Dr. Scott Swain (Reformed Theological Seminary- Orlando) "Basics of Systematic Theology: Christology The Person of Christ" (24:32) "When the Son of God became human, He became human. Remember John 1vs14 'The Word became Flesh'. . . .He was made like his brothers. He became a human being. Human nature is something he owned. The language in verse 14 [Hebrews 2vs14] says literally 'He tasted the same things.' He partook of the same things. Literally He tasted the same things. You see the idea? This isn't like He was hanging around close to human nature, right. He entered into human existence." (25:00) ". . . Now in the incarnation He didn't cease to be God. Incarnation is by addition not by subtraction. . . . He added humanity . . ." (28:00) Neither is Jesus is like a human horse, a centaur, half and half. "He was a man; He wasn't pretending. . . He was and He is forever a man." (29:30) Modern Kenotic Error Original Video and others in this series: https://vimeo.com/207133103
