But Jesus Was Flesh And Blood?

Question

While thousands saw Jesus and heard his voice, Jesus himself said that this could not be done with God when he said: "No man hath seen God at any time." (John 1:18). "Ye have neither heard His voice at any time nor seen His shape." (John 5:37) He also said in John 4:24: "God is a spirit and they that worship Him must worship Him in spirit and in truth." That Jesus would say that no one had seen or heard God at any time, while his followers both saw and heard him, is clear proof that Jesus was not God.

NO ONE IS GREATER THAN GOD AND NO ONE CAN DIRECT HIM...
BUT JESUS ACKNOWLEDGED
SOMEONE GREATER THAN HIMSELF WHOSE...

Answer 1

When Jesus took on mortality He subordinated that flesh to the Father. The passages you have used that that very clear. yet other passages where Jesus claim divinity must be true as well. Not just those but the passages saying there there is one God too. So what are we to say:

1. The Father is greater than even Jesus in His mortal state.
2. That Jesus is the God of all creation
3. That God manifests Himself to us as Father. Son and Holy Spirit.

The Father is God he is all the God that there is. The Son (Jesus) is God He is all the God there is. The Holy Spirit is God and again all the God that there is. This is best understood by the mortal mind by looking at Creation. God has reveled Himself to us there as well as in the Bible.

The dimension of space are height, width and breadth. Each of these dimensions is infinite and by that definition each contains all space. Yet these dimension make up one space.

God is like that each is God all the God that can be because He is infinite yet these three are the One true God... Jim

Answer 2

No doubt God is Spirit and has no definable form. But at the same time, He can take a form also if He so chooses, which none can deny. When He has created so many forms, it is not acceptable logic that he could not take any form. The parables of Jesus can be deciphered only by those whose intellect is up to the level of Jesus. Jesus himself has said, that All are One and Be alike to everyone. The theory of Oneness is not only applicable to creation. It is applicable to creator also. I consider God and His creation are one and there is no distinction in it.

Answer 3

That is the mystery of the Holy Trinity: one God in three persons, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Jesus was in flesh in blood form when he came to earth to fulfill His mission. Jesus also said: "Those who have seen me have seen the Father. No one comes to the Father except through me. I am the way, the truth and the life."

Answer 4

When Jesus told the Pharisees who he was, he was accused of blasphemy:

Mat 26:63 But Jesus held his peace. And the high priest answered and said unto him, I adjure thee by the living God, that thou tell us whether thou be the Christ, the Son of God. 64 Jesus saith unto him, Thou hast said: nevertheless I say unto you, Hereafter shall ye see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven. 65 Then the high priest rent his clothes, saying, He hath spoken blasphemy; what further need have we of witnesses? behold, now ye have heard his blasphemy.

Why? How can you be accused of blasphemy for claiming to be a man? Jesus also claimed to be in existence before Abraham was born, yet his earthly birth had occured less than 35 years prior. (John 8). He even used the term: "I AM" (instead of I was or I existed) which is the term God used to identify himself to Moses. You are being taught incorrectly.

Answer 5

Jesus was not always flesh and blood.In the Old testament he appeared to Jacob("I have seen God face to face yet my life is preserved") Samson's parents(they had the same reaction) Gideon,Abraham at the terebinth trees.They all acknowledged they were talking to God yet we know "No man has seen God at any time "....but it also says the Son has reveled God to us.It was Jesus in those Old Testament scenes as the Word of God ".He thought it not robbery to be equal to God,yet emptied(took on human flesh) himself for our sakes."Phillipians tells us.
God is spirit,He had to take on a tent of human flesh in order to die for us.But it was not God the Father,it was God the Son.
Collasians 1 says ,"God made all things through Jesus" he was there from the very beginning of time no matter how far you go back,a billion, a quad trillion years ,Jesus was there.

Answer 6

Phil 2:5 You must have the same attitude that Christ Jesus had.

6 Though he was God,
he did not think of equality with God
as something to cling to.
7 Instead, he gave up his divine privileges;
he took the humble position of a slave
and was born as a human being.
When he appeared in human form,
8 he humbled himself in obedience to God
and died a criminal’s death on a cross.

9 Therefore, God elevated him to the place of highest honor
and gave him the name above all other names,
10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow,
in heaven and on earth and under the earth,
11 and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord,
to the glory of God the Father.

Answer 7

wait a minute jesus said no one has ever seen or heard god? doesnt that contradict the old testament account of moses seeing god? and isnt it convienent that god is invisible? good way to cover your tracks by saying no one has seen or heard this god tho in some jewish floklore no one can hear god and when they do its an angel called metatron that speaks for god

Answer 8

Jesus was 100% God and 100% man. Sure, it doesn't add up to 100% but it's God. All you have to do is believe.

Answer 9

Do you have your own portable pulpit?
What is the point of this babbling?
Do you think that it will make any difference?
Are you totally insane or just practising?

You know nothing except what you have read and been taught by others similarly deluded. Why rattle on about it? It only sets you up for ridicule.

RELIGION IS WISHFUL NON-THINKING.

Answer 10

that is out of context, He was saying to the Scribes that they seek God but do not see Him because they were blinded by there sins. Jesus is God, He died for you, so that you would not die and go to hell, repent of your sins and trust in Jesus Christ and you will be saved.
