JESUS ' CHRIST IS THE SON OF GOD
How could Jesus be God when He was the Son of man, Matt.16:13 ? How could Jesus be God when He was the Son of God, John 3:16 ? How could Jesus be the Son of "God the Father" when He was begotten by the Holy Ghost, Matt. 1:20 ? "And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness : God was manifest in the flesh , ( GOD WAS ) justified in the Spirit , ( GOD WAS ) seen of angels , ( GOD WAS ) preached unto the Gentiles , ( GOD WAS ) believed on in the world , ( GOD WAS ) received up into glory." Jn. 4:24 , God is a Spirit ; a spirit hath not flesh & bones , Lk . 24:39 ; but That Spirit became flesh , Jer. 23 : 5 - 6.
God throughout the Old Testament did not have a Human ( Flesh & Blood ) body, until Jesus was born. Instead, He appeared to people in different forms such as the burning bush to Moses, the cloud by day and the pillar of fire by night to the children of Israel. Also, He sent His angels to many who appeared as men, but no one ever saw God before Jesus was born, John 1 : 18.
Gen. 2 : 7, "And the LORD God formed man of the
dust of the ground," ( Without the aid of a father and mother ). Then, why would it seem such an impossible thing for God, the eternal Spirit, to overshadow Mary, a virgin girl, ( Which He did, Luke 1: 26 - 38 ) and make Himself a human body ? Isaiah 9:6 -7.
( Note : God's Human Form had to be Completely Spirit Begotten ;
therefore , God kept Mary's eggs infertile until after Jesus was born. )
God, the ETERNAL SPIRIT, was the Father of the flesh, Jer. 32:27 ; this made Jesus The Son of God , Lk. 1 : 30 -35. Although it wasn't Joseph's seed that made JESUS, Joseph had to be David's Direct Descendant so Mary could Legally Acquire David's Family Name. So, Jesus was called The Son of man because he was born into Joseph's family ; this made JESUS David's Legal Heir, Matt.1:16 -25. Colossians 2 : 9, "For in him ( JESUS ) dwelleth all the fullness of the Godhead bodily." Jesus is the image of the invisible God, Col.1:15.
JESUS' Flesh , or GOD'S Flesh , was THE LAMB OF GOD offered in death as the atonement for the sins of the world, Jn. 1:19 - 37 / Isa. 53 / Rev. 5. In the flesh, Jesus was a man; in the Spirit, He was God - 1 Tim. 2 : 5. Lk. 24 : 36 - 43 ~ As a man, Jesus ate; as God, He multiplied bread and fish. As a man, Jesus slept in the boat; as God, He arose and calmed the stormy waves. As a man, Jesus prayed at the grave of Lazarus; as God, He raised Lazarus from the dead. As a man, Jesus spent nights in prayer; as God, He forgave sins and performed great miracles. As a man, Jesus died; as God, He raised Himself from the dead, John 2:19. Jesus was God and man; Father and Son; Spirit and flesh in One Image / One Body, Col. 2 : 9. Jesus declared Himself to be in heaven while He was on earth, John 3:13. He who was born in Bethlehem was from everlasting, Micah 5:2. Almighty God purchased His Church with His Own Blood, Acts 20:28.
