No, Jesus never stopped being God during His time on earth.
According to Les Feldick, Jesus was just as much God in the womb as He was after His birth, and He remained God throughout His earthly experience, including His ministry and after His resurrection. His deity was always under control, never interfering with His humanity, but He never ceased being God.
1 Corinthians 15:45 — Contrasts the first Adam (a living soul) with the last Adam (a life-giving spirit), affirming Christ's divine role.
Scripture affirms that Jesus Christ is the eternal Creator God, not just a created being. As the second man, He is 'the Lord from heaven' (1 Corinthians 15:47). The first man Adam was made a living soul, but the last Adam became a life-giving spirit (1 Corinthians 15:45). This contrast highlights Christ's divine nature, distinct from Adam's created humanity. Jesus Himself said, 'I and my Father are one' (John 10:30), underlining His equality with God. While the Gospels show His human experiences—tiredness, hunger, and prayer—these do not negate His deity. The Bible consistently presents Jesus as fully God and fully man, coexisting in one person.
Les Feldick emphasizes that Jesus never stopped being God during His earthly life. He states that Jesus was just as much God in the womb as He was after His birth and all the way through His earthly experience (Clip 2). This deity was under control; even as a child, Jesus did not exert His divine powers (Clip 2). As the God-Man, He was total God and total man, and the two natures never crossed over (Clip 1). He never let His deity interfere with His humanity, choosing to rest and sleep when He was tired (Clip 3). Les also refutes false teachings that deny Christ's deity, affirming that Jesus Christ is God, the Creator, and the Sustainer of the universe (Clip 6). He highlights that the purpose of Christ's earthly ministry was to prove to Israel who He was through miracles and signs (Clip 4).
Yes, Les Feldick asserts that Jesus was just as much God in the womb as He was after birth and throughout His growing-up years (Clip 2). Even as a child, He was God, but He didn't exert His deity; He acted like an ordinary child and was in control (Clip 5).
No, Les Feldick emphasizes that Jesus never let His deity overtake His humanity under circumstances that would have benefited Him (Clip 5). When He was tired, He could have rejuvenated Himself, but instead He rested and slept (Clip 3). He kept them separate: when He was deity, He was deity; when He was man, He was man (Clip 5).
Les Feldick explains that the first Adam was made a living soul, but the second Adam, Christ, is a life-giving spirit (Clip 7). Christ is not a created being but the Lord from heaven, the Creator Himself (Clip 6). This contrast highlights Christ's divine nature and His role as the sustainer of life.
Why a Seed Must Die Before It Can Live — 1 Corinthians 15:36 Explained
animal die. We hate death. We hate the death of our loved ones, and we have to understand that except for our faith in the eternal future, the unbelievers will never see their loved ones again, but we will. We're going to see them, we're going to know them, and we're going to recognize them.
Jesus as the God-Man
Les teaches that Jesus was total God and total man, and His deity and humanity never crossed over; He never let His deity override His humanity, even in suffering.
Deity in the Womb
Les directly states that Jesus never stopped being God—He was as much God in the womb as after birth, and His deity was under control.
Deity Under Control
Les explains that Jesus, though divine, chose not to let His deity interfere with His humanity, resting and sleeping like a human.
Eternal Creator God
Les affirms that Jesus was the Eternal Creator God, never ceasing to be God, and His earthly ministry was to prove His identity to Israel.
Alpha and Omega
Les reinforces that Jesus never let His deity overtake His humanity and that He is the Alpha and Omega, the eternal God.
Refuting False Teachings
Les adamantly teaches that Jesus is God, the Creator, and Sustainer, warning against false teachings that deny His deity.
Second Adam as Life-Giving Spirit
Les contrasts the first Adam, a living soul, with the second Adam, Christ, who is a life-giving spirit, confirming His divine nature.
1 Corinthians 15:45: And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit.
This verse contrasts Adam's created soul with Christ's life-giving spirit, supporting His deity.
John 10:30: I and my Father are one.
Jesus directly states His unity with the Father, affirming His deity.
Yes, according to Les Feldick, Jesus was just as much God in the womb as He was after His birth. His deity was always present, but it was under control, so He did not exert His divine powers as a child.
No, Les Feldick teaches that Jesus never stopped being God. He is the alpha and omega, the beginning and the end, and He remains the eternal God.
Les Feldick emphasizes that if Jesus Christ is not God, then our Gospel is a farce. He is the Creator and Sustainer of the universe, and denying His deity undermines the core of our faith.
