"It makes us aware that God is plural and, therefore, from the first, affirms the eternal nature of the being who would one day restrict his God nature and also take the form of a servant, and be "made in all things like unto his brethren."

Oh, brother, this guy is definitely a heretic.

Now, God restricts His nature? The divinity didn't change as a result of the Incarnation! Are we to say that the Holy Spirit and the Father now changed as a result of the Incarnation? One of the persons of the divinity took on the form of man, took on our nature, but He (Jesus) never put aside His divinity! Jesus Christ was God AND Man! He had/has TWO natures. How can one say the nature of God changed? That is a contradiction of terms.

Regards

Your right,
I should have read the whole article instead of skimming through it.

Now, God restricts His nature?

Rather than be so quick to label heretics, read more carefully. He stated that God is plural. God the father, God the Son, and God the Spirit. The Son restricted his nature to become flesh. Yes, he was both God and man as I know the author would also attest. But if scripture tells us something, it's better to listen than to start spouting false labels.

Hebrews 2:7  Thou madest him a little lower than the angels; thou crownedst him with glory and honour, and didst set him over the works of thy hands: 8  Thou hast put all things in subjection under his feet. For in that he put all in subjection under him, he left nothing that is not put under him. But now we see not yet all things put under him. 9  But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man.

Jesus is God. Jesus was made 'lower than the angels'. Therefore God restricts his nature. It's really not that hard to understand when you take the time to follow reasoning.

Mar 13:32 But of that day and [that] hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father.

Jhn 17:5 And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was. Phl 2:6-7
6 who, although He existed in the form of God, did not regard equality with God a thing to be grasped,
7 but emptied Himself, taking the form of a bond-servant, {and} being made in the likeness of men.

Hbr 2:9 But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man.

Jhn 16:7 Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you.
