And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. (Philippians 2:8) The words humbled himself is accurate for God cannot be emptied as the modern theologians erroneously insist. The words ‘emptied’ and ‘humbled’ are not synonymous. God cannot be emptied of His divine Being. He cannot be emptied of His righteousness. He cannot be emptied of His essential power and Godhead.

Christ, however, came to rectify the emptiness of Adam with the fullness of the Godhead bodily. – Michael Haigh
