Does this mean Jesus was God in the flesh?

Yes. Wow, that was easy.

Because Jesus is God manifested in the flesh. Satan tempted knowing weakness of flesh. But Jesus overcame all sin

no, Jesus was always holy. Jesus was fully God and fully man. he always was and always will be holy.

When Jesus was on earth He came as a man as the Son of God.  He was flesh and therefore identified himself as a human in order to show the holiness of God His Father.

Jesus told us very clearly about God, and that he is REAL, many people question Jesus as the son of God, but all those miracles he performed were to prove it. so, as he is telling the truth, there is a God. You need faith.

There are several ways you can look at this He was born of the flesh on earth and therefore was not god in the sense you are asking he was the messiah the chosen one to be the saviour of all man kind as is said in the bible he was sinless and had to be baptised in water at which time the holy spirit fell upon him then he died and was arisen by god the father to be his only begotten son .So what does this mean it is explained by modern theorlogens that God is like water it comes in many forms like just water ,ice steam etc.so we have the birth of the trinity god the father ,god the son god the holy spirit which lives within us after we repent and accept jesus Christ as our lord and saviour .Just like water God comes in these various forms to the jews he is just God to us we must accept jesus as our lord here on earth as our lord who intercedes to the father on our behalve there fore we must be baptised or cleaned in water accept jesus and receive the holy spirit then try to follow jesus example and live by his one law "treat others as you would have them treat you" put simply this infact covers all the ten commandments with this just one rule where the jewish people must obey the ten commandments that is what they believe anyway but as I have shown with just one rule jesus gave us as gentiles covers the ten commandments .People argue that jesus was in the beginning just as god but I have studied this at great length in greek and hewbrew and it is not that clear if that is a fact but what is fact to christians that when he rose on the third day he was the real son of god our lord ..It is up to every individual to believe or not that is why god gave us free will to choose .To sum up jesus wasnt god on earth he acsended up into heaven and became the son of god the father and sits at his right hand so we must accept the trinity of god after jesus rose from the dead into heaven .A long speach but I wanted to clarify what i believe not what half trained pastors try to portray.

Nope what Jesus said was\n\n"Are you so dull?" he asked. "Don't you see that nothing that enters a man from the outside can make him 'unclean'? 19For it doesn't go into his heart but into his stomach, and then out of his body." (In saying this, Jesus declared all foods "clean.") \nHe went on: "What comes out of a man is what makes him 'unclean.' For from within, out of men's hearts, come evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery, greed, malice, deceit, lewdness, envy, slander, arrogance and folly. All these evils come from inside and make a man 'unclean.'\nMark 7:18-25\n\nNot seeing where he said 'there would be neighter in heaven.  Mav's not trying to argue with you, just pointing out the scripture you are using don't support your statement.

The fleshly body was created by God but Jesus Himself has always been.  \n\nJesus is more than just human, He is also God.\n\nPrayers to you and yours.  <><

