1ti 3:16 And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.
God was manifest in the flesh.....so where does it say this means that Jesus was God in flesh...his flesh was human and his inner person or his own spirit is this God? What Scripture says this? I know of NONE. Not one single Scripture ever, at any time, said that God got into Mary and mixed with her egg, and became part of a person who was part man and part God. His flesh, or human body, was just a lifeless, frame of dust, for the eternal God to get into and walk this earth as a man. (that is what they teach)
Where did this evil doctrine come from?
No Scripture says any of that stuff. No Scripture says the body of Jesus was man, and his spirit was God, thus, making Jesus not really a man, but a dead, lifeless corpse, for God to dwell in! What verse interprets 1Tim 3:16 that way?
Below is the true interpretation. And I am glad you came back to this. I hope you stay and study this until you see the real truth. don't just quote a verse and try to interpret it with man's doctrine. Give me a verse, from some other Scripture, which truly interprets it.
Put that 'flesh' with this:
John 6:50 This is the bread which cometh down from heaven, that a man may eat thereof, and not die.
John 6:51 I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world. (Jesus ate this same flesh that we must eat. Did he eat himself? think on this.)
Joh 6:52 The Jews therefore strove among themselves, saying, How can this man give us his flesh to eat?
Joh 6:53 Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you.
Joh 6:54 Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day.
Joh 6:55 For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed. (so how are you going to eat the FLESH which God was manifest in? How are you going to drink of that blood? If it means his human body, then you must take a bite of that human body, the actual body which grew in Mary, and eat some of it and drink some of that very blood which flowed through that man's veins. Can you do it? have you done it? if so, how? that is what the Jews wanted to know...how can you do that? Is that human body, actually the flesh which the Word was made into? which God was manifest in? 'his flesh' is the bread which he himself ate to have eternal life. that is how it is 'his flesh'...does not mean his human body.....that same flesh is my flesh...that I eat to have eternal life.....I have never yet taken a bite of Jesus' human body.)
Joh 6:56 He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him. (are you IN him? actually inside his human body,...since you say this FLESH is his human body?)
Joh 6:57 As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father: so he that eateth me, even he shall live by me.
Joh 6:58 This is that bread which came down from heaven: not as your fathers did eat manna, and are dead: he that eateth of this bread shall live for ever.
(what was he speaking of when he said, This is the bread which came down from heaven? His human body? then how are you going to EAT IT?)
