"The Word was made man, in order that man might be made divine. He
displayed Himself through a body, that we might receive knowledge of the invisible Father. He endured insult at the hands of men, that we might
inherit immortality. In Himself He suffered no injury, being impassable and immortal, and very Word of God. But in His impassability, He was guarding
and saving the suffering man, for whose sake He endured this treatment."

St. Athanasius, On the Incarnation of the Word.

"But when the fullness of the time had come, God sent forth His Son, born
of a woman, born under the law, to redeem those who were under the law,
that we might receive the adoption as sons." Galatians 4:4-5

Draw nigh unto God and He will draw nigh unto you.

Then why was his body distorted beyond all belief? Why did he suffer
and shed his blood that was a whole part of who he was and is?

Why does his eternal body have nail prints in it, and why is there a
gaping hole in his side that you can put your hand into?

He did indeed suffer injury, to take our injuries upon himself, both
spiritual and physical. To deny that is to deny his work.

The omnipresence of God states that *everything* is Divine. For man to consider himself to be more divine than anything else represents the sin (error) of pride and/or vanity.

Why do bananas have no bones?

God and Adam were having a conversation in the Garden shortly before the Fall, and Adam was thanking God for the beautiful totality of Creation. God thanked Adam and asked, "Glad you like it! Do you have any questions?"

Adam thought a moment, then asked: "Just one-- what's the purpose of it all?"

God asked him back: "Does everything have to have a purpose?"

"Yes, of course!"

"Then I leave it to you to figure one out," and He left.

He did indeed suffer injury, to take our injuries upon himself, both spiritual and physical. To deny that is to deny his work.

There is zero point in denying His crucifixion, suffering, death, and resurrection.

My comment on the omnipresence of God goes to your original comment, "Draw nigh
unto God and He will draw nigh unto you" as it requires dualism and denies God's omnipresence. Eliminate the dualism, embrace omnipresence. I think you'll catch my drift.
