“Without the flesh, there is no Jesus.”
False. ONCE a Jesus of flesh came into being (at His conception), that meant there never can be a time without Jesus, but even without flesh Jesus is forever Jesus. When Jesus died He really died. He was separated from His flesh. His soul did not die, however. He had a human soul because that belongs to everyone of flesh and the Son of God had taken on flesh in the Incarnation. Thus, for those three days His cold body was in the tomb, His soul was very much alive and Jesus was still entirely Jesus in His soul.
I believe Jesus was in the furnace with the three boys. I believe it was Jesus that dislocated Jacob’s hip.
I believe that the only incarnation of God in human flesh is Jesus.
