If He was NOT human, nothing He achieved would matter to us. He is the "first-born" as Spirit and we are to follow. Your beliefs require magical thinking and nonsense that has NEVER been the point. You are a fundamentalist who follows one master - the Bible - and denies the New Covenant. You cannot serve two masters. Either you follow the Bible or you follow the Spirit of agape love (Who IS God) and His guide - the Comforter sent in Christ's name.
No, it is your New Age beliefs that are the magical thinking and nonsense. I follow Christ and "conveniently" whatever He speaks to me always lines up with principles found in the Bible, once He opens my eyes to them. That's called a witness, and fulfills the part of the law where it takes TWO.
You have no clue what the New Covenant entails because you have denied it by being deceived into thinking you have to die physically to get it. If that were true then He died for us in vain, because we'd still be dying in our sins, no different than before He came. Your way, all that means is the second death WILL affect your soul and not in a good way. Wake up while you still have time and cast down that seducing spirit that has taken you captive with pleasant-to-the-flesh words. Peace

Rbbi, would you be willing to explain why you think that someone who believes in abiding in and following a Spirit of love is being "held captive" by the "flesh"?

How does one identify what the "Spirit of Love" is telling them? How does one discern it as being different from a bad taco?
Do you have trouble discerning between love and a bad taco, Viz?
All the organs of the body were having a meeting, trying to decide who was the one in charge.
I should be in charge, said the brain, because I run all the body's systems, so without me nothing would happen.
I should be in charge, said the blood, because I circulate oxygen all over so without me you'd all waste away.
I should be in charge, said the stomach, because I process food and give all of you energy.
I should be in charge, said the legs, because I carry the body wherever it needs to go.
I should be in charge, said the eyes, because I allow the body to see where it goes.
I should be in charge, said the rectum, because I'm responsible for waste removal.
All the other body parts laughed at the rectum and insulted him, so in a huff, he shut down-tight.
Within a few days, the brain had a terrible headache; the stomach was bloated; the legs got wobbly;
the eyes were watery; and the blood was toxic. They all decided that the rectum should be the boss.

You added to my words but I'll answer your point.
1) The Spirit is not divided. Someone espousing New Age doctrines of devils is a clear sign of division from His Spirit.
2) The Spirit of G-d IS love, but it is also righteousness, and teaching His people to transgress and calling it love, is missing the mark. His love is not a feel good emotion in the first place; it's a SPIRIT.
3) His love does not engender or promote bondage to the flesh of idols, but rather the liberty of the Spirit, which is NOT the "anything goes, I'm ok, you're ok" mantra, who cares if you add philosophy, eastern mysticism, or New Age lies to the Word as long you say you're following "love", nor is it throwing away His level, His Word, His witness.
4) The liberty of the Spirit brings true peace, not as man thinks of peace which is emotion based. But true peace is a work of the Spirit. True peace is when the flesh is no longer warring against the Spirit, and the double edged sword of the Word is the only antidote for that.
5) True grace is HIS love crying out for His mercy. It's all about the work of HIS Spirit, and it's not feeding spiritual poison to the body all the while telling them you love them and promote mercy. It's not mercy to put or leave someone in bondage to the things of the flesh or the carnal "wisdom" of men. Peace

Well, let me put it another way: Do you think that someone who believes in abiding in and following a Spirit of love is being held captive to the flesh because they believe that?
