"When Jesus walked on the earth, it was as much of the very Presence of God as this world could have -- God in the flesh."
With this in mind, how do you feel about the common way of describing Jesus' nature as "fully God, fully man"? I suppose taking it too literally makes it nonsense. There's no way He could have the fullness of God's glory in a human body without dying. Maybe it's more accurate to say "He was as much God as could be stuffed into a human body," but now it feels like I'm trying to be too specific about something that is impossible to be specific about. Can I just blame the English language?
