Who was Jesus Christ before He came in the likeness of sinful flesh?
Before He came in the likeness of sinful flesh, Jesus Christ was the Creator God Himself—the Creator of Genesis 1, the One who spoke and the universe came into being, and the One who spoke and Adam came up out of the dust of the ground.
Les teaches that Jesus Christ was the Creator God Himself before coming in the likeness of sinful flesh. He was the Creator of Genesis 1, the One who spoke and the universe came into being, and the One who spoke and Adam came up out of the dust of the ground. God sent His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh so that, for the sake of dealing with the old Adam, He condemned the old Adam and the flesh. Les explains this is something he still cannot comprehend except through the eyes of faith, and that Christ's whole purpose in coming was to get right down at man's level, in man's frame of flesh, that He might condemn sin and the flesh.
In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.
