Dec 18, 2017 · Therefore, he grew up through the stages of childhood like other humans, yet without sin. Paul says in 1 Timothy 2:5, “There is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man” — the human — “Christ Jesus.” So, in his divine nature, Christ was fully God.

Jan 4, 2022 · And here we must be careful not to go beyond what Scripture says. Jesus did not empty Himself of His divine attributes—no such attributes are mentioned in the verse, and it is obvious in the gospels that Jesus possessed the power and wisdom of God.