By definition, not mystery, the everlasting, one God, in whole or in part, does not die, disintegrate, or decompose: "For I the Lord do not change" (Malachi 3:6). Did Jesus' flesh dwell in safety after his death? 1 Peter 3:18 states Jesus was "put to death in the flesh, but made alive in the spirit." 1 Corinthians 15:44-45 claims Jesus was "raised a spiritual body," that is, he "became a life-giving spirit." No mention of the survival of the flesh is alluded to. In Acts 2:31, it is claimed Peter stated that following the alleged resurrection Jesus' body did not see decay. Paul is alleged to have also made this claim (Acts 13:34-37). However, unless Jesus' body never underwent "decay" during his lifetime he could not be God, but if it did not undergo "decay" then he was not truly human.\n\n\nQuestion: If Jesus was God as well as man how could Satan expect to tempt him?\n  \nAnswer: Mark simply states that Jesus was tempted by Satan (1:13) but Matthew (4:1-11) and Luke (4:1-13) elaborate the story. It is claimed that during Jesus' alleged forty days' sojourn in the desert, following his baptism by John, Satan tempted him with promises of an earthly kingdom if Jesus would only worship him.\n\nIf Jesus is part of God, how could he possibly sin, and how could Satan possibly hope to tempt him? Satan's words would be absolutely meaningless. Surely, even the earthly Jesus was incapable of committing as sinful an act as the worshipping of Satan. Indeed, unlike a mere mortal, it was decreed that the Gospels' Jesus follow exactly the life outlined for his earthly existence by the very godhead of which he was an integral part.\n\nIn assuming a human body, the Jesus of Christian theology knew what God's purpose for the future of mankind was and what was expected of him in order to bring this about. Did Jesus, the perfect god-man, have free will to sin while on earth? Obviously not! Had he failed to carry out God's plan, the entire timetable would have been eternally disrupted. Lacking free will to do as he pleased, Jesus could not truly have been tempted.\n\nNeither could Satan, as one of God's creations, promise Jesus, who was already divine and in control of the universe, a mere kingdom as a reward for worshipping him. As puffed up with pride as one might envision Satan to be, he is certainly not stupid. In the Gospel narrative Satan knew Jesus was not a mere human, given to flattery and subject to the temptations of the flesh. Jesus was not one who would accept worthless promises.\n\nEven if we suppose that Satan did make Jesus the most extravagant of offers, as reported by the New Testament, it would not in the least have been a temptation to the divine Jesus of Christianity. In view of the claim by Christian theology that Jesus was offered an earthly kingdom by God: "Ask of Me, and I will give the nations for your inheritance, and the ends of the earth for your possession" (Psalms 2:8), can anyone believe that a member of the Trinity would have difficulty in choosing between the two opposing offers? Certainly Satan would not have wasted his time on such a futile endeavor. It is obvious that the account of Satan's attempt to tempt Jesus cannot be reconciled with the overall view of Jesus as held by Christians.\n\nOf Jesus it is said: "For because he himself has suffered and has been tempted, he is able to come to the aid of those who are tempted" (Hebrews 2:18). But if Jesus was God as well as man at the time of his temptation by Satan, how is this verse, and indeed the entire temptation episode, to be reconciled with the belief expressed by the author of James? He states: "Let no one say when he is tempted: 'I am being tempted by God'; for God cannot be tempted by evil, and He Himself does not tempt anyone" (James 1:13). If according to James "God cannot be tempted by evil," then the J

Jesus was a 100% God and a100% man. He is part of the Trinity. IT is not something that can easily be explained, even if God were to reveal this answer to us now and explain this, our human minds would not be able to comprehend what he said. God is much bigger and infinitely more intelligent than we are. We cannot confine him in just a book, a church, or even up in heaven somewhere, because God is everywhere, he knows everything, and is King of kings and Lord of lords. He gave us his word which is called The Holy Bible in order to show us what we must do on earth to be good servants and followers for him, and that is all we need for now. Instead of asking trivial questions, ask yourself what purpose God has for your life, and how he wants to work through you to spread his Gospel to others. I will pray for you. Have a nice day! =)

As I understand that question...you are making a big mistake with the Person of Jesus. Jesus was just a man. a very advanced man in Evolution but just a man. God is never taking flesh. but there is something else who can take flesh and that is Christ. But Christ has also been in Moses, Zarathustra, Elias, and many others before...jesus is no exeption. And in future there will be thousands probably millions of people who can live in the consciousness of Christ. That is the reason why Jesus was here...but the so called christians did'nt understand that...since more than 2000 years...

Jesus is not God. He never claimed to be God. At John 3:17, does it say that God came to earth? No. It says that God sent his Son, not himself.\n\nThe scripture you used at John 8:58 is another trinitarian "proof" that Jesus is God. But is it? The expression at John 8:58 is quite different from the one used at Exodus 3:14. Jesus did not use it as a name or a title but as a means of explaining his prehuman existence. Hence, note how some other Bible versions render John 8:58. \n\n1869: "From before Abraham was, I have been." The New Testament, by G. R. Noyes. \n \n1935: "I existed before Abraham was born!" The Bible—An American Translation, by J. M. P. Smith and E. J. Goodspeed. \n \n1965: "Before Abraham was born, I was already the one that I am." Das Neue Testament, by Jörg Zink. \n \n1981: "I was alive before Abraham was born!" The Simple English Bible. \n \n1984: "Before Abraham came into existence, I have been." New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures.  \n\nThus, the real thought of the Greek used here is that God's created "firstborn," Jesus, had existed long before Abraham was born. Colossians 1:15; Proverbs 8:22, 23, 30; Revelation 3:14. \n\nAgain, the context shows this to be the correct understanding. This time the Jews wanted to stone Jesus for claiming to "have seen Abraham" although, as they said, he was not yet 50 years old. (Verse 57) Jesus' natural response was to tell the truth about his age. So he naturally told them that he "was alive before Abraham was born!\n\nThere is no Bible verse that says Jesus is Almighty God.

