    Contributed by C Jordan on Jul 17, 2007
    based on 3 ratings

Many of us both in and out of the church oftentimes find ourselves burning the candle at both ends… And because we find ourselves not using our time ...read more

    Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on May 7, 2019
    based on 5 ratings
     | 7,285 views

    There is a growing belief in the Church that Jesus completely emptied Himself of His divinity in order to become human so that He could be the perfect sacrifice for all humanity, which is why He attributed all of His works and doctrines to the Father.

There is a growing belief in the Church that Jesus completely emptied Himself of His divinity and/or attributes in order to become human so that He could be the perfect ...read more
