1) I believe that when we say God became incarnate, that he came, robbed in flesh to us.
2) This tells us that God, when He came to pay for our sins, that He wanted to make sure that when our debt was payed, the sacrifice had to go through every stage of life, so it would be acceptable.
3) I believe God did come and experienced every part of life, and made it through without sin. Although this is true, how he made it through without sin is unknown to me. Was he basically just activating his "God form" when He needed to not sin, or was he just still all knowing, and was able to avoid sin? This is still unknown to me, and I doubt anyone will know for sure til we are in Heaven.
Good questions at the end there, Daran. These are mysterious questions, indeed! (And just an FYI: whenever I give a slew of questions like this, you ned not answer each of them as individual responses. The multitude of questions is aimed at helping give you a lot of different ways to consider the basic subject - in this case, the incarnation. I want you to freely respond without the need to interrupt or abbreviate your thinking.)
