Bill Schlegel | Is God Flesh? (part 2) A better way to understand John 1:14 @billschlegel1 | Uploaded March 2021 | Updated October 2024, 2 hours ago.
We continue our discussion of what John 1:14 "the Word became flesh" really means.

As described in earlier podcasts (#39 and #41) "the Word became flesh" does not mean that God became man/flesh.

So, what does the "Word became flesh mean?

Why does John use the word "flesh"?

How has the Greek philosophical concept popularized by Plato, that the soul lives separately from the body of flesh, influenced Christian interpretation of John 1:14? Does the Bible say that man's soul is alive separate from his body of flesh?

What is the biblical view of flesh? How is flesh alive? Can the God of the Bible ever be flesh?
