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.

[Pastor introduces Brother Lamsa.] ... he speaks the language and can read the language and read the original documents in which the New Testament was written. So with him, it is so wonderful that he can read directly from the original script the very words that Jesus and the disciples spoke and wrote. He felt that these translations that we have are not always correct and true. And that's where the criticism comes in, because he criticizes the King James version, and some people think that St. Paul preached from t...

And I just love to talk of Him and I believe Him. And in this day when He's thought of among so many people as just a good man... Some of them said, "Well, now, He's just a man." Well, I admit He was a Man. But He was more than a man. And some of them said, "Well, He was a ... He was a prophet." Yeah, that's right, but He was more than a prophet. And He was God. Jesus Christ was God manifested in flesh. Jehovah God, His Father, overshadowed the virgin Mary, and formed in her a blood cell which made the Son, Christ...

God in his universe. You believe it? God is in his Word. Do you believe it? Watch how He keeps his Word, confirms it. Look how He told Abraham, look what He told the apostles, look what he told the prophets. Look how He promised in this day. God's in his universe. God is in his Word. Now, God in his Son. Do you believe God was in his Son? (Now we have to hurry.) God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself. Do you believe that? One comment on God in his Son (so we can hurry). I was talking to a woman not long...

Now, that's what it means, friends. That's what that vision (or translation, whatever, a vision---I'll say vision, because I'm afraid that would hurt somebody to say translation), that's what that was. Now, there's when God ... what God did to bring sons and daughters to Him. Now, who are these people? How did they ever... What did these people do to merit this? How did they ever do it? God, at the beginning, before an angel was ever made... How many knows He's infinite? Now, you trinitarian brethren, I'm not wanti...

Notice what happened. He'd been clearly identified, and fulfilled the office that God said He would fulfill as Messiah. There was no question about it---for He was born the way God said He'd be born, He was rejected the way God said He'd be rejected, He had proven Himself to be the Messiah, because the Messiah was God. Messiah means "anointed One." And He was anointed with the fullness of the Godhead bodily, dwelt in Him. He wasn't just a prophet, yet He was a prophet. But He was more than a prophet. He was the God...
