I know its slightly off topic, but I’m still waiting for the Trinity folks to explain the competing “wills” in Luke 22:42. None of the Trinity folks have touched that one yet.

Luke 22:42 Saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done.

The common view, I think, is that this is the human side of Christ.

What excactly does that mean?

Christ was perfect. The “human side” makes it sound as if you are saying he was flawed.

The point of Luke 22:42 is obvious. Christ and God are two separate beings. Thus he prays to his Father, not himself. Additionally, he is obedient. He would like not to partake of the bitter cup. However, he submits his will to the will of the Father.
