[Cronos]

so then, who do you say Christ was? He was definitely not just a man, right?

Of course “not just a man”. A perfect man as he had to be in order to serve as a ransom sacrifice, “what is given in exchange for another as the price of his redemption, ransom” is the way Thayer’s Greek-English Lexicon describes antilutron or corresponding ransom. (1 Tim. 2:6)

Corresponding to what? What Adam lost for mankind, perfect life. Hence Christ is also called “the last Adam” (1 Cor. 15:45) The first Adam was not part God, part human or God in human form nor was the last Adam, Christ.

So No, not just a man.

If more than a perfect human and mediator between man and God (1 Tim. 3:5) who do you say Christ was?
