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 was speaking recently at a meeting, and a fellow said, met me on the outside, he said, "You're barking up the wrong tree, fellow." Said, "You said that 'The world here, is six thousand years old.' " I said, "The order of the world is right, six thousand years." He said, "Look," he said, "the Bible said that 'God created the heavens and earth, in six days.' " I said, "He did not do that." Genesis 1, He said, "In the beginning God created the heavens and earth." Period! How long He done it, I don't know, nobody els...
Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and today, and forever
52-0810E §16
I believe that that is the truth, that at the judgment day, that God will see that that is the truth. God will stand behind what He says to be truth. Don't you believe it? All right. And now, let's just wonder what type of a Person Jesus was. Now, I know we have some theological ideas, and some painters that's painted pictures. But let's not look at Him in the picture form tonight, because we might not know. But let's look at Him in His life, His Spirit. So Jesus, when He comes back to earth again in His body form,...

Now, therefore, God created Himself a body. He was the creator, and created His own creation, that by this creation He might save them that were lost in His creation (that's you and I, creatures of time.) His Word exactly showed that... He and His works proved that He was nothing less than the creator. He took a piece of bread and broke it, and kept breaking that one piece of bread, and fed five thousand people out of it; and took up seven basketfuls of pieces left over, and everybody there had a complete filling o...

God created man, male and female; you see what He done? He made the man. Now, that's the first question, see: "Created He them," and so forth: Genesis 1:26. Genesis 2:7: "He formed man out of the dust of the earth and breathed into his nostrils." QUESTION: What is the difference, or where is this connection in the above Scripture? What connection does the first man have with the second man? The first man is the second man made manifest in five senses, see. Now you can't touch God with your hands like that; you can'...
The Token
64-0208 §13
We find out today that we men, although fallen---this fallen state---we build our houses better, we build a better car. We take what God has created, pervert it, and turn it into something to help ourself. It goes to show that we are sons of God. In our fallen estate, yet we have a soul. We cannot create like God did; but we can take what He created and make a similar creation out of what He's already created. An animal doesn't do that. The dog still lives in the same way he lived. The bird still builds a nest. And...
