markinkansas Yes, careful Bible study shows it. He was fully man, but He was also fully God (Colossians 2:9).
The Word Made Flesh (John 1:1, 14): The Gospel of John states, "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word
was God... The Word became flesh and lived among us" (John 1:1, 14), identifying Jesus as God incarnate.
Fullness of Deity: Colossians 2:9 says, "For in Christ all the fullness of the Deity lives in bodily form".
"God with Us" (Immanuel): Matthew 1:23 calls Jesus "Immanuel," meaning "God with us," fulfilling prophecy.
Genesis 1 shows the Trinity (Father, Son/Word, and Holy Spirit) working together in bringing things into being (v. 3, 6, 9, etc.), and the plural
"Us" when creating humanity (v. 26), pointing to one God in three persons involved in creation.
Genesis 1:26: "Then God said, 'Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness...'" The use of "us" and "our" shows God speaking with other divine persons... the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, as co-creators. How They Show Unity:One God, Multiple Persons: The chapter presents one God (singular noun Elohim) performing actions through distinct, yet unified, divine expressions: the commanding Father, the spoken Word (Son/Jesus), and the active Spirit.
Interconnected Roles: Each Person plays a role in creation, demonstrating their inseparable work and shared divine nature from the very start.
New Testament Confirmation: John 1:1-3 confirms Jesus (the Word) was with God and
was God, and present at creation, and Colossians 1:16 states all things were created through Him.
