Re: Phil. 2:6-11 - Christ and Caesar?
In the second half of verse 6 Paul seems to be challenging the meglomania and self-deification of Roman imperialism as described by Andrew. But how does the first part of the verse fit in? In particular the way Paul uses the word ’morphe’? How does this fit in with Paul’s polemic? This scripture is often used to show that Jesus is the second person of the trinity and I can see how easily this conclusion can be made.
