Was Jesus Christ Half God Half Man?
Virgin Birth: Truth Misunderstood or Misused
Many people are familiar with the story of the virgin birth of Jesus, the Son of God, as it was foretold in the Old Testament (Isaiah 7:14) as well as the New (Matthew 1:18-25). The 20th verse of the passage in Matthew is one of a few that is misunderstood or deliberately being used to confuse others so that they will hold the belief that Christ was half God, half man--in other words, a demi-god. It reads, "...The angel of the Lord appeared unto him (Joseph) in a dream, saying, Joseph (the man to whom the then virgin Mary was betrothed), thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife, for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost."
The anti-Christian idea that Jesus was half God half man, because he had a mortal mother (Mary) and a divine father (God the Father), has confused some people about Christianity in general. If Christ the Son of God was a demi-god, how is the Christian faith different from believing in Roman, Egyptian, and Greek mythology, which is labeled by Christians as paganism?
What It Means to Be Half God Half Man
A demi-god is simply a being who is half mortal and half god. Such a being, according to the stories of Roman, Egyptian, and Greek mythology, has one parent who is a mere mortal who had a child with a god. Also, it should be remembered that the demi-gods of Roman and Greek mythology are not said to be born of a virgin, but rather simply of a mortal and a god. Does the Christian Bible reveal Jesus, the Son of God as a being who was half God half man? No, it does not.
Biblical scripture clearly reveals what exactly was involved with the divine conception of Jesus in the womb of his mother Mary. The scripture of Hebrews 10:5 teaches, "...When he (Jesus) cometh into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, but a body hast thou prepared me." The word "thou" refers to the person of God the Holy Ghost.
God Incarnate Does Not Equate to Half God Half Man
God incarnate, or God in the flesh, refers to the Lord himself being temporarily housed in a mortal body during his brief life on Earth as a man. Remember, the Scripture reads, "...a BODY thou hast PREPARED me...." Scripture explains that the conception performed by the Holy Ghost consisted of a body that was divinely prepared to serve as a housing of flesh in which one of the persons of the God-head was to dwell. God temporarily housed in flesh is no where near the same thing as being half mortal and half god, or a demi-god. Jesus was not half mortal and half god, resulting in a demi-god. He was God himself who dwelt in a mortal body for a very brief period of time.
This truth is so important to understand that to deny it is to reflect the spirit of anti-Christ. The Christian Bible warns, "Every spirit (spirit in a person or an invisible spirit) that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come IN THE FLESH is of God. And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come IN THE FLESH is not of God. And this is that spirit of anti-Christ, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is is in the world" (1 John 4:2-3).
To come in the flesh is not the same thing as to BE half flesh. This is why scripture stresses "to come." Jesus was, is, and forever will be God who came to Earth in the flesh, not God who became half god half man. No, Jesus was not a demi-god. Such a concept is anti-Christian and pure paganism.
"...Jesus Christ. This is the true God (not demi-god) and eternal life" (1 John 5:20).
