I don’t disagree with anything you stated.
But you’re missing my point. During His time here on Earth, He operated, acted, did what He did, as a man anointed with the Spirit, not as God— even though He is indeed both.
This is an important distinction, and a powerful fact to recognize. We can do the same works He did, and even greater. Not because we are God, but because we are also men anointed with the Spirit.
“But you’re missing my point. During His time here on Earth, He operated, acted, did what He did, as a man anointed with the Spirit, not as God— even though He is indeed both.”
I got your point - I just don’t agree with it.
Jesus has always been God - and acted as both God and man while here on earth.
That doesn’t mean he WASN’T annointed with the Spirit as well - His conception occurred through the Spirit and certainly was united with the Spirit.
I just don’t see any evidence that Jesus was somehow stripped of his divine attributes while on earth.
“Before Abraham was, I Am...”
“We can do the same works He did, and even greater.”
We can do SOME of the works He did...but not all of them.
We cannot save souls on our own, but can help others by leading them to Christ.
And while we can sacrifice ourselves for others, none of us can recreate the greatest “work” Christ performed - His salvation of souls through the crucifixion.
Any seemingly miraculous works performed by men are only through the gifts of God.
