**Jesus rose from the dead as the Son of God—and nothing else!** 🔴 The Lord Jesus came as the second Adam to redeem the first Adam through his death on the cross, but it was never decreed that He would remain forever in a lowered state as a man. After completing the mission for which He humbled Himself, He returned to His former glory—so who decided that He should remain in His humbled state as a man? Which part of Scripture teaches this? Which New Testament writer affirmed it? Why do we teach human speculation? The written Word of God tells us that the Son of God came and walked on earth [fully] as a man, but it never teaches in any way that He existed as both fully man and fully God. Similarly, after His sacrificial death on the cross, He rose from the dead as the Son of God alone—not as both fully man and fully God. There is no direct or even indirect scriptural evidence for this. When He rose from the dead, it was declared with a divine decree: *"You are My Son; today I have begotten You."* This truth confirms that He was resurrected as the Son of God, yet there is not a single verse in Scripture that supports any claim contradicting this. **Acts 13:30-33** *"But God raised Him from the dead... And we declare to you the promise made to our fathers: God has fulfilled this for us, their children, by raising up Jesus, as it is also written in the second Psalm: ‘You are My Son; today I have begotten You.’"* 🔴 The Son of God, while on earth, walked in the flesh alone as a man; he was crucified, and died in the flesh alone. In His resurrection, however, He rose as the Son of God in the Spirit (as Spirit) and will remain in this glory forever. *"18 Because Christ also suffered once for sins, the just for the unjust, to bring you to God, by being put to death in the flesh but by being made alive in the spirit."* — **1 Peter 3:18** *"Concerning His Son Jesus Christ our Lord, who was born of the seed of David according to the flesh, and declared to be the Son of God with power according to the Spirit of holiness by the resurrection from the dead."* — **Romans 1:3-4** *"Now the Lord is [the?] Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty."* — **2 Corinthians 3:17** -----> The Amharic version just like the Aramaic one doesn't have the article"the". 🔴 This issue does not concern Christ alone—it affects all who are in Him. To think of Christ as still being a man after His resurrection is a major theological error. It is a rebellion against the truth of God’s written Word. Likewise, thinking of those who are in Christ as still being in the flesh is a sign of spiritual blindness. *"Therefore, from now on, we regard no one according to the flesh. Even though we have known Christ according to the flesh, yet now we know Him thus no longer."* — **2 Corinthians 5:16** ❗Just as denying Christ’s death in the flesh implies that we are still in our sinfulness, believing that Christ rose in a physical body or as a man implies a denial of our identity as children of God. If Christ had not risen as the Son of God, we could never become children of God. In short, this is a false teaching. ‼️Note. During his forty days stay after resurrection, he never walked on earth in the physical body but appeared and disappeared in the physical body, only to confirm that he is risen - even not to show the kind of his resurrection body. The settings he preferred and the interactions he had with his disciples mostly were intended to have them recall, perhaps, the unforgettable instances he had had with them before his death. From what is recorded in Acts and the gospels, we learn that the longest span of time he had with them was while walking either to Emmaus or to Mount Olive. The rest of the instances each seem never exceeded a couple of minutes. That means total time he appeared was less than one percent. More than 99 percent of his time after resurrection, he was never seen being in the physical body. No one knew his whereabouts. No one saw him coming from or walking away to somewhere; only he appeared and disappeared. Does all this prove he was in the flesh, in the physical body?
