So you believe Jesus not divine AND human?

Of course Jesus is Divine...You guys seem to forget or never realized that Jesus couldn't go to heaven in his human body...No more than we can go to heaven in our human body...

1Jn_3:2 Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.

It does NOT say He will be like us...

You may think Jesus is sitting up there in a robe, with long blond hair and blue eyes, the spittin' image of his mother Mary...

But John the apostle saw Jesus and here's his description...

Rev 1:13 And in the midst of the seven candlesticks one like unto the Son of man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the paps with a golden girdle. Rev 1:14 His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire; Rev 1:15 And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters.

Clearly this is not the same human like Jesus that John used to hang with in his youth...No doubt Jesus has a body with a human shape...And we know that Jesus was born in the image of a human...

The bible never says God/Jesus was created in our image...We are created in his/their image...God was not born in the flesh...God became manifest in the flesh...

Our body is just a shell that we run around in...The real 'us' is inside our body...

Mary provided a temporary human body for Jesus to live in...When Jesus died, he received a new body...One that doesn't bleed...One that can go thru walls...

But no, I don't believe Jesus has a human body like ours...Jesus has a glorified, heavenly body...The same type of glorified, heavenly body his mother Mary will have when her body gets to heaven...

If Jesus didn’t go to heaven in his human body, where is it? Basement of the Vatican? :-D

Plus you still have not answered the question, if Jesus is God and God is all powerful and Jesus was born of a woman, who raised him and nurtured him, can we assume he loved her in a way that was both human and divine? And with such love, wouldn’t he have 1. created her without sin and 2. brought her body and soul to heaven? If I had the power to do that for my mom, gone now for 15 years, I would do that. Who wouldn’t?
