What does 1 timothy 3:16 mean?

God the Son IS God. That's how trinitarianism works.

Here in 1 Tim 3:16 we see that Paul is very clearly talking about Jesus.

"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."

Who else could that possibly refer to? Considering it matches Jesus exactly, and Paul's sole emphasis in all his letters is the focus on Jesus Christ.

Conclusion: Paul believed Jesus was God incarnate - God in the flesh. Paul was a Trinitarian.

Paul's letters are not Gospel. Paul was never a disciple or an apostle of Jesus Christ and all 3 different versions of his Damascus RD. story are fake. He wrongly thought an Apostle was greater than a Prophet which is why he chose to call himself an apostle.

Kind of a no brainer. But many don't see. Must be the Holy Spirit.

But in a family, OK? Smith......the whole family is SMITH.

The father is Joe Smith.

He has a son and they name the son Brandon.

So, is Brandon ....Smith....or not? He's the son.

God is like Smith....the group name.

Jesus is the son, part of the group.

So, God was SHOWN CLEARLY ....in the FLESH...who is that? Jesus.

Jesus came, went back. You remember, right?

They are ALL....ONE...one in agreement, one in their ways...

like father, like son.

Only this rarely happens in this life, does it?

But if the genetics were perfect, then the offspring would be the same.

Sometimes it's hard to see it.

Read Hebrews chapter one for the explanation.

Jesus is a perfect physical representation of God.

Not god but a perfect living image of him and it is god the almighty himself who sent his son.

Now it's not hard to understand just read the bible it explains how we are created in gods image a man a women a child.

Not a man that changed shape into those

Jesus is God

1Ti 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.

Paul is speaking of Jesus. He says nothing about God being manifest in the flesh. Neither Paul nor any of the other gospel writers taught the doctrine of the trinity. It is not mentioned any where in the bible.

The Catholics will even tell you they made it up several hundred years after the death of Christ.

It doesn't have to say, "the God, the Son" since Jesus also has the title

of God.

god the son ,being Jesus is God
