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...
Calling Jesus on the scene

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...

Now there is a very favorite portion of Scripture that the trinitarians think prove their point of more than one actual Person in the Godhead. It is Revelation 5:6-8, "And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as It had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth. And He came and took the book out of the right hand of Him That sat upon the throne. And when He had taken the...

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... Satan cannot create, but he can pervert what God has created," see. He's not a creator. God is a Creator, but Satan perverts what God has crea...

Since this portion of the Word is hard for the human mind to grasp, it must be accepted and believed by faith. Some will be offended by what I have set forth because they fail to understand the sovereignty of God which sets forth that GOD IS GOD, and because He is God one cannot defeat His counsels or thwart His will and purpose; but He, being omnipotent, is ruling in ALL affairs and is doing whatever He will with all His creation because all were created for His good pleasure. Therefore, as Paul says, "If God shou...
