I've given you 3 good scriptures saying Jesus came in the flesh, I believe He was fully God and fully man.
I mean, it wasn't a spirit that was crucified and tortured, the Spirit in Him, same as the one in true Christians is how He drew His strength as the human side of Him suffered horribly, and warring against the Spirit as He was tempted in all ways we are.
JM2C :)
Yet HE himself never sinned . as i am sure you do agree . Oh and also this
We are given the spirit in part . BUT the actual SPIRIT , who do we think that is . SPIRIT OF GOD , SPIRIT OF CHRIST . one and the same .
March on in the trenches dear sister . POINT TO CHRIST . yes indeed .
I tell you it is EXPEDIANT FOR YOU that I DO GO AWAY
for i go not away , THE COMFORTER , SPIRIT cannot be sent unto you .
You have seen HIM and HE WILL BE WITH YOU . YEAH , the SPIRIT , THE WORD , GOD , exactlly .
Now lift those hands and praise the KING

And yet the Bible clearly states that Jesus of Nazareth was SUPERNATURALLY conceived by the Holy Ghost (Spirit). So you are another one of those people bringing false doctrines to Christianity Board. Does "Mr E" stand for "Mr Error"?

You think that was error? Don’t you know the scriptures?

God is spirit. John 4.

And God is not a man. Numbers 23

So who is in error?

Yes, it should seem pretty obvious that God can command the physical realm with the Holy Spirit. Genesis speaks of God's spirit creating the Universe. Jesus commanded the elements probably with the Holy Spirit. And there is Jesus Body conceived with the Holy Spirit.
Hello Devin, and thank you.

Jesus did not become the Son of God at that time. He was ETERNALLY the Only Begotten Son of God (also called "the Word of God" in John 1:1). "The same was in the beginning with God" (John 1:3) = The same was eternally with God the Father. Thus "Whose goings forth have been from of old, FROM EVERLASTING" (Micah 5:2).
Hello Enoch, and thank you.

You are still in error because you have cherry picked some verses and do not know the truth. So here is the truth: Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man? And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God. (Luke 1:34,35)

The "Holy Ghost" is the Holy Spirit and "the Highest" is God the Father, who is also Spirit. Yet Jesus of Nazareth was conceived in this manner supernaturally. So you are still in error.

If you accept the 2nd book of Enoch found in the dead sea scrolls as scripture then God the Father also has a body. Which is something that I believe also and have seen for myself.

God does have a body. And He lives in that body. It's called His temple, or His tent, or His vessel, or His house, His church, His body.

And it is you. He doesn't dwell in houses made of human hands. He dwells in a heavenly kingdom not seen-- a kingdom within. These are His words, that Jesus taught.

Does something true become untrue when highlighted? Jesus was a wonderful verse cherry picker, wasn't he? What he taught was that their understanding of certain verses, or more properly- certain concepts was in error. The verses were true, and remained true even when and especially when he explained what they really mean. "You have heard....." -he taught.... "but I say...."

In other words-- You think this means that, but I'm telling you that what you think is in error.

If you have no understanding of how the Holy Spirit comes upon a person, then your understanding of everything that follows will be lacking. But you are so eager to swing your sword. In the end you are just beating the wind.

Here is a view of what I think:

Jesus is not God’s Son in the sense of a human father and a son. God did not get married and have a son. God did not mate with Mary and, together with her, produce a son. Jesus is God’s Son in the sense that He is God made manifest in human form (John 1:1, 14).

Jesus is God’s Son in that He was conceived in Mary by the Holy Spirit. Luke 1:35 declares, “The angel answered, 'The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. So the holy one to be born will be called the Son of God.’”

Love, Walter
The statement, "So the holy one to be born will be called the Son of God.’ is the giveaway.

Even people call their pet projects, their "baby." Why not "call" a walking, talking, "babe" that grows up to be like other men as well as like no other men, His "Son?" But we should remember that all men by "their kind" were "created in the image of God"--a created "image." That God "created" everything including mankind out of a "void", meaning emptiness--nothing. He "spoke" us into being--into beings. But the key word here is "spoke." Put it together in your mind: He "spoke" an "image" into "being." He put out a word picture--it's all a word picture! What's a word picture? It's a "story." And if you didn't know before seeing or reading it--it's a "revelation." History--His story--is an image for revelation! A revelation to whom? To us--"whoever has an ear, let them hear!"

But it's all passing away...and the message is that we can either pass from it into death or into life everlasting--"therefore choose life." Jesus is Life.

