My view on John 1:14 is that the totality of the Word indeed, as the verse itself clearly states, \u201cbecame flesh\u201d. In like manner, when Jesus was raised from the dead, he \u201cbecame a life giving spirit\u201d (1 Corinthians 15:45).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
===============<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Q<\/strong> \u2013 When the Word became flesh, did the Spirit Word remain as such? A spirit?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n A<\/strong> \u2013 John 1:14 is very clear. The Spirit became flesh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Q<\/strong> – Who or what was the spirit in the human Jesus?<\/p>\n\n\n\n A<\/strong> \u2013 The Holy Spirit. Having been changed from spirit to flesh, the Word, of himself, could do nothing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n John 5:30 I can of Myself do nothing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Being no longer a spirit, Jesus was filled with the Holy Spirit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Luke 4:1 Then Jesus, being filled with the Holy Spirit\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n If the Word remained a spirit and simply put on a human body, then Jesus would have had 2 spirits, the Word and the Holy Spirit. Which is not so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Q <\/strong>– Is Jesus a different being and not the Word? Is Jesus a different being and not the \u201cI AM\u201d?<\/p>\n\n\n\n A<\/strong> \u2013 No, to both questions. The life of the Word, I AM, YHWH, the Rock was not altered or \u201cadulterated\u201d when the Word became flesh. There was no egg from Mary which was required to form a life in Jesus who was pre-existent. \u201cJesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Hebrews 13:8 Jesus Christ is<\/em> the same yesterday, today, and forever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n ===============<\/p>\n\n\n\n Biblical bases in the change of Jesus\u2019 life being \u201cunadulterated\u201d by a human female egg are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n 1 Corinthians 15:47<\/sup> <\/sup><\/strong>The first man was<\/em> of the earth, made<\/em> of dust; the second Man is<\/em> the Lord from heaven.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If Mary\u2019s egg contributed to the formation of Jesus\u2019 life, Jesus would be only partly from heaven.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n John 8:23 And He said to them, \u201cYou are from beneath; I am from above. You are of this world; I am not of this world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If Mary\u2019s egg formed Jesus\u2019 life, Jesus could have been mistaken in saying that he was \u201cnot of this world\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When the Word became flesh, \u201cMary\u2019s body (flesh & blood)\u201d contributed to the development of Jesus\u2019 flesh, organs, blood, everything but her egg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A gestational surrogate mother conceives the fertilized egg of another woman and it is her system which enables the zygote to develop the body parts of the baby.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Word\u2019s manifestation as Jesus is different from the manifestations of YHWH in the OT times where no human flesh and blood were involved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Hebrews 13:8 Jesus Christ is<\/em> the same yesterday, today, and forever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n ===============<\/p>\n\n\n\n Is Jesus the \u201cson\u201d of David? No.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Jesus, having been gestated in Mary’s womb and born as her son, naturally will have his legal genealogy in David’s line. But is David really Jesus’ ascendant? No! The creation could not be the real father of his creator. Even David called the being who became Jesus \u201cmy Lord\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Psalm 110:1 The Lord said to my Lord\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n ===============<\/p>\n\n\n\n A surrogate mother is still called a mother. Jesus is called the Son of Man because he was gestated and delivered by a human. To be called a SEED of another does not necessarily mean the SEED and the accepted ascendant are blood related. Gentile Christians, like us I suppose, are Abraham\u2019s seed by adoption.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Galatians 3:29 And if you\u00a0are<\/em>\u00a0Christ\u2019s, then you are Abraham\u2019s\u00a0seed, and heirs according to the promise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n My use of the word surrogate is not \u201cthe same as \u2018IN-VITRO\u2019” in the case of Jesus. The difference lies in the already existing life of Jesus as the Word. In the ordinary human surrogacy, the egg of the woman is fertilized by the sperm of the male outside of the woman\u2019s reproductive system. There is a fertilization process in order to form life. In the case of Jesus, there was no fertilization to form a life since life was there already. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n ===============<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cthe word BEGOTTEN in: John 1:14\u201d doesn\u2019t prove there was a fertilization of Mary\u2019s egg to make Jesus the Father\u2019s begotten. Aren\u2019t Christians also the begotten from above?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" My view on John 1:14 is that the totality of the Word indeed, as the verse itself clearly states, \u201cbecame flesh\u201d.
