RE: He cannot become a man.

I take it you don’t believe that Jesus Christ is God incarnate?

"He cannot become a man."

Sure He can, and did. God the Son came to us in the flesh, yet His divinity was unaffected. As the saying goes, He was fully God and fully man.

He cannot break a promise.

For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.

Read the Gospel according to John. Then read Hebrews.

**He cannot become a man.**

True. BUT...

God is IN a man,....with all of his fulness. God was IN Christ reconciling the world unto himself. IN Christ dwells all the fulness of the Godhead. That’s how the Son of God achieves the titles bestowed upon him in Is. 9:6, and in chapter 1 of Hebrews.

Jesus Christ is the image of the invisible God. NO man hath seen God at any time. God is displaying his unlimited power and attributes TO man by being IN a man. Which is what the Christ spends a great deal of time explaining in the gospel of John; that the Father IN him is the source of EVERY divine attribute that the Son displays. Jn chap. 14 lays this out very plainly.
God the Father is a Spirit. Jesus Christ declares that to be so (Jn 4:23,24), and told his disciples that “..a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have” Lk 24:39.

He further states that the Father is the only true God. Jn 17:1-3

He tells Mary Magdalene, “..I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and to your God”. Jn 20:17

Jesus Christ is the ‘beginning of the creation of God’. Rev. 3:14

A stumbling block of the ‘three God’ folks is this: Neither Jesus Christ or his apostles EVER defined the Son as ‘God the Son’; but always as ‘the Son of God’.

ALSO,..Those that believe that the flesh of the Son...is God... are are using their carnal logic to declare that Mary, the mother of Jesus Christ, is also the mother of God. In so doing they defy the Christ’s own description of God.

I wish I had more time for this, but am very busy and need rest. I drive a semi-truck, and must not fall asleep at the wheel.
