AMPLIFIED 2015 | John 1:14 ¶ And the Word (Christ) became flesh, and lived among us; and we [actually] saw His glory, glory as belongs to the [One and] only begotten Son of the Father, [the Son who is truly unique, the only One of His kind, who is] full of grace and truth (absolutely free of deception).

Bible Question:
My son's have come under the teaching that while Jesus was here on earth, that he was man, and not God. I believe he was the God/man. What do you think? |
Bible Answer: Jesus was not God who lost His Deity when He become man. He was not a man who became God when he ascended to heaven. He was fully God and fully man when He lived on this earth. If He was nothing but a man, His death on the cross would have been meaningless. The teaching of the Deity of Jesus Christ is so fundamental and indispensable to the Christian faith that any denial of it proscribes entry into His kingdom. Put another way, anyone who denies the Deity of Jesus Christ is not, and cannot be, a Christian. --Hank |
