For what purpose was God manifest in the flesh?

Question

Hebrews 2:9, 14

First correct answer get's the point's!

Answer 1

God was in the flesh aka Jesus he came into the world to save us from our sin

Answer 2

I think, mainly because since the sin and consequential death came from man, righteousness and consequential restoration and life needed to come through man as well. But since man was "infected", unable and even unwilling to undertake such a task, he was fatefully lost. The only one qualified was God himself, so God himself manifested in the flesh and accomplished everything as a man and that is why "the mystery of godliness is great: God was revealed in the flesh"

Romans 5:18-19: So then as through one trespass, all men were condemned; even so through one act of righteousness, all men were justified to life. For as through the <> many were made sinners, even so through <> will many be made righteous.

Answer 3

Your question reminds me of those stupid key chains, t-shirts, stickers etc... "WWJD" Jesus was God manifest in the flesh to let people know that living a Holy life was possible. If Jesus can come down and dwell among us as human----then we can certainly aspire to be like Him. He proved it could be done and that it wasn't easy. You may even die for your belief and love of God.

Answer 5

Jesus is the Sun of God?
The history of the sun, is the history of Jesus Christ. The sun is born on the 25th of December, the birthday of Jesus Christ
. The first and greatest of the labors of Jesus Christ is his victory over the serpent, the evil principle, or the devil. In his first labor Hercules strangled the serpent, as did Krishna, Bacchus, etc. his is the sun triumphing over the powers of hell & darkness; &, as he increases, he prevails, till he is crucified in the heavens, or is decussated in the form of a cross (according to Justin Martyr) when he passes the equator at the vernal equinox. (ibid, p. 200)
In reading the New Testament we must cease to think of the man Jesus, & even of the “Son of God”, & think of him
rather of the sun of god, for this is a solar myth, & its dying hero, a dying sun. (Lloyd Graham, Deceptions and Myths
of the Bible, p. 361)
“The divine teacher is called, is tested by the “adversary”, gathers disciples, heals the sick, preaches the Good News
about God’s kingdom, finally runs afoul of his bitter enemies, suffers, dies, & is resurrected after 3 days. This is the
total pattern of the sun god in all the ancient dramas”. (The Pagan Christ, p. 145)


When the Council of Nicea took place, the Emperor Constantine
- Declared the Roman Sun-day to be the Christian Sabbath
- Adopted the traditional birthday of the Sun-god, & the twenty-fifth of December, as the birthday of Jesus;
- Borrowed the emblem of the Sun-god, the cross of light, to be the emblem of Christianity;
- And, although the statue of Jesus replaced the idol of the Sun-god, decided to incorporate all the ceremonies which were performed at the Sub-gods birthday celebrations into their own ceremonies.

“The Christian religion contains nothing but what Christians hold in common with the heathen; nothing new” (Greek philosopher Celsus)
The parallels between the life of Krishna, as recorded in the sacred books of India, & of the life of Jesus Christ, as related in the sacred anthology of the Christians, is so close that some scholars have believed that the Christian writers copied their account from the Hindus. (John G. Jackson, Christianity Before Christ, p. 79)
The scholar Arthur Weigall describes that Osiris was crucified upon a tree, like many previous ‘man-gods’, the cross was not unique, its pagan symbol. The Jehovah Witnesses believe that Jesus was crucified upon a ‘stake’. But the ‘tree story’ was indeed plagiarized from the story of Osiris & Isis.i-e;
And we are witnesses of all things which he did both in the land of the Jews, & in Jerusalem; whom they slew and hanged on a tree: (Acts 10:39)
Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed [is] every one that hangeth on a tree: (Galatians 3:13)
"The Popular & widespread religion of Osiris & Isis exercised considerable influence upon early Christianity, for these two great Egyptian deities, whose worship had passed into Europe were revered in Rome & in several other centres, where Christian communities were growing up. Osiris & Isis, so runs the legend, were brother & sister & also husband & wife; but Osiris was murdered, his coffined body being thrown into the Nile, & shortly afterwards the widowed & exiled Isis gave birth to a son, Horus. The coffin, meanwhile, was washed up on the Syrian coast, & became miraculously lodged in the trunk of a tree, so that Osiris, like other sacrificed gods, could be described as having been.' slain and hanged on a tree.'
Obviously, Paul himself was not a Pharisee but Gentile convert from paganism. Paul was advocating a doctrine that seemed to have far more in common with pagan myths than with Judaism: that Jesus was a divine-human person who had descended
to Earth from the heavens & experienced death for the express purpose of saving mankind. The very fact that the
Jews found this doctrine new and shocking shows that it plays no role in the Jewish scripture,

Answer 6

9But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels, now crowned with glory and honor because he suffered death, so that by the grace of God he might taste death for everyone.
10In bringing many sons to glory, it was fitting that God, for whom and through whom everything exists, should make the author of their salvation perfect through suffering. 11Both the one who makes men holy and those who are made holy are of the same family. So Jesus is not ashamed to call them brothers. 12He says,
"I will declare your name to my brothers;
in the presence of the congregation I will sing your praises."[c] 13And again,
"I will put my trust in him."[d] And again he says,
"Here am I, and the children God has given me."[e]

14Since the children have flesh and blood, he too shared in their humanity so that by his death he might destroy him who holds the power of death—that is, the devil—

Answer 7

To show us that is possible to be wrapped in this flesh yet still live a clean life and to demonstrate his sovereignty.

Answer 8

I guess you have to walk a mile in my shoes to understand me and that is what He did for us. He suffered everything man suffered. Temptations, rejection. torture, shame, poverty,and many people thought he was crazy, including his own family. He was beaten, spit upon and rejected in His own town. Yet he led a sinless life so that we could be saved through HIM and His sacrifice. He made a way for us when there was no way.

Answer 9

first and foremost He had set an example that we can be human and holy at the same time, also that people won't blame God for their suffering....when judgement day comes....no one can point finger on God because when he was on this earth...he had suffered every ordinary human have undergone....hunger...pain...being despised..tortured...even death.....so much to mention...

Answer 10

To fullfill what was ordered in OT namely that Fathers only begotten Son would come to rise over death (satan/earth) to demonstrate what Father asks us all...he will never ask you to do what his only Son would do free will love

Answer 11

To save us from the devil's grip on us. So that we can spend eternity with Jesus in heaven.

Jesus came to suffer for our sins.

God Bless You, ;-)
