Astounded…and Flabbergasted…

I am sure that not everything I write fully fits within acceptable theology… however I am just a bumbling idiot most of the time and I take it in stride. So just forgive me if my simple ideas cross the borders what you would call “safe theology” :)

My personal observation is that “Jesus” is God… just as the “Holy” spirit is God… and “The Father” is God.. how all of that fits together is quite a difficult subject… HOWEVER… that is not my point.

I was thinking… after reading in Philippians 2:5

Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:

6Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:

7But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:

8And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.

So I started realllllly thinking about this.. and came upon some astounding things..

  • Jesus… had no problem being equal with God…
  • Jesus… actually proved that he had no problems setting aside his “Status” as GOD by becoming a man
  • Jesus… actually allowed men to kill him.

looking back at what I just wrote… I am convinced I am an idiot because I am just repeating the verses…and not explaining myself…

why in existence would an all powerful being completely relinquish their power and literally become “their own creation”? This is a paradox in itself!
(I have written and re-written the following sentences and for the life of me I cannot express how huge this is)

Do you understand the level of perfection needed to knowingly choose to submit yourself to your own creation?

I am completely astounded and flabbergasted…

how could anyone choose to reject a God of that caliber?

no other god
no other religion
no other belief
no other writing…. has ever suggested such a perfect paradox of a perfectly perfect GOD.
