Who is Jesus?
Jesus is the Christ/Messiah, which means he is the anointed and chosen one of God (John 20:31; Acts 10:38-42). He is the prophet that God told Moses he would raise up (Deuteronomy 18:18-19; Acts 3; John 7:15-17).
John 4 (Luke 23:35; 1 Peter 2:4-6)
25 The woman saith unto him, I know that Messias cometh, which is called Christ: when he is come, he will tell us all things.
26 Jesus saith unto her, I that speak unto thee am he.
Jesus was "made" (genomenon- to come into existence, begin to be, receive being) of a woman (Galatians 4:4). He is the firstborn from the dead, and is alive forever more (Revelation 1:4-6,18; Colossians 1:17-20; 1 Corinthians 15:21-28).

Adam, a man, who was the son of God, was made of the dust of the earth, and was disobedient to God (Genesis 2:7; Luke 3:38; Romans 5:19). Jesus, a man, who is the son of God (John 20:31), was made of a woman (Galatians 4:4) by the power and spirit of our God, and he was and is obedient to God (Luke 1:30-35; Matthew 1:20; John 8:28-29;
John 15:10; Romans 5). The first man is earthly, the second man is our Lord Jesus from heaven (James 1:17; John 6:32,51; 1 Corinthians 15:45,47). By man came death and by man came the resurrection from the dead (1 Corinthians 15:21-23). Jesus redeemed us to God (Revelation 5:9; 1 Corinthians 15:21,23; Romans chapter 5).
He is alive (Luke 24:39; Ephesians 1).
John 15:10; Romans 5). The first man is earthly, the second man is our Lord Jesus from heaven (James 1:17; John 6:32,51; 1 Corinthians 15:45,47). By man came death and by man came the resurrection from the dead (1 Corinthians 15:21-23). Jesus redeemed us to God (Revelation 5:9; 1 Corinthians 15:21,23; Romans chapter 5).
He is alive (Luke 24:39; Ephesians 1).
The man Jesus is our High Priest, and is the mediator between the one God and men (Romans 5:14; 1 Timothy 2:5). God made Jesus to be sin for us, who knew no sin
(Isaiah 53; 1 Peter 2:19-25; 2 Corinthians 5:19-21; Hebrews 7:24-28; Hebrews 9). Jesus was tempted on all points just like we are yet without sin (Hebrews 4:14-15; James 1:14). Jesus willingly gave himself as an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet smelling savor (Ephesians 5:2,25; Luke 24:44-48; Acts 5:30-32; Acts 4:10-12; Acts 2:22-39).
The true and living God, who is the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, raised him from the dead (Ephesians 1; Romans 10:9; 1 Thessalonians 1:9-10).
(Isaiah 53; 1 Peter 2:19-25; 2 Corinthians 5:19-21; Hebrews 7:24-28; Hebrews 9). Jesus was tempted on all points just like we are yet without sin (Hebrews 4:14-15; James 1:14). Jesus willingly gave himself as an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet smelling savor (Ephesians 5:2,25; Luke 24:44-48; Acts 5:30-32; Acts 4:10-12; Acts 2:22-39).
The true and living God, who is the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, raised him from the dead (Ephesians 1; Romans 10:9; 1 Thessalonians 1:9-10).
God cannot be tempted of evil like we are tempted, neither does God tempt anyone to do evil (James 1:13-14). God is not a man, and God doesn't change (Hosea 11:9). The scriptures do not tell us that God "cannot" become a man, but the scriptures tell us what he "won't do". God said, "I change not..." (Malachi 3:6). God is not a man, nor is he the son of man, and he "never" changed. God "cannot" lie (Numbers 23:19; Titus 1:2).
The God of our Lord Jesus is our God and Father
(John 20:17; John 14:28; 1 Corinthians 11:3; 1 Peter 1:3; 2 John 1:3; Malachi 2:10).
(John 20:17; John 14:28; 1 Corinthians 11:3; 1 Peter 1:3; 2 John 1:3; Malachi 2:10).

