I'm just trying to come up with a way to express how Jesus is different than other men using the word manifestation. So I guess You don't understand the definition either which is cool
The established religious organizations that have, successfully, I might add, tried to separate the nature of the real JESUS, thusly making Him, 'just a man', and focusing only on the 'man aspect', these are texts, remember, do not have spiritual truth as a goal. They have their own agendas, and those don't involve religious or spiritual truth.
Opinions, what agenda?
Where did you hear about Jesus Christ, Desert Snake from Mel Gibson?
Or from the Book called the Bible?
I wonder if you really have seen the Bible and bothered to read it.
And what if the Bible is in conflict with what you believe - will you reject the Bible?
And follow what you like or what you think Jesus should be?
The Bible is screaming that Jesus Christ is a man
Accuse me of degrading Jesus if the Bible does not say Jesus is a man
But you cannot and could not because the very Scriptures records Jesus is a man
I could accuse you of being an antichrists, the enemy of Christ but you could not do the same to me
Isn't that a fact?
Jesus is the Christ of God
We should accept Jesus as the Christ of God:
“But what about you? he asked. ‘Who do you say I am?’ Peter answered, ‘The Christ of God.’” (Luke 9:20 NIV)
The Bible clearly stated that “Jesus is the Christ of God.” If Jesus is God, then God (Jesus) is the Christ of God. This is an absurdity. Thus, let us stick to what the Bible teaches about Jesus, that He is “the Christ of God.”
Jesus as the Son of God
We should accept Jesus Christ as the Son of God:
“Simon Peter answered, "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” (Matthew 16:16 NIV)
Although the apostles teach that Jesus is the Son of the living God, however, the Bible also tells us that Jesus, the Son of God, is a man:
“And when the centurion, who stood there in front of Jesus, heard his cry and saw how he died, he said, ‘Surely THIS MAN WAS THE SON OF GOD!’” (Mark 15:39, NIV,
emphasis mine).
Thus, the Bible clearly teaches that Jesus is the Son of the living God, and not the living God.
Jesus as Lord
We should accept Jesus Christ as our Lord:
“So, all the people of Israel should know this truly:
GOD HAS MADE JESUS — THE MAN YOU NAILED TO THE CROSS — BOTH LORD AND CHRIST.” (Acts 2:36, New Century Version,
emphasis mine)
Christ’s lordship does not prove that He is God, because if so: (1) God (Jesus) is only made “Lord” by another God for the Bible said, “God has made Jesus – the man you nailed to the cross-both Lord and Christ”; and (2) God (Jesus) is a “man nailed to the cross.”
When the Apostle Peter teaches that Jesus is Lord, he also mentioned that Jesus was made Lord by God and “a man nailed to the cross.”
Jesus as Savior
We should accept Jesus Christ as our Savior:
“The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom you had murdered by hanging Him on a tree.
GOD EXALTED THIS MAN TO HIS RIGHT HAND AS RULER AND SAVIOR, to grant repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins.” (Acts 5:30-31, Holman Christian Standard Bible,
emphasis mine)
Jesus is our Savior, but He became our Savior because “God exalted this man to His right hand as ruler and Savior.” Although, Jesus is our Savior, but the Bible also mentioned that He is a man exalted by God.
Jesus as the Mediator between God and Men
We should accept Jesus Christ as the Mediator between the one true God and men:
“For there is one God and
one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus” (I Timothy 2:5, NIV, emphasis mine)
Apostle Paul’s statement clearly said that “there is one God.” And we are certain that the “one God” referred to by Apostle Paul is not the Lord Jesus, because he also mentioned that “the man Christ Jesus” is the “one mediator between God and men.”
LET US UPHOLD WHAT THE BIBLE
TEACHES ABOUT JESUS CHRIST
Let us uphold what the Bible teaches about the Lord Jesus Christ – the man Jesus Christ is the one mediator between God and men, for those who do not acknowledge Jesus Christ as “coming in the flesh” such person is the deceiver and the antichrist:
“Many deceivers, who do not acknowledge Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh, have gone out into the world. Any such person is the deceiver and the antichrist.” (II John 1:7 NIV)
Those who do not acknowledge Jesus Christ as “coming in the flesh” as those “who don’t believe that Jesus Christ came to earth as a human being”:
“Watch out for the false leaders-and there are many of them around-
who don't believe that Jesus Christ came to earth as a human being with a body like ours.
Such people are against the truth and against Christ.” (II John 1:7 Living Bible)
If Jesus is not the one true God, who is? This is what the apostles teach us:
“Praise be to
THE GOD AND FATHER OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST, who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ.” (Ephesians 1:3 NIV,
Emphasis Mine)
