Who said Jesus was "less than human?"
He is human, and more. It is possible to be both a brother and a savior.
What do you mean "can't?" We can and do. That's a fact.
I hate to be harsh, but you really aren't reading and responsing to what I wrote. I never said anything against Jesus being a brother and savior. He is both and that is easily supported by scripture.
"What do you mean "can't?" We can and do. That's a fact."
In referring to "confessing" that Jesus came in the flesh, there are to key words, 'confess' and 'in'.
Confess is "homologeo" meaning to say the same thing. Literally to say what you believe in the depths of your soul. Same word for confess Jesus as Lord in Romans 10:9,10. It goes beyond saying something with some sincerity.
The other, 'in' has a definition that mean 'in and totally in, no part out' as one being inside a circle drawn on the ground with no part outside the circle. It implies exclusion. In this case, being 'in the flesh' means being a human, totally human, not part human part god or totally human and totally god (however odd that is!)
So if one is saying that Jesus came in the flesh but really believe that he was God (who is not flesh or human) then there is no true confession.
