As he had done in his earlier outline of William Newton Clarke’s An Outline of Christian Theology, King dismisses the conception of an inherent divinity in Jesus and concludes: “The true significance of the divinity of Christ lies in the fact that his achievement is prophetic and promissory for every other true son of man who is willing to submit his will to the will and spirit [of] God ...

The first death which we have inherited from Adam is merely a consequence to the physical body due to Adam’s sin and due to the law of heredity. All of us suffer the death whether saved or not, except those that will be translated without tasting death; “For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.” (1 Cor. 15:22) On the contr...
We will now take a look at the trinitarian view of God (composed of three persons) for this will give us an insight as to how trinitarians view the incarnation and also how they view the death and resurrection of Jesus. As you will see, unless you really understand the underlying principle of trinitarianism, you may not fully grasp how the doctrine...
In 1908 (10 years after the publication of ‘The Desire of Ages’) the following was published in the Signs of the Times: She also wrote: Note: According to what we have been told here, it was only the divine Son of God, who could become man’s surety. The emphasis is that Christ was the only one who could say “I have power over my own life, “power to...
Note: Lord’s Messenger tells us that, Christ could not have died as God (pure divinity). “Like His Father, He was immortal”. But as an incarnate Man (divinity combined with humanity), He could. It was this blending of the human and divine which allowed Christ to experience death, though He was God. This “WILL EVER REMAIN A MYSTERY THAT THE MOST PRO...
Let’s also compare the following 2 significant and seemingly contradictory statements regarding Christ’s deity as it is related to His death: And yet, Sister White has also stated the following statement: Note: As Ellen White has stated, “THE DEITY DID NOT SINK UNDER THE AGONIZING TORTURE OF CALVALRY” yet we are also told, “DEITY SUFFERED AND SANK ...
Jesus fully surrendered Himself to His human nature by laying aside his divinity — resisting the temptation to keep Himself alive through His divinity and allowed the whole Person (human and the divine) to experience death as humans would experience death — without any consciousness (Ecclesiastes 9:5, 6, 10; Psalm 146:4).
Note: Before His incarnation, Christ was fully divine and was capable of being omnipresent which he shared with the Father. Though Father and Son are spiritual Beings, Father and Son both have corporeal (bodily form which remained local) and non-corporeal (omnipresent) aspect to their personality. Father and Son’s non-corporeal personality is the “...
Scripture evidence for the Father raising Christ: The Spirit of Christ inspired David to write concerning Christ’s death, “I am shut up, and I cannot come forth.” (Psalm 88:8) Note: Christ was “shut up”in the tomb, and He could not come forth on His own. If we are to believe that Jesus was fully dead, then we must also believe as Scripture says, “d...
Consider the following statements: According to the Statements above, we can conclude that the Soul of Christ is describe as the Spirit of Christ (life force) and it “slept in the tomb with His body.” In fact, the statement reveals that Christ’s entire “blended” personage-both His humanity and Divinity remained in the grave; “All that comprised the...
Let’s take a look, John 10:17, 18 Note: The Greek word that was translated “to take,” (with Strong’s number 2983) can mean, “take back,” but it can also means “to receive”(that which was previously given up), to gain, get, obtain, to get back.” Please note that this word is also used in verse 18 but is translated “have I received.” Thus, we can say...
Aug 10, 2022 · In conclusion, Jesus in His incarnation was still all-powerful, all-knowing, all-present, immutable, and sovereign according to His divine nature. In His “emptying”, Jesus did not lose any of His divinity but rather a temporary setting aside or restricted use of His divine attributes.
Dec 18, 2017 · When in Matthew 24:36 Jesus says that not even the Son knows the time of Jesus’s return, I take him to mean that the Son — Jesus Christ, considered in his human nature — operates with a kind of limitation. But not the divine nature. Now, I know that sounds weird; that sounds strange.
Apr 8, 2021 · According to these sources, Cerinthus denied the virgin birth, taught that Jesus was a normal human who was exceedingly wise, and that he was empowered by the Christ-spirit upon his baptism. Gnosticism - the oldest Christian critiques of gnosticism dat from the early 2nd century CE, so it must have been in existence before that, though we have few documents.
The Divinity of Jesus: An Early Christian Debate A key theological debate in the early Church concerned the relationship between Jesus and God the Father and Jesus’ divinity. Opinions abounded. Gnostics, as we have seen, separated the Creator from the true God and Jesus from the Christ who dwelt within him.

In his divine essence, God cannot die; he is immortal. But because the God the Son assumed humanity, he is capable of suffering and death as a part of his atoning work. He assumed the likeness of sinful flesh in order to condemn sin in his own body through death (Rom 8:3–4).
