2 | Jesus not God in the flesh | Rom 3:4 | mbooker | 56429 | ||
I have a question concerning the following: 'Jesus was only a perfect man, not God in flesh, Reasoning from the Scriptures, 1985, pp. 306.' John 1:1-2 says: In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. So, given that, The Word equals God. In verse 14, 'And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.' So if the Word equals God (the Word was God) and the Word (God) was made flesh. And if John 1 is speaking of Jesus, how is He NOT God (the Word) in the flesh (the Word was made flesh)? |

Hi kalos Sorry I was misunderstood there :). I wasn't thinking that you believed the listing you posted. And my question wasn't directed at you to answer. Maybe someone who believe Jesus wasn't God in the flesh will see the post and respond. Also, I just post another question to you r'Jehova's Witnessess in a Nutshell' post and those questions weren't directed at you to answer. I believe you and I are on the same page with this one. I posted just to get us (JWs and non JWs alike thinking) :). I'll do that search to read up on what you have posted. Abba Father bless you and keep you |