Hello Scott, Amen, great post, you know ever since I made Jesus my choice all things have become a new lifestyle, thank you.

No. I do not think this means that. I gave you the verse which debunked your false notion about spirit begetting spirit. Christ was "conceived by the Holy Spirit" (as noted in the Apostles' Creed) which is exactly what is revealed in Luke. So why don't you simply admit that you were in error, and then stop calling yourself "Mr E"? Even "Mister Rogers" would be better. (BTW Mister Rogers exposed the fallacy of transgenderism long ago).

What Is The Meaning Of Jesus The Son Of God? and Why?​

OP^

God is:
Spirit, Invisible, without Beginning, without Mother, without Father, without Offspring.

His Fame is:
Holy, Creator, Maker, Omnipresent, Omnipotent, Omniscient.

I believe the MYSTERY lies in the Two Key Words...Creator and Maker.


* Thoughts, Ideas, Plan, Intent, Council, Discussion, Preparedness, Execute.
I believe God Desired to Create a Family to Love, Care For, that would Choose to Reciprocate His Love, and Be Made His Family.

* I Believe; His “Council”, IS:
His Thoughts, His Word, His Power: In Full Agreement; to execute His Plan in a Precise manner, ie Order and Way.

* God CAN NOT “produce or re-produce” an OFFSPRING.

Offsprings ARE in the Likeness of it’s Parent...ie HAS a Beginning.
God who HAS no Beginning, CAN NOT have an Offspring, “without a beginning”.

* DILEMMA...!!
How TO; Have children, a family, WITHOUT “the capability to re-produce a offspring, WITHOUT a beginning”?

* I would guess in Gods council, of His Thoughts, His Word, His Power...
The Solution to the Dilemma; CREATE and THEN MAKE the Willing Creations Be Offered the “Option”, Henceforth From their Creation, to Thereafter;
Live Forever more.

* DILEMMA...!!
The CREATED; Can NOT; see, hear, smell, touch, taste, feel, God.

* I would guess in Gods council, of His Thoughts, His Word, His Power...
THREE Major things were Decided;
1) CREATE a Formed thing, (man), with Option to Become MADE His Family.
2) MAKE that Formed thing ALIVE, with a UN-seen Soul with Gods Life.
3) CREATE and MAKE, a Habitat, FOR the Formed thing TO SEE...mysterious, yet wonderful things...planets, stars, clouds, mountains, oceans, streams, weather effects, day and night, plants springing up, fruits springing forth, plants dying, animals...

* That unseen SOUL “thingy”....IS ALL ABOUT...Communication...possible between AN UNSEEN GOD and a CREATED Formed thing, God called A MAN-KIND of thing.

* When Ancient (beginning of man-KIND), man/men HEARD from God...it was precisely THAT....”them”
~ HEARING from a VOICE their CREATED EARS could NOT HEAR, but their SOUL could Hear His VOICE;
~ Their Created EYES could not SEE, but their SOUL could See Visions.

* And nothing new...Every naturally procreated, born MAN-KIND of thing, is GIVEN a SOUL, with Gods Life, MAKING that man ABLE for God, one on one to Communicate with that one CREATED man.

God Fulfilled His Promise.
Heb 10:
[5] Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, but a body hast thou prepared me:

Heb 1:
[5] For unto which of the angels said he at any time, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee? And again, I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son...

Luke 1:
[35] And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God.

God SENT FORTH, out of HIS MOUTH....His Word Accomplished...And Returned to God.

John 16:

John 16:

John 17:
[8] For I have given unto them the words which thou gavest me; and they have received them, and have known surely that I came out from thee, and they have believed that thou didst send me.

John 19:
[28] After this, Jesus knowing that all things were now accomplished, that the scripture might be fulfilled, saith, I thirst.

God is spirit. Spirit gives birth to spirit. NOT flesh.

Flesh gives birth to flesh. People are too quick to equate one with the other, while scripture makes it clear that the physical and the spiritual are separate. "The holy one" is not flesh, but spirit. The son of God HAS to be spirit and not flesh because the Father in heaven is spirit and not flesh. I know this idea is upsetting to many. That doesn't change anything. People get trapped by their ideas and some never escape those prisons of their own making.

Hi Taken, I must agree Brother, I can remember when Jesus said to take His yoke upon ourselves and learn of Him, but I did not expect soo much of the world's influences away from the truth, but only if we would continue in His words.
