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.

I had another question today, they say, "Why, Brother Bill, the Bible said Eve said, 'I have got a son from the Lord.'" Exactly right. It had to come from the Lord. The Lord's only Creator there is. God created the devil. How's that? God created the devil. God created every fallen angel there is. Is that right? Certainly. That was their choice, not His. He created you. What are you doing about it? You'll be judged the same as they are. There you are. Certainly!
Calling Jesus on the scene
63-0804E §18
Now that same pillar of fire, the Fatherhood, came down and was made God in Sonship. He dwelt in a pillar of fire. Here He ... in the Shekinah glory. Here He dwelt in a body, which was His Son that He created and made in the form of a man. So that made Him the Son of God, second Adam. Now. He had to come through the womb of a woman, not like Adam, because that's what He had to condemn---the birth of a human being by a woman, see. So He had to come that way. Now that's God, the Son---the same God. And now, He, throu...

But in this case... Here it is. In this case, it was not only the life of human, but it was the life of God. God the perfect One who came into the womb of the virgin in the form of the Holy Spirit. The Creator Himself bottling Himself up in a blood cell. He had no earthly father. Mary was not touched by man. She was a virgin. And God Himself overshadowed her, or, other words, the immaculate conception that God Himself created a blood cell. And life comes from the male, not from the female. The female is the incubat...
A Paradox
63-0801 §57
God ... it was a paradox how God could become man to die. God, life, eternal life, could become God, natural life, to die to save man to bring him back to eternal life. That was a paradox how that the great God that filled all space and all eternity, could come down and be a man in order to die to save his own creation; how God became one of his own creations to save (because He created his own body). Jehovah, the Father, dwelt in fullness in Jesus Christ, his Son. Jesus was the body of God. God was represented in...
Seals 5: The Third Seal

Now, the blood of sheep and goats covered sin but didn't get rid of it, for it was an animal's blood. But it was to be all right, was to be a substitute. And they sure got used to that substitute. And so they just kept on. And when the real promised Word was made manifest in Jesus Christ, who proved to be the Son of the great Creator, God, and was vindicated Himself by being the living Word of God... He proved He was. He could speak things into existence. There ain't a human being or nothing in the world could do t...
