Now what was _that_ supposed to mean?

My 'take' is that the statement "did not operate as God" is _seriously_
confused. As was pointed out long ago, it was not by His divinity that He wept
at the death of His friend, and it was not by His humanity that He raised him
(Lazarus) from the dead.

How can anyone believe He "did not operate as God" after seeing the resurrection
of Lazarus?

BB asserted that JW's don't believe in salvation by works.
Yet here we have the JW party line and it clearly says that
Jesus' merits apply only to the _obedient_.

Those who believe in the Son of God
that he is their eternal life
have eternal life
and are being transformed into his likeness.
His likeness is love, joy, peace,
patience, kindness, goodness,
faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.

Those who do not believe in the Son
do not have eternal life
and continue to conform
to the pattern of this world,
its desires and its boasting.
