God\'s Plan for ManDid you know that Christ is introduced by the Bible as Man not God? You know I have many proofs on these, but I will show you some.

Firstly, I want to let you know that Christ Himself introduced His own as the Man who was telling the truth.

40 But now you seek to kill Me, a Man who has told you the truth which I heard from God. Abraham did not do this.(John 8:40, NKJV)

From that verse alone, it is already clear that Christ is a man. When Christ said He is a man, then that is the truth which He heard from God.

40 But now you seek to kill Me, a Man who has told you the truth which I heard from God. Abraham did not do this.(John 8:40, NKJV)

In other words, that truth that Christ is a man is also according to God. And we should also take note, that it was distinguished that Christ is different from God, Christ is not God and God is not Christ, because Christ is the one who heard God and God is the one whom Christ heard.
If God and Christ have the same testimony to Christ Himself that He is a man, how do the Apostles testified about Christ?

Apostle Peter has the same testimony and declared the same as of that of Christ. According to him, Christ is a Man attested by God.

22 “Men of Israel, hear these words: Jesus of Nazareth, a Man attested by God to you by miracles, wonders, and signs which God did through Him in your midst, as you yourselves also know—(Acts 2:22, ibid.)

Christ is not God because it is God who attested Christ and Christ is the one being attested by God.

Apostle Paul also taught that Christ is a man who is the mediator between God and Men.

5 For there is one God and one Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus, (I Timothy 2:5, ibid.)

We should also take note that Christ who is a man, is the mediator between God and men. In other words, God is not Christ because Christ is the one mediating God and men. And Christ is not God because God is the one being mediated by Christ to men.
