    That's true. However, Jesus has full humanity, along with His full divinity.

    You misunderstand what I said. God the Son did not become human. That is saying that God became a man. I have presented to you how the London Confession of 1677 explains the Incarnation. sag38 correctly posted
    Scripture tells us:

    Philippians 2:5-8, KJV
    5. Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:
    6. Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:
    7. But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:
    8. And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.

    Colossians 2:9, KJV
    9. For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.

    Hebrews 2:16, KJV
    16. For verily he took not on [him the nature of] angels; but he took on [him] the seed of Abraham.

    Hebrews 10:5, KJV
    5. Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, but a body hast thou prepared me:

    Not arguing that. Was simply answering Saggy.

    And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

    I didn't say He became a sinful human.

    You seemed to be implying that He had no glory in His humiliation.

    in my music minister days, I did a couple of these.

    They're a lot of fun to do, and if done well, will often bring in quite a few unchurched.

    Having said that...man, were they ever a ton of work! Not to mention finding storage for those things.

    He humbled himself and took on the likeness of man. What kind of glory is that?

    The people which sat in darkness saw great light; and to them which sat in the region and shadow of death light is sprung up, Matt. 4:16 You don't understand His incarnation. He was nothing like us with respect to our character, desires and emotions. He was full of grace and truth. Compared with sinful men, He outshone the sun, and men killed Him for it.

    Don't tell me there was no glory in His incarnation.
