Human Nature of Christ



Jesus Was Born of the Spirit

Luke 1:35 And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come
          upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee:
          therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be
          called the Son of God. (KJV)

Jesus Was Made Like Man

Phil 2:6,7 Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal
           with God: But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him 
           the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:

Jesus Took the Seed of Fallen Man

Heb 2:16 For verily he took not on him the nature of angels; but he took on
         him the seed of Abraham. (KJV)
Heb 2:17 Wherefore in all things it behoved him to be made like unto his
         brethren, that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in
         things pertaining to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the
         people. (KJV)
Heb 2:18 For in that he himself hath suffered being tempted, he is able to
         succour them that are tempted. (KJV)

Romans 1:3 Concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, which was made of the
           seed of David according to the flesh; (KJV)

Jesus Came in the Flesh

Heb 2:14 Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he
         also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he
         might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil;
Heb 2:15 And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime
         subject to bondage. (KJV)

Rom 8:3 For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh,
        God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin,
        condemned sin in the flesh: (KJV)

What does it mean to be in the Flesh ?

Rom 8:4 That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk
        not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. (KJV)
Rom 8:5 For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but
        they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit. (KJV)
Rom 8:6 For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is
        life and peace. (KJV)
Rom 8:7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject
        to the law of God, neither indeed can be. (KJV)
Rom 8:8 So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God. (KJV)
Rom 8:9 But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the
        Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of
        Christ, he is none of his. (KJV)

Antichrist does not believe He came in the Flesh

1 John 4:1 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they
           are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.
1 John 4:2 Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that
           Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God: (KJV)
1 John 4:3 And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in
           the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist,
           whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is
           it in the world. (KJV)

Did Jesus have any advantage over us ?

John 14:10 Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me?
           the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the
           Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works. (KJV)
John 14:12 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works
           that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he
           do; because I go unto my Father. (KJV)

Was Jesus Omnascient ?

Mark 13:32 But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels
           which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father. (KJV)

How was Jesus Tempted ?

Heb 4:15 For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the
         feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we
         are, yet without sin. (KJV)

James 1:13 Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God
           cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man: (KJV)
James 1:14 But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust,
           and enticed. (KJV)
James 1:15 Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when
           it is finished, bringeth forth death. (KJV)

Could Jesus follow His own will ?

John 5:30 I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my
          judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of
          the Father which hath sent me. (KJV)

Did Jesus Have to Perfect His Nature ? How ?

Luke 2:52 And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God
          and man. (KJV)

Heb 5:7 Who in the days of his flesh, when he had offered up prayers and
        supplications with strong crying and tears unto him that was able to
        save him from death, and was heard in that he feared; (KJV)
Heb 5:8 Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he
        suffered; (KJV)
Heb 5:9 And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto
        all them that obey him; (KJV)

2 Pet 1:4 Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises:
          that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having
          escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust. (KJV)

John 14:10 Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me?
           the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the
           Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works. (KJV)

Does God expect us to follow a Standard we can not attain like a carrot on a stick?

Psa 32:9 Be ye not as the horse, or as the mule, which have no understanding:
         whose mouth must be held in with bit and bridle, lest they come near
         unto thee. (KJV)
