Is he only a mere “man” like the rest of us or does he also possess the “God” nature which makes him “God” as well as “Man”? The Bible is very clear that he is separate from “God” and is the “Son of God” but does this separation mean he isn’t “God” in addition to being a “Man”? Is he the “Son of Jehovah” (YHWH) or is he also the OT being who is known as “Jehovah”? Was he an existing entity before being born to Mary two thousand years ago? What exactly is Jesus according to the Bible and the Latter-day Scriptures? </div> <bR> <div> <A HREF="mailto:ewatson@shaw.ca" TARGET="_top" TITLE="mailto:ewatson@shaw.ca"><U>e-mail me!</U></A></div> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
