His state was divine,
yet he did not cling
to his equality with God
but emptied himself
to assume the condition of a slave,
and became as men are;
and being as all men are,
he was humbler yet,
even to accepting death,
death on a cross. - Phil. 2:6-8 -
'Have I been with you all this time, Philip', said Jesus to him 'and you still do not know me?
'To have seen me is to have seen the Father,
so how can you say, "Let us see the Father"? - John 14:9 -
Anthropomorphism refers to the practice of describing God in human terms, as He has feet - Ex.24:9-11 - hands - John 10:29 - a face - Matt. 18;10 - a heart - Hos. 11:8 - and so forth. Although the Old Testament and New Testament deny any literal similarity of form between God and His creatures, the Sacred Scripture/Holy Bible uses such human language to affirm that God is personal and active in His creation. - Job. 9:32 - John 4:24 -
Since Jesus birth in Bethlehem by the miracle of the Incarnation, Christ had lived physically on earth. But 40 days after the resurrection, His earthly ministry ceased with His ascension into heaven. Jesus' departure into heaven was a bodily ascension in His resurrection body. Saint Stephen and Saint Paul both reported seeing Jesus in bodily form after His resurrection. Acts 7:56; 9:27; 1Cor. 15:8 -
The ascension set in motion the coming of the Holy Spirit with His gifts for believers. God determined that the presence of Jesus would be replaced by the presence of the Holy Spirit who could be everywhere at the same time. Jesus' followers now enjoy the presence of the Holy Spirit and the operation of the Holy Spirit's gifts [Wisdom, Knowledge, Understanding, Counsel, Fortitude, Piety and the fear of the Lord] through them. - John 14:16-18,26; 16:7-15; Acts 2:23; Eph. 4:11-12 -
The same Jesus who was taken up from you into heaven, will so come in like manner as you saw Him go into heaven. - Acts 1:11 - The Lord Jesus will return to earth in bodily from just as He ascended into heaven. Therefore, the exegesis and in accordance to Sacred Scripture/Holy Bible,(Written Tradition) Oral Tradition, The Magisterium, it is clearly understood that Jesus[Son of God] is indeed "Fully Human and Fully Divine".

I have through years of reading, pondering, reflecting and contemplating, the 3 things that last; FAITH . HOPE . LOVE and I would like to made available my sharing from the many thinkers, authors, scholars and theologians whose ideas and thoughts I have borrowed. God be with them always. Amen!
I STILL HAVE MANY THINGS TO SAY TO YOU BUT THEY WOULD BE TOO MUCH FOR YOU NOW. BUT WHEN THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH COMES, HE WILL LEAD YOU TO THE COMPLETE TRUTH, SINCE HE WILL NOT BE SPEAKING AS FROM HIMSELF, BUT WILL SAY ONLY WHAT HE HAS LEARNT; AND HE WILL TELL YOU OF THE THINGS TO COME.
HE WILL GLORIFY ME, SINCE ALL HE TELLS YOU WILL BE TAKEN FROM WHAT IS MINE. EVERYTHING THE FATHER HAS IS MINE; THAT IS WHY I SAID: ALL HE TELLS YOU WILL BE TAKEN FROM WHAT IS MINE. - JOHN 16:12-15 -
