One Common Heresy In Charismatic Churches | The “Kenosis”

When Christ took on flesh, did he temporarily suspend (or “empty” himself of) his divine nature during the duration of his earthly ministry? Watch this short video, and you’ll be able to clearly answer this common question.

Pastor Joel, great video! Keep up the great work! Your ministry has blessed me. The theology you preach and teach is pure, sound, and biblical!

The bible says Jesus grew in wisdom. How does this work together with what is being said here?

[ryanhart]

Absolutely!!!! That they believe Jesus emptied himself and was just a man is insane

There is a difference between the kenosis, a singular event, and kenotic theology, a christological system. Kenotic theology teaches that Jesus Christ, while incarnate on earth, emptied himself of His divine attributes. In that sense, it rejects the doctrine of dyophysitism. This is, of course, heretical. The concept of the kenosis, on the other hand, says that Christ _temporarily_ emptied Himself of His _omniscience._ He did not permanently or for a long duration of time empty Himself of _all_ of His divine attributes, but _only_ His omniscience. This is why, in Mark 13:32 and Matthew 24:36, when Jesus says that not even He Himself knows when He will return (only the Father knows), He was not lying. Because He had temporarily emptied Himself of His omniscience, He could provide this explanation truthfully. If the concept of the kenosis is untrue, then Christ lied, which is absurd to say, because Christ, as the second Person of the Triune God, cannot lie, because lying is a sin, and God cannot sin.

This video was a big disappointment. Zero discussion to lay out evidence to prove the title statement and then a 3 minute ad for an unrelated conference. You’re better than this Joel

Whenever I confront the “God told me” people, or those who defend those who do the “God told me” (Charles Stanley, Priscilla Shirer) and I ask if they mean they heard an actual audio voice, oft-times they respond “Uh well! He spoke to me spiritually! If you can’t hear God that’s your problem “! Or “I don’t limit my God like you do”!

Jesus did empty himself of divine attributes.! This is correct. How so? If we say he didn't know the day or hour of his return in his human nature only, we are committing the Nestorian heresy. After all, why not just go over to his divine side and find out?? No, to say he had two natures is Nestorian. He had one nature, human, but was endued with the Holy Spirit, given without measure. His Father was working in him doing his work. However, he was deity always in his Logos spiritual identity. This did not change in his Incarnation. As such, he was worthy of worship and allegiance as God even as a man. If he had his divine attributes while on earth he would have glorified himself, which he could not do as a man. Man cannot glorify himself. You may also notice his own brothers and sisters did not believe on him, since he did no miracles in his childhood. He was not pretending to be a baby, he was a baby. In his glorified state, however, he has his divine attributes. Now in him dwells the Godhead bodily.

It seems to me that the kenotic Jesus is another Jesus (2 Cor 11:4). In my understanding a heresy is a doctrine which, if believed, not only leads astray but leads to perdition. So does this mean that pastors teaching this doctrine are probably lost?

[markgreen]

Nonsense. Ichabod justification, so sad.

[Post-Trib]

The Word or Logos of God is not a literal "he" or 2d person.

The Word or Logos is God's forethought, plan and prophetic mind which was to become the savior of his creation.

God didn't send someone else to save the world. God himself did this. Any limitations that we read of about the man Christ Jesus are self imposed
