Just wondering what others think on this;
Did Jesus come, teach and work miracles in His own power as God
Or
Did Jesus come, not ceasing to be God, but choosing not to work in His own power but that of the Holy Spirit. (Philippians 2:6&7).
Or what other veiws are there?

The Kenosis theory is a dangerous doctrine because if it were true then it would mean that Jesus was not fully divine.  If Jesus was not fully divine, then His atoning work would not be sufficient to atone for the sins of the world.
     
The correct doctrine is the Hypostatic Union, that Jesus is both fully God and fully man (Col. 2:9) and did not give up any divine attributes while as a man on earth.
