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.

God's power to transform
65-0911 §21
Now, we find out that, many times it looked like the Bible repeating, or saying something to what it doesn't say. For instance, in Genesis 1, we find that God created man in his own image, in the image of God created He him; male and female created He them. And then He goes on, and many things happened upon the earth. Then we come to find out there was no man to till the soil. Then God created man out of the dust of the earth. That was a different man. And He breathed the spirit of life into him, and he became a li...
Sirs, we would see Jesus
64-0318 §31
It was in Him to be man. That's the reason that Christ was the expressed image, see. Now, He was to be Father, He was to be Son, He was to be Saviour, He was to be healer. There was nothing. There wasn't even an angel, or nothing. Then He created angels. Then He become God---He was worshipped. Then these are the manifestations of his thinking. There is nothing wrong. Everything's going to turn out all right; don't be scared. God's big timepiece is ticking right along. It'll be there. He'll have a church without spo...

Then when man fell in flesh... And if God sent another individual besides Himself down, He was unjust. The only way God could justly do it was take the man's place Himself. What if I made Brother Neville die for this woman here? What if I made this woman die for this woman here, if it had been that I had the rule over you? I could not be just and do that. If I pronounced death, and want you to live, I've got to take your place to justify you. And then God who was in the image of Spirit ... without image, rather; th...

Now, I said, "Just to straighten you up, brother," I said, "I'd just like to ask you something: I'm surprised that a Lutheran dean would base his theology upon some sort of an experience." Why, I said, "In the Baptist church in the first year of school we learned to base everything upon the Bible." I said, "All our theology must come off the Bible, and here you're trying to base your theology on an experience." Well now, I said, "To settle it, Jesus said, that Satan cannot cast out Satan. That settles it then. If J...

It's true, as I said the other night, on that little boat He was a man laying there asleep, tired from preaching and healing the sick. He was a man when He was tired and weary and sleepy, till the storm didn't wake Him up. But when He put His foot on the brail of the boat and looked up and said, "Peace, be still," and the winds and the waves hushed, what could speak to nature but God? He was God when He spoke to the winds and waves. He was a man when the pains and agony of the nails in His hand and the crown on His...
