2:5

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

Paul illustrated his point by quoting a hymn that described Jesus total

obedience to the Father in Philippians 2:6-11

Philippians

2:6

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

Philippians

2:7

But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was

made in the likeness of men:

The Kenosis theory is false. Jesus NEVER emptied Himself of Hisdeity.

Colossians

2:8

Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit,

after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and notafter Christ.

Colossians

2:9

For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.

Jesus Christ is the Word (God) who became a man. He addedhuman nature to His divine nature. He is both human and divine,and, therefore, has two natures. Yet, He is one person, not two. Heis not part God and part man. He is presently a man, one person,with two natures where one nature is wholly God and the otherwholly man. (Phil. 2:5-11; Col. 2:9; 1 Tim. 3:16; Heb. 1:5-13; John1:1-3,14). Jesus will eternally remain as a man and intercedes for us

eternally as a high priest after the order of Melchezedek (Heb. 6:20;7:25).

The correct doctrine is called the Hypostatic Union. That is thebelief that Jesus is both fully God and fully man, and only gave upthe glory that comes with being deity and being found in fashion asa man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, eventhe death of the cross.

knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their

iniquities.
