John 1:1
In the beginning was the Word,
and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

John 1:14
And the Word was made flesh,
and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory,
the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,)
full of grace and truth.


How was the Word made flesh?

Read the Written Word:

OT, or NT or Quran,
these three seperate personages of God, but are one in nature.​

So you do not know how the Word was made flesh?

I am sure you cannot explain anything to me that you believe,
without contradicting yourself.

But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.
John 14:26

But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.
1 John 2:27


He said unto them, Have ye received the Holy Ghost since ye believed? And they said unto him, We have not so much as heard whether there be any Holy Ghost.
Acts 19:2



Apparently not.

It is figurative language just like when Christ is described as the Lamb of God, the Son of man, the Son of David, or the Son of God.

Jesus was a personification of all that was written of His coming and a fulfillment of all God had promised as a Redeemer of sinful man.

Hebrews 1 God hath spoken to us in His Son.

For the cause of Christ

1 John 5:6[SUP]6 [/SUP]This is he that came by water and blood, even Jesus Christ; not by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit that beareth witness, because the Spirit is truth.

God's Word is Truth.

The word (made) means came to be.....The word came to be flesh.....Jesus is the primo example of what man can be when 100% led by the Spirit of God while walking according to the Word of God......To a finite mind it is difficult to comprehend how the Word of God can come to be flesh, yet like many other aspects of creation God can speak anything into existence.....Jesus is the ICON of the invisible Father and the Medium by which the Word of God is disseminated unto the creation of God both in Heaven and in Earth.....Jesus, as the spokesman of God disrobed himself of the Father's Glory, came to be flesh and walked among humanity upon this earth.....This was accomplished by the power of the H.S. and the workings of the H.S......

So how does man speak? by the flesh or by the spirit?

God's Word is Truth.
John 1:7-13
7 The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe.


8 He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light.


9 That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.


10 He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.


11 He came unto his own, and his own received him not.


12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:


13 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.

Everything, just like responding to a question with a question speaks volumes.

The Word of God/Captain of the Host of The Lord/only begotten Son was also born of a real woman. This made it possible for Him to be made sin for us who knew no sin. The bride of Christ is holy. Jesus did not marry the sin, but took it away from us (we who are born again do not have an identity which includes sin, and most likely don't even know our real name yet).

Romans 7 speaks concerning the fact that if we hate sin...we (the real born again us) do not sin. (Of course birth does take place twice...once in the womb...and another time when the earthen vessel appears out of the womb. But really we are born in the womb and changed.) Even a baby according to the flesh is changed by the fact that eventually it takes in oxygen differently.
