You didn't look at my cross referenced link, I guess?

I did, and it is a nice little site, but it does not answer the question of fasting regarding the verses you gave. But the quotes from Adam Clarke that I gave you did.

Anyway, Jesus was not omnipotent while He walked the earth; . . .

Your theology here is in so great an error as to be an insult to the Holy Spirit, indicating that your knowledge of the Christ of the Bible is so minute as to call into question whether you have been saved.

It is not possible to debate with you on this. The Holy Ghost says in Colossians 2:8-9, "Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ. For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily" (AV; my emphases in bolding and color).

For greater detail, you can check out this issue in Declarations of Christ's Deity: His Divine Attributes (click here) as well as in the article The Attributes of God, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit are Equal (click here).

FRiend, what you said puts your soul in danger. Your theology is either that of an unspiritual adherent, professing but unsaved; or of a new-born babe in Christ still carnally-minded, as yet undiscipled (1 Cor. 3:1-3a; cf 2 Pet. 3:14-16, "unlearned" = undiscipled in the Gk.).

In summary:

Jesus had all of the attributes and power of God the Father while always acting according to the Father's will.

By all means, this reply is not intended to be an insult, but rather a clear admonition and warning by a concerned disciple of Christ. You need to improve your grasp of the Holy Scriptures.

I'm sorry if you don't understand how to use a concordance...

Check out the Greek on Kenosis. Jesus emptied Himself to become fully Man.

If Christ was not fully man (as well as fully God) the crucifixion would be pointless.

I'm sorry you don't believe the Gifts are for today, because that's why I think you are feigning such offense at this post and at me over fasting and prayer when confronting the demonic realm.

Quit going over the top with your phony critiques of my faith, it's obnoxious.

You have explained nothing that proves that Christ did not say prayer and fasting to aid the disciples when dealing with the demonic, and you have done it in a sick way on this election day, when we all need to be praying and fasting.

May the Lord rebuke you.

Your posts also remind me of how John warned us to test the spirits or attitudes or belief systems of people around us...

“And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God:
and this is that spirit of antichrist,
whereof ye have heard that it should come;
and even now already is it in the world.”
