- “took upon him the form of a servant”

Q

what are the two false theories of the Kenosis passage and their objections? (essay)

A

the Son gave up all of His divine attributes to become a human
- objection: God is immutable and unable to “empty” Himself of His attributes (Mal. 3:6; Heb. 13:8)
- to presume that the Son gave up all of His divine attributes in becoming human is the equivalent of stripping Him of His deity

the Son gave up is relative (non-moral) attributes only
- objection: God cannot be fragmented into “essential attributes” and “relative attributes”
- to take one or more away from Christ is to take away Christ’s deity. if He emptied Himself of any attribute, He made Himself less than God

Q

why is it translated “no reputation”?

A
  • Christ, who possesses all the attributes of God, and who deserves all glory and reputation, lowered Himself to “no reputation” by becoming man and dying the death of a wrongly convicted criminal
