The Narrow Path Ministries

Darin, I believe Jesus became a man plain and simple. I normally don't use the word "Christology" much because it makes him sound like a field of science rather than a man. I believe he has great power now as he had before his incarnation, but I was basically arguing against the idea of him having a...

Rom 5:18-19 as by the offense of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life. as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous. We are made ...

I don't think the royals would see themselves only in a role -- think of the divine rights of kings. At least in the context I'm speaking of, they don't believe themselves to be merely filling a role. Nobility is born, not assumed. Divine rights and birth rights seem like two different things to me...

The Christus Victor, Satisfaction, Substitution, and Ransom views of the atonement make really do make wonderful poetry (not sarcastic). But when speaking literally and objectively about what God and Jesus did I believe the Moral Influence view should be the foundation. However, the Moral Influence ...

I think i know what you mean but it just does'nt make sense to me to claim two contradictory things were true simultaneously in that he could'nt have sinned and he could have sinned. ... You say it was possible and impossible for him to sin at the same time, i must confess i just don't get it. I'm ...

This is pretty deep into semantics, I think, but I see the divine and human as separate qualities or attributes of his single nature, much like a King's nature is both human and royal (and may be personable, jovial, or whatever). Your analogy seems perfect but I would call royalty a role. If a divi...

I think his divine attributes did have to be deactivated otherwise he would'nt get tired or hungry or sleepy and in addition he did his miracles not because he was divine but through the power of the Holy Spirit (Acts 10). He certainly had a human nature as a man but he also had a divine nature as ...

Was'nt Paul speaking of Christ in the present tense after he was resurrected but as Phil 2.8 says he emptied himself (of what?) and humbled himself and became a bondservant. It sounds like he may have had two natures , an active human nature and a divine nature that might have been deactivated but ...

This is an exciting topic I've been studying that I want to share with anyone who might be interested whether they agree or disagree (I'm open to correction). I believe the dual-nature (Christology) idea is mistaken and incoherent because the word 'nature' should imply all of one's attributes, not m...

This is one of my favorite topics. I've been studying it for 2-3 years. One of the more common objections I've heard is "God is outside of time."
