1. Jesus Is Fully God and Fully Man
Biblical Position:
Jesus is not merely a man with God’s spirit. He is God the Son, preexistent, who took on flesh (John 1:1, 14).
John 1:1,14
“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God… and the Word became flesh and dwelt among us.”
Philippians 2:6–7
“Though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied himself… being born in the likeness of men.”
This is the doctrine of the Incarnation — Jesus is fully God and fully man, not merely a man with God’s spirit. The idea of “a man with God’s spirit” is akin to saying Jesus is just a prophet or a vessel, which denies His deity.

2. He Didn’t Begin in Mary’s Womb
Claim Refuted:
“…no transmigration of a preexisting spirit…”
Micah 5:2
“…from you shall come forth for me one who is to be ruler in Israel, whose coming forth is from of old, from ancient days.”
John 8:58
“Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I AM.”
Jesus clearly preexisted His birth. His incarnation wasn’t a “transmigration” but a miraculous union of divine and human natures in one Person.

3. The Fullness of God Can Dwell in Him
Claim Refuted:
“The heavens cannot even contain the fullness of God…”
Colossians 2:9
“For in Him the whole fullness of deity dwells bodily.”
God is omnipresent and omnipotent — He’s not limited by space or matter. The Incarnation is a divine mystery, but scripture plainly affirms it.

4. Deuteronomy 6:4 and the Trinity
Claim Made:
“The One God of Deuteronomy 6:4 is his Father and God, alone.”
Deuteronomy 6:4
“Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is one.”
This verse affirms monotheism, not Unitarianism. The Hebrew word for “one” (אֶחָד echad) can mean composite unity, like one cluster of grapes (Numbers 13:23) or “one flesh” in marriage (Genesis 2:24).
Jesus Himself affirms this unity with the Father:
John 10:30
“I and the Father are one.”
⸻
5. The Bible Calls Jesus “God”
Titus 2:13
“…our blessed hope—the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ.”
Hebrews 1:8
“But of the Son he says, ‘Your throne, O God, is forever and ever’…”
John 20:28
Thomas said, “My Lord and my God!”

In Summary: The Claim Is Unbiblical
The view you’ve shared:
•Denies Jesus’ deity
•Misrepresents the Incarnation
•Misinterprets God’s omnipresence
•Contradicts dozens of verses
The biblical teaching — affirmed by Jesus Himself, the apostles, and consistent throughout Scripture — is this:
Jesus is fully God and fully man, begotten not made, eternally existent, and the second Person of the triune Godhead.
