Jesus had genitals, feet, eyes, ears, lungs, arms, a digestive system, and a circulatory system. And Jesus is most surely God.

Are you saying that JC's physical body is a part of God?

If you are Christian, sure. But to Jews, whose story Genesis is, that is not the case, so the questions remain.

Further, given the fact Creation occurred prior to Mary's pregnancy and the development of Jesus's body, how could Adam have been made in Jesus's image if that image had yet to exist? (i.e., Adam wouldn't have been made in God's image, but on the image God would take if Adam and Eve decide to disobey God, causing the fall, and necessitating the incarnation of Jesus. Was man created in God's potential image???)

Finally, Jesus had all the attributes of man because, as the Nicene Creed says, God "became" or "was made" man. Thus, his physical form was necessitated by him becoming man, and not on his essence as God. Therefore, logically, his human form could not be the image upon which man's form was made because it was not a function of his Godhood, but his personhood.

But wouldn't he require these to be Man?
