Seconds of Pre Embryonic Life of Jesus Christ?

[Sean]

Colossians 2:9, all the fullness of God did not fit in the body of Jesus prior to his resurrection. Jesus did not become omnipresent until he resurrected.

[TK Burk]

John 1:1....In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
John 1:14....And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

The idea that God couldn't "fit inside Jesus" is as silly as the medieval argument on how many angels could dance on the head of a pin.

God is a Spirit. As such, He does not occupy space.

God "filled" the area of the Most Holy Place in the Tabernacle and in the First Temple, so He most certainly could "fit inside Jesus."

Sean, what a ridiculous thing to say.

I Timothy 3:16 And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.

Colossians 1:15-20
15....Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature:
16....For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:
17....And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.
18....And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence.
19....For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell;
20....And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven.

"Image of God" and "through His blood" speaks of Jesus before His resurrection. Notice verse 19 has "all fulness" dwelling in Jesus at that time.

When Paul wrote this epistle, there was no "Colossians 2". Instead, chapter 1 went right into chapter 2. So, the "For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily"....(Colossians 2:9) continued what was said about the "all fulness dwell" in Colossians 1:9. Thus, the "fullness" in Christ was before Calvary, not after the resurrection.

Sean, you act as if the "Godhead" is a physical entity. Maybe a gathering of Deities? It is a term that refers to God's nature. Thus, the "fulness of the Godhead" refers to the "fulness of God's nature." We know Jesus manifested that trait before His death, thus He had all that fullness of God's nature before His resurrection.

John 1:15-18
15....John bare witness of him, and cried, saying, This was he of whom I spake, He that cometh after me is preferred before me: for he was before me.
16....And of his fulness have all we received, and grace for grace.
17....For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.
18....No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.

Verse 16's "fullness" is the same "fullness" as found in Colossians 1:19 and 2:9.

Pre-crucifixion, Sean, not post-resurrection.

Actually, his omnipresence was available to him while on earth, but he laid it aside until his ascension and glorification.

No comment, but just jokes?

Right, because you have no questions or opinions.

The Godhead subject is a bit too tough for you.

It's okay, do what the Pope tells you, my H/U friend,
