I am going to begin this thread with a question.

Why Does the Nature of Christ Matter?

Perhaps a better first question is, what is the Nature of Christ?


In His Love, Mercy & Grace,

"And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory. 1 Timothy 3:16.

"The incarnation of Christ is the mystery of all mysteries." {FLB 48.2}

Our finite minds will never fully understand how divinity and humanity was one yet separate in Christ's nature while He lived on earth. People have argued this for 2000 years, Wars have even been fought over it.

What is important is to look to Christ -- depending upon Him for our salvation, surrendering ourselves to Him, seeking to do His will. Reflecting on His life, His character and by His grace to be more and more like Him.

I believe one of the reasons the nature of Christ is so important is; How can such a being even relate to me?!? How can He understand what I am going through or feeling? Why would God even care?

I believe it is very important to God that we understand Him on this level.

Well, your 2nd first question does not have an answer that satisfies everyone. And we have inspired statements that suggest we won't get the answer this side of eternity.

But I think there's consensus on your first first question. One's position in the nature of Christ might not be so critical in and of itself, but it is strongly related to one's understanding of sin and the plan of salvation. If we can understand what God considers sin and personally experience His plan to save us from it, we will have plenty of time to study Christ's nature under the Tree of Life.


By God's grace,
Arnold

There is no excuse for any one in taking the position that there is no more truth to be revealed, and that all our expositions of Scripture are without an error. The fact that certain doctrines have been held as truth for many years by our people, is not a proof that our ideas are infallible. Age will not make error into truth, and truth can afford to be fair. No true doctrine will lose anything by close investigation. RH 12/20/1892

In case my question wasn't clear enough, I renamed this thread and am restating my questions a little different.

I don't know whether or not my restated questions will bring a different response, but I will wait and see.

Well, I guess the best answer to your second first question is;

1) Physically; The nature of Adam's sons and daughters.
2) Morally; Adam before the fall.

Another reason the nature of Christ matters is it demonstrates what God was willing to go through to save fallen mankind.

Could it be:

1) Physically; The nature of Adam and Eve after the Fall?

I found your #2 an interesting answer.

The plan of salvation was dependent upon a human being undoing the sin of Adam. And the plan of salvation was designed specifically to save deceived human beings and not the angels that willfully chose to leave their first estate. Thus Christ's humanity made salvation possible for humans and excluded the possibility of saving fallen angels.

But let's not forget that some angels initially followed Satan, then turned back to God. It seems redemption was available to angels at some point.
