Jesus did not only claim to be God after He resurrected.

He claimed to be God before He was crucified (John 8:58, Exodus 3:14, John 8:24). The Pharisees and scribes accurately understood what He was claiming (John 8:59, John 10:31-33).
Rather, Jesus said his God was inside him in John 14.

He never said that he was the God inside him....

Therefore, when the human Jesus said that the Father was in Him and He in the Father, He was speaking from the perspective of His humanity, and referring to His Deity. For He was and is His Spirit.

Questions, is God divided between flesh and Spirit?

Is God still humanity?

How much of God's Spirit being is infected by frail humanity today, percentage wise?

Please elaborate on God's new humanity attachment...thanks.

Jesus is 100% God and 100% Man.

Also, the Holy Ghost is absolutely one with the spirit of every saint (1 Corinthians 6:17, Ephesians 3:19)...and connected to their humanity in this way.

Jesus is currently a Man sitting on the right hand of the throne of God.

So God is 100% man?

Wow.

Jesus is, in the hypostatic union, yes.
So God is 100% man.

A man/God.

What a miserable demotion.

Funny...per Peter, we are partakers of God's divine nature, but now per incarnationists, God is a partaker of our human nature?

Egad, poor God...He reversed roles with His creation.

What a divine disaster.

I am simply going to pray for you, @Truther.

But I am also going to obey Romans 16:17 concerning you; for you obviously hold to a doctrine that is not a part of orthodox Christianity.

1 John 4:1-3 and 2 John 1:7 might tell you, if you have open ears, that in denying the incarnation of God in Jesus Christ, you carry the spirit of antichrist. But I don't expect that information alone to change you; for what we are dealing with is a spirit; and it has deceived you into believing against very sound doctrine.

The non-incarnation doctrine is not what defines the spirit of antichrist...but the incarnation defines it.

The incarnation teaches GOD is come in the flesh, not the man Christ Jesus is come......

Think about it.
