The Deity Of Christ

2. Two Unscriptural Views
Jesus left His divine attributes in heaven and came to earth as man.
Jesus was a created being; He did not exist as God before the creation of the world.

6. How does this reconcile?

We cannot understand the way we would like! But we know for sure He is God!
