Was Jesus Real?

A comment on our first post implied a question of Christ's physical nature. As such, this post will address what and who Christ really was. Christ was a true human being in the sense that he walked this Earth and spoke his parables. This is historically proven. However, the question is how God managed to become a physical entity though he is a metaphysical being. God merely transformed himself into Christ, his Incarnate being. The Incarnation is not merely a part of God on Earth. It isn't just God making a messenger on Earth. Rather, Christ is like God in a different language. For the sake of analogy, let's say the metaphysical is like books written in Latin.  To continue the metaphor, let's call the physical dimension English. While the "God Book" would be written in Latin, it can always be translated into English. When it's been translated, it's still the "God Book," meaning it is still the fullness of God in a physical form.  That's sort of how Christ is. He is GOd in an Incarnate form. He is fully human and yet fully divine. That is why Christ was the perfect person for Redemption. He is both infinite and he represents a finite being. Let's start on why an infinite sacrifice is required for redemption.

The first sin was a sin of pride. The reason it was such a great sin were because it was the first and that it violated God. Each sin today, tomorrow, and every day after originates from Original Sin. That sin essentially started a horrible streak of humanity to sin. Since sin will exist forever, the bad from all of these sins are summed up to be infinite. This means the first sin, since it got the ball rolling, is an infinite offense.  Further, the first sin was directly against God, making it egregious in its effect.

Now we address why it had to be incarnated God who redeemed mankind. If the sacrifice were not truly human, it could not be held as a sufficient sacrifice. See, mankind is culpable for Original Sin. As such, mankind must be the one to pay. The only way to truly have a combination of an infinite and human sacrifice is to  have an incarnate God.  That means Jesus not only had to walk the Earth, but he had to be human. While he seemed to defy the laws of this world, that is because he is God, not because he isn't human. That makes it clear that Christ did physically exist as a human being.
