And look when he was born
He was a hundred percent man and a hundred percent God
Now it's almost ridiculous that I have to say something like that as though there's people out there that don't believe that
You know, they don't believe that but it's true people out there want to attack the deity of Jesus Christ
They want to make this thing a controversial subject and stay well
Jesus Christ is human part or his physical part was the human part and then his spirit is the is the God part
You know, he's just 50 50. He's 50% God 50% man folks. That's blasphemy
It's a blasphemous teaching to say. Oh, well his flesh was not
Divine his flesh was not godly
It was his spirit then really explained to me why the Bible says that God was made manifest in the flesh
Only says that God was manifest in the spirit. He was manifest in the flesh
And
This is without controversy with us
You see when we got saved someone talked to taught this doctrine to us. We received it readily
Not controversial to us. I was like, yeah that makes sense
The word was made flesh and dwelt among us. It wasn't sinful
He was a human being but he was a perfect human being
Because he was 100% God 100% man
1st Timothy 3 16, let's read it again without controversy great is the mystery of godliness
God was manifest in the flesh justified in the spirit scene of angels preached unto the Gentiles
believed on in the world received up into glory now
We think to ourselves. Well, you know in those days they should have known that also
Was this controversial back then? Well, let's look at chapter 4 verse number 1 because the thought continues
Now the Spirit speaketh expressly
That in the latter times some shall depart from the faith giving heed to seducing spirits and doctrines of devils
So what is God considered to be a seducing spirit or departing from the faith when you depart from the fact that?
God was made manifest in the flesh
So when you start teaching things that are opposite to that and say God was 50 50
When you start teaching things that are opposite to that and say well God did not die
At that point you're giving heat to seducing spirits and doctrines of devils you've departed from the faith
Okay, where these pastors want to come up with these hypothetical scenarios?
Well, you know if God is eternal and God, you know, if God the Father is eternal we understand that
You know, he's he's the beginning in the end. How is it that Jesus Christ died if he's God?
So obviously the answer is he didn't die. That's nonsense folks
Jesus said I am he that liveth and was dead
He was dead. He said well, I thought hell though is like eternal death
Yeah, except for Jesus
He's the only exception to that rule I
Don't know about that. How can that be exception to the rule? Well, you tell me who else has the keys of hell and of death
Except for Jesus, he's the exception to that rule. Why because he's God
A hundred percent man
100% God this should be something that is not controversial to us
It wasn't controversial to the Apostle Paul to the churches at the church at Ephesus to the churches that are found in the region of Galatia
He says without controversy
Great is the mystery of godliness
