Daniel Kirk has a post<\/a> on (1) whether Jesus is \u201ctreated like God\u201d and (2) even if he is, would that imply that he was understood to\u00a0be<\/em> God in some essential or substantial sense.

But what\u2019s more, there is a lively discussion going on in the comments section, and apparently no mention of my own views yet, so perhaps sending some readers\/commenters over will help remedy that! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
