2. Uh...Jesus was a...you know...a socialist.
We will welcome you into the Christian brotherhood as one who recieves Jesus as the Lord, who happens to be a socialist.
Your socialism doesn't scare me. Receive Christ as your Lord and Master then, why don't you ?

The man Jesus Christ is so important that God stands 10000% behind Him and has universalized Him.
To speak to the man Jesus is to speak with God. God has infused Him with universality.

The concise economy version of the answer:
The WORD who was God became flesh. He took on something that He did not have in eternity past - His creation. He became a man.
That human part that He took on, He will NEVER put away again. In resurrection He uplifted and sanctified it bringing that part which He took on into something eternal of divinity. He became in resurrection The Firstborn Son of God.
His resurrection was a BIRTH. He uplifted and sanctified that part which He took upon Himself in incarnation. He went back to the eternal throne of God wearing humanity FOREVER.
Now that is the short response. In eternity past He had only divinity. In eternity future He has divinity AND humanity. He brought God into man. Then He brought man into God.
He came the as the only begotten Son of God. He resurrected as the Firstborn Son of God, "Godnizing" that created part in which He had been incarnated.... FOREVERRRRR !!!! Amen.
