Is Jesus Fully God, Fully Man, or a Created Being?
1) Direct answer
Jesus is God manifested in flesh—truly God and truly man. He is not a created being.
2) Scriptural explanation
- The Bible says, “God was manifested in the flesh” (1 Timothy 3:16). Not a second person—God Himself revealed in a human body.
- “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God … and the Word was made flesh” (John 1:1,14). The One who was God became flesh—Jesus Christ.
- “In him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily” (Colossians 2:9). Not a part of God, but the fullness.
- “They shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us” (Matthew 1:23).
- “By him were all things created” (Colossians 1:16). The Creator cannot be a created being.
- He truly became man: “Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same” (Hebrews 2:14). He was born of a virgin: “That holy thing … shall be called the Son of God” (Luke 1:35).
- The Scripture even says the church was purchased “with [God’s] own blood” (Acts 20:28). God had blood only when He dwelt in Jesus Christ.
3) Simple clarifying logic
- Now notice: as to His flesh, He was a man—He hungered, slept, and suffered. As to His Spirit, He is God—He forgave sins, stilled the storm, received worship, and is the Creator.
- If He were a created being, how could all things be created by Him? If He were only a man, how could God call His blood “His own”?
- It’s not three Gods. The one God was above us as Father, came among us in the Son, and now dwells in us as the Holy Spirit. The Sonship refers to the body that was born; the life inside that body was God Himself.
4) Reinforcing statement
Jesus Christ is the one true God revealed in human flesh—fully God dwelling in a real, human life—our Redeemer, not a creature.

An Exposition Of The Seven Church Ages
CAB 9:E-43
"The Beginning Of The Creation Of God." That is Who the Lord Jesus says He is. But those words don't mean exactly as they sound to us. Just taking them the way they sound has made some people (in fact multitudes of people) get the idea that Jesus was the first creation of God, making Him lower than Godhead. Then this first creation created all the rest of the universe and whatsoever it contains. But that is not right. You know that doesn't line up with the rest of the Bible. The words are, "He is the BEGINNER or AU...

I want you to watch this carefully now and see something really sweet and beautiful. I said this is His end-time revelation of Himself. When the day of grace closes, then the millennium comes very shortly thereafter, doesn't it? Well, read with me Isaiah 65:16-19. "That he who blesseth himself in the earth shall bless himself in the God of truth; and he that sweareth in the earth shall swear by the God of truth; because the former troubles are forgotten, and because they are hid from Mine eyes. For behold, I create...

But now He is standing in the midst of the Church. As He stands there revealing Who He is in this last age, He calls Himself the "Author of the creation of God". This is ANOTHER CREATION. This has to do with the church. This is a special designation of Himself. He is the CREATOR of that church. The heavenly Bridegroom created his own bride. As the Spirit of God, He came down and created in the virgin Mary the cells from which His body was born. I want to repeat that. He created the very cells in the womb of Mary fo...

"These things saith the Faithful and True Witness." Now I want to show you what I find in the thought of "faithful". You know we often talk about a great unchanging God, Whose Word does not change. And when we speak of Him after that manner we often get a view of Him that makes Him seem very impersonal. It is as though God made the whole universe and all the laws that pertain to it and then stood back and became a great impersonal God. It is as though God made a way of salvation for lost mankind, that way being the...
God's gifts always find their places
63-1222 §32
Now, how fitting these gifts was to Christ's journey on earth, a baby born here on earth. And these gifts that the wise men brought Him, fitted just exactly His commission from God and His journey on earth. Now, the first thing: God. This was God, Jesus was God in the form of man. That's hard for people to swallow that, even today, that "He was God." That's what He was. He wasn't nothing less than God. He was God manifested in flesh. He was the creator in His own creation. Now that ... He was the creator in His cre...
