God in Christianity

Within the scope of Christianity and its denominations, there exists a mass confusion with regards to God's oneness and Jesus's divinity. Unitarians, Roman Catholics, Protestants, Oneness Pentecostals, and the Jehovah's Witness, each have given their exclusive views on the issue. This author, however, looks to bring a common understanding between the Churches, an understanding agreed upon universally by all Biblical scholars.

The Bible, along with its Christian scholars, teach of a significant difference between the “flesh” and the “spirit” (see John 4:24 and John 3:5). God, according to Biblical script is “spirit” and should be worshiped as such (John 4:24). It is further taught that the believers, or people who are “born again” receive the spirit of God and the spirit of God dwells within their very being.

Now the question for Christians is - do they, the Christians, worship the flesh of Jesus Christ or the spirit of God that dwelled with Jesus? The Christians will always talk about their concept known as “Jesus was God in the flesh”. Does this mean that the flesh itself is divine (God), or does it mean that God dwells with the flesh spiritually? Obviously the statement says God IN (within) the flesh, not God IS the flesh. Coming back to the clear distinction between the flesh and the spirit which the Bible makes while simultaneously noting the fact that the Bible is VERY clear that God is spirit. At this point, the evangelical Christians will agree, because this fundamental doctrine has always been a strict teaching of Christianity - the difference between the flesh and the spirit and how God is spirit. ALL Christians believe this.

So, if you are not worshiping the flesh of Jesus, and admit that the flesh of Jesus is a creation of God, while the spirit of God is eternal and uncreated, then you admit, that the physical and finite individual known as Jesus, who walked the earth 2000 years ago, ate, slept , drank, and spent 9 months in Mary's womb is not what you worship, and was not literally and physically God, but it was the spirit of God that dwelled with that flesh - man - created material, and its that spirit which you worship as your God. Correct? Obviously!

So now we have taken an important step. You now know that the Bible teaches you not to worship the physical man - or the graven image, known as Jesus, rather you are worshiping God, who is a spirit, that same spirit of God that dwells within you, and within ALL:

One God is Father of ALL, who is above ALL, and through ALL, and in ALL. (Ephesians 4:6; also see many more verses which say the same thing: John 17:20; John 14:20; Psalms 82:6)

The name Jesus was given to the son of Mary, who was a physical-created material-man that, slept, ate, drank, and like any other man fell prostrate to the laws of nature. Jesus was flesh, who according to you DIED. But God, the spirit, is eternal, and never dies. IE. Jesus, the man, was not God. The Spirit that dwelled “in” Jesus, and dwells IN ALL, is what you are supposed to revere and worship. You fail to make the distinction between Jesus the flesh and God the Spirit. When you say 100% God 100% Man; what do you mean? That God, who is spirit, and Jesus who is flesh, are one "spiritually", but yet not physically because God is beyond finite physics, is that not correct? God is not physical-finite-flesh-created. Man is physical-finite-flesh-created. God is metaphysical-infinite-spirit-uncreated. Right? Make the distinction between who Jesus is (the 100% man) and who God is (100% spirit). I sincerely believe that Christians unintentionally worship the created man - Jesus, and not the uncreated spirit - God.

With all of this said, there are a bunch sparks that fly, and rightfully so, they should. Therefore, consider this: Was Jesus divine at the state of being an unfertilized egg? Was he divine while in the womb? As an infant? As a toddler? A child? An adolescent? Or did Jesus become God in his state of adulthood?

Furthermore, according to Christianity, when God's spirit dwelled within Jesus, and Jesus was "God in the flesh", as they say, did God become limited to the flesh of Jesus Christ, or was God still omnipresent? If He, God, was still omnipresent, as Christianity teaches, than God was not limited to the finite-flesh of Jesus, thus, Jesus was not the all-knowing, omnipresent, infinite God, but was simply a particle within God's creation.

And finally it is absolutely important to note that it is biologically illogical for God to have a son. If you are to believe that God had offspring in the literal and biological sense, then you fall into a dilemma. In order for God to be the biological father of Jesus, if that makes any sense at all, God had to supplement several components into this child such as a set chromosomes, DNA, a genetic sequence etc. In order for one to be called a biological father, these components have to exist, there is no other way around it. To assume that God personally has a genetic makeup that ensures the possibility of biological offspring is absurd. Rather God can simply CREATE something out of nothing, as was the case with both Adam, and also the Messiah. This creating out of nothing does not make God a biological father because it simply goes beyond the surface of biology. Therefore, Christians have to come to the conclusion that Jesus was not the literal and biological son of God, but metaphorically and spiritually Jesus was a “child” of many spiritual “children” of God.
