What does “limited human form” mean? Honestly curious and a bit confused.
God is infinite, omnipresent, omniscient, and omnipotent. He came to earth and was born as a man and lived a human life, setting aside his God-nature and took on a human-nature. He “emptied himself” and lived as all men do. He tired, hungered, thirsted, and was tempted like all men, yet did not sin.

Jesus, God the son, is both fully God and fully man.

Yes. This is what I believe. You have precisely and concisely stated who Jesus is. I was confused with “limited human form”. It sounded like something less than fully man.

Some seem to think God places demands on us and he doesn’t really understand how “hard” it is for we mortal men to meet those demands. Like Jesus was playing with a stacked deck, so to speak.

It’s interesting Job saw the problem during his troubles and prophesied the answer to the objection.
quote:


For he is not a man, as I am,
that I might answer him,
that we should come to trial together.
There is no arbiter between us,
who might lay his hand on us both.
Let him take his rod away from me,
and let not dread of him terrify me.
Then I would speak without fear of him,
for I am not so in myself.

Job 9:32-35

Very well said! God is a Triune Spirit: the Father is the Head, the Son is the living Word, and the Holy Spirit is the Breath (life-giving Spirit) of God. When the Holy Spirit comes upon you, you're adopted and become a new creation (born again)! ;)