Jesus Was and Is a Man
Jesus is a man (1 Timothy 2:5; Galatians 3:20). When Jesus died he was a man
(Mark 15:39). When God resurrected Jesus and showed him openly, Jesus was a man (Luke 24:39; Acts 10:38-42). Jesus is a man that continues always making intercession for us, and he is able to save all those fully that come to God by him (Hebrews 7:24-28).
Jesus is the only way to the Father, who is God (John 14:6; Ephesians 2:18).
God made Jesus to be sin for us, who knew no sin, so that we may be made the righteousness of God in him (2 Corinthians 5:20-21). By his stripes we are healed
(Isaiah 53; 1 Peter 2:21-25). In Romans 5 it is explained that by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, and by the obedience of one man, many were made righteous. By man came death, and by man came the resurrection from the dead (1 Corinthians 15:21). Jesus is the first man to be raised to eternal life, he is the
first begotten/firstborn from the dead (1 Corinthians 15:23; Revelation 1:4-6,18). Jesus gave himself as an offering and a sacrifice to God (Ephesians 5:2). Jesus redeemed us to God (Revelations 5:9).
God is not a man, for God said, "I am God and not man", in Hosea 11:9. God does not change, for God said, "I change not..." in Malachi 3:6. Numbers 23:19 confirms that God is not a man, nor is he the son of man. It should be easy to believe God rather than a lie.
According to Jesus, God is the one who sent him, and he came from God. Jesus did not come from himself, nor did he send himself (John 8:42).
Jesus referred to himself as a man who told them the truth which he heard from God (John 8:40). Jesus can do nothing of himself (John 5:30,43; John 8:24,26,28). Jesus spoke only what his Father taught him and commanded him, and he kept his Father's commandments (John 12:49-50; John 15:10; John 7:15-17).

God Did Not Become a Man
God is not a man, nor is he the son of man (Numbers 23:19).
God said, "I am God and not man" in Hosea 11:9. God said, "I change not" in Malachi 3:6. It is our choice to believe God, who cannot lie or be tempted of evil like we can be tempted (Titus 1:2; James 1:13-14).
Jesus is a man conceived (made of a woman) by the power of God. The angel told Mary why Jesus would be called the son of God in Luke 1:30-35 (Galatians 4:4).
Jesus is not a demigod or a godman. Jesus the man is the mediator between the one God and men (1 Timothy 2:5). God is not the mediator. God is one (Galatians 3:20). Jesus referred to himself as a man who told them the truth, which he heard from God (John 8:24,26,28,40).
Jesus referred to his Father as his God and our God (John 20:17). Jesus referred to his Father as the only true God, and referred to himself as the one that the only true God sent (John 17:1,3). If anyone is a follower of Jesus, they should believe his words which are true. For Jesus is without sin, undefiled, and separate from sinners
(Hebrews 7:24-28). Jesus gave us understanding that his Father is greater than him and is his God. Indeed, Jesus is the son of the Highest. Jesus' Father is greater than all, and no one is greater than the Highest.
The word "became" flesh. God created with his word, the breath of his mouth
(Psalms 33:6). Whatever God says or said always comes to pass no matter what. This is apparent starting in Genesis chapter one, God said, "Let there be light" and there was light. God's word will not return to him void (Isaiah 55:11). God did speak by many prophets concerning Jesus our Lord, and God did tell Moses that he would raise up a prophet like Moses and the prophet would speak all that was commanded of him by God in God's name (Deuteronomy 18:18-19; John 5:43; John 7:15-17; Luke 1:69-70; Acts 3:20-23; Isaiah 53). Indeed, the word "became" flesh. John 1:14 does not tell us that God became flesh, to conclude such would be adding to the text something that is not there, and would contradict the very claim of God. God's word is true (2 Samuel 7:28).
God is the one who anointed our Lord Jesus with holy spirit and power, and God was with Jesus (Acts 10:38-42; Acts 2:22; John 3).
The apostles recognized the Father of our Lord Jesus, as our Lord Jesus' God (Ephesians 1:3,17; 2 Corinthians 11:31; 1 Corinthians 11:3; 2 John 1:3; 1 Peter 1:3; Romans 15:6).
