You didn't read what I wrote.  Christ did have will, cognition, and emotion as an
image-bearer.  But like all human image-bearers, that will, cognition, and emotion
was not immanent, omniscient, omnipotent, or transcendent.  His will, cognition, and
emotion had to be taught and informed by others and the experiences of life.  He
"learned".

Christ was the ultimate image-bearer in perfectly executing the Father's will.
