The Highway Forums General Discussion Theology Discussion Forum 3rd Verse of "And Can it Be"

I have just a few problems:

This is not a true statement as He was/is still God and if he emptied himself of ALL but love, then we need to ask if God truly died for us?, etc. "Emptied Himself" after the previous phrase (He left His Father's throne above) is a dangerous statement, et. AL. Hendriksen was quite correct when he asked concerning Phil 2:7: “Of what did Christ empty himself? Surely not of his existence ‘in the form of God.'"

Only in a common grace way can we say it was for ALL Adam's helpless race. The "I bought donuts" doesn't say for whom the donuts were bought, while "Adam's helpless race" is pretty specific ("all" being implied and most likely what Wesley meant)
