Today the divine indwelling and use of flesh, carnal form, and material existence are topics. Divinity willingly appears as active and present among created beings and living creatures by using multiple devices and vessels that include angels, praise, Patriarchs, prophets, the holy writings, and the continuing hopes of men. One of the fighters at “Yahoo! Answers” using the ID “Anonymous” (no profile information shared) posted the following:
What is incarnation in terms of Christianity and Jesus?
THE GOLDEN ARROW: God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds; Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high: Being made so much better than the angels, as he hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they. (Hebrews 1: 1-4, King James Version, KJV)
THE DOUBLE DAGGER: Material Things in Heaven? (11/10/2016); The Need for Incarnation? (09/29/2016); The Bible and Salvation (09/14/2016); Eternal Mysteries and Revelation (08/31/2016); GOD Within Christian Believers (07/31/2016); The Flesh An Obstacle? (07/29/2016); Many Sons of GOD? (06/28/2016)
“Anonymous”, the appearance of divinity in human form as a Son of Adam, Jesus Christ, and a presentation of all that is divine is necessary to establish the existence of GOD beyond the abstract elements of authority, mystery, oneness without sameness, power, presence, eternal purpose, etc. Because there are multiple layers of existence that separate divinity—who is made up of inseparable spirit matter such as faith, holiness, wisdom, wrath against sin—from created beings and living creatures—who are characterized by material, physical, and social features—Deity makes the living presence of GOD knowable, known, personal, and visible using the created in continuous communication, exchange, and interaction (we say, divine law, praise, prayer, proclamation, prophecy, promise, ongoing relationships, revelation). Having human form (we say, flesh), GOD goes on to demonstrate divine intent regarding life experience, obedience, sacred operations, respect, reverence, submission, and worship. Finite tools relied upon by the living are all used to apprehend spirit. Included are intellect, logic, sensation (e.g., hearing, seeing, tasting), and emotion/mind (e.g., anger, fear, imagination, recall). So to speak, through the sacred device of incarnation, the invisible presence of divine spirit residing within life events such as birth, death, commitment, covenant, family, government, inheritance, judgment, miracles, priesthood, sacrifice, and suffering are clarified, crystallized, and made “visible”. Even sin—a nonmaterial, non-spirit influence that may dominate awareness and self-will in the living; opposes the continued existence of law from the Creator; and directs Creation to non-existence, self-destruction, and return to preexistence—can be made “concrete” and its elimination can be sealed using the cross as an altar along with atonement, forgiveness, rebirth, and resurrection.
There is far more to be said, understood, and spiritually apprehended. Even so, I trust this fragment will be useful. Be it unto you according to your faith.
