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.

Now remember, we are not the Word, but we are the Word. Now you got it? Jesus was not God, but He was God. He was a man, yet He was God. He could cry, and yet He could raise the dead. He could cry for a man being dead and raise him back up again. He was Jehovah-jireh, Jehovah-rapha, Jehovah-manasseh; He was Jehovah, all completely. He was Jehovah, and yet He was a Man. He owned the earth, and made the earth, and had not a place to lay his head. He said, "The birds that I made has got nests, and I haven't got a plac...

There's God. See, not three Gods. Oh, how many of you Trinitarian people got that mixed up; and how you Oneness people got it mixed up, too---Him being one like your finger. Both of them got it mixed up, see. That's right. If He's one God like your finger's one, how could He be His own father, see? See, He can't be His own father. And if He had another father outside of the Holy Spirit, and if God is a man, a person, then He is a... The Holy Spirit was His father, and God's His father (Matthew 1), so then He was an...

So, therefore, knowing ... someone... Now, that might bring up the question in your mind about Satan, in the beginning. For someone asked me not long ago, said, "Isn't Satan a creator?" I said, "No, sir. God is the only Creator there is. One Creator, is God." He said, "Well, how did evil ever get here then, if Satan didn't create it?" I said, "Evil is not a creation. Evil...

And a man is just a man until he's fully submitted to God, and then Deity dwells in that man, the Holy Spirit. Not the man, but God in the man does the work. So Jesus then, when He came, He was a Man born of a virgin birth. His mother was Mary; His Father was Jehovah God. You believe that? And then in that body God dwelled. God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself. Jesus said, "It's not Me that doeth the works; It's My Father that dwelleth in Me; He doeth the work." And that was God speaking through morta...

...utes ago. Listen to this: "...unto the angel of the church of Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God;". God is the Creator and how was He ever created? But this is the beginning of the creation of God. When God, the Spirit, was created in the form of a man; that was God being created: God, the Creator Himself, becoming a creation. God, Who made the dirt; made the calcium; made the potash, cosmic light, and petroleum; took the thing together...
