All men were in Adam are now in Christ but still O.S exists

I happen to believe that Jesus became One of us just like it says and that He learned and grew, just like the rest of us and that He was just as empty headed just like the rest of us at birth, “in all ways just like us except for sin” and that He wasn’t lying when He said that He “didn’t know when He was coming back”.

I don’t know what “assuming human nature” even means and I also do not care what it means, the Second Person of the Trinity, how Jesus is referred to in the Trinitarian God, became human, He didn’t assume Flesh, He became Flesh, He became a human being.

I believe that the Incarnation simply means that God became One of us and I, for one, do not need a bunch of fancy words for an explanation and I happen to “know” that the Catholic Eucharist Is Jesus since the Holy Spirit revealed this to me and I don’t need some quasi-scientific explanation for this, It Is simply True.

Thank you for sharing the truth of the Catholic Eucharist. To have Jesus present to us is the greatest miracle of all.

At Christmas, we hear about the Shepherds and the Wise Men finding the Infant Jesus and then kneeling in adoration because God Himself was present as a human being on earth. There was no doubt that this tiny, helpless person was truly almighty God. God, in all His infinite power, could take on or add human nature to Himself. God, as Creator of humans, could become human without giving up His true Divinity.

As the Person of Jesus, God spoke in a human voice with human feelings. This is why Jesus often referred to doing the will of the Father which was most important.

What may be the most difficult to understand is how One Person could have both human knowledge and Divine knowledge. As a human, Jesus could develop and grow as we humans do. This “learning” shows us that He was truly human. At times, Jesus would admit to not knowing something. Yet, at the same time, Jesus had Divine knowledge which is why He said in other places that He was not sent to reveal everything.

God does not change. Thus, Jesus did not change any part of His Divinity in order to take on (assume) human nature in the Incarnation. Being God, Jesus retained all the infinite attributes of God. Being God, Jesus could choose to be present on earth in human flesh. This choice does not mean that He temporarily gave up His Divine nature. It means that from the moment of the Incarnation, there was a union of both Divine and human natures in One Person. The human nature which Jesus received from His Mother Mary was pure without any kind of sin.

At birth, Jesus could appear to be just as empty-headed as the Shepherds and Wise Men were when they were born. It was the Holy Spirit Who revealed the fact that the Infant was truly God in all the glorious power and majesty of God. This is why the Shepherds and Wise Men, who represented all humanity, knelt in adoration.