After his resurrection, Jesus Christ gave flashes of light regarding an obligation resting on all his followers. Most likely it was to the 500 disciples assembled in Galilee that he said: “Go therefore and make disciples of people of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the holy spirit, teaching them to observe all the things I have commanded you. \n\nThereafter, all followers of Christ were to be preachers, and their preaching commission was not to be limited to “the lost sheep of the house of Israel.” (Matthew 10:6) Nor were they to perform John’s baptism in symbol of repentance for forgiveness of sins. Instead, they were to baptize people “in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the holy spirit.”\n\nJesus commanded his followers to baptize new disciples “in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the holy spirit.” (Matthew 28:19) What did Jesus mean? Baptism “in the name of the Father” indicates that the person being baptized wholeheartedly accepts Jehovah God as the Creator and the rightful Sovereign of the universe. (Psalm 36:9; 83:18) Being baptized ‘in the name of the Son’ means that the individual acknowledges Jesus Christ—and particularly His ransom sacrifice—as the only means of salvation provided by God. (Acts 4:12) Baptism ‘in the name of the holy spirit’ signifies that the baptismal candidate recognizes Jehovah’s holy spirit, or active force, as God’s instrument for carrying out His purposes.\n\nJesus commanded, it is to be carried out “in all the nations.”  To Jesus’ Jewish followers, that must have been a startling commission. He was telling his Jewish disciples that they would now have to go out to the “unclean” Gentiles of all the nations and teach them. It took some readjusting for them to absorb the impact of and act on that assignment. (Acts 10:9-35) But there was no getting around it; Jesus had told them in a parable that “the field is the world.” \n\nWhen we examine texts offered by Trinitarians as evidence that the Bible “implies” a Trinity, what do we find? An honest appraisal reveals that the scriptures offered do not speak of Christendom’s Trinity.   \nAn example of such texts is found at Matthew 28:19, 20. There the Father, the Son, and the holy spirit are mentioned together. Some claim that this implies a Trinity. But read the verses yourself. Is there anything in those texts that says that the three are one God equal in eternity, power, position, and wisdom? No, there is not. It is the same with other texts that mention the three together.

According to the Bible, Jesus is God, and has always been God.  But in order to accomplish the salvation of man, He laid aside that right, and took a position that was less then God - that of His Son - and humbled Himself to God as His Father being obedient even to the point of dying on the cross.  Because of that, He was raised from the dead and returned to the position of full Godship with His Father.  (Read Phillippians 2: 6-11).\n\nIn the Jewish culture that Jesus lived, to term translated "the son of..." was a legal term that referred to someone who had all the rights and power of their father.  To refer to Jesus as "the son of God" meant the He had all the rights and power of God.  It is differrent that what we think of when we hear the English term "the son of...".  This is why during Jesus' trial before the Jews, when He referred to Himself as "the son of God", the high priest torn his garment and called him a blasphemer, because He made Himself equal with God.\n\nYou may debate all day whether or not Jesus was divine, but there is no room for debate over whether the Bible SAYS Jesus was divine.  There are hundreds of refers to His divinity in it.\n\nSo the answer is: Jesus, by claiming to be the Son of God, was claiming to be God.  They are the same thing.

it's John 1:1-2 that states "In the Beginning was the Word(Jesus) and the Word(Jesus)was with God and the Word(Jesus) was God." verse 2 says " He was in the beginning with God." so you see He was. And also think on Adam and Eve, since no man can look upon God, how then did they walk with Him? Jesus is the visible form of God that humans CAN look upon! Also seek in the old testament when it speaks of "The Angel of the Lord" you will see when the A is capitalized that the people see Him as a Deity, I believe it's Jesus, given all the studying I've done on the subject. Sampson's parents even made a sacrifice to Him, and He left them as He went up in the smoke of the sacrifice(as Jesus is The Sacrifice)!!! I hoipe this confirms this to you and God bless you.

There was a group in Paul's day that said when Jesus resurrected, He was a spirit and not a body. Jesus proved this to be false because He ate with the disciples and said to Thomas, "See, a spirit does not have flesh and bone." (note: no blood, that was shed on the cross)\n\nAlso notice that Jesus was able to appear and disappear at will. Yes, Jesus has a body, but there was something about it that superceded the laws of physics. It was a resurrected body. But note also that He still bore the scars of His crucifiction. These will be a living witness of His love for us for the rest of eternity.\n\nThis new body is a slight glimpse of what is waiting for the believer. Jesus said, "I go to prepare a place for you, that where I am, there you may be also." Some think that this "place" is actually our new body.\n\nBlessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His abundant mercy has begotten us again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, to an inheritance incorruptible and undefiled and that does not fade away, reserved in heaven for you, who are kept by the power of God through faith for salvation ready to be revealed in the last time. - 1 Peter 1
