Was Jesus God manifest in the Flesh?

Question

1 Timothy 3:16

Answer 1

Yes.

Mat 1:23 Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.

Heb 2:14 Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil;

Answer 2

There's some evidence that Jesus never existed and was an extension of earlier traditions, however, that's not how I am going to answer you. Jesus is NOT and has never been anything other than a MAN. One of the fundamental flaws of the theology that Christianity brings to the table is the elevation of a MAN to the level of God (if there is one). Even IF Jesus were the Messiah he'd still be MORTAL and not a God. Of course there's ample evidence that he wasn't and isn't the Messiah...let alone "God manisfested in the Flesh".

Yes he met SOME of the criteria laid out in the OT to be Messiah but not all. If Jesus were in fact more than HUMAN than we would have ceased to exist at either of the following two points in time: At the time of Jesus death or the time of his rising from the grave. Our judgement and ascent to Heaven (if there is one) or decent into Hell (if there is one) would have occurred right then and there. Additionally, most if not all Christian sects claim he died to absolve humanity from sin; were that the case than: Why is there still sin today? Theologically speaking to elevate Jesus beyond being a great teacher with a global message is BLASTPHEMY on the highest order. PEACE!

Answer 6

Wayne S,
We are in agreement. The Son of god is the same essence of God. Not only in the New Testament, but in many places it is said in the Old Testament.

In whom are we to put our trust?
Psalms 2:10 Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: be instructed, ye judges of the earth.
11 Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling.
12 Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him.

We risk His wrath for not putting our trust in the Son.

In who do we put our trust? Over and over again the Old Testament answers:
Psalms 4:5 Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, and put your trust in the LORD.

Did the Old Testament tell any to trust in any other and make sacrifices to any other?
Exodus 22:20 He that sacrificeth unto any god, save unto the LORD only, he shall be utterly destroyed.
No!
But the scripture does say this:
Exodus 20:3 Thou shalt have no other gods before me.

And so what does the Old Testament say about the Son?
Daniel 7:13 I saw in the night visions, and, behold, one like the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of days, and they brought him near before him.
14 And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, should serve him: his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed.

So we by Exodus 20 find that we only are to have one God to serve, and by Daniel 7 we find all people, nations, and languages serving Him without end.

What did Jesus say?
John 5:39 Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.

The scriptures that they had were the Old Testament. It was of a form much like what we have today, though typically in scroll form and in a different language, of course.

And then we get to this passage:
Luke 24:27 And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself.

They make it sound like a lot! Yet you read all over the Old Testament many things concerning himself. He is to be worshipped and served. Those are things that are undeniably set aside for God only!

Answer 10

YES. It is not a metaphore either. Dont try to "figure" out what the "hidden" meanings are...just take it for what it says.
