Did Jesus ever stop being God while He was on earth?
Jesus never stopped being God during His earthly life. He was the Eternal Creator God in the womb, in the manger, during His growing-up years, and when He began His ministry. His miracles and signs proved to Israel that He was not merely another great man but the Eternal God.
Les explains that Jesus was not just a prophet; He was the Eternal Creator God, and He never stopped being God. He was God in the womb, in the manger, during the growing-up years, and when He began His ministry. The whole purpose of His earthly ministry, miracles, and signs was to prove to the nation of Israel who He was—not just another great man, but the Eternal God. Les also notes that Orthodox Jews cannot comprehend that Christ was the God of the Old Testament or accept the Trinity, though Scripture says God is One and reveals Him in three persons. This must be taken by faith.
