Jesus balanced His deity and humanity by remaining fully God while never allowing His deity to override His genuine human experience.
Les Feldick teaches that Jesus never stopped being God — He was God in the womb, in the manger, during His ministry, and after the resurrection. Yet He was also fully human through the virgin birth, and He deliberately kept the two natures separate, resting and sleeping when He was tired and speaking from His human side when He said He did not know the day or the hour.
John 1:1-3 — Shows Jesus as the eternal God who created all things, prior to His human birth.
Matthew 24:36 — Records Jesus' human limitation regarding the day and hour, while He remained God.
John 1:1-3 says, "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made." Revelation 22:13 records Jesus saying, "I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last." First Corinthians 15:45 calls the last Adam "a quickening spirit." At the same time, Matthew 24:36 shows Jesus speaking as man: "But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only."
Les Feldick teaches that Jesus is the Eternal Creator God who never stopped being God at any point — He was God in the womb, God in the manger, God in His growing-up years, God throughout His ministry, and God after His resurrection. At the same time, because He was born of Mary through the virgin birth, He was fully human with the same appetites and limitations, yet He was sinless. The balance was that Jesus never let His deity and humanity interfere or cross over. When He operated as a man, He did not let His deity override His humanity — He rested, slept, got tired, and lived as a human, even though He could have used divine power to rejuvenate Himself. This distinction is seen in Gethsemane, where His agony reveals His human side, and in His answer about the day and hour, where He spoke from His humanity side and honestly said no man knows, even though as God He could have named the exact day and hour.
No. Les Feldick teaches that Jesus never stopped being God at any moment. He was God in the womb, God in the manger, God in His growing-up years, God when He began His ministry, and God after His resurrection. Even while He was in Mary's womb, Scripture implies He was still God.
Les teaches that Jesus was "totally God" and "totally man," and He never let the two cross over. When He was tired or exhausted He could have let His deity rejuvenate Him, but instead He rested and slept. In the Garden of Gethsemane His agony was part of His human side, which is why John's Gospel can leave those details out while emphasizing the deity side.
In Matthew 24:36 Jesus said no man knows the day or hour. Les Feldick explains that Jesus spoke from His humanity side at that moment, so He was telling the truth as a man. Had He spoken from the God side, He could have named the exact day and hour. He was not playing games; He spoke honestly from the nature He chose to exercise.
Christ's Eternal Deity
Les teaches that Jesus is the Alpha and Omega and did not come into existence at Bethlehem — He was already the eternal God.
Humanity and Deity Kept Separate
Les teaches Jesus was totally God and totally man, and He never let the two interfere; when His body was exhausted He rested and slept instead of using deity to rejuvenate Himself.
Christ Never Stopped Being God
Les teaches that Jesus was God in the womb, throughout His ministry, and after resurrection, and the cults that deny His deity are contradicted by Scripture.
God in Every Stage of Earthly Life
Les teaches that Jesus was the Eternal Creator God in the womb, the manger, His growing-up years, and His ministry, and His miracles proved His identity to Israel.
Human Agony vs. Deity
Les teaches that Gethsemane revealed Jesus' human side, and John's Gospel could omit those details because John writes from the deity side.
The Word Was God
Les teaches from John 1 that the Word was with God and was God, and that all things were made by Him, showing the triune Godhead's consensus.
Virgin Birth Produced the God-Man
Les teaches that through the virgin birth Jesus had divine origin and sinless divine blood, yet was truly human with the same appetites — without sin.
Humanity Side of Day and Hour
Les teaches that when Jesus said no man knows the day or hour, He spoke from His humanity side honestly; had He spoken from His deity He could have named the exact time.
John 1:1-3: In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
Identifies Jesus as the eternal Word and Creator before His incarnation.
Matthew 24:36: But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.
Shows Jesus speaking from His human side about the Father's exclusive knowledge.
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.
Reveals that the last Adam, Jesus, remained a life-giving Spirit even in His role as the second Adam.
Revelation 22:13: I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.
Jesus declares His eternal nature and that He did not begin at Bethlehem.
John 14:10: Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works.
Jesus describes His union with the Father, supporting His deity while on earth.
No. Les Feldick teaches that Jesus never stopped being God. He was God in the womb, God in the manger, God in His growing-up years, God throughout His ministry, and God after His resurrection.
When Jesus said no man knows the day or hour, He spoke from His humanity side and honestly meant that as a man He did not know. Had He spoken from His deity side, He could have named the exact day and hour.
Through the virgin birth, Jesus was born without a human father, making Him sinless and divine, yet He was born of Mary and was truly human with the same appetites we have — He lived, ate, and slept like us, without sin.
No. Les Feldick teaches that Jesus could have let His deity rejuvenate Him when He was tired or exhausted, but He did not. Instead He rested and slept, playing the role of a human.
