GINOLJC, just saw this topic, great. have not read all the replies. so........
Jesus nature?... Spirit, (John 4:24a), never born, Son of man. in flesh "spirit", born, (Matthew 1:23), Son of God . see the difference? lets understand this. Philippians 2:6 "Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God". Form here is the Greek term,
G3444 μορφή morphe (mor-fee') n.
1. form.
2. (intrinsically) fundamental nature.
[perhaps from the base of G3313 (through the idea of adjustment of parts)]
KJV: form
Root(s): G3313
From definition #2 above, our Lord Jesus have the same Nature "EQUAL" ... WITH, not TO ... but equal "WITH" the Spirit whom we call God. meaning our Lord have or is that SAME ONE Spirit. but by being in the likeness of MAN, (Philippians 2:7), he G2758 κενόω kenoo (ke-no-ō') himself in it, (the flesh). so how could he do that and the world.. the universe continue, (meaning being upheld by his power) if he G2758 κενόω kenoo himself while in flesh? well the word for form, (concerning his "NATURE" answer that for us and everything else concering his nature). in G3444 μορφή morphe (mor-fee') n. above, it says the ROOT of this word is Root(s): G3313
ok, what do G3313 means? answer,
G3313 μέρος meros (me'-ros) n.
1. a portion (i.e. an amount allotted, a part of something).
2. a part.
3. (as an adverb) partly, in part.
4. (as a participle) participating (i.e. the act of taking part in).
5. a piece (i.e. a limited portion).
6. (of location) a district.
7. (of livelihood) an occupation (i.e. as ones' portion in life).
8. a portion in Jesus (see John 13:8).
{literally or figuratively, in a wide application}
[from an obsolete but more primary form of μείρομαι mȇírȏmai “to get as a section or allotment”]
KJV: behalf, course, coast, craft, particular (+ -ly), part (+ -ly), piece, portion, respect, side, some sort(-what)
There is our ANSWER in definition #1... "a portion" what's another word for "portion?", answer SHARE. Jesus our Saviour is the ALLOTTED Portion, or the EQUAL "Share" of God in Flesh. for the term "allotted" means, give or apportion (something) to someone as a share or task. God is not a Part of himself, nor is he a separation of himself in parts, NO, he's the EQUAL "SHARE" of himself in flesh.
Lets make this simple. Jesus was Never born, (Spirit), as a matter of fact no Human spirit is BORN of a woman, only our flesh is born of Women. our spirit comes from God and after we die returns to God who gave it in the beginning. so what was "BORN?" answer "FLESH and BONE with BLOOD". so what was born of the Lord Jesus? his flesh that he came in, supportive scripture,
Matthew 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". was that prepared? yes, Hebrews 10:5 "Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, but a body hast thou prepared me". now that right there just answered Genesis 1:26 as to the "US" and the "OUR" as to who made man. and God, who is "a" Spirit, ONE.
now knowing that, his titles, "Lord" is his ...... BODY ... Son, on Earth. "LORD" all cap, is his un-G2758 κενόω kenoo Spirit in Heaven, Father. when Jesus on earth in the flesh body say "My Father in heaven", he is simply saying My Spirit in heaven. and the Spirit in heaven says my Son, he's simply saying my Body on earth. supportive scripture, John 3:13 "And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven". while God, Jesus, the Spirit, shared in flesh on earth in a body was speaking to Nicodemus, at the same time was in heaven. BINGO.
now how is this "SHARING" Done? answer "DIFFERENTIATION", and the Greek term that clearly defines this diffrentation of allotted "sharing" is G243 ἄλλος allos (al'-los) in English, "ANOTHER" of oneself, not two, and definitly not three, but one Spirit shared of himself. Jesus the Christ is the EQUAL ALLOTTED "SHARE" of God himself in Flesh. better Known as the "OFFSPRING" or the Diversity of God in flesh. hence my belife, "DIVERSITY", or "diversified oneness". ONE God, ONE PERSON, DIVERSIFIED of himself by the sharing of himself in flesh. and Yes, diversity is in the bible under "Offspring".
so the Nature of our Lord Jesus is "spirit" the "equal" share of God himself, shared in flesh. and now resurrected, and Glorified, now operates without restriction in a body of Glorified flesh and bones, (Luke 24:39). that's it in a nut shell.
