What does God Made Flesh mean?
Jesus Christ is a man, NOT God. Therefore he has flesh. Is that clear to everyone. JESUS IS NOT GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!From a Christian standpoint, it means that Jesus was God become flesh, making 2 parts of the trinity, the third being the 'holy ghost'. There was a big to-do about all this in the early days of Christianity. The Roman Catholics insisted that Jesus was less human and more god-like; gnostics (means inner knowledge), insisted that he was more human and not so much god. This was bad for the Catholics, because they believe we need an intermediary between us and god, and gnostics believe we find god in ourselves and in all the world and universe around us. The Catholics have done pretty good for themselves, being an astoundingly wealthy institution.
