T or F to the doctrine which teach: "Jesus was God's chief representative on earth."?
1 Timothy 3:16
And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.

Questions:
1) What is the difference between BEING God and being a chief Representative of God?
2) How could God me manifested in the flesh and be a represenative of God at the same time?
3) If the WORD is / was God and the SAME which was in the beginning with God was God and the WORD which was God was made flesh, how do you get God mixed up with a represenative of God?
4) How could God be manifested in the flesh if it was a represenative of God?
@ Alex, I don't understand what is so hard to be understood: If I took a cup of water from the Ocean, it would be the whole Ocean but it would still be the Ocean? If Jesus said he came out from the father ( Ocean ) and came into the word, then isn't he God in part and not the whole universal God while being God manifest in human form?
I don't see that in any wise a TRINITY, but as ONE GOD who took part of himself and manifested himself in human form and then later return that portion to it's source.
@ Shihan: What your trouble seems to be is separating the fleshly man Jesus which was born of the virgin from the spirit which created the virgin and the universe.
It's that earthly man that was called Jesus announced by a angel, the spirit was named by the father himself before the world ever was. Paul tells:
1 Corinthians 12:3
Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God calleth Jesus accursed
He is speaking of the HOLY GHOST JESUS, you don't call him accursed. and you can not defile the holy ghost with sin nor was he ever made to be sin for any man.
Galatians 3:13
Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:
Here he is NOT! speaking of the HOLY GHOST JESUS but the man Jesus, he was made a curse, he was hanged on a tree / cross......It is the holy ghost that anointed Jesus at baptism and the FATHER, word and the HOLY GHOST is ONE. It was the ho

I wouldn't tend to say that he was a representative, He was God himself. He was 100% Man and 100% Human, without a sin nature.
Jesus isn't just a represenative. Jesus has Always existed as part of the trinity. When he came to the earth he "took on Flesh", and became a man to live amoung them.
JOHN 1:14
"The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the One and Only, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth."
We as humans with our limited understanding, can't fully grasp how he was God and human at the same time. It's beyond our human comprehension abilities.

T . Jesus is the passover lamb who's blood was shed for our sins. He is the Messiah who will save us. He created with God. God is the father Jesus the son, he sent his holy spirit to make his people one. He and the father are like two fish's in a bucket of water. The water make them one. He is not the father. When being baptized he didn't shout out (without any one seeing his lips move) this is my beloved son in who I am well pleased. He didn't become a dove and land on his own shoulder. He also prayed to the father. He didn't pray to himself. Somethig for all you who say he is God to think about.
