I know what it says - I just don’t see how that means he somehow lost his divine intelligence.
Jesus taught us about humility, self sacrifice.
To “empty” oneself means placing others before yourself.
Placing your own wants and needs aside.
When it is stated he did not consider equality with God to be something to be grasped at...that doesn’t mean He somehow lost His divine attributes.
If he had “emptied” Himself of his divine intelligence, how could he have properly taught us the spiritual principles he left us?
I think it is a strange, disjointed view of Him.
I understand that your interpretion of the “emptying” passage is that it means simply that Jesus “put others before Himself.”
If that is correct, then are you saying that He didn’t really die?
Perhaps you believe that God can die? (I’m not trying to be a smart aleck; it’s a serious question.)
You don't have to understand it...You just have to believe it...
Mat 24:36 But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.
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.
