Everything we have in humanity was given to us by our Creators We are created in the image of God and therefore our humanity reflects His image. Why do you expect the incarnated Son of God not to have the image of God in His humanity? "Chad R.

Humanity's will, cognition, and emotion is not defined by immanence, omniscience or transcendence. To do so is to be divine and not human. The moment you have a Christ that is immanent, omniscient, or transcendent, you have a Christ that is not human.
