ok - that view doesn’t jibe with what I was taught.

I was taught that Jesus is 100% human AND 100% God, from conception through His mission, until today.

He is 100% God.

The kenosis passage, though, Philippians 2:6-8, says that He did NOT consider equality with God something to be grasped but “emptied Himself” taking the very nature of a servant.

Well, yes. But He did not operate on earth as God, but as a man anointed with the Holy Spirit.

He did say “I can of mine own self do nothing”— John 5:30. He never exercised his Godhood in anything He did here, so as to provide for us an example of what is possible in this life.
