We can likely agree that He was a human man. After that, it gets difficult.
What is Messiah?
What is Son of God?
What is Word?
My answer, basically, is that I don't know.
He refers to God SO many times as Father (who He also prayed to), that it's hard to believe He was God, as many claim He is.
Jesus spoke clearly and simply so that anyone can understand.
Read it
Believe it
Do it
Follow it.

Originally posted by @thinkofoneYes, I read it. Thank you.
See the last post on the previous page if you want to gain a basic understanding of the term "Messiah".
Now we're down to Son of God, Son of Man, and Word. None of which appear to be God.
Originally posted by @eladarI think my OP was pretty clear that when I try personally to answer the question "who do you say I am", asked by Jesus, that my reply is:
Not my proof. Just asking you to define yourself by either agreeing with John 1 or disagreeing with it.
Jesus, you sorta didn't make it very clear at all who you are.
And what about the name Emmanuel?
Originally posted by @chaney3Immanuel--meaning a title, like many titles that were attributed to Jesus, though they weren't his literal birth name. Which is why Matthew pointed out in the verse, the interpretation of the title. "God with us."
