find expression for my own doctrine, for Tim Hegg and I agree on this.
Thank you for the response,
May the Lord Bless you,
