Jesus as God and Man

[baller91]

Most Christians believe that Jesus is "true God and true man" (or fully divine and fully human). Jesus is believed to have become fully human in all respects, including mortality, and to have suffered the pains and temptations of mortal man, yet without having sinned. From being true God he was capable of breaking the bonds of death and rising up again through what is known as the resurrection. The Chalcedonian Creed (which is not accepted by the Oriental Orthodox Churches) defined this as Christ having "two natures in one person", a doctrine known to theologians as hypostatic union (see Christology).

 

[BARNEY BRIGHT]

This belief of Jesus being a God man or God in the flesh, I haven't found in the scriptures. What I have found in the scriptures is what Peter said, that Jesus is the Christ, the son of the living God. Which is what we are all to believe. It's also stated in God's word that what Peter stated isn't from a human point of view but Jesus Father who is God revealed this to Peter.(Matthew 16:16-17) So the person who is Jesus Father and God(John 20:17) revealed to Peter that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the living God. How a person interprets a scripture I will not necessarily agree with, when the interpretation of a scripture a person interprets, contradicts that after Jesus resurrection from the dead that human teaches or interprets that we don't have the same Father and God that scripture shows is also the Father and God of Jesus. Jesus didn't lie when he said after his resurrection from the dead he has a Father and God that is also his apostles and disciples Father and God.

Was Adam God? Jesus was his equivalent, God's son as the Bible states at Jn 3:16

 

[Matthias]

Jesus as God and man.

Trinitarianism, binitarianism and unitarianism all offer explanations concerning how the circumstance should best be understood.

Church history shows us that there is unity and diversity in Christianity.
