Jesus was in the Form of God [17:11]
by Dustin Smith & J.J. Fletcher rated at 2.4 (10 votes so far)
To be 'in the form' of God has led many to believe that Jesus is God Himself. Is this true? What is Paul trying to tell the reader in Philippians 2 when he identifies Jesus as being 'in the form of God?' Continuing the Exegetical Insights tradition, this episode endeavors to unpack the meaning of this section from the passage itself.

A "Preexistent" Jesus in Philippians 2:6-11?
by David Maas [5 pages]
rated at 1 (out of 5 votes)
Philippians 2:5-11 is not Paul’s attempt to explain the “Incarnation” or how a divine being divested himself of his divine prerogatives. It is not an exposition about the preexistence of Christ. Instead Paul uses a real life example from the life of Jesus to illustrate his appeal for humility and mutual submission. Like Adam Jesus was in the “form of God.” Unlike Adam he did not attempt to become “like God.” Instead he chose to deny himself his rights and took on the form of a servant. In obedience to his Father he embraced the shameful death of the cross rather than attempt to seize likeness with God.
