“Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son” (1 John 2:22).


But what if Jesus is not a human but a spiritual entity extra human..
You know that existed before being human and after being human..
As all humans may be... as well...

He can still be Messiah and Son of God.. but not in a carnal way..
As all humans are.. i.e. sons and daughters of God.. and angels too..

God having sex appears to be a lame concept..
Gender is such a carnal concept..

But quiet normal to those in a carnal state..
Even to ideological Judeo-Christians..

***The first challenge to christianity was Gnosticism, which denied the Humanity of Christ. It is evidence that the claim to Jesus being Divine was so strong that the only way to take issue with it was to deny his humanity. It’s a heretical belief that holds no water.

You can take all your “what ifs” and put them up against all the “what ares” God already revealed to humans. There are myriad religions out there in our world where people did exactly that - played the “what if?” game. Yet, the Creator and sustainer of the entire universe deigned to step into our space and time in the form of a carnal, flesh and blood human, born from a human mother in all the pain and blood and ickiness that entails. He went through childhood and adulthood waiting thirty-three years before entering the world stage as the God-man savior and completing his earthly ministry. He suffered, bled and died - feeling every bit the same kind of pain, humiliation and agony any human would in his same situation. He endured all that - even though he could have called ten thousand angels to rescue him - because he was doing it all for OUR benefit. He rose from the dead - after three days JUST as he said he would - walked around and spoke to people for forty days before he ascended into heaven and to this day he sits at the right hand of God the Father making intercession for us. The way I/we know all this is because GOD told us through His word. People didn't just make it up playing that "what if" game, God said it and it is why we CAN believe it and build our faith upon it.
