Dave:
No Matthew, you accused me of such. I say that the Word indicates that
Jesus was 100% man and 100% God while He was in the flesh here on earth.
Please don't read into something that is not there. I won't even answer
such questions since we all know that the Bible affirms only One Deity.
Matthew Shaw:

Dave:
I've learned no matter how hard one attempts to explain something in
elementary terms, there will be those who will attempt to complicate
matters. The Bible is such an easy book to understand by the Spirit of
God, that one would have to hire a Theologian, pay him triple over-time,
w/benefits and a retirement, with paid vacation, to get him to help you
misundestand the simplicity of the Gospel contained therein. However,
many are being helped to misunderstand for nothing. Actually, people
will pay their tithes and offerings to have some leaders misinterpret
the Bible for them. The purpose of the Holy Spirit is to lead us and
guide us into all Truth. Not human reasoning...
