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.

Law
55-0115 §32
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
63-0320 §49
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...
Godhead explained

Now the next thing He did, then God the Father overshadowed a virgin called Mary. And the hemoglobin (you know this by being a nurse), the blood cell comes from the male. Then, somebody said, "We're saved by Jewish blood." There's not one speck of the mother's blood in the baby. The baby lays in the blood of the mother, but the blood cell comes from the male sex. So He wasn't neither Jew nor Gentile; He was God. A creative blood---not by sex desire, but a creative blood. See what I mean? And then God's blood saved...

Now, now there... Now you're going to ... be many disagree with this, but I want you to think real hard before you make your decision, see. I'm going to say something now. That's the reason I don't believe that there is an eternal hell. There cannot be an eternal hell, 'cause if there ever was an eternal hell, there always was an eternal hell, 'cause eternal... There's only one form of eternal life, and that's what we're all striving for. And if you're going to burn forever, and for eternity, then you'll have to ha...
