You state, "Jesus simply restrained certain attributes in order to take on the nature of a man." And then you state: "Jesus never lost His power as God when was incarnate as a man". Now, I ask 'which is it'?
There is a difference between restraining something and losing it.

By restrain I mean that he held back certain attributes on his own accord, such as omnipotence. But even then omnipotence was demonstrated in many of his miracles. Jesus is omnipotent, but in becoming a man he held that back. In the garden of Gethsemane he knew what was coming and he could have escaped. He let them take him to be crucified.

Now, can God DIE? Is it POSSIBLE for God to PHYSICALLY DIE. Or is it EVEN possible for God to 'take on' the FLESH. For we have been TOLD that the FLESH is 'something' that God WON'T even LOOK UPON.
Philippians 2:5-8(NASB)
5 Have this attitude in yourselves which was also in Christ Jesus, 6 who, although
He existed in the form of God, did not regard equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied Himself, taking the form of a bond-servant, and being made in the likeness of men. 8 Being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross.

The 'Bible' PLAINLY states that NO MAN has EVER 'seen' God. Yet YOU would have me BELIEVE that Jesus WAS God. Hmmmmmmmmm.........
John 14:8-10(NASB)
Philip said to Him, "Lord, show us the Father, and it is enough for us." 9 Jesus said to him, "Have I been so long with you, and yet you have not come to know Me, Philip? He who has seen Me has seen the Father; how can you say, `Show us the Father'? 10 "Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father is in Me? The words that I say to you I do not speak on My own initiative, but the Father abiding in Me does His works.
John 1:1-4(NASB)
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was in the beginning with God. 3 All things came into being through Him, and apart from Him nothing came into being that has come into being. 4 In Him was life, and the life was the Light of men.
Would you be willing to tell everyone here that you flat out deny the deity of Jesus Christ?
