[QUOTE="SolomonVII, post: 71724585, member: 12407"] I am intrigued by the idea that it is our humanity, in Jesus, that makes God fully God. God would not be fully God, without the humanity of Jesus, including the passionate suffering of the Christ. As admirable as an all powerful being of infinite goodness and infinite wisdom is, such a being who suffers with us is even more admirable. To transcend death and suffering is simply not as courageous and as brave as emerging triumphant from the experience of suffering and death. It is like the Chinese tale of the lowly rock cutter and the mountain. The lowly rock cutter is greater, as the mountain is carved away into art that fills the palaces of the emperors. [/QUOTE]
