Was the incarnate Word of God (John 1:14), confined to Jesus Christ's body?

"GOD was manifested in the flesh" (I Timothy 3:16) and became "a servant" (Philippians 2:7) who "was made a little lower than angels" (Hebrews 2:7); hence Jesus Christ who was GOD and *man* (Hebrews 4:15)!!!

He gave up HIS POWER to become Son of man and didn't regain until resurrection (Matthew 28:18) yet was "ONE SELFSAME SPIRIT" (I Corinthians 12:11-12)!

Do you recall Jesus saying in John 17:5 "And now, O Father, glorify thou Me with thine own self with the glory I had with thee BEFORE the world was?" That was "the Son of man" speaking who was "in flesh" knowing that HE was about to suffer so that tells us HE "became a servant" for you and I!

Therefore, "the incarnate Word of God (John 1:14) was NOT confined to Jesus Christ's body" since HE was in heaven while on earth and ANY PLACE else HE desired; SIMULTANEOUSLY!

Before embarking on the journey such a question invokes you have to start with the fundamental basic truth......we cannot say for certain. More than that we have to ask .Do we NEED to know? Why isn't the matter made clear in the bible? Only by establishing these truths can we engage in such endeavours.

Frankly, therefore, I don't know if Christ was fully contained in a human shell. If He were not it is less than completely honest to contend He was FULLY human since to be FULLY human means being restricted by the human frame. If Christ was present outside the body whilst part of Him was contained inside the body He was not fully human in the sense He was not contained. He was really only partly human.

In quoting John 1:14 you assume Christ must have been more than human on the basis that glory was seen in Him but that is to make assumptions not supported. In the first place you have to get into the quagmire of deciding where Christ's glory lies. Is it in essence (that became human), His power and authority (that got set apart) or perhaps His divinity. This is something we cannot know for sure, but we do not that Christ incarnate did not have the glory He had before incarnation because He asked the Father for that glory to be returned. Irrespective, there was something about Christ incarnate that drew people to Him. Was it His divine essence, His divine glory or nothing more than His sinless human frame?

For me personally, I have always struggled with the idea that Jesus was FULLY human and FULLY God. It doesn't make any sense nor does it fit the scriptures. What it seems to encapsulate is some men's idea of how to reconcile scripture which results in their best guess of what is. If this works for some people then great. Since it changes nothing of who Christ is, what Christ did and who we are in Him, it matters so much less than other things and indeed the ultimate calling .."to do His will".

For me, I believe that at the heart of God is His essence.... His unchanging character. Each member of the Trinity is so intune with one another that in effect they think and act as one with unchanging thought, unchanging love, etc. Therefore, if any member of the Trinity, puts aside their divince powers (omniscience, omnipresence, omnipotence) in essence they will remain unchanged. Granted they will not have the divince powers but aside from that they are unchanged. This is how I see Christ being God incarante. His essence was still God, He just deliberately entered into a human frame and willingly put aside His divine powers. I see this view fitting with the scriptures.

Stephen while dying called God Jesus, ( Acts 7:59 )

The Holy Ghost is not a third person in the Godhead, but rather the manifestation of the Spirit of God ( the Creator ), and of the resurrected Christ, coming to dwell in the hearts and lives of all men, who will be obedient to the gospel, as the Comforter, Sustainer, and the Keeper ( John 14 : 16—26; Rom. 8 : 11 ) .

_ Jesus is the Christ ( Matt. 16:16, the creator of all things ( Col. 1: 16,17 ) ; God with us ( Matt. 1 :23 ) ; God made flesh ( John 1 : 1 ); God manifested in the flesh

( Rev. 1 : 8 ; Isa. 9: 6 ). To this, Jesus Himself testified when He said : "He that hath seen me hath seen the Father " ( John 14:7--11 ) ; and " I and my Father are one"

( John 10:30 )

Jesús is God, come IN the FORM of man, so God in man's body.

I think you're right, the relationship continued if that's your meaning.

We know Jesus did things man did not do.

The Scriptures make it clear that Jesus was entirely human from his birth until his death.

John did not say that the Word was merely clothed with flesh. He became flesh and was not part flesh and part God.

If Jesus had been human and divine at the same time, it could not have been said that he had been made a little lower than angels. Hebrews 2:9

If Jesus had been both God and man when on the earth, why did he repeatedly pray to Jehovah?

Paul wrote: In the days of his flesh Christ offered up supplications and also petitions to the One who was able to save him out of death, with strong outcries and tears, and he was favorably heard for his godly fear. Hebrews 5:7

That Jesus was not partly a spirit when on the earth is proved by Peter’s statement that Christ was put to death in the flesh, but made alive in the spirit.

Only because Jesus was wholly human could he have experienced what imperfect people experience and thus become a sympathetic high priest.

Paul said: We have as high priest, not one who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who has been tested in all respects like ourselves, but without sin. Hebrews 4:15

As the Lamb of God that takes away the sin of the world, Jesus gave himself a corresponding ransom for all.

In that way, Jesus bought back exactly what Adam had lost perfect, eternal human life.

Since God’s justice required soul for soul, Jesus thus had to be what Adam was originally a perfect human, not a God-man.

God is God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. It is that simple. One is a concept, not a number.

Jesus Christ is part of the eternal God.

1 John 5:7 (NKJV)

7 For there are three that bear witness in heaven: the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit; and these three are one.

No

Let this mind be in you that was in Christ Jesus.

Philippians 2:5-11King James Version (KJV)

5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:

6 Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:

7 But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:

The Word was a separate entity from the Father. When he became the human Jesus, that is what he will be forever.
