Is there an official stance on the nature of the “emptying” of Christ in Phillipians 2:5-8
“For let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: Who being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: But emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, being made in the likeness of men, and in habit found as a man. He humbled himself, becoming obedient unto death, even to the death of the cross.”
Is the nature of the emptying of Christ that he decided that when he took on a human nature to not utilize certain or all of his divine attributes or does it simply mean that Christ emptied himself by simply adding a human nature to his person yet while still utilizing all of his divine attributes simutaneously? Or is it something else?
