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.

A Super Sign
59-1227M §49
Someone, as I have said before, wants to make Him a little short God. He was man; God was using a man. God was using a flesh that He created Himself, in order to create through Him, and to bring through Him many sons, says the Scripture, through that obedient Son. Through one son, all fell; through an obedient Son, all shall live that believe. God with us, a sign, said that would be a sign. Jesus so loved to refer to Himself as "Son of man," man Himself, just a man, "I am nothing; the Son can do nothing in Himself....
The uncertain sound
62-0714 §84
Jesus was positive of what He done. In St. John, the 5th chapter, the 19th verse, Jesus said, "Verily, verily, I say unto you, the Son can do nothing in himself." That's the flesh that God created, his own Son. You believe He was the Son of God, created? Sure. God created Himself a body, a tabernacle, to live in. He was the Son of God. And He said, "The Son can do nothing in himself. But what He sees the Father do, that doeth the Son likewise." Then He was positive, because God was showing Him what to do. He was ce...
