The "likeness of men" is not stating that Christ wasn't a man/human. It is stating that Christ has come into a new state of being when He became Man.
No.
God is invisible. He changes not.
Jesus is the same, yesterday, today, forever.
Did God exist before He create anything ?
Did Gods word exist before Gods created anything?
Did Gods word exist before a man Knew the Name God gave His word?
Jesus appeared in the Likeness AS a man, expressly so men could see Him.
Spirits Can appear as “things” familiar to Man.
When the Dove sat on Jesus’ shoulder for men to See, was that a Dove, or the Spirit of God?
Did Gods Spirit become ... a new state of being? A new nature? His own created Dove animal? No.
Jesus LOOKED like a “Jewish man”.
Jesus came to fulfill the Law.
Did you know Jews and Gentiles...Laws have been for centuries, a child that comes from from a woman’s womb is ACCORDING TO MANS LAW, that woman’s lawful Child?
The Husband of that woman according to mans Law, this that man’s lawful Child..
Because Jesus came forth from Mary’s womb...a Jew...and Her husband A Jew......OF the House of David......Jesus’ was LAWFULLY, according to mans Law......Gentile Law, the legal son of Mary and Joseph.
And Jewish Law, the legal son of Mary and Joseph......AND...............
ONLY a legal son of a descendent of kind David, of the House of David, CAN LAWFULLY SIT on king Davids Throne....AND further being descended FROM Abraham, Isaac,.......A LAWFUL Heir of Abrahams Promised LAND......AND ONLY God Himself Can Be Head of His OWN Earthly Government....
Jesus.......
TOOK UPON HIMSELF, “the seed of Abraham”...
And...WHAT WAS Abraham’s Seed?
Descendent-ship down to David.
It is a mix and separation of what is earthly and what is spiritual.
Jesus had to satisfy the LEGALITIES of both....and did.
Do you know HOW a Gentile Can ALSO be included to Occupy “Abraham’s promised land.....promised TO Abraham’s heirs”?
Same as Jesus did....Take upon themselves the Seed of Abraham.
And it gets deeper.
And that occurs by, through, of “conversion” IN Christ.
Are you Abraham’s seed...Abraham the Hebrew?
Luke 1:
[
55] As he spake to our fathers, to
Abraham, and
to his seed for ever.
[
73] The oath which he sware to our father
Abraham,
Gal 3:
[
29] And if ye be Christ's, then are ye
Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.
Heb.2
[
16] For verily he took not on him the nature of angels; but
he took on him the seed of Abraham.
It’s like a reverse...Jesus ... of sorts became the adoptive son of Abraham. And men ..... of sorts become the adoptive son of God.
A mixing of natural and spirit...By Gods Order and Way, of Declaring.
