Is the son just the flesh? The Bible teaches that the Son of Man came down from heaven: No one has ascended to heaven but He who came down from heaven, that is, the Son of Man who is in heaven. (John 3:13). The flesh translation: No one has ascended to heaven but He who came down from heaven, that is, the Flesh which is in heaven. How could it be that, while Jesus walked on earth, His Flesh was in heaven? Then what if you were to see the Son of Man ascending to where he was before?- john 6:62 the flesh translation: What then if you should see the Flesh ascend where it was before? Where was the Flesh before the incarnation? Certainly not in heaven. The One who came down from heaven is God, not the Flesh or the humanity. So we see again that the Bible does not segregate Jesus divine attributes from His human attributes and ascribe them to another subject. Traditional theology disputes the Oneness Pentecostal claim Son of God is a description of the flesh of the incarnation but concedes the title Son of man. Given the Bibles insistence on ascribing divine attributes to the Son of man, is this concession justified? The failure of the Son = flesh theory is especially glaring with these passages which ascribe creation to the Son: ...giving thanks to the Father who has qualified us to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in the light. He has delivered us from the power of darkness and conveyed us into the kingdom of the Son of His love...For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him. And He is before all things, and in Him all things consist. (Colossians 1:12-18).
