| | David Hamilton was speaking yesterday about how God limited Himself by
becoming wholly human. He took on a physical body thus limiting himself
to learning one language as a baby. being in one place. Walking
to and from the temple where he learned about God and memorized the
Torah. It's a crazy idea on the surface.
It challenges concepts that we just sort of internalize as we grow up.
It makes the verse about "emptying Himself..." much more meaningful.
What would it be like to empty yourself of infinite knowledge to
then learn over the course of two or three years how to speak just one
language?
Did Jesus retain his infinite knowledge and understanding when he became a man?
If He did would this have made it a fair testing of his perfectly choosing God's Will and not sinning?
And a bigger question raised yesterday was that He retains his physical
body even now. That for the rest of eternity Jesus limited himself to a
redeemed perfected body.
The finite can never become infinite for it has a beginning, but the
infinite can become finite. So if this is true then can the infinite
that became finite become once again infinite as it was originally? And
if it can then did it ever truly become finite?
This is not what David Hamilton said but it is where my mind went. Although he is touching on it right now.
