To answer your question I will go out on a limb and take a wild guess: because man cannot be God and still be man. The two are mutually exclusive!!!!!
Not a bad answer at all.
And how do you know what God can and cannot do?

Gabrielshow24:
Well, you didn't enunciate it properly for him. The way you put it created a contradiction because you earlier claimed, "God could not beget" 🤔, which is more in line with our cousins' view. Jesus is the only begotten of the Father as he is the only one through the action of the Holy Spirit to come forth from the womb of the woman without earthly donation on the man's part.

He is eternal and uncreated because several verses emphasize this, he himself said this. If we are to go by simple logic since he predates time then he can not be created🤔, since creation also connotes time.

This is the way to make them see it. Like two sides of a coin but yet all encapsulated by the coin itself. There are always several views but the best is always the complete view. You, yourself, are also guilty of this as you believe your choices are illusory—partial view. Hence He is a universal set that encapsulates all these things and doesn't cause any contradiction whatsoever!
Deepsight does this answer your question?
But he was the only begotten Son of God even before his mother was born. Right?

This is NOT true at all. Sooner or later they ALL get their comeuppance, publicly or privately, directly or indirectly.


Folks please forgive us but we have an important question. Please, we'll present the scenario then ask the question.

Here's the scenario:
*Various prophets foretold that GOD was coming to visit earth in the OT
* A mighty prophet (so mighty they thought he was Elijah or that prophet promised by God) came and said his entire mission was to prepare the way for that Person and that he was not fit to even untie his shoes.
* A Person then came and met all the conditions of birth and ancestry prophesied and was worshipped at birth by some discerning wise men with great spiritual insight, the Magi.
* He said himself he was the long-awaited God, the Son of God, and did things and conducted himself in a way that supports that.
* He was the only person Israelites ever tried to stone to death for saying he was God
* His closest friends and companions who dealt with him and knew him personally believed he was God
* For 2000+ he has been worshipped as, and interchangeably with, "jealous" God, and far from being punished by "jealous" God, his worshippers have been abundantly blessed and their numbers exploded and always increasing.
*Over those 2000+ years he has been worshipped by some very special people including people with great spiritual insights, various annointed ones, and saints.
*He is ALIVE and ACTIVE in people's lives TODAY and various people have testified to interacting with him including in dreams and near-death experiences.

Our question is:
CAN YOU BELIEVE SOME PEOPLE TODAY STILL DOUBT HE IS DIVINE??!!
They know better than people who knew him PERSONALLY! All based on their understanding of some words someone said that someone said that someone said that he might have said. Same words 300 bishops examined in totality and unanimously concluded he was divine!
If you can even remotely believe that please tell us on what basis you can believe such!

You said various prophets.
please can you give us two prophets who prophesied that God would impregnate another mans wife to sire a son and why GOD Needs a son all of a sudden.
then tell us which prophet prophesied that the said son was coming as a human sacrifice to god as God was not accepting mans sincere repentance just as he said in 2nd chronicles 7;14.
remember God said he does nothing without first revealing it to his servant the prophet see Amos 3:7

For a Christian, I find it remarkable that you can repeatedly attempt to tell a lie. You know very well you made that statement "hybrid" and not I, and yet you persist. Do you think repeating a lie one million times will make it true?
Nope, your assertions did! I am just recalling it to the feeble mind🤨. Once again, you can't change it dear. It's there for all to see. Hybrid 🤦🏾‍♂️

It's a categorization error on your part 😅.

I don't even believe that Jesus is anything divine. I see him as a man period.

So keep both your errors and your desperate lies to yourself.

And HOW do you know all this?
Why couldn't God have done as Paul wrote in Philippians 2 (and we have to presume that Paul knows better than you!)

6Who, being in very nature a God, did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage;

7rather, he made himself nothing by taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness.

8And being found in appearance as a man,
he humbled himself by becoming obedient to death— even death on a cross!

the entire so called new testament is deception.

Please provide the references.

I am waiting.

Please . I really want to see them

God has already provided everything we need in the Torah. I dont understand the purpose of the new theology the Romans fostered on the world.

Please provide the references....I asked you to in my previous post, you ignored it.


Hope it is not that Isaiah 7:14, because it is about a war that will soon happen. The sign was for king Ahaz to assure him his kingdom will still stand.
Or Isaiah 9:6 which is about future king Hezekiah. The child was already given/born when Isaiah was writing it. He is going to be a king in the future,meaning he was already a prince now (first son of king Ahaz).
Or Isaiah 53 which is about a different servant . And 8 times prior to Isaiah 53, Isaiah told you who the servant is....... isreal/ jacob

Let us assume that Jesus actually existed.

How is he different from you?
When man is Body made of dust + God's spirit or breath(which is same image and likeness as God) and the body is same image and likeness as earth.

Well, you have said well but you have failed to take into consideration the hypostasis or union of different sets. In a universal set of shapes, both circles and squares can coexist! —They don't contradict.

Because the truth is simple: you want to declare that God can be a man.
So, following your own question: how do you also know that?

Well, that's why he is Fully man👀 and Fully God and not some hybrid. He is no different to us for He spoke; He ate, He drank, He hungered, He thirsted, He went to the rest room👀 etc.

So yes, He had characteristics of both! —Divine and temporal! Also, He has been historically proven to have existed!

The prophet Micah specifically prophesied that the Messiah would be born in Bethlehem (Micah 5:2). 
Several prophecies point to Jerusalem as the location of Jesus's future ministry and suffering. 
• Psalm 2:6 speaks of God anointing his king on Zion. 
• Psalm 110:4 refers to the priesthood of the Messiah, also associated with Jerusalem. 
• Zechariah 9:9 foretells the Messiah's arrival in Jerusalem on a donkey. 
• Zechariah 12:10 speaks of a time when people will mourn for him in Jerusalem. 
• Galilee:
Isaiah 9:1-2 prophesies that the ministry of Jesus would begin in Galilee. 
• Egypt:
Hosea 11:1 speaks of God calling his son out of Egypt, which is interpreted as a prophecy of Jesus's time in Egypt as a child. 
• Ramah:
Jeremiah 31:15 speaks of weeping in Ramah, which is connected to the Massacre of the Innocents in Matthew 2:17-18. 
• Other Locations:
Prophecies also mention other locations in relation to specific events, such as the potter's field (Zechariah 11:12-13) and places associated with his crucifixion.

Thanks for you the mention but we all know, SpongeBob's friend is Patrick Star😅. Someone whose image you gladly fit. It's without doubt that a person called Jesus existed and was crucified. If Jesus is doubted as non-existent then all of history becomes dubious! Pls, take note and stop displaying puerile wisdom.
